The online casino is offering a whopping 80 percent bonus on the deposit made by players. This bonus is a cool 15 percent extra than that on the usual days!

The Real Treat

The real treat comes from the fact that the casino is offering two such bonuses to players everyday. The special offers are subject to status. Players need to take a second look at the promotions button, located at the casino lobby, to make sure that the coupons are theirs.

Before the players can grab the booty, they need to wager about 25 times the bonuses and deposit on the scratch cards, keno, and slots. Players wagering on blackjack, video poker, or table games during promotion at this site will be lucky to receive a different package of bonuses.

Manhattan Slots is offering a bonus of 65 percent on unlimited coupons. This bonus is again ten percent higher than the usual. But players need to wager bonuses and deposit 25 times to get this high bonus offer. Players wishing to reap the benefits of the festive season need to gear up their gaming skills and come to this online casino.

Lucky Sundays on Red Flush

Sundays of this season are a time for celebration for casino players. Red Flush Casino is promoting the “Sensational Sunday” on their website. Every Sunday, players get a chance to win a share of 100,000 loyalty points and 1000 credits, which are given by the site every Saturday.

Players visiting Red Flush Casino site on Sundays will automatically enter the Sensational Sunday. They will get an opportunity to win prizes for the “biggest winner,” “biggest wagerer,” and “biggest loser.”

The biggest winner will be the one who grabs the single largest win on any slots game. The biggest wagerer will be the player who puts the largest amount on the game on that day. The biggest loser will be the one who has lost the highest amount.

Red Flush has more offers, apart from Sensational Sunday. The site is offering Tuesday as well as Wednesday promotions. The players on these days can grab fabulous deposit match bonuses.

Weekend promotions on this site are as exciting as Sundays. This online casino, which has been providing fun gaming days to online gamblers since 2008, is known for its fantastic festive offers.

A couple of features that make this casino one of the favorites of players are great payment techniques and customer service. Players, whether wagering a modest amount or a huge one, feel at home while gambling on this site.

Come Christmas and online casinos open their box of goodies for players. Although each day is special when the Christmas spirit is in the air, yet the online casino offers make certain days luckier and extraordinary for die-hard players.

Gambling In US Market Could Be Risky

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

There are thousands of casinos operating online while there are some that are not trustworthy. Gambling in the US market could be very risky as the Department of Justice is taking some serious steps against internet poker gambling. Already, online gambling is illegal in certain states of the country. This means that players should think twice before actually registering themselves on casino websites and depositing money in their accounts.

Department of Justice in the United States has already frozen the accounts of many players. In such a scenario, gambling seems very risky for those players who cannot resist the temptation of playing poker while in the States. Since the setbacks earlier this year, the rules and regulations have been very strict and many online casinos had to shut down their operations in the country.

Many players of PokerStars Online Casino in the US have reported that their accounts are being frozen. According to the Department of Justice, all those players playing within the US Jurisdiction are violating the current rules and laws of online casino gambling and they will have to face the consequences.

The events that occurred earlier this year, have caused a major setback in the online casino market in the country. In addition to this, such actions by the Department of Justice against PokerStars members actually have a basis. In an agreement between the Department of Justice and PokerStars, point 5.11 stated that the residents of the United States and the players in various American territories are not allowed to indulge in real-money playing at online casinos.

The point also prohibits them to engage in real-money play at other gambling events. They are only allowed to withdraw or cash out their existing deposits from their account at the casino. According to the agreement, they are not allowed to make any deposits into online casino games. The rule is applicable to all the players who are residing in the US territories, irrespective of whether they are US citizens or not. Anyone trying to violate these rules or providing false location information to PokerStars to engage in online gambling, will be breeching the agreement and will have to face the consequences.

The clients from the Virtual Private Networks have been strongly affected by the crackdowns of online casinos. While they may feel safe playing within the network, their location is revealed as soon as they disconnect the system. Because of this, PokerStars Online Casino is adamant that anyone making such mistakes or caught playing after providing false information about their location will surely lose all the funds in their accounts. The best option is to abide by the law and not violate any rule or regulation while indulging in online gambling.

It is recommended to all online poker players to do some research and check all the guidelines and rules issued by the Department of Justice for the online casino market in the United States. In addition to this, they must also browse the terms and conditions page on the casino website and carefully go through the entire text before actually making a deposit.

Cincinnati’s Horseshoe Casino Wins Local Support

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Construction on Cincinnati’s proposed new casino seems to be going strong and, by the looks of things, 2013 will indeed see the launch of a new casino in this Ohio city. The casino can be seen as part of Cincinnati city leaders’ efforts to increase city revenue through the encouragement of gambling venues in the city. The proposed addition to the city landscape has come under heavy discussion by residents, and so far, the response seems largely positive.

A New Casino in Town

In February this year, Caesars Entertainment announced the construction of a new branch of their popular Horseshoe chain of casinos in Hamilton County, Cincinnati.

The new casino is a collaborative effort between Caesars, the world’s largest casino operator, and Rock Gaming, Ohio. The proposed $400 million casino is quite unique and is marketed as being the first truly urban casino. The massive 354,000-square-foot structure is currently under construction on 22 acres of what was formerly the surface parking lot known as Broadway Commons.

When finished, the Horseshoe will be home to a cavernous 100,000-square-foot gaming floor featuring an unbelievable 2,000 slot machines and 85 table games. The owners confidently expect at least six million visits per year.

Local Cincinnati authorities are hoping to see a windfall of jobs as well as significantly increased tax revenue from the project. As of now, their hopes seem to have borne fruit.

Casino Offers Thousands of New Jobs

According to project spokesperson Jennifer Kulczycki, the developers are determined to ensure that the local economy is positively affected by the project, right from the construction phase.

The Horseshoe, Cincinnati, is expected to be open for operation in spring 2013 and is expected to provide steady employment to nearly 1,700 workers on completion. The construction costs alone are expected to come to $150 million dollars and will be a source of several jobs for locals (developers promise almost 2,000 new jobs).

The project managers have also taken care to follow a highly positive inclusion policy with regard to the employment of minority communities. Of the 29 million in business contracts awarded to local businesses, a whopping 35 percent were given to companies owned by women and those belonging to minority groups. This is definitely in excess to the 20 percent voluntary goal that was agreed upon by the casino developers.

Furthermore, the corporations have taken care not to include anything in the design of the Horseshoe, Cincinnati, that may adversely affect existing local businesses. As part of this stated aim, the builders have not included accommodation facilities as part of their casino, as this would hit the already crowded Cincinnati hospitality industry in a bad way. The lack of onsite accommodation will also have the extra benefit of helping to spur foot traffic throughout downtown to the casino, which should in turn encourage visitors to patronize local retailers.

All in all, the proposed Horseshoe casino seems to be a definite boon as far as Cincinnati is concerned. While some locals do fear increased crime rates as a result of the new addition, city officials insist this will not be the case. Already, the area is seeing a marked beautification drive that will benefit both locals as well as visitors to the city.
