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

The online poker industry witnesses a huge numbers of hot deals from time to time. Therefore, it is but natural that all the online casino sites will be making a beeline for newer promotional offers and special deals to beat the competition and stay ahead of its rivals. Party Poker, in keeping with this trend, recently announced that it would do away with the rake charge in its multi-table tournaments at least for some time. Therefore, all the previously charged fees will now go straight to the players’ prize pool. So, there has been no better time to engage in a game of online poker at PartyPoker.com than now. It is a completely secure environment where the payments are promptly made regardless of whether you are a small player or a high-stakes player. The poker community has justifiably greatly appreciated this move and the responses have been overwhelming.

Probability Reports High Profits

Probability, the mobile gambling group operating in the United Kingdom, revealed its financial reports that showed that very high number of players were making deposits and placing wagers during these past six months. Together with the Mexican Grupo Caliente, this group also came up with a major commercial deal to introduce racing, bingo, and casino in Latin America. The report clearly mentions that the profits were sky-high this year in spite of there being a Bank Holiday period. Although player deposits saw a high, the net gaming revenues for this particular quarter were slightly lower than before. This is because as much as 10,000 to 20,000 pounds were being won in popular slot games through the months of May and June.

King of Aztecs Launch

A subsidiary of the American International Game Technology, the Barcrest Group, launched the King of Aztecs slots, something that was already a big hit in the land-based casinos. The theme of this game predictably is set against the backdrop of the ancient Mexican empire. There are plenty of scatters and wild symbols in this newly launched slots game. This game has only added to their already expanding list of clients.

Jackpot Capital Drive

This promotion called the Jackpot Capital Drive is a challenge which they claim is not for the weak-hearted. To take part, players here must place wagers on their favorite games and get points that help them climb up the trail. This trail begins in Texas at San Angelo, travels through Mexico, and finally ends at Cheyenne in Wyoming. When a player completes this trail, he will secure a position in the finalists’ scoreboard and will get a cash prize. There are different scoreboards for different budget levels. The diamond and platinum players must get 800 points to make it to this scoreboard. The gold or silver players need to get more than 350 points.

The players can monitor their own positions here and view all other fellow players present in each station. Each Monday, as many as 150 weekend players can be selected for mystery coupons. For this, the players must have placed wagers between Friday and Sunday of the past week and made deposits greater than $50. This casino has been powered by Real-time Gaming.
