To get players to win prizes by making them face up to certain challenges is the latest initiative undertaken by Mansion Casino powered by Playtech.

Every player will be given an individual point target which when he achieves, he can claim his prize. This target information is to be strictly confidential and will be sent through emails. The players will need to check their mail inboxes for uncovering their respective missions. This Crack the Code promotions are expected to continue from July to August of this year.

Once the players have participated in this promo offer, they may wager on any casino game powered by Playtech for getting points. What is unique about the Crack the Code promotion is that if players can get their targets quite early, they will be allowed to unlock a greater bonus. The balance in points gets updated continuously, so players are well aware how much is remaining in order to win their targets. Winners will receive their prizes once the promotional gets over in August. There are many varieties of Playtech-powered games that players can take part in Mansion Casino.

They can win loyalty points for getting their targets. The game Gladiator, which borrows heavily from the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name, offers two bonus rounds. The Incredible Hulk has high-quality graphics, thrilling bonus rounds, and advanced audio output.

For taking part, players will need to fulfill certain criteria. There are different deposit amounts for different levels of players like Gold, Silver, and Bronze. The players have to play for at least five days and get a minimum of 250 points in order to lay claims to a prize. Those who do not satisfy these criteria cannot get a bonus.

South African Gambling News

South Africa appeared all set to legalize gambling, but somehow the steps recommended were never actually taken. Today, this has come to be deemed as being an illegal practice and is experiencing a cut down at each turn. There had been the decision to issue as many as 40 online licenses.

This would have generated higher employment figures which could have benefitted the nation’s economy as well. But those who have already been a part of this industry and those who were hoping to strike gold here have now realized that no such legalization is going to take place. Minister Rob Davies categorically specified that although many South African local casino operators had gone big online, the ministry did not feel any pressure to make online gambling legal. Under his aegis, the Department of Trade and Industry created the Gambling Review Commission which then submitted a report stating that the gambling industry, although small, is a “maturing” industry.

Online gambling today is outlawed, although land casinos, horse racing, or lotteries continue to remain. Breaking this law can lead to imprisonment for nearly ten years. The debate continues as to whether this move is indeed for protection of the land-based casino interests or whether this decision of a handful has been literally imposed on thousands who may have had reservations against such a move.
