Nokia to Get New Zynga Mobile Poker App

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 2:19 am

There is a lot of news happening around Zynga these days. To start, Zynga, which is one of the most popular social gaming providers, is offering Nokia Asha Touch owners the ability to join Zynga and its social poker mobile app. Zynga is probably best known by Facebook fans of the game. The poker app is suitable for all Nokia Asha Touch devices.

It has also been reported that Zynga brought onboard Maytal Ginzburg who was senior VP at 888 in charge of new markets. This addition to Zynga is being touted as one of the first steps the company is taking toward real money gaming sometime in the future. With the hire of Ginzburg, some analyst suggest that getting into the real money gaming business is a top priority for Zynga. 888, for those who do not know, is one of the largest online poker, casino, and betting providers.

But there is more news for Zynga as well, and when all of this news is digested as a whole, it may seem that Zynga is up to some big plans in the very near future. For instance, it has been announced…

Zynga is planning to make available its ever popular poker game Draw Something for the Nokia market as well. This poker app is expected to land in Nokia app stores around the fall of this year. Draw Something is one of the most popular mobile games being played today and has many fans who simply love it. Nokia users will be happy to learn that both of these planned games will be free to download.

The move toward mobile poker gaming was not unexpected. Social gaming, and this includes poker and other games, have become extremely popular with those who use mobile devices. Because of this, many online game developers, as well as established online casinos, have begun to offer more options in terms of mobile gaming. To illustrate just how relevant this new trend is concerns Playtech, a leading casino software development company. Playtech just recently signed onto a deal that will have its company develop a variety of social games such as casino games, bingo, poker, and rummy. All of these will be developed for use on mobile devices and will be developed with real cash wagering in mind.

According to Zynga CEO Mark Pincus, Zynga is preparing itself for real money gaming and expects to have its products out to the public sometime in 2013. These real money products will launch in certain international markets, the names of which are not known at this time. Zynga Poker already has more than 30 million users (on average) each month. The new program would still allow for free, social play but would also allow those players who are able to do so legally in their home countries to play for real money. With a potential client base already in the millions, it would seem this next step forward is simple common business sense for Zynga and for Nokia as well.

Special Cancelled Withdrawal Bonus by Rushmore Casino

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

Often, when players trying their hand at online casino games win, they immediately seek withdrawal for the winning amount. But, soon after they begin to have doubts as to whether withdrawal would indeed be the right move at this point in time. After all, they have been enjoying a good run at the casinos and many would want to ride their luck for a longer while. But, cancelling withdrawals might involve calculated efforts and therefore many players do not wish to choose it.

Now Rushmore Casino has made a novel progress in this domain. They would now make withdrawal efforts worthwhile by awarding special bonuses to the players seeking withdrawals. This innovative drive has been termed the “Second Chance Chip.” This will surely prove to be advantageous for the players who wish to cash in on what we call the gut feel. Players of the Rushmore Casino who desire availing this benefit would have to get in touch with customer service without further delay. Their withdrawal requests would then be cancelled and the amount would be credited back to their playing account. One can make the request by email, live chat, or phone.

If the amount has been wagered only once, Rushmore Casino would be awarding a cent percent match bonus, providing a second chance to the player for winning his money back. This bonus would be added only when the playing balance of the player hits the zero mark. If you have registered several withdrawals with Rushmore, you end up being eligible for Second Chance Chip for each withdrawal that has been cancelled. But, this offer extended by Rushmore Casinos is subject to a few conditions and rules. Players would only be eligible for this bonus if they have processed the playing deposit through their credit card or through the gift card sold by Rushmore Casino. Besides, the reverse withdrawal must not be less than $25!

This bonus is a play bonus. You can cash out only the winnings linked to the bonus and not the bonus! Wagering requirements would have to be met if you wish to withdraw the winnings from the bonus. Cash outs can only be made when the reverse withdrawal money as well as the bonus amount has been wagered over 30 times. One-third of the value of wagering requirements would be contributed by Bonus Poker, Blackjack, Video Poker, and Texas Holdem. Wagering requirements will not be fulfilled by baccarat, craps, bingo, roulette, and so on.

For more information on the ongoing lucky games offered by the Rushmore Casino, the players would now have to take a look at the Winner’s Corner. This can be accessed with the help of the “Why Rushmore” titled tab situated on the main header. The games that have proved to be most profitable through the month of May have been categorically listed here. A whopping $30,801.5 has been won by Mary from America on the Bunko Bonanza. Charles, an Australian citizen, also won $15,497 on the European Roulette.

Win At Mummy’s Gold Online Casino

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

Among the many record wins which have taken place throughout the month of April 2012 at the Mummy’s Gold Casino, the biggest no doubt happened on April 26th. On this day, a player won a whopping $150,479 on the trio of online slots, namely, Celtic Crown, Path of the Penguin, and Supe It Up. Though Supe It Up is popular during the Formula 1 races, Celtic Crown has been traditionally popular. The Path of the Penguin is a little different from these and not commonly heard of. There was another such online slots combination which did not record very large payouts. These games were Cool Buck, Break da Bank, and Bearly Fishing. The Cool Buck has three reels and a traditional slot game. The Path of the Penguin is based on a Ninja theme, but here these martial art experts are not turtles but penguins. The first chip introduces wise master, the ninjas, and the evil one. The wild symbol is the ninja penguin and it comes with a fixed jackpot worth 6000 coins. The walrus which is an evil symbol has a payout worth 2000 coins. The scatter symbol is the penguin inside the ice cube. This symbol also activates free spins, five of which are awarded right away. Five ice cubes are presented to the player and he must pick three of these. These are smashed thereafter by the penguin and each cube gives free spins or bonus coins. Free spins cannot be reactivated. They are accumulated and must be played together. The Cool Buck has three reels and five pay lines so that wins are more frequent. The typical symbols are double and triple bars, sevens, cherries, and single bars. The wild symbol is the dollar sign and three dollars on every pay line gives a different amount. This casino belongs to The Palace Group of online casinos. Microgaming is the software provider for this brand and the casino has been licensed by the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority.

888 Poker gets a new martial arts champ as its brand ambassador

The half-French and half-Canadian martial arts expert Georges St-Pierre recently assumed the role of brand ambassador for the 888 Casino group’s poker. This deal had been initially signed for a year during which this martial arts champ will emerge as a rather vital part of the casino’s marketing strategy. The B2C Vice President Pazner feels that this move will help consolidate their brand awareness throughout the world by launching 888 casinos to the fans of this sport. Having such an international celebrity is bound to make a world of difference to the group. On his part, Georges St-Pierre reveals his excitement at being chosen the brand ambassador for 888 Casino and the new 888 Poker. He believes poker requires a great deal of talent and skill and is expected to lead a team in the forthcoming World Series of Poker (WSOP) scheduled for the summer.

Blackjack Ballroom New Games

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

Blackjack Ballroom Casino has decided to make use of some of its earlier games as part of its weekly promotions. These games are tried and tested and the idea behind introducing them again is to ensure that players enjoy playing these games, and, in turn, it would bring more traffic to the sites. In a break from this trend, the casino in the month of April, has decided to launch two brand-new games. One of these newly launched casino games is entitled the Karate Pig.

Karate Pig is a sushi chef and martial arts expert rolled into one. There are 40 pay lines in this game where the Karate Pig gets to showcase both these skills. The promotion was due to run in the casino through the second weekend of the month April, between April 7th and 8th. From the players placing wagers here, a total of ten players were selected for bonus awards worth $100. For the second promotional week, the casino has arranged for another slot entitled Nuclear 9s which had started running since the month of March. The Nuclear 9s belongs to the Power Spins Series. In this game, a Power Spins button triggers the feature called Rolling Reels. In this, winning combinations come and go while other symbols appear to fill the vacant places to produce more winning combinations. This second promotion will continue from April 7th to April 12th. Here, the top five players are going to be rewarded with bonuses everyday worth $100. The players need to wager a minimum of $20 to take part in the promotions.

For the monthly promotions, Blackjack Ballroom has introduced a change from the tradition. It has made European Blackjack the designated casino game for the monthly promotion in place of traditional slots. In this game of blackjack, players can make use of a strategy card. This game promotion is expected to be on throughout this month and all wagering players are going to be credited with twice the loyalty points. The casino which is licensed by Kahnawake Gaming Commission belongs to the Casino Rewards Group and is powered by Microgaming software.

Lucky Red Online Bonuses

Two bonuses have been recently announced at the Lucky Red Casino. These two bonuses are expected to be running side by side at the online casino. All players with good standing can take part in these twin bonuses. The first of these bonuses ran from 10th to 12th April. This contained two bonus sets. When a player claimed six coupons during this promotional period, he was gifted a $50 chip. This bonus is applicable to Slots and Keno participants. All poker and blackjack players here get the chance to win bonus coupons and when they get six from a single set of coupons, they get free chips from the promotions department at the casino. All bonus schemes come with terms and conditions. The second bonus at this online casino has been scheduled to run from April 13th to April 16th. Players can then win as much as $3000 in bonuses. As the minimum deposits required are only $50, even low rollers get a unique chance to win big here. Moreover, players can place wagers for these bonuses on any games of their choice. The casino belongs to the Club World Group and is powered by Realtime Gaming.
