Multiplayer games are a relatively new feature at InterCasino. How have they been received by players?

Multiplayer games are some of the most popular games at InterCasino. When players are able to sit at a table and watch each other play, the fun factor in the game increases. The social interaction is identical to a land-based casino. It gives new players an increased confidence level while playing at InterCasino. They can ask regular players questions about pay outs, wins, trust and all the other issues that a new player may have. It’s really hard for a player to gain confidence in your product if they do not have contact with other players.

What are the most popular games at InterCasino?

The Blackjack tables (single and multiplayer) are the most popular games we offer. However, Let It Ride Poker, Slot Machines and Video Poker Machines are also popular.

What’s the biggest jackpot you’ve ever paid out?

InterCasino paid out $50,000 to one of our Let It Ride players and then in less than one week paid out $40,000 to another Let It Ride player.

Everyone loves comps. Are you currently offering any comps or special bonuses?

We have a generous comp point program. InterCasino is constantly rewarding our 789 Players Club members with promotional drawings for trips for two. One of our current promotions is offering new players a chance to win a week in Monte Carlo, Monaco …

Changing of the Guard

game

Contrary to popular belief, there are more than just two great players — Padraig Parkinson and Donnacha O’Dea — in Ireland.

The likes of Peter Roche, boasting a win in Vienna’s EWSOP Trial and a fourth-place finish in the Paris leg of the World Poker Tour in just two European appearances in 2004, along with 2002 World Series of Poker finalist Scott Gray and 1999 WSOP winner Noel Furlong, are like Rollers and Jags on a prestige pre-owned car lot.

However, new high-performance models will eventually hit the streets, and the question is, who will fast-track their way along the poker highway in the coming years?

It’s a fact that O’Dea’s young son, Eoghan, is playing in weekly tournaments and small cash games with apparent success. Progression onto the bigger stage would seem logical, although Eoghan’s pursuit of a career as a tennis coach is taking immediate priority.

Also, 22-year-old Kevin Maloney has impressed many at both of Dublin’s cardrooms. Supporting his computer science studies through his hours at the tables, Maloney rates as a consistent winner with a big future.

However, there is a small problem … “I’m undecided about attempting to make poker my profession,” explains Maloney. “I love the game and enjoy the mental challenge. Yes, I’d also like to play in the World Series and go on the circuit, but you need a tank for that. At the moment, I’m considering taking a master’s degree once my current course is complete. That will give me another year of poker playing whilst studying, and then I’ll make a decision on the future.”

Maybe young David O’Callaghan is the big Irish star of the future. From a Poker Online Pkv playing family — his elder brother Nial and father John both play — the 21-year-old belied his odds and inexperience to finish second in the opening event of the European Poker Tour in Barcelona in September.

He could become a major-name player, but he is another who’s mixing his time at the tables with full-time study. His subject is philosophy and the scales are dipping toward a conventional …

Casino Reality Brings the Slot Online Game to Life

game

The big difference between online casinos and their land-based counterparts is the lack of a dealer; casino software controls the game when you’re playing on the Net instead of the person behind the table. New technology from Casino Reality changes that by adding a live dealer to the online game, but does it improve the experience?

Casino Reality uses proprietary technology to broadcast casino games live over the Internet via a streaming video link, from a table operated by a real croupier. Bettors place wagers via a Flash game client and cards are tracked using a multi-faceted Java system. A chat feature and video are embedded in the browser window, and everything occurs in real-time. It’s like you’re right there at the games table. Sort of.

The Casino Reality technology doesn’t require a download and players are able to connect to a live broadband feed using a number of different options, although high-speed cable or ADSL will be the most reliable. Both PC and Mac platforms are supported, and Flash-based games mean most gamblers should be able to just sign up and play.

Caroline Steele, Marketing Manager at Casino Reality, believes the company’s product stands out from other online gambling software packages because of “the combination of convenience, user experience and the fact that all our games are based on luck not [the] random number generators” other Net casinos use. She also notes that, “each visit and game gives bettors a different and more personal experience,” in part because of chat features that allow players to talk to the dealer and other gamblers at the table.

Graphics for the Casino Reality product are as good or better than average, but the product falls a little flat when you look at the range of games. There’s a choice of three, to be precise, and while that may be fine if you’re fanatical about roulette, baccarat, or sic bo, it will be a problem if you’re looking for something else. Casino Reality is working on Blackjack at the moment and plans to add more games in the future.

DAVE MACKAY DIES, IFAB HONOURS PK INVENTOR AND PARMA ON THEIR LAST LEGS

* Tottenham legend Dave MacKay has died aged 80. The Scottish midfielder epitomised the midfield enforcer in British football in the 1960s, forming a flowering partnership with Spurs’ elegant skipper Danny Blanchflower.

MacKay was part of their legendary 1961 double-winning side and went on to captain the club. He also played for Hearts, Derby and Swindon and won 22 caps for Scotland and was voted joint footballer of the year in 1969 with Tony Book.

George Best called him “the hardest man I have played against and certainly the bravest,” and his role in helping Brian Clough lift Derby to the first division in 1969 was commemorated in the film The Damned United, where he was played by Brian McCardie.

MacKay went on to manage Derby, where he won the league, Nottingham Forest, Walsall, Doncaster Birmingham and several clubs in the Middle East.

* Nice to see FIFA’s International Board pledging to restore the grave of William McCrum, the man who invented the penalty kick in 1890 but died alone, alcoholic and broke in 1932.

McCrum was a barrister from Armagh and was involved in Northern Ireland’s linen trade as well as the Belfast-based Irish Football Association. His Situs Online Judi Terbaik 2021 suggestion to penalise cynical attempts to stop goals initially drew criticism as it was perceived to go against Victorian values of fair play!

But in 1891 it was adopted as Rule 13 in the laws of the game. Penalty shoot-outs are a Spanish invention by Raphael Ballester in 1962, adopted by UEFA in 1971 and FIFA in 1982.

McCrum’s home is a museum and he is buried in the cemetery of St Mark’s Church, Armagh, Northern Ireland.

* Britain’s Conservative Party were rumoured to be seeking Sol Campbell or Frank Lampard’s signature as prospective members of parliament this week. Lampard was quick to deny any possibility though Campbell has been vocal on issues affecting high-earners like himself.

The bets are off at these Togel Singapore bookie centres

game

Three counting centres, believed to belong to an illegal bookmaking syndicate, were raided by city police over the weekend.

During the raids, police arrested 10 men and two Thai women to facilitate investigations into the syndicate which was allegedly raking in about RM2 million in bets on horse racing and English Premier League soccer matches.

On Saturday, five of the men and the Thai women were caught collecting bets when police raided a unit on the 10th floor of the Pangsapuri City in Cheras at 12.30pm.

SEIZED: City CID chief Abdul Aziz Bulat (left) shows off gambling chips seized during one of the three raids over the weekend

City CID chief Senior Assistant Commissioner II Abdul Aziz Bulat told reporters that police seized 90 betting slips for horse-racing and football matches, a laptop, 12 cell phones, a fixed phone, 12 post-dated cheques and a pager.

Initial investigations showed the Togel Singapore counting centre was handling up to RM800,000 worth of bets since it began operations two months ago.

From information provided by the suspects, police raided another unit on the sixth floor of the same apartment and arrested a 44-year-old man.

Police also seized 48 decks of cards, several card dispensers and casino chips with a face value of more than RM8 million in the second unit.

Aziz said investigations showed the man had brought in the chips from Thailand recently.

“We believe the man was planning to start a mini-casino,” he said.

Also seized were 75 betting slips, a laptop and several fax machines.

Aziz said a follow-up operation was conducted early Sunday at the Bukit Gembira condominium where two more men, aged 39 and 54 were arrested. Police also seized 28 betting slips and several lap-tops from the unit.

Meanwhile, police detained eight Indonesians and a Malaysian on Saturday on suspicion of dadah trafficking.

The suspects had stayed opposite the apartment which was used as a counting centre on the sixth floor of the Pangsapuri City.

Aziz said one of the suspects had acted suspiciously …

World Soccer News for week of 2/19 Ozren Podnar reports

Plague of injuries torments Barcelona

An unprecedented wave of injuries and suspensions led to Barcelona’s first defeat in the Spanish League and the first away defeat in all competitions this season. Four defensive players were injured and two suspended within a couple of days of the big match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at Vicente Calderon forcing Josep Guardiola to play winger Jeffren Suarez as the right full back.

Without Alves, Abidal, Toure and Chigrinski due to muscular injuries plus the red-carded Pique and Marquez, Barcelona lost 2-1, allowing Real Togel Hongkong Madrid to close the gap at the top to two points with 16 matches to go.

Not only did Barcelona lose the points but also two more players, as Keita and Xavi succumbed to – you’ve guessed – muscular injuries! The events led to an emergency meeting of Barcelona’s medical staff in hope of ascertaining the causes of the players’ muscles’ fragility and preventing future casualties.

Buffon under fire for blaspheming

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has upset the religious part of the Italian public for his alleged swearing during the Juventus vs Genoa game. The sports programs have employed lip readers in order to clarify if Buffon took God’s name in vain.

The public interest is due to the fact that in a couple of weeks swearing in soccer will become an offence punishable by a red card if the referee hears it, or with a ban if the foul language is captured on film.

The rule, approved by the FA, has not yet entered into force, but Buffon’s apparent blaspheming against God has turned into an experiment for the media. The question on everybody’s mind is how the soccer authorities will prove what exactly a player shouted just based on his lip movement or facial expression.

Buffon admitted that punishing somebody who offends God or the faithful may be the right thing to do, but failed to clarify what he himself said on the occasion and …

Seongnam Set Sights On Former Data HK Glories

game

It wouldn’t be the K-League without a strong Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma. The Yellows have won seven league titles and possess the biggest trophy cabinet in the southern half of the peninsula. It was 2006 however when the golden trophy last resided just south of Seoul. Since then, Pohang, Suwon and, most recently, Jeonbuk have claimed the mantle.

The second half of 2008 and the first half of 2009 was a tough time for the club’s fans. Kim Hak-bom had led Seongnam playing attractive and successful football but the gruff tactician’s powers seemed to fade after four years at the helm. At the end of 2008, the former powerhouse looked a little slow and predictable and it was no surprise when Kim was out of the door.

The identity of the new man was something of a surprise. Shin Tae-yong may have been called ‘Mr Seongnam’ due to the fact that he spent 12 Data HK seasons with the club as a player but when he was appointed as coach, he had little experience to suggest that he could lead the club back to the summit. As his playing career started to come to an end, Shin headed to Australia and the new A-League. The midfielder barely got a chance to show Queensland Roar fans what he was made of before injury intervened. Shin stayed on with the Brisbane-based club as an assistant coach.

Still, few expected the 39 year-old to be announced as Seongnam coach for the 2009 season. It didn’t start well. Australian football is regarded as one where power is more prized than technique. Shin seemed to confirm that stereotype by introducing a more direct style to a Seongnam team that had long been known for a fluid passing game. In came giant Montenegrin marksman Dzenan Radoncic – a striker not known for his subtlety – and from Australia came a defender that was just as big, Sasa Ognenovski.

The first half few months were disappointing. The team looked disjointed and toothless. Over time though, results and performances started to improve and …

Estudiantes v Bandarq Online Pohang

game

At long last the FIFA Club World Cup tournament begins. 3,500 fans from Argentina have arrived and 4,000 plain clothed police boost the crowd to 22,000 for the first Semi Final.

After a promising opening when Estudiantes dominated possession the game had become lifeless, until in first half injury time a free kick is pumped into the box, the Estudiantes forward clearly (to me) was in an offside position and tries his best to get a touch on the ball. The ball goes in the net and a goal is given.

The Pohang Steelers coach stated that he did not see a referee on the pitch. I saw one. But he didn’t appear to be watching the game. Worse was to follow as three sendings off followed. All of which appeared harsh. The Korean side played with determination for the final 13 minutes with just 8 men and tried to make a game of it even with the tournament’s leading scorer, Denilson in goal. So 2-1 Estudiantes and one half of the FIFA jigsaw is complete. Remember FIFA prefers South America v Europe in these competitions.

Wednesday. Barcelona are in town and suddenly everyone is interested in the football. There was a constant stream of helicopters overhead in the morning as Bandarq Online dignitaries arrived. There was no doubting who the U.A.E locals were supporting as during the 5th place place off game the video screen panned to the Barcelona players in the stand. Each time a loud cheer went up.

The stadium was silenced early on as Atlante took the lead. Both teams were putting together passing moves creating intricate patterns the likes of which I hadn’t seen since that mornings visit to the Sheikh Zayed mosque. Barcelona scored and the locals were clearly relieved. Game on.

Messi was given superstar status before he even entered the field of play as the fans chanted for him to enter the fray. Within a minute he had delivered 2-1 Barcelona. From then it it was easy for Barcelona. After the match people were now …

Man Togel Utd v Chelsea

Andre Villas-Boas’ side have failed to impress in the league so far this season, although they have taken ten points from their first four matches, and are 11/1 to beat the league leaders 1-0 on Sunday. Ferguson said: “They will be there at the end of the season, there is no doubt about that. At the moment, of course, the two Manchester teams are enjoying the publicity but in the background lurks Chelsea. They don’t need the publicity. They will be enjoying being out of the profile at the moment.”

Danish keeper Anders Lindegaard is Togel determined to continue to keep the pressure on Manchester United’s currently recognised No.1, David de Gea. Despite the Dane’s impressive display against Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists De Gea will be back for Sunday’s all-important Premier League clash against Chelsea. United are 6/1 with Bet 365 to win 1-0 at Old Trafford and customers can get a free In-Play bet for the game this weekend. However, the Spaniard’s shaky start to his United career, coupled with Lindegaard’s emergence, could provide Ferguson with an interesting dilemma. Lindegaard says: “I learned a lot from Edwin van der Sar and I have confidence in my own ability. I came to Manchester United for the challenge to be the first-choice goalkeeper.”

Nagoya Grampus disappoint in Toyota Data Hk Stadium blockbuster

game

Following their uninspiring performance in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle Jets in the AFC Champions League in midweek, Nagoya Grampus rounded out a disappointing week by going down 1-0 to Urawa Reds in front of 32,435 fans at Toyota Stadium.

17-year-old midfielder Genki Haraguchi was the hero for the Reds – coming off the bench to replace the injured Tatsuya Tanaka after just 22 minutes, before blasting home his first ever top flight goal two minutes before the break.

Volker Finke’s decision to start 18-year-old midfielder Naoki Yamada and bring fellow teen Haraguchi off the bench was vindicated with a mature performance from both, with Urawa’s acclaimed youth set-up once again churning out Data Hk potential first team stars.

Defeat capped a disappointing week for Nagoya Grampus, who started it by going down to Kawasaki Frontale – as two of their direct J. League rivals suggested that last season’s third-placed finish may have been a flash-in-the-pan for Dragan Stojkovic’s team.

Elsewhere on Sunday, FC Tokyo went down 2-1 to Kashima Antlers in front of 32,913 fans at Ajinomoto Stadium, with Marquinhos and 18-year-old Yuya Osako both scoring before the quarter hour mark in this contest. Shingo Akamine pulled a goal back before half-time, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the capital club from slumping to another disappointing defeat.

A clearly jet-lagged Kawasaki Frontale went down 1-0 to Shimizu S-Pulse in front of 17,256 fans at Nihondaira, while at Omiya Park a capacity crowd of 14,070 saw hosts Omiya Ardija beat Gamba Osaka 3-2 – with Omiya now the only unbeaten team in the league.

The pick of the Saturday fixtures saw Yokohama F. Marinos record their first win of the season as they thrashed a lacklustre Vissel Kobe 5-0 in front of a full house of 12,912 at a sun-drenched Mitsuzawa Stadium.

Kazuma Watanabe and Koji Yamase both scored doubles for the Kanagawa giants, while Kenta Kano added a late fifth as Marinos ran riot over a desperately disappointing Kobe side.
