If you have always enjoyed the excitement of Marvel comics, then these are the games for you. Dating as far back as 1939, Marvel comics were a revolution, bringing the idea of the super hero to life through animation. Marvel then blossomed and developed from comic books to films, theme parks and video games. It is therefore no surprise that all your favourite action heroes now feature as the stars of popular online slots. Games such as Spider Man, Fantastic Four and Thor are all available to play on top gaming sites, such as Party Casino. The first thing that will strike you about these games is the high quality level of animation, courtesy of Playtech. The vivid colours and top notch graphics really do re-create the world of the comic book and add significantly to the enjoyment of each game. Talking of which, you can take your pick from some of the best Marvel characters out there. The Amazing Spiderman for example, is a 5 reel, 25 payline slot and offers a range of features including the Spiderweb. The Fantastic Four also features the sights and sounds of the comic and film. Look out for five wild symbols which can help you pocket a big prize. Then there’s your favourite green giant, The Incredible Hulk. The special feature gives you the chance to double your prize money. On all Marvel slots, including those available at Party Casino, there are three jackpots available at different levels – Hero Jackpot, Superhero Jackpot and Marvel Hero Jackpot. All three are progressive jackpots and so even when you don’t win the big prize a portion of your stake is added to the pot for next time. With jackpots at three levels, it means that you have the chance of a massive win regardless of the level at which you play.

Online Gambling in Hungary absorbed a severe blow with the passing of a Gambling Regulation law in the Hungarian Parliament. The Law, which was initiated by Hungary's Economy Minister Mihaly Varga, was passed by a majority vote of 235 to 69. This law sets some very expansive fees for Gambling operators. Expansive Fees, Tight Auditing, Severe Penalties The new Hungarian Gambling act requires gambling operators to pay license fees to the state the price of 100M Hungarian Forint (€338,891) for each game they want to offer; the license then remains valid for 5 years. Online Gambling Operators will also be required to pay 20% tax after taking their revenues, and will have to provide data about the players in their businesses, for informing the Hungarian Tax Authorities – this is in order to make sure no people aged under the age of 18 are involved. All the more, Gambling Operators will have to pay an additional 2.5% tax for the tight auditing the Hungarian Tax Authorities will conduct in the matter – with the submission of quarterly reports. Gambling Operators which will not purchase licenses from the state will be blacklisted and their IP addresses will be banned by Hungarian Internet Service Providers. A Concussion to Online Gambling The Hungarian Government estimated that the revenue expected from the new regulations will amount to around 10 Billion HUF (33.88 million €). Only time will tell how big of an impact this Hungarian law will have on Online Gambling in Europe as a whole.

For the most part, the fun of online casinos is dictated by the games on offer and the possibility of cashing in on an enticing promotion. However, it certainly helps when you receive top class treatment as you play, allowing you to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. Of course, almost every online casino boasts a 24/7 customer care service. However, for many this simply means that there is someone on the end of the phone or you can send an e-mail to a generic address. What Casino King has done brilliantly is to streamline their e-mail support in order to guarantee a more effective response. So, instead of just a single e-mail address, Casino King offers four different addresses, each one specifically created to deal with particular questions and queries. As a result, you can expect a remarkably efficient response. However, you will also find what is possibly the most convenient way to communicate with customer services - Using the chat feature, you can be in touch directly with a representative and chat in real time to solve your problem. However, at Casino King, there is another entire level of service on offer thanks to the VIP club. At Casino King, loyalty really is rewarded. Unlike some online casinos, this VIP club is extremely accessible as it is divided into three loyalty levels. At any of these levels, you will receive increased deposit and table limits, automatic bonuses and access to special promotions. Of course, in terms of customer service, there is a dedicated representative to take care of you. Depending on which level of VIP care you qualify for, you will be able to cash in your comp points for prizes. For the top Black Diamond level, you can enjoy a 75/1 ratio.

Plans are underway for the Irish National Lottery to revamp its website, with new owner Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI) promising to develop a “world-leading interactive web platform.” That statement signifies that PLI intends to implement a highly functional online lottery platform to streamline the entire process for Irish consumers. New Owner Associated with Camelot As for track record, PLI is owned by an organisation that also owns the Camelot Group, which is the operator responsible for running the National Lottery in the UK. The association with Camelot will give PLI access to expertise from proven online lottery experts. This is further underlined by the fact that Camelot has acted in a consultancy capacity for lotteries situated in Canada, California, and New York. UK Online Sales Worth €1.5b Online sales of lottery tickets in the UK are estimated to be worth close to €1.5 billion, highlighting the incredible potential of online lottery sales. In spite of the fresh potential for the Irish National Lottery, however, a representative association of Irish retail outlets is concerned that an online platform would diminish the fortunes of retailers. Potential Consumer Benefits RGData voiced a specific concern that retail sales could be cannibalised by a new online platform. In contrast, ILP is keen to highlight the benefits to Irish consumers. Most notably, ILP stated that higher sales driven by an online contribution would generate larger jackpots for winning players. An added benefit is the convenience of scheduling ticket purchases online. During the average week, approximately 55,000 Irish players manage to win prize money.
At its peak, 3 million people would play Spot the Ball each week, trying to estimate the exact centre of a football from a picture of a game in progress. With a £250,000 jackpot prize for anyone placing an 'X' in the correct place, it was one of the major competitions across the UK, but since the advent of the National Lottery player numbers have dropped sharply to around 14,000 a week. Now, the competition is embroiled in controversy, as it has been revealed that the main prize hasn't been claimed for over ten years. How the Story Broke The issue came to light when a punter who has wagered £2.50 every week for 11 years confronted the organisers of the draw with the fact that he has spent an estimated £11,300 over the years, winning a single £10 prize and a couple of £2 prizes. Pete Cook, a retired newspaper editor and commercial manager for Tamworth FC was getting increasingly exasperated with his lack of success and decided to ask the organisers when the £250,000 prize was last claimed. ''I was absolutely gobsmacked to find out it was in 2004'' Mr Cook said, adding that ''Someone must be coining it in if there's been no big payout for all this time.'' Response From the Organisers Spot the Ball organisers, Sportech, which is now owner of the Littlewoods group, have responded by saying that the lack of winners is simply a reflection of the drop in player numbers and that in the last 10 years over £16 million has been paid out to players who have been closest to the centre of the ball. The company is also fighting a battle with the Inland Revenue, arguing that because Spot the Ball is a game of chance, not skill, it should be exempt from paying VAT.
