The first quarterly assessment of the hundreds of online casinos that are put through their paces by the team at CasinoLabRat.com is now well underway.
CasinoLabRat.com is an alliance of industry professionals who systematically and objectively evaluate online casinos, online slots venues and card rooms (the good, the bad & the ugly high risk ones). Online Poker is specifically assessed by specialists from sister site, PokerLabRat.com.
Casinos are assessed against formal test critera with reviews and ratings published. They make recommendations so you don’t have to lose your shirt to dodgy operators or waste your time playing endless mediocre Blackjack, Baccarat, slot machines and other casino games.
CasinoLabRat.com fails or rejects a staggering 80-85% of all sites they test and based on legal advice have elected not to publish negative reports or a “blacklist” of the really fraudulent casinos they encounter.
All casinos featured on this strangely stylish web site have passed the testing and members of the test team continue to play at each casino as long as it’s review is posted on their web site.
The latest reviews will be updated for March 2010 shortly but 2 new casinos that have really caught the attention of the CasinoLabRat.com test team are will be reviewed joined the recommended list are Manhattan Slots and Dafa888 Casino.

A new festive online slots game was launched this week by the team at Microgaming. It’s called Scrooge, and yes, as you may have guessed it’s full of “bah humbug” theming and Christmas Carol graphics.
The ghosts of Christmas past, present and future and Ebenezer Scrooge join you as you play this slot. It should come with a warning though as you really do have to play at least until your Xmas Countdown Calendar reaches the 25th of December and you automatically earn the number of Free Spins on the top counter that have accrued as you’ve payed. All wins during Free Spins are doubled and the fun Xmas Dinner Bonus Game can be triggered within Free Spins feature so it can be a fairly big pay out. Addictiveness rating 8/10!
In the bonus round (triggered by 3, 4, or 5 Door Knockers) you are presented with 5 festive dishes, each with a Multiplier ranging from 6x Multiplier to 20x Multiplier. Allocate a dish to each Christmas Carol Diner and watch them cheer up - and pay up!
While not my favourite Christmas slot, Scrooge is well worth a look even if it’s just to suss out how the new game features work!
Play new Scrooge slot for free or for real at Spin Palace Casino or Ladbrokes Casino. (It’s a download game, so no instant play) - sorry, no American players due to US legislation.
PS: My all time favourite Christmas videoslot is Microgaming’s Hohoho. It takes a bit of beating as it’s cheerful Jingle Bells soundtrack and heaps and heaps of free spins always seem to top up my casino balance and my Christmas cheer.

Looking for some online fun this halloween? Try your luck on the following Microgaming videoslots recommended to up the scare stakes.
Halloweenies - pick a pumpkin bonus game & free spins - great images of surprisingly delicious looking assorted candies and ghouls. Excellent for that Halloween hit!
Frankencash - with electrifying bonus feature (kinda sadistic really!) Very cool white rat.
Boogie Monsters - the funkiest ghouls on the net! Personally, I love the eyeball cocktail.
Jonny Specter - ghost busting bonus, a floating ghost wild… fun!
Trick or Treat - a 3 reel classic slot, very pumpkiny
>> Visit Spin Palace Casino (UK’s most popular online casino that’s not part of a sportsbook)
>> Visit Blackjack Ballroom (a full suite of Microgaming slots and casino games, don’t be put off by the name!)
You can play all of these games for free by registering as a guest at either of these 2 top rating casinos above (or join up and play for real money).
If none of these take your fancy for a quick scare we suggest you check out Bet365 Casino powered by Playtech for Haunted House - a 3 reel Halloween delight! Witches and vampires abound… or Golbin’s Cave for some less ghoulish but certainly more golden Halloween gaming fun.
(Sorry, no USA based players can join in the above Halloween entertainment due to your government’s stance on online gambling)

We have it on good authority that the next round of new casino videoslots releases at Microgaming Casinos (like Spin Palace Casino or Blackjack Ballroom) are going to be even better than usual.
As you may be aware, Microgaming develop and release 3-7 new casino games each month adding to the suite of well over 350 that most online casinos powered by Microgaming have on offer.
I personally can’t wait to check these ones out as I love to fish and the excitement of getting a bite and a slot strike somehow gels for me.
Alaskan Fishing
This 5 reel’er has an amazing 243 ways in which you can win, so this will be one of the most action packed slots online. As you play the graphics are sharp, and the theme is fun. Bonuses involve going fly fishing for coins by picking the right spots to cast, then just simply reel in those coins, or free spin yourself to the game’s jackpot of over 110,000 coins.
Do we think Alaskan Fishing will beat our all-time favourite fishing slot, Reel Strike? Possibly… but it will need to be really amazing. Bearly Fishing slot tried and failed…
Dance of the Masai
Another beautifully designed slot from Microgaming. Vibrant colours of the the Serengeti across 5 reels and 25 paylines. This slot can power players to huge wins through free spins that could be worth as much as 120,000 coins. Plus look out for its jumping Masai wild symbols on reel 2 and 4, where the entire reels go wild! (Gotta have those jumping Masai - they’re everywhere these days - have you seen that crazy carpet advertisement?)
Kings of Cash
Wait - this is a slot, not a card game! The 4 suited Kings from a deck of cards invite you to their cash through generous symbols and amazing bonuses. It’s a bit different from most slots in that this one offers you two jackpot-style winnings through two scatter symbol triggering bonus rounds. Free spins can lead to wins of 50,000 coins and the off -screen card game can mean tasty wins of 75,000 coins. Excellent. We like a regal way to win cash.
So, something to look forward to early November? You can play all of these new casino games for free or for real money (USD/EUR/GBP) at Spin Palace Casino or Blackjack Ballroom (sorry, no US-based players due to your government’s anti-gambling stance, or rather it’s inability thus far to work out a suitable tax regimen and such make play legal for it’s citizens…)

Progressive jackpots at online casinos across the net seem to be being hit left right and centre at present. There have been some amazing wins, unfortunately none of them mine… but hey, I love to read about the big wins, as it keeps me thinking that perhaps I’ll be next.
Here’s some great examples of why I keep playing progressive slots:
Microgaming has just reported a win of $1 242 562 on a 25 cent bet on Mega Moolah by Polish player Radoslaw M. The excited Pole said that when the big win flashed up on his computer screen he was too scared to touch the hardware! (I would be too! Can you relate to that?) He’ll be flown to London where to be presented with the big cheque.
The Megamoolah slot, which features at online casinos such as Ladbrokes Casino and Spin Palace Casino, is a multi-level progressive that pays out in 4 tiers. The second highest level, Mega Moolah Major, was hit first and ended up paying out $47,081. Then, a few hours later, Radoslaw hit the highest level on the progressive to receive over $1.2 million in winnings.
Statistics show that over the past year, the Mega Moolah progressive has hit, on average, once every four days, with the average payout sitting at $33,000. There are now a range of themed slots all feeding the MegaMoolah jackpot (the original with a african animal/witch doctor theme, Five Reel Drive for car enthusiasts, Mega Moolah Summertime (for a day at the beach) and the latest release MegaMoolah Isis (ancient Egyptian theme). Microgaming are apparently planning to add another MegaMoolah slot in the near future… so watch this space.
Not only, but also: At RTG-powered ClubUSA Casino an American player won a stunning $1 427 499 jackpot on Aztec Riches slot. Vegas Technologies-powered Pay Dirt progressive hit a jackpot worth a reported $435 271, and another player scored the jackpot at Cryptologic Casinos of $421 074.
See if your luck is with you - play MegaMoolah progressive today at Ladbrokes Casino or Spin Palace Casino (sorry, no USA residents can join Microgaming-powered casinos due to your government’s stance on anti gambling)

However unlikely it may sound for an online gambling site to deliver more than their hype, Victor Chandler has exceeded our expectations. Really! We knew the team at VC were tarting up their tired old Chartwell-based online casino, but having finally got around to checking out the makeover, we were astounded!
The new VC Casino, powered by Net Entertainment, is really quite jazzy. Yes, it’s still not a Microgaming or Playtech casino with hundreds of games to choose from (and all those amazingly animated slot machines…) but, for table and card game players who just want instant gaming action with a touch of style, VCCasino is actually now hard to beat!
As Victor Chandler has a reputation that spans more than sixty years in the gambling industry you can take it as a given that they have all their back office processes and the support aspects 100%.
My pick of the card games is Txs Holdem poker - great to practice those opening hand decisions… and you can play for free or for real. There’s a good Bacarrat and even the range of Blackjack games give you some excellent wagering options, especially if you’re a system bettor.
My pick of the new VC Casino slots was probably Secrets of Horus, but the The Super Eighties and The Groovy 60s slots are fun too, and I recommend them if you’re a true slots junkie.
Video Poker at Victor Chandler’s new Casino is also surprisingly good. My favourite was All American (pictured). It might be your too!
You can play all games for free (no registration required) or for real money (becoming a member at VCCasino is free and easy with a whole host of secure deposit options available).
Yes, there’s a £100 joining bonus if you’ve not got a VC account, but the reality is - you’re better just to join up and play… casino bonuses (and not just VC’s) are generally for the mathematically challenged (ie. stupid) and simply more hassle than they’re worth.

4/5 for playability… quality Microgaming game engine with multiple ways to win
2/5 for fun factor - This slot was Ok, perhaps a bit naf. Cartoon Cat lovers should certanily check this one out!

4/5 for playability… easy, quick, not buggy…lots of win action and gameshow hype. Cool Dice Rolls!
5/5 for fun factor - yes I really like this slot and come away after a hour’s play with a credible EUR250 profit!

The Second Screen Bonus Game presents you with a choice of 3 Treasure Bearers, each offering a Mystery Gift. Select the correct Gift and you could win 40 Free Spins with a 5x Multiplier!

We kid you not - that’s what they’ve called this new casino slot - Raindow Riches Win Big Shindig™!
Apparently pots of gold and the luck of the Irish await you when you play this brand spanking new 5–Reel, 10–line slot game at Paddy Power Casino. Fingers crossed!
Admitted you can win up to 25,000 credits by getting 5 Logo symbols on all lines at max bet, or by receiving a gold pot in the Pots of Luck Bonus. You can even gamble your wins at the odds you choose, up to 8x.
We’ve played it hard today, and it does have a certain Leprechaun charm to it. 3 “hats” (what are those floppy green hats warn by lucky little Leprechauns?), anyway, 3 hats anywhere on the reels award the Pick Me bonus with a chance of winning the Pots of Luck Bonus. In the second tier of bonus gold, silver & bronze pots spin around the screen. When they stop the arrow points to one pot and you win the value of that pot multiplied by your initial bet per line. Yes - you can win up to 25,000 credits on one spin!
For this game, Paddy Power Casino advises that the long term expected pay-back is 96.46%.
Slots rating:
3/5 for graphics (fairly static, but at least showers of gold coins are animated)
4/5 for playability… easy, quick, not buggy…lots of win action.
4/5 for fun factor - yes I liked this slot.
What else can I play at this casino?
Transformers & Dungeons and Dragons slots are well worth a look.
Can I play for free?
Yep, no download, no registration free play if you like (It’s just not the same though if you do score the 25,000 payout though 
)
PaddyPowerCasino is really aimed at UK and Ireland players, with only Euros and Pounds accepted currency. No US players or Aussies can join.

Are you “so over” the February casino games releases? I am (except for Bet365’s Gladiator slot machine…)
Here’s a quick summary of the next casino games releases from Microgaming - you can look forward to playing these new games in early March at good Microgaming Casinos all over the Internet!
Beach babes video slot: bikini-clad redheads, blondes, brunettes… and beachballs?
Don’t look for the usual bonus round that Microgaming Video Slots offer almost as stanbdard in this game; in a startling departure from conventional game design, and apparently in response to player demand, the action here is all about Free Spins…and spins-within-spins, all accompanied by a significant Multiplier.
Fighting Fish Video Slot: Boxing bass, sparring snapper?
We’re not joking, this 5 reel, 30 pay-line slot game features Red and Blue piscatorial contenders for the Deep Sea Championship belt and their crustacean support teams… (what are the Microgaming developers having with their cereal?) Hopefully something to look forward to, it sounds a bit like the ultra-popular fishy cops and robbers themed Dolphin Tale slot.
Kings and Queens Video Slot: Classic casino icons
As you’d expect with a royal theme, this slot is apparently a very sumptuously illustrated game that has 8 x multipliers and a colour-and-suit choice gamble feature that can quadruple your win up to a regal £10,000.
The Rat Pack Video Slot: Music and meyhem
The marketing crew at Ladbrokes Casino assure us we’ll enjoy a “Musical extravaganza when playing The Rat Pack Video Slot”. OK. It’s a new 30 pay line video slot in which 3, 4 or 5 scatters will trigger Free Spins with a special ‘Nudge’ Feature incorporated, where only scatter wins are awarded. Reels with scatters are Held for one Spin, the scatter is then nudged down a position and the reel is re-spun. Sounds fun…
Triple pocket hold’em poker: poker lovers delight?
This one sounds a winner despite having not played it yet! You get to play two dealers and go after a 40 to 1 jackpot - so you’ve the chance to win up to 40 times your bet with each hand. Looking forward to it.
So, these games will be launching early March at good Microgaming Casinos all over the Internet! Get your Microgaming-powered Casino account ready now - so check out:
>>Ladbrokes Casino (very safe and especially popular with UK and European players)
>>Canbet Casino (Australian owned and catering for Asian players with lots of currency options and payment methods)
>>Blackjack Ballroom Casino (a great all-round Microgaming Casino offering a full suite of all the latest sliots and casino game releases)
