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.

Slots rating:
2/5 for graphics (I like cats, but this is not one of Microgaming’s more stylish slots)
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!
Scoop the Cash Slot – a game show-styled five reel with lots of action. A Safe is the first Scatter and triggers the Free Spins with Multiplier Feature when 3 or more appear anywhere on the reels – all wins are instantly doubled and the feature can be re-triggered. The second Scatter is a Dice Symbol. Should this symbol appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 the lucrative Scoop the Cash Bonus Game is activated presenting you 3 ways to win up to 100x your bet.

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)

If you’ve an avid online slots player and have not visited Bet365 Casino for a while I’d suggest you get there ASAP.
The crew at Bet365 have recently extended their good, but slighly “played that” set of Playtech-powered casino games with some of the most stylish new slot machines on the net. In my view these new games really do give the award winning Microgaming Casino games a real run for their money. Bet365 Casino’s new Novel slots feature some amazing graphics and game themes.
I especially like Gladiator from the latest slots selection. The graphics are great – kinda animated photo-realistic images from the Gladiator movie. You’ll see all your favourite actors (and some not so great too)… Joaquin Phoenix as Commodus, Connie Nielsen as Lucilla, Oliver Reed as Proximo and Derek Jacobi as Gracchus, etc.
There’s a fun Coliseum bonus and also a Gladiator bonus offering a range of ways to win extra prizes.
Next up, Great Blue slot is a tad fishy for my taste, but the animated aquatic beastie icons are quite cool and the game plays fast and is fun.
Diamond Valley Pro was a bit of a let down for me as I was expecting a golfing slot for some reason. It is of course a re-vamp of the popular slots game release Diamond Valley, and is about wild west diamond mining.
A very cool feature of this game is that you can win up to 20 free spins with a x10 multiplier and more free spins can be won during free spins infinitely. The bonus game lets you choose a character, and then you get to select the prize offered in either the left or right hands of the Indian, the hussie (probably not Diamond Lil) or the rough outback guy…
I suggest you check them out as you can play for free or for real money at Bet365 Casino.

It’s a dead heat!
Not one, but two winners have come out of the annual CasinoLabRat.com “Best Christmas Casino Slot” survey this year. Over 200 slots fans voted on their favourite Christmas themed slots game (think snowmen, a certain portly gent, Christmas puds and candy canes or just lots of bells and red nosed reindeer) – and two slot machines came out on top.
When all the votes were in and counted, (we even included votes for feasting, shopping sprees and summer fun at the beach themed games as it takes all sorts!) most players, regardless of which hemisphere they were in, agreed that Microgaming had once again excelled themselves and provided the ultimate in Christmas slots fare.
Wanna know which ones they are?
New Deck the Halls (released in early December 2008) and an old favourite with plenty of free spins: Ho ho ho.
We recommend you check out these winning Christmas slots games at the following Microgaming Powered casinos:
Blackjack Ballroom
Spin Palace Casino
Ladbrokes Casino
(They’ve actually also got quite a few more popular Christmassy games including Jingle Bells, Gift Rap and Santa Paws).
For casino gamers who are US based, unfortunately finding quality Christmas-themed slots games gets a bit tricky… (if you’ve already got an account at popular Blackjack Ballroom Casino you can actually safely carry on playing the great Microgaming slots listed above…but if you haven’t, unfortunately these guys can accept no further registrations from Americans at this time).
I must admit my fav game at American player-friendly Bodog Casino is their new NFL Playoffs Blackjack…perhaps not a “Christmas theme” (or even a slot), but certainly timely! Check it out at BodogLife.com Casino where you can play for free without download or registration (or of course get stuck in and play for real money). They do have one Christmassy slot: Frozen Assets (snowmen and penguins) but if you’re not into 3-reel classic slots I’d stick with the blackjack.
The other two Casinos we know are popular with US-based players are Bookmaker.com’s Casino and JustBet Casino Club – but unfortunately they offer no specific Christmas slot machines to play
Wishing you a great Christmas and a prosperous 2009 from the team at Casino LabRat.com!

Many of you will have heard of the new personalizable slot machine out this week at most good casinos powered by Microgaming software…it lets you “Express your individuality with your own images and audio”.
It’s called MY SLOT and it’s a 5-reel, 9 Payline video slot. And you really do get to customise the images, colours and music so it is a totally individual slot game – just for you! But, no, it has no bonus games… and no, it’s not even got particularly high payouts when you win – but hey – I do personally recommend you have a go. Build your own slot game as it really is easy and a lot of fun…
What slot theme would you like to play today? HHHmmm…
Upload photos of all those annoying people that tell you slots are for losers (as they throw away their money at the Blackjack table or on the horses).
Make your cat feel great with a slot compiling all the best images you have of her (so your game coordinates when she sits across your keyboard as you play).
Support a footy team? Upload some images to create your new slot game.
Got some funny, cute or just plain embarrassing pix of the famliy? Upload them and play the family slot.
For those of you just not that creative or lacking in the time to build a slot yourself, you can always pick a game template or use a casino’s My Slot Theme Library as a start.
SO…
Where should I play MY SLOT! ???
Well, we recommend Ladbrokes Casino or Spin Palace Casino – but if you’d like to play at a good safe casino with extra MY SLOT! promotions running in December, check out Australia-based Canbet Casino.
Here’s a summary of the Canbet MySlot Game Launch Promotions:
– Earn Double Loyalty Points during the month of December
– Play in an exclusive Poker Freeroll Tournament
– Win generous rewards for submitting the best My Slot theme and solving the My Slot Riddle

(Sorry, No USA residents can join any Microgaming Casino as from November 10, 2008)
I can’t post a blog on Microgaming Casinos without a quote from their boss. Microgaming CEO Roger Raatgever says: “We are excited to be launching MySlot to the market and feel proud to once again be leading the industry with innovative gaming. MySlot will offer players a completely different gaming experience which has never before been available – allowing them to sit in the designer driving seat and be the creator of their own slot destiny.”

Online Slots Feature Japan’s Most Wanted.
Can you hear that? It’s the sound of online slots leading to the arrests of Japanese criminals?
The Japanese software developer Famista, Inc. has recently announced their intent to release an online slot that replaces cherries and money signs with the mug shots of Japan’s most wanted criminals.
Famista has stated that, at least initially, the online slot will be free so as to maximize the visibility of the criminal’s faces to the public. If someone hits a jackpot, lucky them, they will win additional information on the suspect whose mug got them the win.
Apparently Famista missed the more obvious and probably popular prizing solution which would to be to award the winner with that criminal as a personal servant for life should they be able to assist in their capture.
Just imagine, the spinning faces slow and begin to fall into place and yes, you got a match! Three Haruko Tanaka’s! Assist in his capture and this infamous drug czar will serve you biscuits and tea until the day you die!
Famista representative, Takashi Saito, said in a statement that, “There are many Internet sites that display photos of those on the wanted list, but they are not necessarily visited frequently. By mixing it with entertainment, we thought we can make some contribution to the police efforts.”
Want to play some more traditional online slots that actually pay you out in cash? Head over to the Bodog online casino for some of the very best in biz.
