Two new slot games were released yesterday: Jellyfish Jaunt and Game On!

Three or more submarines will deliver 15 Free Spins, and you can not only win rewards within those spins but trigger further free spins, too.

UK companies, UC group and Baker Tilly Accountants, have announced the introduction of the “Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative”, in support of recent moves to regulate Internet gambling in the US.

The initiative is set to stand in opposition to the blanket prohibitive legislation in the US in the form of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. In addition, a re-opening of the US market would see the return of significant profits to both companies.

UC Group has fought the UIGEA since its inception, and can offer technology to detect compulsive gambling as well as money laundering and underage gambling. This will support Barney Frank’s proposed bill for a legal and regulated online gambling industry.

“The Initiative is both to educate parts of the public as well as to garner grassroots support from other companies, organizations and individuals for the (Barney Frank’s) legislation,” said spokesman Jeff Sandman of Hyde Park Communications.

According to Jeffrey Oldham of Direct Impact, specialists in grassroots mobilisation, the initiative is a novel use of grassroots tactics.

An updated registration system has been introduced to the Second Life game by creators, Linden Lab. Federal interest in online gambling at Second Life casinos is making Linden Lab cautious, but the move is also related to child protection issues.

In a press release, the company stated, “It has been a basic tenet of Second Life that all Residents are legally responsible for their own activities and for complying with the laws of the local jurisdiction in which they reside.”

Two classes of user will now be created: ‘verified’ status indicates a registrant has submitted valid identification and payment to the company, “unverified” means they have not. Users can then confirm aspects of each other’s identities, such as age and jurisdiction.

“Hopefully, these features will help Residents as they conform to their own local laws.”

Second Life businesses can then screen casino customers to avoid engaging customers whose age or local legislation prohibits online gambling. The option of identity confirmation also puts the responsibility for any illegal activity back with the provider and not Linden Labs themselves.

Teen/adult segregation will also be more thorough – adults found in teen areas face total exclusion, and teens in adult areas will be ‘deported’ back to the teen grids.

As far as online casino news goes, it doesn’t get much more exciting than the release of a slot of this quality, HITMAN will most certainly bring an element of sophistication and stimulation to any casino player.

New players to Microgaming are invited to take advantage of their generous welcome bonus of 1 hour and $500 to make as much money as they can. This gives players an opportunity to not only sample the 200 plus games on offer, but also tally up a decent bank roll to take to the table for when the exciting HITMAN game is released.
