PartyCasino Cash Machine and Slot-tastic Sundays
Cash Machine
Claim your unlimited cash reward
Our brand–new PartyCasino.com promotion converts your PartyPoints into hard cash and it's programmed to pay out unlimited amounts of money to our players.
The Cash Machine runs from 00:00 ET on 9th November to 23:59 ET on 6th December. To get unlimited cash, just earn 10 or more PartyPoints on at least 10 days during the promotion. At the end of the promotion, we'll look at the PartyPoints you collected on your 10 highest–earning days, and give you $1 for every point earned on the lowest of those days.
How it works
If you earn the following points on your 10 highest points–earning days:
Three days at 100 points per day
Five days at 175 points per day
Two days at 150 points per day
Your lowest daily points total in this period is 100, which means we'll put a $100 cash reward directly into your Party Account.
Experience the power of the Cash Machine
You can opt in to the Cash Machine at any time. We'll use all the points you've earned since 9th November to calculate your prize at the end of the promotion.
Remember, every new day of the promotion gives you the chance to top your current lowest total and increase your cash prize. Keep playing to make sure you earn more.
You have 28 qualifying days, and your cash machine prize is only limited by the number of points you earn: if your lowest day's points total is 1,000 points, we'll give you $1,000. What you win is up to you.
Slot-tastic Sundays
We're giving away extra PartyPoints and great cash prizes on all our Gold Mega Jackpot slot games for two Sundays this November. Play on either 8th or 22nd November – or both - to reap your extra rewards.
You'll get 100% more PartyPoints when you play selected slots between 00.00 ET and 23.59 ET on a Slot-tastic Sunday*.
Plus, if you finish the day in the top 200 on our Slot-tastic Sunday leader board, we'll also give you a cash bonus of $25**. If you're a Palladium Lounge player we'll give you a cool cash bonus of between $100 to $1,500** for placing in the top 50 of the exclusive Slot-tastic Sunday Palladium Lounge leader board.

High Stakes For Online Gamblers, by Jeremy Herb - Newsweek - 20th November 2009
Between online gambling and the countless ESPN reruns of the World Series of Poker, poker has become a mainstream "sport." More than 6,000 people paid $10,000 to enter this year's World Series main event, and gambling experts say 10 to 15 million Americans wager $100 billion on all forms of Internet gaming annually. The online gambling industry—made up of offshore companies—earns somewhere between $6 and $10 billion in the U.S. each year. But it's a poker game of politics, not cards, that will decide the fate of online gambling in the U.S.
The battle rests on a bill that was passed in the final hours of the 2006 Republican-controlled Congress, when Sen. Bill Frist tacked it onto a port security bill. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) forbids banks from accepting illegal Internet gambling transactions. In essence, it prevents would-be players from using their debit or credit cards—a standard for online payments—for Internet gambling. Those who support Internet gambling, led by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, are making a final plea to the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve to push back the law for one year, giving them time to repeal it. In response, Sen. John Kyl and Rep. Spencer Bachus wrote a letter to Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke urging them to enforce the Dec. 1 deadline. The Treasury and Fed have yet to make a decision, according to a Federal Reserve official.
he problem with UIGEA is it raised more questions than it answered. The law does not make it illegal for people to gamble online, as it focuses on bank transactions. But it failed to define what's considered "illegal Internet gambling." The Treasury and Fed, which are instructing banks on how to enforce the law, did not define illegal gambling either. "The role of financial institutions is not to be policemen of the government," says Mary Dunn, senior vice president of the Credit Union National Association. The finance industry says the law is an unfair burden and also wants it delayed. But if the law goes into effect Dec. 1, all financial institutions must demonstrate they can block online transactions.
The new law won't prosecute individual players, but the risk for gamblers is that online casinos will pull out of the U.S. market. Last week, Golden Casino announced it would no longer take deposits from American players on Dec. 1, according to a gambling trade site. PartyGaming, a publicly traded company, left the U.S. in 2006 when UIGEA passed. The company paid a $105 million nonprosecution fine to the Justice Department, which took UIGEA's passage as a "Congressional mandate" to prosecute illegal online gambling.
The Justice Department believes all Internet gambling is illegal based on the 1960s Wire Act, which was designed to stop bookies from using telephones and passed long before the Internet as we know it existed. The gambling industry disputes this, arguing the Wire Act only applies to sports-betting, not games like poker or roulette. In 2002, the Fifth Circuit Court ruled the Wire Act only applied to sports-betting, but that didn't sway any opinions at Justice. Several offshore executives of online casinos and "e-wallet" payment processors have been arrested in the past few years. In June, the Justice Department froze $33 million in payments to American players from four online casinos.
If Frank gets his online gambling bill passed, however, the Wire Act dispute would disappear. Frank's bill, along with companion legislation from Rep. Jim McDermott, would legalize and tax online casinos, though online sports-betting would remain outlawed. Online gambling could generate up to $42 billion in tax revenue over the next decade, according to a Joint Committee on Taxation report. Spurred on by efforts from lobbyists and advocacy groups, Frank has vowed to overturn what he says is an "outrageous" law. His plans have been sidetracked by finance reform, however, which has eaten up most of the Financial Services Committee's time this year.
The morality debate over Internet gambling doesn't stray far from regular gambling, with a few exceptions. Opponents say the convenience of the Internet gives gambling addicts easy access to the lure of slots and cards, and encourages underage playing. Gambling advocates argue regulated sites will be more difficult for underage players because they will have stricter age verification, and that players should have the same rights online they already have in a casino. But another argument that's also being made is poker should be legalized online because it's a skill game-not a game of chance-and therefore it doesn't fall under UIGEA or the Wire Act. Sen. Robert Menendez has also introduced separate legislation that carves out an exception for poker. "People have been playing this great skill game that's been around for a long time," says Howard Lederer, a professional poker player and member of the Poker Players Alliance. "We're playing against each other, not the house."
Even if the UIGEA is enacted, it's unlikely online gambling would disappear completely. There are ways for American players to circumvent bank regulations, including setting up a foreign bank account. "We're all holding our breath and hoping the petition will be accepted," Lederer says, but that isn't the industry's only option. Online poker could be legalized through the courts on the argument that the Wire Act doesn't apply to poker. The industry is waiting to see what happens Dec. 1 before taking any action, he says. But if they do head to court, Lederer likes the odds. (Credit: Newsweek)

Fair Poker Absorbed by Noble Poker, by Jessica Welman - Poker News Daily - 15th November 2009
Two sites on the iPoker Network have merged into one, as members of the online poker room Fair Poker have had their accounts transferred to Noble Poker. Players on Fair Poker recently received a notice informing them of the change and offering a deposit bonus as a welcome to the new site.
The e-mail from Fair Poker assured users their username and password would remain unchanged and the entirety of their Fair accounts would show up once they log into Noble Poker. Fair Poker’s website has already been re-branded as Noble Poker and makes no mention of why the changeover occurred. Gibraltar-based Noble Poker set up shop in 2004 and offers users a range of Hold’em, Omaha and Omaha High-Low cash games, sit and gos, and multi-table tournaments.
Noble offers a daily $100,000 Guaranteed tournament, a monthly Sunday tournament with a $1 million prize pool, weekly Sunday tournaments with a guaranteed prize pool of $250,000, and satellites to other major iPoker Network events like the European Championship of Online Poker (ECOOP).
This change comes just before the launch of ECOOP V, hosted by fellow iPoker site Titan Poker. The online tournament series gets underway on November 23rd and satellites are already running on Noble and other iPoker affiliates. The upcoming two-week long series features 14 tournaments with buy-ins ranging from $100 to $2,500 and there will be more than $4.5 million in guaranteed prize money up for grabs. Satellites for the event have been running since September 21st and players can win their way in for as little as $1.50. Sites on the iPoker Network, run by Playtech, currently do not accept U.S. customers.
Fair Poker, also established in 2004, was best known for its Jackpot Sit and Gos and loose action at the cash game tables. Noble Poker, which is a substantially larger site than Fair Poker, also has a reputation for juicy cash game tables in addition to its ever-growing multi-table tournament schedule.
According to the official e-mail to Fair Poker customers, iPoints earned will transfer over to Noble. Those points will go towards eligibility in Noble’s VIP Crown program, which rewards loyal customers with a player points store, monthly freerolls, VIP rake races, and other special promotions. There are six VIP Crown levels based on how many points that players earn each month, with the highest level reserved for those who rack up at least 35,000.
Other than the e-mail to customers, which referred to the Noble Poker transfer as an “upgrade,” none of iPoker’s sites offer any explanation as to why the Antigua-based Fair Poker closed its doors. It was one of the smaller rooms on the iPoker Network, which hosts over 30 online poker rooms including Titan, Noble, Chili Poker, William Hill Poker, and Expekt. Neither Playtech’s nor iPoker’s websites featured any press release detailing the change. Fair Poker is still listed on iPoker’s site as one of the poker rooms in its expansive network, but the link to sign up for Fair Poker directs users to Noble Poker information.

Casino, Poker, Bingo, Table Games, Hollywood Slot Games, Casino Classics: PartyGaming Does It All, by Greg Tingle
PartyCasino, PartyPoker, Club World Poker Tour - London Stock Exchange powerhouse - meet the Ace of the igaming world
The world's leading igaming company, PartyGaming is on a roll as of late.
Having come to terms with the United States Department of Justice earlier this year, PartyGaming have become quite the darling of the igaming, gaming and news media world.
PartyGaming has been on a purchasing and acquisitions mission recently picking up Cashcade and World Poker Tour, and is poised to come to more major business deals in the Asia Pacific and South American regions. It's global strategy also sees Party eyeing off India and France, whose government's appear open, even positive, to see a deal inked. PartyGaming has also been able to talk shop with Australia's Crown Casino resulting in sending online poker players in the direction of Crown's Aussie Millions Poker Tournament via its celebrated PartyPoker.com brand.
As PartyGaming CEO, Jim Ryan, has pointed out a number of times this financial year, PartyCasino is a key driver in the business and the Hollywood themed online slot games have been a huge success, as has their "Live Dealer" product, enabled by Evolution Gaming. While PartyCasino secured the rights to WagerWorks classic titles last year, Cleopatra, Monopoly and Cluedo, Party was able to build the portfolio with its own in-house team.
Online poker remains the company's bread and butter, despite PartyPoker.com not currently accepting U.S customers. However, Party's purchase and running of Club WPT means that United States citizens can now enjoy a PartyGaming product without any question of legals. The World Poker Tour brand will also almost certainly enable PartyGaming to facilitate some major news media and television deals, which will further grow the company's bottom line and brand.
Casino fans... now the information you've been waiting for... more world class online slot games are on the cards for PartyCasino, following the recent releases, Tarzan, Sinatra, High Noon, Resident Evil and The Naked Gun. Names being speculated include Andre The Giant, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, The Expendables, The Sopranos, Sonic, Underbelly, Hilton, UFC, TNA and Marvel. Again, those brands are speculation, but some of these have made print, and as they say, where there's smoke, there's fire! PartyGaming already offers four Marvel themed online slot games and the Marvel Hero Jackpot, and modern classic, The Godfather, remains one of the most popular slots networked into the world famous Gold Mega Jackpot, currently exceeding $4 million dollars! If you got excited by Cleo, Rambo and Tarzan, just wait till you see what lurks around the corner. Australia's NextGen Gaming has been teasing some journalists and insiders on some massive brands going live on PartyCasino, and that's no spin. The online casino brand also offers 24/7/365 support and comes in a wide range of multi currency and multi language options. Not convinced yet? Players and potential players can also play for free or play for money, so you know your in safe hands.
PartyGaming is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has been operating for over a decade, which is like a lifetime in the gaming world. PartyGaming has also made this year's eGaming Review and Casino News Media shortlist for a number of awards and commendations.
While some of PartyGaming's competitors are putting out some impressive products from time to time, those in the know state that there is only one PartyGaming and that their track record of stability, service, security, innovation and fun speaks for itself.
*the writer has a b2b agreement in place with a number of PartyGaming brands, as they do with dozens of brands in the gaming and igaming sector, the details of which are commercially sensitive in nature. The writer is the founder and director of Media Man, Media Man International and Global Gaming Directory.

Joe Cada Comments on WSOP Main Event Victory, by Dan Cypra - Poker News Daily - 12th November 2009
Poker News Daily: Congratulations on the big win in the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. How are you feeling after the victory?
Joe Cada: It hasn’t quite hit me yet, but I’m feeling really good.
PND: How were you able to handle the busy schedule prior to taking to the felts?
Cada: Before the final table took place, there was a long gap in between and I tried to not think about it too much. Instead, I tried to continue my normal lifestyle. Fortunately, I ran really well and, going into heads-up play, went from a big underdog to a big favorite.
Darvin was playing great poker and took over the chip lead relatively quickly. I came in with a game plan of playing a lot of hands in position and playing a lot of small ball poker waiting for him to make mistakes. It blew up in my face. He just wanted to play big ball poker, put me in a lot of tough spots, and played really well. It was rough at the start, but I tried to remain focused and turned it around.
PND: Darvin Moon took a 3:1 chip lead heads-up after re-raising on a board of A-5-3 and you folded. Tell us about that hand.
Cada: It’s one of those things that heads-up, you’re playing a lot of hands. More times than not, you’re not going to make a lot of hands. Darvin likes to trap a lot and check-raise a lot. I never played back at Darvin during the course of the heads-up match. I raised pre-flop, the flop came A-5-3, he decided to lead out, and I took a shot. I made a raise, but every time I tried to raise or bluff, it backfired. That was another example of that happening.
PND: You doubled heads-up after calling all-in with J-9 on a board of 10-5-9-10. Tell us about your thought process there.
Cada: I raised pre-flop to the standard two and a half big blinds and he called. The flop came 10-9-5 and he loves to check-raise, so I checked behind for pot control. The turn brought a ten. The board was 10-9-5-10 with two clubs and he decided to check again. A lot of the hands weren’t checked down to the river. I bet three million into a six million pot and then he jammed all-in. I took a lot of time to make decision and didn’t see him open-jamming the way he had been playing with a ten. There were hands like 7-8, J-Q, and clubs – random hands I could see him jamming with – and I opted to go with the correct call even though I wasn’t happy about it, but it worked out.
PND: What went through your mind when you realized you had become the 2009 WSOP Main Event Champion?
Cada: I was glad it was all over. I knew how important it was, but was happy to get the match over with. I gave as many props as I could to Darvin because he played great poker.
PND: Your father told us that he wasn’t completely behind your poker career to start with. Tell us about your relationship with him and how it’s evolved.
Cada: My parents weren’t totally against it, but they weren’t 100% supportive. I worked for a long time and had a job for four years, but decided to quit since I had made a significant amount in poker over a long period of time. Once I quit my job to do poker full-time, I continued to have a lot of success. Then, I traveled to tournaments in places I could play like the Bahamas, Costa Rica, and Aruba. College interfered and I had to go one way, so I put money aside in case poker didn’t work out and decided to play full-time.
PND: How big was the crowd support at the Penn and Teller Theater?
Cada: Having the support of these guys was great. Some of them missed school and work and none of them have voices left. They cheered me on the whole time, whether I was down or had chips. It was great having all of that support.
PND: Tell us about signing with PokerStars and wearing a Poker Players Alliance (PPA) logo.
Cada: PokerStars is a great website. They’re the biggest known site out there. I was very grateful for the opportunity they gave me. I’m very supportive of the PPA being an online player. The least I can do is support the PPA. (Credit: Poker News Daily)

Party's awards and commendations include eGaming Review Operator Of The Year, Socially Responsible Operator Of The Year and Media Man - Casino News Media Online Casino Of The Month (numerous times).
The company also achieved inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series.
As the company looks forward to the new year they look to continue innovation, value for money, world class service, and growth into new geographic regions including South America, Indian, France and the Asia Pacific.
PartyGaming will continue to revamp its websites including it's ever growing PartyCasino.com site, thanks to the frequent games being added and its newly acquired Club WPT website, certain to have a more PartyGaming look and feel being added in the coming months.
PartyGaming is poised to make more inroads into the United States coming off the back of its purchase of WPT Enterprises (U.S residents can play online poker on the Club World Poker Tour website without potential legal complications) and PartyPoker.com and World Poker Tour ambassador, Mike Sexton, has just been inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in Las Vegas and had nothing but praise for the PartyGaming family.

PartyGaming Plc Acquisition of World Poker Tour
9th November 2009
PartyGaming Plc of World Poker Tour completed
PartyGaming, the world’s leading listed online gaming company, announces the completion of the acquisition of the business and substantially all of the assets of WPT Enterprises Inc.
(“WPTE”) for a cash consideration of $12.3 million plus an additional minimum aggregate payment of $3m over the next three years relating to an ongoing revenue share agreement.
The assets being acquired include, inter alia:
· The World Poker Tour® brand, rights to a number of land-based events in the US and Europe and all other intellectual property rights associated with the World Poker Tour
· An extensive library of over 150 hours of poker programming that is broadcast in more than 150 countries
· The ClubWPT subscription poker offering that has more than 16,500 paying subscribers in 37 US states
Commenting on today’s announcement, Jim Ryan, PartyGaming Chief Executive Officer, said:
“This deal brings together two of the biggest brands in online and offline poker – www.PartyPoker.com and World Poker Tour – that we will market internationally to build our poker business. Our plans also include using the ClubWPT subscription platform to leverage our 12 million-strong US player database via a Party-branded website and the launch of a European WPT-branded poker and casino site. We are excited about the opportunities that WPT, a proven marketing channel for the Group, will create for PartyGaming, particularly if the US regulates and licenses online gaming.”
Steve Lipscomb, the founder of WPTE, said:
“PartyGaming has been an important partner for a number of years and we are confident that they will be an excellent manager of our brands in the future. Combining two of the pioneers and leaders in the poker and online gaming markets will create a strong vehicle for the WPT brand to continue its global expansion.”
