First Past the Post - A video slot based on a day at the races. This race track themed slots is the latest offering from Microgaming and offers an action packed 5 reel, 25 pay-line video slot which is both exciting and stylish and features dozens of great looking images of the sport together with the horses, champagne and trophies with the opportunity to gamble on a favoured horse.

Deuces Wild Level-Up Poker - This month’s DEUCES WILD LEVEL UP POKER is the second game in the new Multi Level Power Poker series which began with the brilliant Jacks or Better game.

This completely revised game of Video Poker is certain to keep fans entertained as they climb a series of levels with increasing rewards for each victory. There are a total of 4 levels, and the opportunity to win 8x the original bet, there are ample opportunities to win in this exciting variation of the original.

You can play all of these games at most Microgaming Casinos

Online Kalooki is making a massive impact in the online gaming scene and has seen plenty of players migrate from poker to Kalooki, especially since the UIGEA came into effect in the US making it very difficult for players to make deposits at Online Poker sites. Since Online Kalooki is a game of skill, it is not classed as gambling and therefore is legal in most countries, including many of those that currently do not allow its citizens to play poker.

The goal of the game is very simple - get rid of all your cards before anyone else!

Each player is dealt a stack of cards, which you then sort into various hands (or Melds as they are known in the game) melds are very similar to the hands played in poker, for example you could form a set (i.e. 4 Kings) or a run (i.e. 5,6 & 7 of Clubs)

To start the game, you take a card from either the face up deck or the face down deck and add it to your hand, you then try to form enough melds to score 51 points, at which point you can lay them down in the middle of the table - the Meld area.

If you don’t have enough melds to make 51 points or more, you put down 1 of your un-needed cards on the face up deck and play moves to the next person.

The points system in Online Kalooki is simply equivalent to the face value of the card (or 10 points in the case of picture cards and 11 points in the case of the Aces)

Once you have added your hands to the meld area, play becomes much easier as you can add single cards to existing melds on the table (yours or other players) for example if 5,6 & 7 of clubs already exists in the communal meld area, you can add an 8 (or 4) of clubs to it to form a longer run.

Once you have got rid of all of you cards you are announced the winner and all players have points deducted from them equivalent to the value of the cards in their hand.

Play now continues and players are eliminated as soon as they get down to a pre-defined number of points (usually 200, but this varies slightly from game to game)

The winner is the person remaining in the game after all other players have been eliminated.

Online Kalooki can be played at Rummy Royal for real cash or for fun and there are several exciting variations of the game which are sure to keep you entertained. Look out also, for the Online Kalooki Tournaments which is a giant battle between dozens or sometimes hundreds of players in the quest to take the grand prize.

August 2008 saw a stack of new No Deposit Required Promotions and included our first ever no deposit offer from a Boss Media Casino. Whilst Jackpot Palace Casino haven’t exactly blown us away with the free lucky dollar promotion, it has been very popular amongst our players and gives you a small chance to look over the Boss Media software and try a game or two.

The most popular promotion for August 2008 was the offering from Golden Tiger Casino, which is a $1500 (also available in GBP & Euros) timed promotion. As with all timed promotions you are given a set amount of time to make as much profit as you can before converting the profit to a casino bonus. In most cases these bonuses require a real money deposit before they can actually be withdrawn, but with the ability to get such a huge bonus in your account it was clear to see why so many of you took advantage of this offer last month.

August also saw the addition of our Skill Gaming Section which we are hoping to build up over the coming months to include dozens of different types of no deposit skill games. Currently we have offerings from Rummy Royal who are offering Daily, Weekly and Monthly freerolls allowing you to win some real cash in this great version of Online Kalooki. Also in our skill gaming section we saw an offering from Play65 who kindly allowed us to give all our loyal visitors $3 to play the online skill game of Backgammon.

It was an interesting month for Bingo last month as many Bingo Halls enhanced the current offerings for Free Bingo Money by either increasing the bonus awarded or relaxing the terms. Clearly Online Bingo is a fierce market and we can only benefit from all the competition in the form of better bonuses and a greater variety of choice.
