Casino game developer giant and digital casino solutions provider, NetEnt, is continuing their expansion on the markets of Central and Latin America. This time, they've signed a partnership agreement with the Mexican operator, Caliente, which is the company’s latest step towards expanding their presence on regulated markets worldwide. This is the brand’s second deal of this kind in the country.

Caliente, which is the leading online gambling operator in Mexico, will thus be providing the developer’s suite of award-winning, cutting-edge gaming titles to their punters in this Central American country. Caliente Casino is the most popular in Mexico as well, so their numerous players will be delighted to be able to enjoy slot titles from such an esteemed developer.

Emilio Hank, Caliente Interactive's CEO, comments: “We are very excited to integrate NetEnt’s world class gaming portfolio. We are confident the games will expand our growth and solidify our leadership in the regulated Mexican market.”

Bjorn Krantz, NetEnt Americas LLC Managing Director, says: “I am very pleased that Caliente has selected us as a business partner for online casino. They are a true frontrunner in Mexico, and a major player within the regulated online gaming space. I am convinced that we can support them to drive online casino growth and to provide the best-in-class entertainment experience to their player community.”

NetEnt has also recently dismissed their long-standing CEO Per Eriksson because the Board of Directors found that the company did not meet the financial expectations during 2017.

Bars and restaurants in the U.S. are selling less alcohol as a new generation comes of drinking age and third party services deliver beer, wine and liquor to the home.

A new slots studio emerged in the iGaming space in 2015. LCB’ers may recognize the modest collection of video slot games, which includes FruitZ, The Odd Forest and Lucky Bakery to name a few. Based in Estonia, the company’s story was rather vague and information limited. Intrigued by the games and the name, we approached Foxium and got lucky enough to snag an interview with their CEO, Åke André, and Creative Director, Daniil Sanders - Thanks, guys! They’ve got a productive 2018 planned in terms of game releases and more. Without further ado, the interview.

Q: We’d like to offer you the floor to elaborate on the company’s history and the concept behind the name, Foxium.

Daniil Sanders: When we first decided to create this company, Foxium, we thought about being different and standing out from the crowd. The principal values that we all agree upon are, quality, creativity and excellent player experience. The years of individual experience we enjoyed in our respective specialized fields, came together collectively, and enabled us to reach our goals. It was merely a case of the right people, at the right time, and everything is working smoothly now. The founders of Foxium, and the creative team are: Maria Dementieva – Artist designer, Daniil Sanders – Creative Director, Igor Vesselov – CTO and Åke André – CEO.

Q: We understand that gamification and mobile technology are important aspects of game development. Tell us more about this approach and the products you offer?

Daniil Sanders: We always try to keep up with the times. Mobile technology does not stand still, improvements and enhancements appear fast in our daily lives. Mobile gaming has become the players’ number one choice of accessing an online casino to play a game. We at Foxium create our games with this in mind. If we take one of our upcoming games as an example, we are now using real-time 3D rendering processes for game characters along with our new game engine. 3D real-time rendering gives us much livelier and realistic characters in our games. Furthermore, this also opens up new possibilities for player interaction. We are now also using adaptive soundtracks. They take our games even further, and to a higher level. After all, the player experience is crucial when it comes to games, whether casino slots or console games. All the above factors combine to create eye candy, atmospheric music, and entertaining, well-crafted mathematics make our games unique. To wrap up, let’s not forget that games run on HTML5, so finding the perfect balance between performance and a great looking graphics, is a real challenge. It can be a tricky process, yet a satisfying one, when all the work put into a game comes to fruition.

Q: Are your products licensed and which markets are they currently geared towards?

Daniil Sanders: Yes, of course. All our games are licensed and we will continue to focus on the European market but our next step will be penetrating the Asian market.

Q: Your current portfolio is quite modest, yet the games lack nothing in terms of quality. Can we expect more regular releases this year?

Åke André: We have quite an exciting roadmap for 2018. We have already produced some online titles, such as The Odd Forest, The Lost Riches of Amazon, Fruitz, Lucky Bakery and Big Time Journey. These games have rich features and engaging storylines. Last year we released our first, branded slot game; Vampire: The Masquerade. It is a game based on collaborative license between Foxium and White Wolf Entertainment. Foxium is now live with the second game we developed, called Adelia: The Fortune Wielder, released through Microgaming. We plan to release another four to five games in 2018, so we are very busy in that respect. The next major project we have in the pipeline is a new game called; Astro Legends. It will have some original, new features we are convinced our fans will adore. We are here to break boundaries and challenge the industry with innovation, agility, and extensive expertise. Foxium is a company that has managed to grow steadily and is already creating some of the best video game products to be found on the market. Our motto has always been, that every game we release, must feel that it is the best we have created to date. We would much instead concentrate on quality, rather than quantity.

Q: The Astro Legends video slot is coming soon. What can you tell us about the game and its features?

Daniil Sanders: Our upcoming video slot is something new, and unique which we have not been able to present to the market before now. This new slot will surely be able to hold its ground in the very competitive iGaming market. Astro Legends is a video slot which has a cluster pays feature, Multiplier Wilds, ReSpins and a Bonus Game as well. The game is played with clusters of symbols on a field of 22 crystal cells and is built around storytelling. We can guarantee players an adventurous atmosphere, and an action-packed, stunning gaming experience that is shrouded in vibrant colors, with lifelike graphics, and thrilling soundtracks. The storyline revolves around two characters who interact with one another, and each has extensive bios. The female character is Lyra. She is named after one of the most famous instruments in Greek mythology. The lyre that Orpheus used to secure safe passage for Jason and the Argonauts, past the sirens. The music it created was said to be so powerful that even inanimate objects such as rocks, trees, and streams could be charmed. Lyra is at the very heart of Astro Legends: the game, and the band of the same name. Astro Legends is one of the first games we have built on our brand new engine, with the real-time 3D rendering process, and along with the adaptive soundtrack. I think this game has all the attributes to be successful. We are all looking forward to this upcoming release, but let’s wait till we put on the finishing touches!

Q: Last year, you signed a deal with Microgaming’s Quickfire platform. Are there other contracts in the works?

Daniil Sanders: Yes, you are correct, and to be honest we are proud of that, as it rewarded our hard work. The exclusive deal with Microgaming’s Quickfire platform provides Foxium with the chance to produce better games, and we can reach more operators and ultimately more fans. With the extensive distribution network available through Quickfire, we believe we are in the best position to capitalize on the growing online casino market. At the moment there are no other contracts in the works.

Q: October 2017 also saw investment from Velo Partners. What did this mean for Foxium?

Åke André: I am delighted that we have inked this deal with Velo Partners and the RNG Foundry. Foxium has in the past been approached by several investors, but for one reason or another, it never felt right, until now. With Velo Partners, we felt for the first time, that we had an investor with the same values, culture, and vision as we do at Foxium. Through Velo Partners and the RNG Foundry, we are now in a position to strengthen our company in some critical areas. Specifically, the speed of access to markets, and distribution of our games. I have great respect for the team at Velo Partners and RNG Foundry. It will be a pleasure having them on board as we take Foxium on to the next level.

Q: Your current portfolio includes several interesting themes. Which is your personal favorite and why?

Daniil Sanders: I don’t think there is one particular, favorite theme. We love them all. They all very different from each other, and each game has its own unique feature set. They were all produced with passion, and lots of work has gone into developing them to such a high standard. Nevertheless, I would say that it depends on my mood at that moment, or what kind of experience I want to have. These days, my preferred slot tends to be Amazon: the Lost Riches. Tomorrow it might be the Lucky Bakery slot. Just because it looks so yummy!

Are you up for a little space race? The stars have perfectly aligned and the countdown is nearing completion – the brand new Genesis Casino is about to orbit the Earth and it's our pleasure to spread the word!

While some casinos have their head in the clouds, this new offering will be a bit further away – among clusters of galaxies, planets and asteroids. As the official description of the casino states, “In a million miles, along a highway in the sky, is where it all began” - this universe-themed online casino embodies everything that's best about modern, imaginative aesthetics and its visual appearance promises to be among the very best. Some of the design elements it will employ are vast areas of deep space, colorful nebulas and surreal images of astronauts conquering alien grounds – whilst enjoying their gambling pastime. Certainly one of the more stunning casinos we've seen design-wise…

There are a few things that we're already familiar with concerning the site – it will boast an enviable collection of more than 1300 games, all developed and supplied by such industry's staples like NYX, Play'n GO, Quickspin, NetEnt, Evolution Gaming and Microgaming.

Banking options will also be numerous – punters will have no trouble depositing and cashing out via Visa, Mastercard, Trustly, Neteller, Skrill, Ukash, Entropay, Zimpler, Euteller, Giropay etc. The site promises “seamlessly fast payment methods,” so that too is something to cheer about.

A welcome bonus promotion is on hand for all the newcomers. All newly registered players will get a $/€ 1000 / KR 10,000 welcome bonus on the first FOUR deposits along with 300 extra spins! There will be plenty of other promos to look forward to as well, and all of them will be in one way or another space-related: we can tell you that names of some of them will be Lucky Star and Lightspeed Monday.

Genesis Casino deems itself the “genuine entertainment ecosystem” - and while we're certainly taken by the hype, we can't wait until the time has come for the casino to go live and we can try it on our own. We'll also be bringing you our official review of the casino as soon as it's online. Stay tuned for more development on this!

Ladbrokes betting group has had quite a dispute with HMRC UK tax authorities – in 2008, Ladbrokes and Deloitte (their accountant firm) deployed a corporate tax scheme by using a loophole that was shut down by the UK government later on, after it was used by numerous other organizations.

The company handed in an appeal over the £71 million ($100 million) tax case that was just rejected by the Court of Appeal. This was its third attempt at winning a rebate and it seems their decade-long battle has come to an end.

The case was with UK Tribunal Court last year already and it was rejected then, which is when Ladbrokes appealed. At first, when HMRC warned the brand that the company has failed to pay taxes, the betting group accepted to pay it. However, soon after they attempted to get the money back. They were permitted to take their case to the Court of Appeal who found that “UK tax rules prevented Ladbrokes' attempt at tax advantage.”

HMRC spokesperson commented: “We are pleased that the Court of Appeal supports HMRC’s view that Ladbrokes were attempting to avoid corporation tax. Avoidance schemes like this just don’t work and HMRC will always take firm action against them. HMRC wins nine out ten avoidance cases we take to court.”

Ladbrokes representative also weighed in, saying: “We note the court ruling. This was a case regarding taxes already paid and accounted for, so while the case may have been given against us, it has no bearing on our numbers.”

Cryptocurrency promises benefits for marijuana and gaming, but state regulators have yet to create rules to address its use in those businesses.

Bitcoin skepticism continues to be a thing and this has, unfortunately, struck the global cryptocurrency market as well. January and February were particularly poor months in terms of prices and performances, driven by the sharp decline in the cryptocurrency’s value (right now, 1 BTC trades for about $8400). Besides many blows to the regulatory market and operators, now the Bitcoin exchange websites are reporting a staggering nosedive in visits per month.

February was not a good month if you're operating a major bitcoin and/or cryptocurrency exchange – the web traffic of the most vital websites of this kind rose during December and part of January, only to plummet significantly in February. On average, the visits have fallen by half.

Here is the breakdown for some of the most visited cryptocurrency exchange websites: Coinbase, which had 169.5 million visits in December 2017, only had 63.1 million visits in February – a 49% decline from January's 123.5 million. Kraken has it even worse - it fell by 56%, from January's 31.7 million to just 13.8 million in February. Similarly, Binance dropped by 54%, from 191.5 to 87.3 million.

These numbers are a symptom of the ongoing distrust in cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin who was at the center of much turmoil since it's stellar 2017. Recently we've reported on another big decline, that of Bitcoin's plummet to a two-year low. Why are people, by the looks of it, losing interest in the cryptocurrency exchange? There are a couple of factors that could've led to this. Firstly, the very poor joint price performance of all cryptocurrencies during January and February (with possibly the only exception being Litecoin who is doing well). Secondly, the impossible rise in the value during the last months of 2017 prompted too huge a number of investors to start pouring money in the Bitcoin ecosystem, which set a bar that could hardly be repeated. Consequently, it may be that the aforementioned decline in Bitcoin transactions may have been caused by the smaller volume of adoption and usage. The only upside to this emptying of the market is that fees have been brought down.

The birth of bitcoin is shrouded in mystery. Its history is filled with controversy.

LCB’ers, we’re soon to head into the month of April and warmer weather is on the horizon with the start of spring just a couple days ago. With the commencement of a new season, it is only fitting to share with you that a new casino is also headed your way! Want the details? Of course, you do! CryptoSlots is the name and it’s scheduled to go live this May. They say, ‘April showers bring May flowers,’ but in this case, a wide range of games and fabulous wins will be in full bloom.

No exact date during the month of May has been released just yet, but you can bet we’re going to stay on top of this and let you know as soon as we hear anything. The casino will be open to players across the globe and it has put out the word that security and anonymity will be at the top of its priority list. Players will have access to provably fair games and the ability to complete transactions using solely cryptocurrencies, hence its name. Digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash will all be eligible for use.

Members can also try for their chance to win big via the new Jackpot Trigger. Players may collect tokens to try for a massive $1,000,000 jackpot! Sister to brands such as Slotland and WinADay Casino (which just recently launched Bitcoin cash on March 17th), users contemplating registering an account to this site when it goes live can rest easy knowing it has such popular relatives leading the way for what can only make for one impressive offering.

Stay tuned…

The Chinese gaming operator will stave off other potential unsolicited suitors while giving the company a key local ally in talks with Macau regulators.

Producers of the largest online jackpots in iGaming have proven their worth for the umpteenth time after two players managed to strike multimillion cash prizes on progressive slots from NetEnt in the same day! The company celebrates as life-changing spins on Mega Fortune and Mega Fortune Dreams pave way for two new multi-millionaires and members of popular gaming venues PokerStars and Unibet.

The smaller jackpot in the amount of €2,667,743.19 was won by a UK player on March 7th after placing a single €1.00 bet per spin. Convinced that he is about to lose all his money, the Brit put his hand over the screen and pushed the button. Little did he know that the game would trigger a multimillion cash prize and change his life in an instant! The PokerStars player even admitted he almost passed out, as it was really hard for him to believe that a €2M jackpot is real.

The story doesn’t end there. On the very same day, a Unibet customer from Sweden hit an even greater prize reaching an astounding €4,084,430.35. It is the second mammoth PJP in 2018 and the supplier is pleased that Mega Fortune slots continue putting smiles on players’ faces all over the world. Henrik Fagerlund, chief product officer is delighted that more and more gamers are choosing the company’s thrilling and rewarding titles.

Furthermore, leading providers of digital gaming solutions have recently published their latest release, Hotline. According to developers, it contains a unique multi-level bonus bet feature and top-quality audio in the style of 80s that will not only take players to retro Miami with palm trees, sunsets and fast cars but also provide them a great opportunity to experience several innovative segments filled with re-spins, extra rounds and expanding wilds. The game can be found at partner casinos such as Guts, Casino Luck, Vera & John and other.

Little is known about Olimp Casino, other than the fact they are a shady-looking venue with what seems to be a collection of falsified slots. Some of our members noticed software irregularities as well, and after thoroughly investigating the site, we regretfully report this operator fails to meet necessary requirements that make a decent gaming site. LCB team has researched countless piracy cases so far, accumulating vast experience in the process. However, there is no need for much practical knowledge to recognize something is amiss here!

Olimp offers little to no background information on the platform itself. We were unable to determine when launched, who owns the site or where the software comes from. They appear to operate without a license, as there is no evidence nor mention of any kind of a legal permit in the terms and conditions, or anywhere else on the website.

The introductory sequences, as well as the complaints sections of the T&C usually contain some information about the owner company and regulator, but here this is omitted either accidentally or intentionally. Some parts of the website are in Russian and the pirated domains look familiar, while other aspects that might point to a well-known rogue group targeting Eastern European markets - poor English translation, predatory bonus terms, fake license validators - are not present here. It might very well be another brand from the Welcome Partners rogue network, but we can't be certain.

What we do believe, based on our findings, is that their games are not genuine. Within the suite, we found fake versions of Novomatic and Net Entertainment video slots. Key features such as hosting servers, menus, and launchers do NOT match the providers' official products. We will show our readers why we think these are bogus titles on the example of a popular slot Columbus Deluxe developed by Novomatic, and a branded NetEntrelease Dracula.

As always, the first thing to check is the source code and domain where the games are hosted. As expected, it is a pirated domain without any similarity to either of the two official sources: https://olimp-casino.monkeyboxsrv.com/. Not only does it reveal foul play, but it is also a hint that gives away who might be the culprit - Welcome Partners group with over a dozen active sites using the same cheating tactic!

Pirated hosting domain as evidenced by the source codes in the supposed Novomatic and NetEnt products found at Olimp :

Launching Columbus Deluxe slot, it is obvious the loader looks nothing like that of the original Greentube products. Anyone who has ever played this game can spot the discrepancies right away, and should it happen to you too, don't hesitate to close the game immediately and report your suspicions to us! Experienced players and fan of this developer know that their countdown load timer is a circle, not a bar! Proceeding into the gameplay, players are presented with a number of slot machine images, laid out in multiple rows, to pick from. As you can see below, none of this is present in the versions we found at Olimp. Furthermore, during spinning it is very clear the interface and layout feature additional buttons, colors and design elements that otherwise do not exist in the legitimate version.

Strange-looking loader of Columbus Deluxe:

Compare the above image with the GENUINE Novomatic launcher and starting screen:

How the REAL Columbus Deluxe slot appears during the gameplay:

If this is indeed another Welcome Partners scam, it is worrying that they continue with the piracy network even after being exposed to the gaming community. Please do not be fooled by the improved English version of the site, or lulled into complacency by numerous, seemingly player-friendly bonus offers. This site is not worth it, no matter where you reside or what your other options are. There are better, honest and licensed gaming sites where you can have a great time and a genuine chance to win, cash-out and walk away satisfied with the service.

The long-awaited Cai Hong slot from Realtime Gaming is finally coming to renowned South African Thunderbolt casino and the operator is giving away 30 extra spins to celebrate the game’s essence – wealth and prosperity. Famous for its Chinese-themed releases whose popularity is in constant growth, the supplier has conceived the new game as a sequel to God of Wealth, a five-reel edition with 25 bet lines, wild wins, scattered gold ingots, free games and progressive jackpot features. The offer is available from Wednesday, March 21st until Saturday, April 21st and it carries an exclusive coupon code:TRY-CAI-HONG.

RTG’s next release is based on the Chinese god of prosperity who is represented as the Wild symbol. To prove his generosity, each such symbol will double the prize and increase the amount of winnings. Similarly, three or more Rainbow Scatter icons will activate 8 free games during which all rewards are also doubled! Bonus picks are triggered during extra rounds and players are given the chance to flip the gold coin to reveal numerous treats such as 33 additional spins with a 15X multiplier.

Alongside Fu Chi and Shanghai Lights which recently launched at Springbok and Slotastic, Cai Hong successfully continues the on-going trend of highly volatile editions with Chinese elements. Other games like Fantasy Mission Force and Eagle Shadow Fist celebrate the world’s most famous martial arts master and stuntman Jackie Chan, who is accompanied by explosive bonus features to maximize player’s wins.

Thunderbolt Casino supports games that are played in national currency called Rands, and it is certainly one of the most beloved online gaming platforms in South Africa. The promotional offer on Cai Hong is subject to wagering requirements whereby maximum cashout is capped at R500. A huge selection of real money slots and table games from related software giants is also on offer.

Steve Wynn has notified Wynn Resorts that he plans to sell his shares, potentially pre-empting a decision by regulators in Massachusetts and Nevada to force him to do so.

It will surprise some of you to know that our extensive portfolio of online casinos will soon be enhanced by another gaming venue, but most of you will be completely blown away after making acquaintance with CasinoWishes! That’s right, LCB is getting ready to introduce a brand new site full of dazzling welcome deals, hot releases from leading ­software companies, low entry deposits and safe payment providers.

Established in 2018 and licensed by three major regulatory bodies the UK, Malta and Curacao, the casino is guaranteed a solid start and players can expect numerous benefits just for becoming a member. Starting with a £20 deposit, newly registered customers will be offered a choice of up to three bonuses stretching to the amount of £500 GBP! Stakes can range between £20 and £200 whilst carrying 200% on first, 50% on second and 100% on third successful wager. Moreover, the offer is valid for slot games only and it has an expiry date of 30 days.

The game library will consist of highly preferred releases from the industry’s top-ranked software providers like NetEnt, Microgaming, Play’n GO, NYX, IGT, Playson and Genii. For those who are not that familiar with their work, here is a couple of titles to refresh your memory: Gonzo’s Quest, Jack and the Beanstalk, Mermaids Millions, Game of Thrones – 243 Ways, Tower Quest, Fire Flies, Pharaoh’s Fortune, Water Dragons, Thunder Reels and more. We also expect to see an extensive collection of live dealer games such as Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat.

The operator has also confirmed two secure banking methods: Trustly, an online payment service with fast and safe payouts and credit card support. Nevertheless, bear in mind that CasinoWishes accepts only customers from the United Kingdom and low wagering requirements on bonus funds prior to cashout are included.

LCB newest winner of the week is also one of LCB latest members. Still a "newbie," he joined LCB in February of this year. He is a father with a two-year-old daughter and they live in Ontario, Canada.

This new member calls himself ”WilliamDafoe!" Now, if you think that he's the actor of the same name, you couldn't be more wrong, but his name is not a misnomer either. He has a very good reason for making this famous name his own and when we asked him, this is what he said: "The name william dafoe came because I am a twitch streamer named Billy which mean william. And I am canadian and love hockey and there used to be a goalie by the last name dafoe. There you have the william dafoe!!"

We asked WD what casinos he likes and where he was playing at when he had the big hit on "Bonanza;" WD told us that he was playing at Casilando Casino, but that his favorite casino is Slotsmillion Casino.

Big Time Gaming's Bonanza Slot is a five reel video slot based on a gem mining theme. This game has an interesting three reel tier above, adding another dimension and possibly bigger wins. It has an amazing, 117649 ways to win, features cascading reels and a freespin bonus with an add on games feature. This game screams fun!

Specifically, WD cashed out a total of $1,600 on an .80 bet! It all happened at a Caddell Casino where he was playing "Bonanza!" He played for several hours with nothing to brag about, but then, FINALLY, "I hit 22 spins on bonanza and won 1100x"

We asked WilliamDafoe, how did you feel about seeing that big win: "When I hit that amount of money I thought FINALLY I have been playing that slot for AGES without a really good win. So it was relief and excitement."

When WD posted the winning video he said: "This took me about 200k spins and 1 year to get."

Are there any plans for the winnings, "Im going on a trip out east so this money will pay for my hotel stays" WilliamDafoe is also engaged to be married, later this summer.

Looks like LCB new member is on a lucky streak!

The nearly 90 people who thought they had won money in Station Casinos’ “bad beat jackpot” poker promotion had to wait more than nine months to cash in.

There is a really great Latin saying that often proves to be true: nomen est omen – meaning, “the name is a sign.” Well, that certain names can indicate big things we already know and will take for granted after today's story in which a slot called Mega Fortune Dreams made someone's mega dreams a reality.

On March 7th, one extremely lucky player from Sweden, a regular punter at Unibet Casino, was taking their chances at NetEnt's triple progressive jackpot game Mega Fortune Dreams. The game of 5-reel, 3-row, 20-payline variety proved to be a life-changing choice for this player who soon witnessed a message on a screen that most of us fantasize seeing: a total jackpot of €4,084,430 has been won, effectively turning this player's life upside down for the better!

This is some start for NetEnt and the jackpots they're paying out, since earlier this year, in January, a €2.5 million jackpot was hit on Mega Fortune.

While we couldn't reach the lucky player for a comment (presumably, still in a state of positive shock), NetEnt's Chief Product Officer, Henrik Fagerlund, wasted no time with congratulating the winner: “At NetEnt, this is what we do: thrilling entertainment. We’re delighted that Mega Fortune Dreams™ has created yet another multi-millionaire. The game is a real favourite and we hope 2018 continues to be a great year for more and more lucky players!”

We send the fondest congratulatory messages to the winner, as well. Any ideas what you would do with that amount of money won on a slot game? Feel free to share your ideas in comments below…

Rival Gaming is getting ready to release its latest video slot Party Parrot this week. Meanwhile, popular betting site, Slots Capital, is launching introductory bonuses to celebrate the occasion. This entire weekend (March 15h and March 18th) depositing members will be given a chance to gather a promotional 20 spins on the featured title or seize an additional 50 rounds after making a deposit until the end of the month.

According to the manufacturer’s description, Party Parrot is a vivid game with expanding wild features and free spins bonuses. To trigger 20 extra rounds players must activate the free spins icon and exploit the sticky Wilds. By doing so, another spin will kick in and stay on the screen during the remaining re-spin rounds. Apart from standard symbols, creators have included an atlas of exotic feathered creatures such as Toucans and Flamingos, although the highest value mark is a hungry Pelican. As far as it goes for a betting range, developers have set a betting limit from one to ten coins per line. Furthermore, coins can be specified at a standard sequence between $0.01 and $0.25.

Introductory bonuses and extra spins demand a previous deposit, however the maximum cash out for 20 rounds is capped at $180. Players who decide to participate must use the bonus code, PARTY 20, and play between March 15th and 18th, 2018. On the other hand, for a $25 deposit, active members can gather up to 50 free spins and go for the jackpot as no maximum limits on payouts are imposed. The bonus code, PARROT 50, can be used only until Saturday, March 31st, 2018.

Equally important is the casino’s 300% deposit bonus offer on the Shamrock Isle slot, which goes all the way to $1,500. The promo is available for stakes ranging between $35 and $500 with a special 40x playthrough term which is obligatory. Have a look at the casino’s huge portfolio of Rival Gaming slots and use the opportunity to score some big winnings during the weekend. Best of luck!
