June is officially known as the “Camping Month,” and Slots Capital is celebrating the Great Outdoors campaign by tripling players’ deposits and offering free spins on Rival’s popular slot, Cleopatra’s Coins throughout June. Additionally, the casino’s famous blogger, Slots Lotty, will insert a couple of amazing stories and adventures into the promotion’s fun section, just to make your time around the campfire even more fantastic.

Whilst making final preps for this month’s incredible outdoor adventures, including protection against the sun, as well as biting mosquitoes, Lotty expressed the thrill of camping as a great way to spend your time with friends and family. It is always exciting and fun to spend some time outdoors, and even research shows that camping makes one happier and relaxed. However, it also shows that camping requires larger amounts of insect repellents, but Lotty had to find it out the hard way in a tight tent. Nevertheless, she is keen on going again, as further bonus inspiration for the upcoming Jurassic Park movie requires appropriate scenery – one, where a true dinosaur expedition might have occured.

To collect all Camping Month casino treats, which include a tripled 300% deposit bonus, a coupon code, LOVINGJUNE300, and some playthrough requirements, players will have to join from Friday, June 1st and play until Saturday, June 30th, 2018. No cash out limits will be imposed, and the maximum deposit is capped at $500. In addition, for placing a minimum $25 deposit, funded members will receive 50 free spins on Cleopatra’s Coins. This offer is running from June 7th to June 14th only, so make sure to read all terms & conditions before joining.

If you prefer Egyptian-themed slots with scatters, free spins and innovative bonus rounds, head to Slots Capital today and enjoy a royal welcome, plus dozens of Rival Gaming’s exclusive games extending from table games to progressive jackpots. You can also try the latest addition to the portfolio, Lucky Labyrinth, where every spin leads to colossal wins! Good luck!

Fourteen former hair stylists and nail technicians at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’ Violet Hour salon have filed a lawsuit inClark County District Court against the resort’s parent company.

With a possible strike looming, the Culinary Union has released survey results showing widespread sexual harassment and safety concerns at Las Vegas casinos.

South Point owner Michael Gaughan is one of the few remaining “old-school” (as industry followers call him) Las Vegas casino operators.

Casino game developer giant, NetEnt, has announced on Tuesday that they've named Therese Hillman as the company's new CEO, effective immediately. The decision was announced by the Board of Directors after they've expressed satisfaction with Hilman's efforts and success as the company's acting CEO since former chief executive, Per Eriksson, was dismissed in March of this year. She served as the company's Chief Financial Officer since January 2017.

Prior to that, she was notable for working in the e-commerce industry for a decade and being a CEO of Gymgrossisten. Hilman, who has an M.Sc in Accounting and Finance from Stockholm School of Economics, was also a member of Unibet's Board.

Therese has a clear business focus and is an appreciated leader with great energy. NetEnt is pioneering the online gaming industry and is taking the next step to be at the forefront of business focus and innovation. With Therese’s abilities, we get the right person to lead the company in the next growth phase.”

Hillman was honored to be appointed as CEO of such a successful company and said: “It is with great enthusiasm, but also humility, that I am taking on the role as Group CEO of NetEnt.

The future of cryptocurrencies is constantly being watched and debated, due to their inconsistent nature and unsustained volatility. However, the opinion of PayPal’s CFO, John Rainey, is quite different on the matter, especially after telling the mainstream media that the renowned company for online payments could provide additional support for Bitcoin. According to him, the main reason for the troublesome merchant settlements lies within the currency’s unpredictability, which is why the electronic commerce company cannot see a lot of interest regarding its acceptance.

The volatility of major cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin, Ethereum or Dogecoin is currently bad for business, pursuant to Rainey, as merchants who accept payments in digital assets could lose a lot of money even on simple transactions. At present, a ten percent margin on a product could move the very next day to fifteen percent and so on, explains CFO.

PayPal started implementing Bitcoin payments in 2015 via its integrated system Braintree. Nevertheless, the currency’s volatility had numerous ups and downs since then, leaving all merchants in unfavorable situation of constant converting their funds to fiat. By comparing the Braintree with Lightning, Rainey also pointed out a distinct disparity between the fees and processing times, saying that a 2.9% plus a $0.30 expense per transaction remains stable whatsoever, whilst the Lightning’s capacity is just under $170,000.

To finalize, Rainey said that PayPal does consider a full support policy regarding Bitcoin, but only if the asset stabilizes and becomes a more predictible currency. In case that relevant capabilites of crypto continue to pressure both merchants and fiat-based solutions, no long-term support will be established, and fees will continue to vary tensely, which basically takes us back to the startline, doesn’t it?

During World War 2, Betty Grable was an attractive blond singer, dancer and actress. She made musical comedies where she played cute but not too bright college girls and starred with many handsome leading men including Tyrone Power, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Jon Payne.

She starred in a movie titled 'Million Dollar Legs.' A publicity agent came up with a brilliant idea to promote the film and Grable's career: her legs were insured for $1 million. A photo of her in a one-piece white bathing suit was circulated worldwide and Grable became the most famous pinup in U.S. history. Many GIs carried her photo with them into battle in Germany and the South Pacific.

Betty, a native of St. Louis, MO., was married twice. She wed child star Jackie Coogan and they stayed married two years before their divorce. Then she married big band leader Harry James and they remained married until her death of lung cancer at the age of 57.

Were Betty Grable's legs really worth a million dollars? They probably were to her publicity agent and the film production companies that made those spectacular star-studded musical comedies of the 1940s and '50s.

But I have news for Hollywood: Arizona and especially Phoenix has more gorgeous girls with million dollar legs than the entire city of Los Angeles. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

While Hugh Hefner made his millions with his nude centerfolds in Playboy Magazine, the average American male has always enjoyed a fixation on a woman's legs.

Just visit Talking Stick or Wild Horse Pass Casino any Friday, Saturday or Sunday. This must be the Year of the Leg because I have never seen so many beautiful young women dressed in scanty designer dresses that show off their million dollar legs to the nth degree.

They come to the casinos in twos, threes or groups. Sometimes they arrive with their boyfriends or husbands, but more often they show up alone to play poker, roulette, the slots or just to sit at one of the bars to sip on a fancy cocktail with an umbrella in the mix.

Betty Grable's World War 2 pinup photo would look like a Girl Scout calendar compared to the hot leggy photos a photographer could take of some of these beauties. All I can do is shake my head and wish I had been born 20 or 30 years later.

I mentioned this to a young valet attendant who was parking cars at Talking Stick. He understood my point immediately.

'Where do they get those outfits?' he said, shaking his head. 'They're so revealing it's unbelievable. It's so distracting that it's lucky some of the valets don't have head-on collisions in the parking lot.'

Toward the end of her career, Betty Grable co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in 'How To Marry A Millionaire.' While the producers of the film tried to fan a rivalry war between the blond beauties, Betty and Marilyn developed a genuine liking for each other.

Grable even had some advice for the up and coming Marilyn. She knew her years of stardom were nearing an end and one day she told Monroe, 'Honey, I got mine. Now it's time you got yours. Go for it.' And Marilyn did.

I don't know who invented the mini-skirt, but whoever it did the male species a great favor. Mini-skirts started out short but over the years they have been getting shorter and shorter. I wonder what they will be like in 2025?

I think I'll just have to buy myself a pair of dark glasses and go play poker.

Unions representing Las Vegas casino workers won the right Tuesday to call a citywide strike as early as June 1 if they do not reach an agreement with employers.

Online casino operator, Jetbull, has signed a new strategic partnership according to which they will go live with tailored retention services provided by Enteractive. Jetbull will, therefore, employ the finest customer service assistance for their operations in German, Austrian, Swiss, Finnish and Swedish markets.

Enteractive is a leading provider of player retention solutions for the iGaming industry, founded in 2008 by their current CEO, Mikael Hansson. Their services help return churned players into action while player support makes sure active users stay with the operators on board while playing the game. Their services are based on chat moderation – they use the contact data operators provided so they can talk to inactive players, after which they apply a unique (re)activation method with personal one-on-one calls. Enteractive also provides support in native languages as well as license reporting that will flag vulnerable users.

With this deal, Jetbull has effectively outsourced their live chat, e-mail and social media support to Enteractive who will provide all of the usual services and more 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This tailored service is meant for improving the relationship between the operator and their active player base.

Hansson comments: “Partnering with Jetbull is a significant agreement for us and we’re thrilled to be working alongside them. By handling all inbound communications with their players throughout the day with quality support, we’ll be able to improve loyalty and the lifetime value of players for the operator. As part of our service, Enteractive support staff have undergone thorough training to understand Jetbull’s brand, culture and demographics, ensuring the operator can focus on other areas of the business.”

Jetbull CEO, Viorel Stan, says: “We’re thrilled to have secured Enteractive’s Customer Support service and have been really impressed with the early results of their engagement with our players. Providing excellent support to our players is a high priority for us and with the help of Enteractive who are highly skilled in this area, we are very confident it will lead to improved loyalty of customers.”

Leading B2B service provider and operator in the iGaming industry, Gaming Innovation Group will integrate Nolimit City games on its award-winning in-house brands, after signing a multi-year content deal with the supplier. The extensive partner network includes famous casino brands such as GUTS, Super Lenny, Betspin and other popular platforms for online betting that recently joined.

Mathias Larsson, managing director at GiG games services, is excited about the newly signed agreement due to the provider’s versatile gaming catalog and players’ extended accessibility on a wide range of sites.

The peer-to-peer integration will be delivered through a direct API thanks to the standalone RGS platform by Nolimit which uses a powerful engine for large volumes of play.

By joining one of the greatest networks in the industry, whose efficiency has been widely recognized, our portfolio will be even more accessible in the future across many regulated markets, added Mizzi.

GiG was founded in 2012 and it is publicly listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The company has been chasing its vision ever since, trying to make iGaming fair and fun for everyone, of course, through an extraordinary complex system of products and even more exceptional services.

Not the brightest piece of news for crypto enthusiasts in Macau – Paulo Martins Chan, Gaming Inspection and Co-ordination Bureau Director, stated during the G2E Asia Conference on Wednesday that Macau will not be authorizing cryptocurrency-related gambling operations. Not any time soon, in any case.

He said: “There have been no cryptocurrencies accepted in casinos and these products have not been officially introduced in Macau. […] We put a focus on financial security and from our knowledge, the Macao Monetary Authority (AMCM) also does not encourage the use or products in the market, especially in the gaming sector. We haven’t authorised any cryptocurrency related product.”

As of now, cryptocurrency deals are not illegal for private parties but AMCM has recently stated that cryptocurrencies are illegal and has urged the residents of Macau not to invest in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin.

Last month, one of the residents of Macau was arrested for fraud through promotion of sales of virtual currencies, with SJM gaming operator being the target. Company, Dragon Coin, intends to launch their own junket operations based on cryptocurrencies in Q2 of this year. Their objective was to raise $500 million with the help of local junket partners. Martins Chan has explained that DICJ, “immediately stated in co-operation with AMCM that that company doesn’t belong to any gaming operator in Macau, any junket operator or VIP gaming promotor, so it doesn’t have any relationship with Macau.”

As the dust settles on this past week’s historic Supreme Court announcement involving sports wagering — which everybody was fully expecting, by the way — we’re starting to see how plans to capitalize on nationwide sports wagering will shake out.

The chairwoman of a Wynn Resorts Ltd. committee investigating allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against Steve Wynn said more than 100 people have been interviewed so far.

LCB can sometimes work as a crystal ball, for we have insight into the future… No, we are not soothsayers, nor do we have any shred of clairvoyance whatsoever – it just happens to be that we have a few birdies out there who do let out a chirp or two about things to come. So, for instance we can foresee that in August of this year, we will have another new casino launched under the mysterious moniker of Untold Casino!

While there is certainly not much to go by at this point, Untold Casino’s official site is still under construction and there you'll find an enigmatic figure next to an even more enigmatic gambling machine, executed in a style that is reminiscent of cubism or modern art at least. The “under construction” meter shows that the website is about ¾ done and if you subscribe to the site's newsletter now, you will get a double welcome bonus! We know for sure that the casino will feature both slot and table games, powered by Finnplay and has UKGC and MGA licenses. The website will be aimed at, but not limited to, UK, Canada, Germany and Scandinavian countries.

Way more info is known about the VOLT, a Malta-licensed, Wazdan-powered online casino that already has a NetEnt, Microgaming and BeeFee suite of games on hand. Aiming to be “the lightning bolt in the online casino world,” the electrifying web venue already has a website set up, which features a slick, modern design dominated by teal and white colors. Slot games, as well as table games, video poker and sports betting can be enjoyed at this casino which presents newbies with a special welcome offer over the first three deposits – with only 1x wagering requirement, newcomers get 150 extra spins.

Wazdan, who is making their entire portfolio available at VOLT Casino, had their Head of Sales Andrzej Hyla comment on this latest venture: “Wazdan's games deliver a feature-rich experience for players, that's why we selected them with Microgaming and NetEnt. We believe our initial line-up provides amazing choice for players. We look forward to being a spark that ignites passion in the players.”

VOLT Casino's Daphne Xerri says: “We hope to build on this relationship in future with more Wazdan content being made available to VOLT Casino and our growing customer base. Our games have been a popular choice with players across multiple jurisdictions and brands so are a good strategic choice by VOLT Casino. We wish VOLT Casino every success with their electrifying new venture.”

LCB will be bringing you updates on both of these casinos as more news appear, so stay tuned and watch this space…

Wynn Resorts Ltd.’s recent addition of three women to its board of directors is only the beginning of the company’s cultural diversity movement.

When the owners of M Resort showed an interest in Henderson, city officials made things as accommodating as possible — they even deferred payments for several years.

As everyone who has the bare minimum of experience with slots knows, Mega Moolah is one hell of a slot game – not least because it regularly produces some pretty mind-blowing jackpots that have people rubbing their eyes at first, possibly needing a resuscitation afterwards and finally jumping in ecstasy for their life just took a turn for the fast lane, totally out of the blue.

In fact, this Microgaming masterpiece is still the undisputed world record holder (Guinness Book of World Records has it all in black and white) for the “Largest jackpot payout in an online slot machine game” from October 2015 and for generating the largest ever mobile jackpot win in August 2016.

We are happy to see this reputation untarnished as this year has been no exception when it comes to massive payouts on this game. A punter of Grand Mondial Casino won a staggering amount of €4,603,056.85 on April 19th! The super-lucky player has earned his winnings in one piece, because all of Microgaming's progressive jackpots are paid out in a total sum and not in installments. In fact, the supplier’s progressive jackpot network has cashed out a mega jackpot in each month of 2018 so far!

Let's revisit this year's timeline of epic wins on Microgaming's jackpot network. First, we had that stunning start to the year when on January 14th a €2,424,117.20 jackpot was cashed out at Zodiac Casino. On February 27th, there was another behemoth of a win, totaling €4,769,344.11 – this happened to a player from Royal Vegas Casino. On March 8th, a €4,365,843.63 jackpot was hit on Captain Cook's Casino.

And now for the cruncher, brace yourselves; to date, the brand’s progressive jackpot network has paid out...over €874 million!

Naturally, this made quite an impression on David Reynolds, Games Publisher: “We all thought 2017 would be a hard year to top after the network paid out over €150 million in jackpots, but 2018 is shaping up to be a huge year for Microgaming’s progressive jackpot network! Multi-millionaires have been made each month so far and we are incredibly proud to offer the largest progressive jackpot network in the industry.”
