“Snake eyes” takes on a whole new meaning at Lucky Nugget Online Casino next month!

MARK OF MEDUSA is the latest state-of-the-art major video slot going live at Lucky Nugget Online Casino next month, and the theme is unusual enough to have players searching cyberspace for Greek mythology references!
Here’s a look at just a few of the ancient characters from the age of mythology that feature in the brilliantly executed graphics of our latest themed video slot:
Giving her name to the game is Medusa, one of three reptile-coiffured Gorgons so dreadful to look upon that they turned faces to stone. She messed with the Gods and came to a sticky end, but the game bearing her name has much better outcomes! When Medusa lost her head, Pegasus the flying horse came into being and became the winged mount of Bellerophon. After many adventures the fastest horse ever ended up delivering lightning bolts for Zeus.
That really fierce looking three headed dog on the pay-table is Cerberus, who is top-to-tail dangerous with snake accessories and guards the entrance to the ancient Greek underworld, allowing the dead to enter but never to leave. Despite his ferocity this mutt was susceptible to lullabies - go figure.  Finally, the golden helmet, swords and shield are a salute to another offspring of Medusa, a tough and respected giant of a warrior called Chrysaor.
These ancient mythological creatures may provide the theme for MARK OF MEDUSA, but there’s nothing old-fashioned about this 5 reel, 25 pay-line slot powered by one of the fastest and smoothest software engines in the business. This is a video slot that can deliver between 15 and 25 Free Spins at a time with x3 multiplier punch and a re-trigger on the freebies.
Pegasus is the Scatter symbol here: get three and watch the free spins flow, tripling prizes and building winnings. Snake hips (and head) Medusa is Wild, helping to create winning combinations for the player.
Players can bet as little as a 0.01 or up to 0.25 in the quest for big money….and this slot really does deliver big money. In the base game up to 50 000.00 in winnings is achievable, and that can be trebled with free spin good fortune and a maximum bet of 125.00.
 

They would have relished the chance to get at this dragon’s loot! The ancient rivalry between knight and dragon, but with a real twist in the tail is the theme of Lucky Nugget Online Casino latest major video slot, DRAGON’S LOOT.

This 5 reel, 25 pay-line giant of a slot challenges the player to pit fortune and wits against the mythical green and toothy beast, finding the way into the mysterious Dragon’s Lair and the selection of glittering treasures that lie within.

Sharp, modern graphics provide the backdrop for action, with a handsome knight, castles, weapons and a cute maiden all setting the scene and showing the path to reward.  The principal roles here are held by the Knight, who is Wild and therefore substitutes for most other symbols to enable the player to create winning combinations and earn free spins, and of course the Dragon himself.

When three or more of the Dragon symbols spin up on any reel the second screen Dragon’s Loot feature is triggered, sweeping the player into the murky depths of the Dragon’s Lair and presenting a rich selection of 5 golden treasures and the opportunity for the player to choose one. That choice can reveal potential riches of up to 75 Free Spins and up to x8 multiplication of winnings, significantly adding value to the players’ bottom line.

That bottom line can work out at a possible payment in the base game of 20 000.00, but with Free Spin action it can go as high as a fantastic cash haul of 160 000.00

This is a game that is loaded with opportunities for reward and sheer good, gambling fun and thrills, with a wagering range to suit any player, whether it’s 0.01 or 0.20 a line. Dragon’s Loot comes on the time-tested Microgaming Viper software platform, giving fast, smooth gambling and an armoury of player assists.  Try it at Lucky Nugget Online Casino today!

Fears of a rise in problem gambling have been voiced as the biggest overhaul of regulations for decades has come into force. Casinos, online betting sites, bookmakers and other gambling operators can now advertise on television for the first time.

The changes open the door to the first £1 million bingo prize and lift restrictions on casinos, such the requirement for customers to be members. The Government hopes the Gambling Act 2005, which overhauls pieces of legislation dating back as far as 1845, will protect children and vulnerable people, cut crime and ensure games are fair. But the Salvation Army said the new laws allowed for a general increase in the number of gambling premises, particularly betting shops.

“Gambling is not a normal leisure activity,” the organisation said. “Whilst some people enjoy a flutter or bet from time to time, gambling can become addictive and cause many problems. The results can be devastating on the individual, their friends, family, and on society.”

The charity GamCare called on the Government to make changes to the new regulations to force bookmakers, casinos and some online operators to include its helpline number in advertisements. GamCare staff are gearing up for a rise in the volume of calls in the wake of the changes. “An increase in gambling equates to an increase in whatever small proportion of individuals who gamble who get into difficulty,” spokeswoman Nicola Crewe-Read said.

Peter Dean, chairman of the Gambling Commission, insisted there were “strict measures” in place to prevent problems emerging. “I don’t know what the increase is going to be, but what I do know is that there are very strict measures which we have introduced which will certainly help to reduce problem gambling,” he said.

PartyPoker.com has announced an upgrade that includes the opportunity to earn PartyPoints faster; a new level of service and a series of features extending the customer service experience. The upgraded PartyPoints program gives players the chance to earn points at up to 400 percent of the standard rate, and there is potential to hit a private level beyond that. Points can be earned on any of the PartyGaming brands including PartyPoker, PartyCasino, PartyBets, Gamebookers.com, PartyBingo and PartyGammon and exchanged for cash, tournament entries and soon a series of other products and services.

In addition, every VIP is now allocated an experienced host to provide personal service and be the single point of contact for any and all issues on PartyPoker or any other PartyGaming products around the clock. The firm claims that this new offering is the first of its kind in the online gaming industry. “It means someone who knows gaming and knows you will be there for you whatever your gaming needs.” said a PartyPoker.com spokesman.

Three improvements to make players’ experience easier and better are part of the upgrade. The first is to allow for the expansion of the poker table for the larger 1024×768 screen resolution commonly found on today’s monitors. It’s accomplished simply by clicking the maximisation button or dragging the corner of the window. “Players have long been able to shrink our tables to allow many to fit simultaneously on the screen, now single-table players can fill the screen with their gaming experience,” the spokesman said. Easy replays and rematches have also been tweaked. Now when players bust out or win a tournament, they’ll be immediately asked if they would like to play in another one of the same type. One click and the registration for the next event is available. There are also new rematch facilities against the same player with just a click. When the heads-up tournament is finished, each participant will be asked whether they would like to play again. If both click ‘yes’, another heads up will immediately begin. “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up”
