RoyalJoker no longer Intertops?

De Beuker — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:21:55 GMT

Just re-downloaded RoyalJoker casino, and noticed that on their website it says its a Jackpot Factory Group casino :confused:
Maybe I've missed something, last time I played there it was Intertops sistercasino.
Looks like Intertops have now fully switched to RTG.

Best Basic Inexpensive Casino Script

exodusms — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:50:08 GMT

I have been looking around the forums trying to find an answer to my question but can not seem to find anything.

I wanted to know if someone knew of a casino script/code that had a few casino games like roulette,craps, and blackjack that I could buy. The script does not need to have the ability to deposit real money or anything super fancy. Simply I want people to be able to play for points etc.

If you could point me in the right direction I would love you forever. :)

PartyGaming buys World Poker Tour

PartyGaming buys World Poker Tour
PartyGaming has signalled its intention to return to the American market when legislation allows with the $12.3m (£7.3m) purchase of the assets of poker tournament organiser WPT Enterprises.

The internet poker and casino operator completed the acquisition yesterday, gaining control of the World Poker Tour brand and other assets, despite a last-minute attempt by Los Angeles-based Mandalay Media to break up the deal.

Mandalay made an indicative $36.5m proposal for the whole of WPT Enterprises – but it was rejected in favour of PartyGaming’s asset deal.

Aside from the brand, the deal brings PartyGaming the rights to land-based events in the US and Europe, 150 hours of poker programming, and 16,500 paying players for a subscription poker offering. A revenue-sharing deal will see PartyGaming pay at least $3m more over three years.

GOP Rejects Calls For Gambling Ban Delay

GOP Rejects Calls For Gambling Ban Delay

Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl and Financial Services Committee ranking member Spencer Bachus wrote to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke this week opposing calls to delay by a year the implementation of a 2006 law that banned Internet gambling in the United States. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act directed the Treasury and Federal Reserve to issue regulations by July 2007. After a lengthy process, the final rules are set to take effect on Dec. 1.

"There is no justification for delaying the compliance date for the long-overdue regulations implementing UIGEA," Bachus and Kyl wrote. If the final rule represented an "unreasonable burden on regulators and the financial services industry," as some lawmakers have claimed, the Treasury and Federal Reserve could have reconsidered the regulations early in the new administration and before the industry began taking steps to comply. This did not happen and the financial services sector did not petition to have the rule amended, they wrote.
