Finally, lol. Haven't even gotten past Casino Of The Year yet. I was just so happy to see that for the third year running he has chosen 32Red. And he described them so aptly, a class act all the way!! Congrats Ed, Pat and all the people behind the scenes at the best casino on the net!!

Don't forget to tune in to the webcast and listen to Vortran rip the envelopes to shreads - he does that every year:

I hope he doesn't eat the excess paper?

Well done CM. An excellent read too.

Wow!

Very wonderful surprise today.

Thank you kindly Mr. Bailey, and to make a webcast... well...

YEE-HA!!!

The only thing that can top this would be to win something similar to what Gramma, RobWin, or Bing had won via progressive slots.

Thank you to polli123 (the creator), those who contributed to his/her "Winner Screenshots" thread by posting their wins, and to those who enjoyed reading that particular thread (and Pinababy69).

Thank you Casinomeister, for providing us with this incredible forum. There's a wonderful community of people who come to this site and fill it up with color.

Sidenote: Again, I apologize for getting some of the currencies wrong, and for not being able to recognize (and properly tabulate) all the winner screenshots that were posted.

Sidenote II: Very fitting that the intro music used for that webcast was "Depeche Mode". It was the first big concert I had ever attended, way back when they were on tour for the "Violator" album.

Good to see iGlobalMedia winning the "Head in the Sand" award for not bothering to correct blatant flaws in their software

There's poetic justice as well. From reading another forum it seems they also left a flaw in their BJ uncorrected for months (despite someone actually telling them

). That gave players an edge on the house and must have cost the casinos at least tens of thousands of dollars (& probably much more)

Some good entries. Here's a handful, with threads for reference:

Joyland:

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...l-request.html

Even not counting the winnings on the "error" comp point setting, a 20K royal still unpaid. Playtech apparently indifferent.

iGlobalMedia:

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...re-glitch.html

and...

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...ds-trick.html?

Need to ask why iGlobalMedia's heads are in the sand? Look at Party Poker's $200,000,000 annual take-home pay - they just don't need to bother.

Gambling Federation:

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...are.html?pp=10

On the basis of they lost their membership of the iGGBA, IGC and even the GPWA affiliate association. Quite some achievement.

And I beg indulgence:

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...gs-stolen.html

After Bryan intervened, the player got his DEPOSITS back - they were intending to hang onto everything. Player was first accused of multi-accounts. Disproved, so he was then lamely accused of a "gambling scheme"; still owed $7000; attempted resolution with the GPWA. Result: thread locked.

Malware and grand larceny. Good job, GFed.

Cooks:

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...p-trouble.html

Players accused of "skimming" and "deceptive wagering". Owners hightail it, Casino Rewards takes over and pays.

Golden Palace:

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...p-babies.html?

In their quest for the ultimate harmless, adorable prank, Golden Palace pays a young mother $15,000 to name her child...Golden Palace.

http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...ic-stunt.html?

In the name of good, clean fun, Golden Palace sabotaged the Olympic Games. As a result, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission actually sanctioned and fined them, though no details of the fine were ever released.

Gambling Federation:

Alas the GPWA have recently allowed them back in

I attended the Webmbley date on that tour. Very good, but as a long time fan previous, i attended their "smaller" gigs at Hammersmith Odeon, a muvh more personal venue and much much better. The atmosphere was unbelievable back on the early tours and the sweat just poured off you
