Has anyone heard of/read anything about The Mandarin Palace?

Vinyl, I thought rtg had to change because of copyright infringement laws, someone can correct me if that is not the case. If any of them were child like, it was the ones they re branded IMO, Sherlock was the only adult theme.

This MIGHT explain Rapunzel and Pinnochio, but even here, copyright would have expired on the original stories, and thus the characters (50 years after death of author).
Tutankhamen - no way is this copyright - who would have it, a 5000 year old king

Sherlock Holmes, not sure, when did Conan Doyle die, copyright would end 50 years after. Later TV series might be a problem though, and they may have gotten the game withdrawn.

RTG seems to have caved in without a fight, but should not have been so specific in naming the slots in the first place.

3 Dice ALSO have a "Tut ankh amun" slot game, so if this is OK - so should the RTG version be.

Other softwares often use cartoon characters, but made up ones, NOT ones that children would have grown up with, which might encourage them to gamble. UK FRuit Machines DO use characters that children could relate to, Sonic the Hedgehog inspired a series of Fruit Machines, and so did the newspaper cartoon strip "Andy Capp".
I have yet to see a Spongebob Squarepants fruitie, but if I do, I'll see if it takes square coins

Ok, wow, you have forced me to look up Tutankhamen, lol. I really didn't even know what the heck that was, I do now. All I knew was that I rarely do well in the bonus at 3D in it.

You are right, RTG never really explained, I just assumed. I do know that Sherlock Homes was around just recently with a child or teenage version, and yes it still airs late at night sometimes. They still sale promotional items for the theme. I know because my son wanted that hat and faux pipe for halloween a few years back. It makes you wonder how much Three Stooges/Coyote cost them.

Its funny you should mention "Andy Capp", as I just returned from a B&M where I played the slot machine. They have Betty Boop as well. Thanks for the knowledge.

just figured I'd pop my head in and see if CM has had a chance to review this place. Since my last (and only) withdrawal from mandarin palace, I haven't played. Only thing I've noticed is that this place was sending out emails like twice a weekend telling me there were all kinds of bonuses and free money. Got really annoying. But they have since slowed to like 1 a month. I've also gotten a couple emails, and 1 snail mail letter asking me if everything was okay, if they did something wrong and how they wished I would come back.

Not sure what happened with the other guy (the guy that got banned) but I swear I'm a real person, not affiliated with this casino... not really sure how I could prove that. I just don't want to be tagged as a troll too.

As far as where they get addresses from... the only 2 places I've played in the past were Spin Palace and Blackjack Ballroom not sure if BJB is a prive casino (I really hated that place though, only played, and lost there, a couple times), but I'm pretty sure Spin wouldn't sell the customer list... anyways, I'm hoping the CM will be able to check this place out... If there is some way to prove I don't represent this place, let me know. Just don't want my posts to be dismissed as junk.

No, Blackjack Ballroom is one of Casino Rewards 18 MG casinos. It's possible someone from this huge group let some details go at some time.

Until proven otherwise, I still think Mandarin must be assumed to be part of Grand Prive and therefore should sit firmly in the rogue pit. No-one from Mandarin has ever come to this forum, or any other that I know of to deny the connection - the silence speaks volumes!

BTW, I'm sure no-one thinks you're a troll - post whatever you want!

I stopped getting e-mails also....curious. I was also kind of waiting on CM's opinion on this place.

I never wondered how they got my snail mail address , probably should have. I don't think I have ever been a customer of the Grand Prive places, however I was with Spin Palace before they booted us pitiful USer's. Could it be them that passed along our info? I hate to think it because that was my favorite casino they really treated me well. I only had a few casino accounts online so not sure how they could have gotten it.

Did splitem say someone got banned from Mandarin btw?
I missed seeing that post, yikes. (Or maybe he meant the people who could not get an account yet because of the strange way Mandarin was starting up with customer base).

I received 2 CD's since the OP and never even played at a GP casino in fun or real mode, nor am I an affiliate.

I have played at BJB as a real player and also have an affiliate account.

**bonustreak** · 18th July 2009, 06:01 PM

Just got another cd this week most noteworthy is the fact that I received only 1 where as I usually get 2 the second in my deceased husbands name. Now this is really funny since about a month ago I got fed up with GP txt'ing me bonus offers and I called there and had a huge fit to get my # and my name off the mailing list. I also told them it was tasteless to continue to send cd's to my deceased husband. Things that make you go hmmmmm.. One thing is for sure they will not stay hidden for long.

Now a rumor... I heard this is maybe the x biz partner at GP who split up and ventured out on his own.... Like I said a rumor.
Me personally I think Elvis and Michael are not really dead and they own it =)

**slotheadlizard** · 18th July 2009, 06:10 PM

LOL

Plus I heard Tupac, and Biggie own a small cut

**Mousey** · 18th July 2009, 08:48 PM

I received a second disk yesterday. Replaced the previous one I was using as a coaster for my morning cuppas here at the computer. And it's going to continue to do so until I get some real info on this joint.
