Pure Vegas - Tied to Rushmore Group (?)

[winbig]

Ok, when I was loading up Slots Oasis' site last night to re-download the software and play, I noticed an odd domain name come up in the status bar (bottom bar) of my browser. Don't ask me why, but I tend to notice such things, especially when they're out of place.

This domain is cdnng.net, or more specifically, files
were being pulled from so.cdnng.net - see below:



The only sites hosted on cdnng.net are Cherry Red, Rushmore, and Pure Vegas.

Upon further research, I found out that the server cdnng.net is used for hosting their shockwave animations, javascript, CSS sheets, etc., that the Rushmore group websites are known for. A search via google further proves this - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&s...&aq=f&aqi=&oq=

Ignore the first several hits, because these days google likes to throw "did you mean:" bit in there nowadays.

If you don't want to sift through the google hits, here's links that tie it all together:

http://cr.cdnng.net/flash/header.swf
http://so.cdnng.net/flash/topmenu.swf
http://pv.cdnng.net/flash/home_top.swf

And the first several lines of the HTML source of Slots Oasis' main page:

So....why is Rushmore claiming that they're not affiliated with Pure vegas and vice versa?

There's been speculation about Pure Vegas being tied to Rushmore, so this serves as further proof of the connection.

I've made the Pure Vegas rep and Louise aware of this thread, so hopefully they may shed some light on this subject. The Pure Vegas rep simply ignored any and all allegations that were made in that thread when they posted, so we'll see.

As if any further proof was needed (which is a predatory bonus, btw)

Where is the transparency in this? Why launch a new casino and have it separate from your well-known brands? Even the affiliate program is separate.

The first thing that Pure Vegas did when I initiated a withdrawal was to send me an email prompting me to reverse it and give me a 40% bonus. I could do it umpteen times until I either decide not to reverse finally or bust. Shouldnt they at least smoothen your first withdrawal instead of resorting to these tricks.

I hope this casino isnt linked to the Rushmore group but the evidence seems to indicate otherwise.

Which deposit methods are banned from bonuses - could be another clue.

If they are lying, and they ARE connected, we WILL find out, and then they could look VERY silly indeed

Time will tell.

Reminds me of Grand Prive - lying about Big Dollar being one of theirs, and then getting BUSTED by players who found that it WAS a "secret" Grand Prive skin. There was also the other Grand Prive casino, launched to market to the Euopeans. They emailed players on the main Grand Prive database, and when one of us posted about the mailer, and at how the info MUST have come from Grand Prive, said player was asked to REMOVE the post because it revealed something that Grand Prive was trying to hide (the connection). Naturally, this only drew MORE attention to the matter, the complete opposite of what they were trying to achieve by asking for the post to be removed.

Their certainly IS a connection here between Rushmore and Pure Vegas, but what is it? It could be a matter of employing the same company between them to produce their images and animations, hosted on that companies own server.

Which doesn't explain the fact that they have the exact same bonuses, etc.

[HeyMikey]

Well if they are running off the same servers then the reels will spin for a long time like they do on the Rushmore group

With all the bad pulic posting, not surprised they are denying it. Probably just doing so to get the players to play there, who hate the Rushmore group

I seriously hope that's not the case..it's better to wait for the 'official' word instead of making judgements this early.

Hello everyone,

Apologies I didn't get to this sooner but I now hope to be able to clear this up!

We (the owners and operators of the Rushmore group) provide certain services to Pure Vegas Casino such as customer support for example so this is the reason why there are some similarities between us and Pure Vegas. With that being said, the Rushmore group and the Pure Vegas group are two totally separate companies with different owners.

Thanks,

Louise
Rushmore, Cherry Red & Slots Oasis Rep.

Louise,

You said Rushmore 'provided services' to Pure Vegas not sharing services with them. That's a first I 've seen in the industry but there's always a first in everything.


They must be great copycats though because this does not explain why they have the same bonuses as the Rushmore casinos although the 400% SUB is conspicuous by its absence. With your revelation I expect that no further evidence will crop up as them being one and the same. Otherwise, it will do much harm to your integrity.
