Dear Readers,

The last couple of weeks have been a bit crazy. There was no newsletter last week since I had family from the states visiting, and I was playing tour guide. Checked out some of the castles around here; went to Bayreuth, the home of Wagner, and did a lot of meandering around. Beautiful weather to boot, and it was a nice break after all that flooding.

If you came to Casinomeister on the 11th, you'd have noticed that the site was shut down for about 24 hours in respect for those who perished in the terrorist attacks and for those still suffering. Over 3000 children lost one of their parents that day. Casinomeister was replaced by an image of an American flag on the WTC framed by a broken window frame. Some of you asked where I found this image, it's from a photo essay located here entitled "Shattered". I thought it was only appropriate.

On another note, I'll be leaving for Vegas this next week for the G2E and I plan to be meeting lots of interesting and bizarre people. One highlighted event will be meeting with the CEO of RTG. If you have any constructive comments you'd like me to pass on to them, send them to me. Or if you'd like to hook up with me in Vegas (or Vancouver during the CAC for that matter), just drop me a line.

Busily yours,

Bryan

Still hanging in

Rumour that Pyramid Casino.com and its sisters in the Antigua-based Internet Empire Entertainment group have been slower than usual on both player and affiliates payouts culminated in a message board exchange this week that indicates business problems at this reputable and well managed group.

It all started with one of the veteran players revealing that Pyramid had been late and sporadic in making payments and that they had an unspecified cashflow problem. Others chimed in, and it wasn't long before Craig Levett, the wideawake general manager was in there telling it like it is. There is a problem, but they will be seeing it through.

Bet On Us, Binions Casino, Pyramid Poker, Advanced Online Casino, London Picadilly Casino, Riviera Hotel Online Casino and Paris Picasso Casino are all members of the same group.

UISA Casino 365 - is that how long it takes to get paid?

If you like fast payouts USA Casino 365.com may not be for you judging by the latest Gambling Grumble report from Julie Sidwell. She has some poor gambler who has been waiting almost three months for a three-and-a-half grand payout from this Gambling Software Systems powered casino. And, no it's not a bonus or faxback form dispute...this is plain old slow or no pay.

The casino pumped out the usual lame excuse of "A combination of high levels of transactions and a change of processor has caused a small delay in our redemption time. We are on top of the temporary problem and this payment should be completed soon."

That's like saying the check's in the mail these days and it won't wash. It didn't - another three weeks have passed and the player is still waiting. You have of course guessed what comes (or doesn't come) next. Yep - the casino doesn't respond to his emails any more either. Steer clear - you don't need this stress.
