Issue #167
weekly


Dear Reader,

Man, I'm beat. Can't wait til tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday which is the day before this weekend. And this weekend I plan to chill out. You see, it's the last weekend of my early forties as I cruise into my mid-forties on Tuesday the 21st. So I will linger around the house in my sweat pants and partial growth of beard feeling sorry for myself, and dwell on my pending mid-life crisis; moping and sighing, knowing that the end of youth is way over, and that I'm going to start looking weird in frayed bellbottoms saying "groovy" and "totally bitchin'". Ho hum.

And if you feel sorry for me as well, pop in to My Wish List at Amazon.co.uk and buy me something for my birthday.

Shamelessly yours,

Bryan

WORD FROM THE MEISTER
CASINOMEISTER CAUTIONS
This week has been an extremely busy week with problem casinos, so I'll make this brief. To begin with avoid all Futurebet casinos for the time being. I have been receiving complaints from not only players not being paid, but by Futurebet licensees who are fed up with their software provider. I have a partial list here, but this is incomplete since Futurebet casinos spring up like inbred bunnies. If you are a Futurebet player, take this as a word of warning, If you are a Futurebet liscensee, well what can I say, you should have checked out Bethedealer or Gambling Federation and saved yourself some grief.

Gambler's Lobby:

As most of you know, this casino owes a few players a lot of cash. So far I have 5 complaints totaling nearly $13,000 claimed against Gamblers Lobby. These claims have been forwarded to RTG for monitoring. At press time, Gambler's Lobby is being revamped with some new personnel and operatives. The players who are owed cash should be paid within 30 days; they know who they are. If you are a player owed by the "old" Gambler's Lobby. Please fill out the form at "Pitch a Bitch" and I'll make sure someone with a brain gets a hold of it.
NOW FOR SOME GOOD NEWS
City Club Casino is the newest casino on the block at Casinomeister. Powered by Playtech (which by the way I really like), they've been online since July 2001 with nary a complaint. Try their fantastic multi-hand Video Poker, or some of the cool slots. I've even caught myself humming the tune to their Captain's Treasure slots while gardening. I guess I play that game too often.

Anyway, give them a warm welcome and open and account today! As a new player, you have a choice of a 100% match bonus of up to $100 or a 20% bonus up to $200.
Speaking of slots, if you haven't tried Microgaming's newest 5 reel 9 line slots Thunderstruck, you should do so now! This is the best thing since sliced bread! When you get three scatters, a special bonus round begins where you receive 15 free spins and each win in the free spins is tripled! I made a killing yesterday at Crazy Vegas where I won a bonus round within a bonus round on a $4.50 bet. Thunderstruck has been designed to suit all levels of slot players offering 1 to 5 coins per payline and a coin size from $0.01 to $1.00 (a Microgaming first!). You should take this game for a "spin" yuk yuk. Exclusively at Viper powered casinos. Here are a few:
Spin Palace
Captain Cooks Casino
Crazy Vegas Casino
Platinum Play Casino
Lucky Nugget
Grand Hotel Casino
More casinos listed here of course.
Correction: last week I mentioned that 3 Diamond Casino had some contest where you could win a "Diamond Necklace". Well it turned out that this was an old contest that was still up on their website and it wasn't true. When I found out that I was mistaken, I had a drill sergeant flashback and dropped the webmaster for pushups and stamped his meal card "no dessert". Their current promotion is "as of October 1st, receive 20% back on your net losses during the month!" So this may be something you'd want to check out instead.
GONEGAMBLING'S PARACHUTE DROP

3. This week's humor
A driver is stopped by a police officer. The driver asks, "What's the problem officer?"

Officer: "You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone."

Man: "No sir, I was going 65."

Wife: "Oh, Harry. You were going 80." (The man gives his wife a dirty look.)

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a ticket for your broken tail light."

Man: "Broken tail light? I didn't know about a broken tail light!"

Wife: "Oh Harry, you've known about that tail light for weeks." (The man gives his wife another dirty look.)

Officer: "I'm also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seatbelt."

Man: "Oh I just took it off when you were walking up to the car."

Wife: "Oh Harry, you never wear your seatbelt."

The man turns to his wife and yells, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

The Officer turns to the woman and asks, "Ma'am, does your husband talk to you this way all the time?"

The wife says, "No, only when he's drunk."

Are you sure you want to deposit $1000 on a casino for the first time? Before doing so, I would play in the "play for fun" mode for a long time. Check out ALL their games to see which ones you feel most comfortable with. PLay them until you feel like you wouldn't miss $100, and then make a $100 purchase. Save the rest of your cash until you know what you are doing.

The bonuses won't go away, so you aren't missing anything if don't take the offer up right away. DON'T FEEL PRESSURED and realize you're playing for entertainment's sake, NOT to win money. Winning is a good possibility, but remember...this is gambling.

As for the casino in question, you should have no problems if you abide by their terms and conditions.
