Dear Reader,

Finally!!! "Major Millions" has been won! For those of you just subscribing, or who live in a cave, "Major Millions" is the largest progressive jackpot offered by any casino, and it's exclusive to Microgaming Casinos. Someone is $1,626,184.56 richer today! Well almost that rich. We can't forget the evil taxman and greedy relatives. But nonetheless, stay tuned to Casinomeister as more details trickle in. I'll be posting them in "Casinomeister's Announcements" in the forum.

Lots of other interesting other stuff happening this week: All casinos powered by Elka Systems have been placed in our rogue section for a variety of reasons, it finally stopped snowing here, I bought a new microwave, and someone accused me of deleting complaints concerning Crown Vegas from our forum. That was a very naughty thing to do.

Sternly yours,

Bryan

NEW AT CASINOMEISTER!
TWO CASINOS JOIN CASINOMEISTER
Here are two casinos you've got to join, and I'll tell you why.
Most of you are aware that before I accept any advertising from casinos at Casinomeister, I expect these casinos to uphold a set of standards. This is why you will only find the highest quality sites listed at here; they are dedicated to their customers and adhere to certain conditions. One of these conditions is They must have no affiliation with "fake" players' advocacy groups.

Well, Cherry Casino and Casino Domain wanted to jump onboard at Casinomeister. I thought "Well, great! I know these guys, and I've met up some of their managers in the past. They have an outstanding record. These guys are great." But when I checked out their site, I noticed that they members of the Egamingcommission. Most of you probably know by now that the Egamingcommission is a fake online casino watchdog site set up by the operaters of Windows Casino to give themselves a rubber stamp of approval. It's bogus and deceptive.

I contacted Cherry Casino and Casino Domain, letting them know that I could not accept their application until something was done about this. Within minutes the Egamingcommission logos came down, and they notified the Egamingcommission telling them that they no longer were members. Casino Domain and Cherry Casino deserve kudos for taking this action. They were unaware that their association with this "commission" was not a good thing. If you are an operator of an online casino, and you are displaying this "pacman" logo, remove it. This action will instill a better sense of trust within your players.

With that being said, I want to open my arms and give Cherry Casino and Casino Domain a great big hug and a smoochy kiss, and welcome them to Casinomeister's Reputable Casino section. Open an account with these guys to show that you care too!!
ROUGE CASINOS
Elka Systems Casinos
These casinos which are listed here run what may be considered crooked software. Last year they refused to pay a player his winnings scoffing at him stating that the software wasn't random enough. What more proof of being a rogue do you need?

I had nearly forgotten about this incident, but I was reminded this week via an evil deceptive spam that I received from one of their casinos: Net-gaming-casino.com  (not to be confused with netgamingcasino.com) They not only have crooked software but they condone the use of deceptive spam as a marketing scheme. Examples of these misleading messages can be found here.
I AM ACCUSED OF EVIL CENSORSHIP
Oh really?
I was accused on Winneronline's message board that I was deleting casino complaints from my message board at Casinomeister. This person stated, "He deletes threads in the complaints forum if they speak bad about his sponsors. I read his forum at night and when i wake up the next morning they are nuked. 2 in the past week, several over the past month."

What retarded lies. Why in the hell would I delete any message whatsoever besides spam? People post their complaints at Casinomeister because they know some sort of action will occur if they do. Be it positive or negative, there is usually some sort of resolution. I welcome complaints about my sponsors, and complaints concerning them are seldom seen, and it's not because I am deleting them. It's because they don't get very many complaints.

Unlike what happens with other forums on the web, I'll make an effort to contact the casinos giving them a heads up that they've been addressed. And really, it's a great opportunity to clear problems up. Lest you forget, Casinomeister's forum is one of the oldest on the web and this was one of its rudimentary purposes; to assist the player in having a voice to be heard, and to give casinos a chance to find out what the weather is like in "online casinoland".

But regardless, I couldn't delete any posts if I wanted to. It wouldn't go unnoticed. Out of 1381 users of the forum, 601 have their email notification turned on. In other words, when someone posts in the forum, up to 601 people are emailed a copy of the post. Most of these 601 individuals have the topic "Online Casino Complaints" checked. I would be busted in a most public way if I were to delete anything worthwhile or scandalous. Sinister indeed!

And to prove my point, yesterday I made two announcements in two separate sections of Casinomeister's Forum asking anyone with a copy of a post they think was deleted to please post it (deleted spam posts or double postings don't count). Well so far, no one has responded. Y'know why? BECAUSE I DIDN'T DELETE ANY POSTS! But then again, maybe I've been deleting these posts as well.

And then monkeys will fly out of my butt.

So for the poster at WOL, (Rainfall) I await a comment from you. Maybe you confused my forum with someone else's.

3. This week's humor

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

A sign at a business establishment in Philadelphia, PA:

"WE WOULD RATHER DO BUSINESS WITH 1000 AL QAEDA TERRORISTS THAN WITH A SINGLE AMERICAN"

This sign was prominently displayed in the window of a business in Philadelphia. You are probably outraged at the thought of such an inflammatory statement. One would think that anti-hate groups from all across the country would be marching on this business... And that the National Guard might have to be called to keep the angry crowds back. But, perhaps in these stressful times one might be tempted to let the proprietors simply make their statement . . . We are a society who holds Freedom of Speech as perhaps our greatest liberty . . . And after all, it is just a sign. You may ask what kind of business would dare post such a sign? (look below)







Answer: A Funeral Home

(And who said morticians had no sense of humor?)

Avoid Crown Vegas Like The PLAGUE.
They are scum.

I don't know why bryan backs them up. He'll probably delete this post and remove my access.

They stole winnings from players and wouldn't return deposits from losers. That is typical RTG. Bitches were pitched and bryan responded to none according to several people who pitched bitches. Many got nowhere with crown vegas. They'll change terms when they realize they made a term they didn't like and you won big


A guy here posted a complain a couple days ago and bryan removed it. It seemed well mannered. He's getting the shaft for over 4k from crown vegas? Bryan please tell us why you deleted the post?

If bryan deletes this post i'll just post it on winneronline so you guys don't get sucked in because i assume most readers here read there too.

VEGASUSA BOUNCES BACK
Major Upgrade from Trident Entertainment Group

Bigger, better and with a completely new look, www.vegasusa.com online casino was relaunched yesterday by Trident Entertainment Group, which took over the ailing casino late last year and has been revamping the site and putting its affairs in order.

Now a sister operation to the popular King Neptune's and Trident Lounge quality casinos, VegasUSA boasts a full 51 game line-up that includes 6 traditional Table games; 22 slots; 4 feature slots; keno; 7 Poker games and the complete range of 11 high value Jackpot Madness progressives, all powered by top software company Microgaming.

The outstanding Flash and download games package is backed by experienced management, a wide choice of financial options, premium banking security, a generous loyalty program and round-the-clock telephone, e-mail and live chat support.

For first time purchasers, a $50 welcome bonus is on offer and up to $20 in alternative purchase bonuses are available too.

"The Trident management team boasts years of industry experience and has our full confidence and support," said Microgaming Executive David Black.

Trident spokesman Scott Gaines says, "Our group has made a substantial investment in VegasUSA to bring it up to the standards of King Neptune's and Trident Lounge, and we will be marketing that investment with a number of exciting promotions and a weekly Lotto. Our business approach is to under promise and over deliver, and we hope that online players will see evidence of that in the near future."
