    WORD FROM THE MEISTER
    Michael Caselli proves he is a man!
    This week, the roguish magazine editor Michael Caselli proved his manhood by stealing the heart of Brontë (Vortran007's girlfriend) by convincing her that he was some big shot in the online casino industry. Photographic proof of his decadence and heartlessness appeared this week here. "Girly-boy" Caselli and an apparently inebriated Brontë appeared in a sleazy strip club in Soho London. Right now their whereabouts are unknown, but it is rumored that she will be his traveling companion at the GIGSE.

    This whole shameful situation is totally unnecessary, and the worst thing is the condition my poor buddy Vortran is in. I've never seen a robot cry before. I hope this was worth it, Michael. You've really crossed the line on this one. The sound you hear is the sound of a can of whup-ass opening. See you in Toronto, my friend.
    NEW WEBCAST IS UP!

    3. This week's humor
    A man walks along a lonely beach. suddenly he hears a deep voice: "DIG!"

    He looks around: nobody's there. I am having hallucinations, he thinks. Then he hears the voice again: "I SAID, DIG!" So he starts to dig in the sand with his bare hands, and after some inches, he finds a small chest with a rusty lock. The deep voice says: "OPEN!"

    Ok, the man thinks, let's open the thing. He finds a rock with which to destroy the lock, and when the chest is finally open, he sees a lot of gold coins. The deep voice says: "TO THE CASINO!"

    Well the casino is only a few miles away, so the man takes the chest and walks to the casino. The deep voice says: "ROULETTE!"

    So he changes all the gold into a huge pile of roulette tokens and goes to one of the tables, where the players gaze at him with disbelief. The deep voice says: "27!"

    He takes the whole pile and drops it at the 27. The table nearly bursts. Everybody is quiet when the croupier throws the ball. The ball stops at the 26.

    The deep voice says: "SHIT!"

    RUSSIANS AND JACKPOT EXPRESS

    3W Graphics under the microscope again

    What is alleged to be plagiarisation of an online slot game came to notice again this week following a press release from Atlantis Internet Group of Henderson, Nevada on its casino products.

    In the release Avi Casino.com was mentioned as an operation created by Atlantis for an unspecified "...licensed Nevada casino" and one eagle eyed industry observer giving it the once over noted that Jackpot Express - a Microgaming game - was featured along with other familiar products from the Russian 3W Graphics company.

    Atlantis appears to own several online casinos using this software, including Atlantis-Gaming.com, All Sex Casino.com,French Quarter Casino.com and Casino-Curacao.com.

    Despite contacting Atlantis some days ago for a comment we had received no response by press time.

    Atlantis chairman Donald Bailey took a bullish position in the press release, opining that "...some feel it is inevitable that Got2bet will become legal and regulated in the United States and become an increasingly larger part of the business of gambling,''

    "Some believe that legislation may be enacted to regulate Got2bet when licensed gaming executives from Las Vegas and Atlantic City become involved in the business; when Internet Gaming software is embraced as reliable by the regulatory gaming agencies; and when the product is used online by a licensed casino in Nevada or New Jersey,'' continued Bailey.

    Bailey went on to reveal that his OTC listed company is working with unamed gaming industry executives as consultants, and had created the "play for fun" Avi casino site to Nevada State gambling requirements in anticipation of legalised play-for-money authorisation.
