Tapping into the huge Asian gambling market is the online casino 12Buzz.com, which recently announced the launching of four new sites that will hopefully cater to at least some of the over 500 million potential Asian gamblers. The new online casino and poker room sites will be powered by one of the industry’s leading software companies, Playtech, and will provide players with over 100 exciting and technologically advanced games to choose from. The games can be played in a variety of ways, including pay-to-play, free-to-play and through a variety of media channels.
888 to Launch Sportsbetting Next Year
In a bid to expand its markets, and after unsuccessful talks with Ladbrokes over a potential takeover deal, the online gambling company 888 has noted that it will possibly launch a sportsbetting site as early as next year. Speaking at the European iGaming conference in Barcelona last week, 888’s CEO, Mr. Gigi Levy, said that he hoped to sign a long-term agreement with a sportsbook provider by the end of the year, to provide the company’s clients with horseracing, football and other sports wagering options to compliment their casino gaming. 888.com has recently made its presence strongly felt in the United Kingdom and European markets in recent months.
Mansion Casino Launches Hi-Lo Game for Newbies
For players seeking to familiarise themselves with hi-low style card games, Mansion Casino has found the perfect new product. The online casino site announced the launching of its Draw Hi-Lo card game that will introduce beginners to the concept of this type of play. Essentially, the game calls for players to predict the outcome of the next dealt card and whether it will be higher or lower than the current card. Once players feel confident with the game’s rules, they can make an easy transition from free play to play-for-pay on the site.
