PartyGaming remains confident - 31st December 2009

PartyGaming remains confident

Product suite remains strong: PartyCasino.com, PartyPoker.com, PartyBets.com, PartyGammon.com, PartyBingo.com, World Poker Tour

Strategic purchases and potential mergers on cards for 2010

Leading listed online gaming operator PartyGaming has stated that its revenues since the end of September are expected to be in line with its earlier predictions despite falling over the first nine months of the year.

PartyGaming owns the World Poker Tour land-based poker tournament series and operates popular online poker domain PartyPoker.com alongside leading bingo sites FoxyBingo.com, Mirror Bingo, Think Bingo and Cheeky Bingo.

The operator stated that it would release its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2009 on February 3 and expects clean full-year earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to be ‘slightly ahead’ of its expectations.

“As indicated at the time of our third quarter key performance indicators, our business has continued to perform well across the board during the fourth quarter with a return to net revenue growth across all four of our key product verticals,” said Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer for the Gibraltar-based operator.

“Returning poker to growth has been a key focus for us. We are pleased to see that the initiatives introduced throughout the year are now feeding through into both operational and financial performance with increased player numbers and average net daily revenues versus the previous quarter, despite continued competition from illegal US-facing sites and the difficult macroeconomic climate.

“Our casino business has also continued to perform well on the back of new games launched on PartyCasino.com as well as higher jackpots with the most recent Mega Gold jackpot paying out close to five million dollars to the lucky winner earlier this month.

“Bingo continues to show substantial growth on the back of the CashCade acquisition in July of 2009.

“In sportsbetting, our gross win margin has benefited from a good run of sporting results and the introduction of improved risk management tools.

“Despite the challenges presented by the prevailing macroeconomic environment, we have not been distracted from the execution of our strategic plan. With the prospect of a number of new and large regulated markets in front of us, an expanding portfolio of business-to-business customers and a return to growth in our core business, we remain confident about the group’s prospects.”

PartyCasino Wins Media Man Online Casino Award, by Greg Tingle - 30th December 2009

PartyCasino.com Wins Media Man Online Casino Award

PartyCasino.com has once again been awarded the Media Man and Casino News Media "Online Casino Of The Month".

The competition for the coveted award was intense again this month with massive bids from both Captain Cooks Casino and Virgin Casino, however there can only be one winner... ladies and gentlemen, that's PartyCasino.com

The award follows PartyPoker's EGR Poker Operator Of The Year and PartyGaming also made the shortlist for EGR Operator Of The Year. Last month PartyGaming's PartyPoker.com also won the Casino News Media "Online Poker Website Of The Month".

The Media Man - Casino News Media accolade is based on a combination of elements including user experience, innovation, trustworthiness, customer service, gameplay, affiliate program offerings, newsworthiness and company values.

PartyCasino.com is one of a number of PartyGaming brands.

The most popular PartyCasino.com games of late include Rambo, The Godfather, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Mission: Impossible, The Terminator, Cleopatra, Sinatra, Thor, The Hulk, Monopoly, Resident Evil and Mega Fortune Wheel. Last month a German casino player won the Gold Mega Jackpot of almost $5 million dollars playing Mega Fortune Wheel.

The PartyCasino.com jackpot is currently approaching the $1 million mark. Players can also compete for the Marvel Hero Jackpot, playing the Marvel super hero themed online slot games.

PartyCasino's most recent game releases include Tarzan, High Noon and Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

PartyGaming CEO Jim Ryan has gone on record advising PartyCasino will soon feature more Hollywood blockbuster themed slots. A few in the know journalists and media agents have been recently tipped off that pro wrestling themed online slot games are in the works and that an all time classic movie adaption will be showcased in the PartyCasino portfolio within 3 months. Names been thrown around include Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, but those names are only rumors, however a print feature did showcase Andre earlier in the year, indicating that there is substance to the rumor mill. In any event, PartyCasino already has the world's most impressive line up of Hollywood themed games, and more are just around the corner.

In other exciting PartyGaming news, PartyPoker.com is currently running qualifiers to the L.A Poker Classic in the United States. PartyGaming's recent purchase of the World Poker Tour company and assets enables PartyGaming to once again accept American based poker players, and they are hopefully of soon accepting American casino players also. Both websites accept most European, South American and Australian players.

PartyCasino.com and PartyPoker.com customers can also benefit from rewards and bonuses via PartyPoints and the Palladium Lounge. Be certain to check out the PartyCasino exclusive "Cash Machine" that is being championed as one of the greatest online casino promos ever.

Media Man, Casino News Media and Global Gaming Directory do have a b2b relationship with PartyGaming, as they do with dozens of other companies in the gaming and igaming industry.

PartyGaming's PartyCasino To Release More Hollywood Blockbuster Online Slot Games In Early 2010, by Greg Tingle - 29th December 2009

PartyCasino.com will be releasing more Hollywood blockbuster online slot games early into the new year!

PartyGaming's PartyCasino.com is the undisputed leader in delivering Hollywood movie titles to the online casino environment.

Insiders close to the source advise that "Avatar" style technologies and games are in the works as is some pro wrestling themed action, and more slot games based on some of the most popular motion pictures of all time, many of which from Paramount Pictures.

The company assures that its Rambo, Terminator, Call Of Duty 4, and the casino's Live Dealer facility, is just the tip of the iceberg.

Let's take a look at some of the titles that Party brought from the big screen to its world famous online casino in the past 12 months:

The Godfather, Top Gun, Mission: Impossible, Rambo, Call Of Duty 4, Sinatra, Tarzan, The Terminator, Saturday Night Fever, King Kong, Gone With The Wind, High Noon, The Naked Gun, Resident Evil, and then there's the Marvel Comics line up: The Hulk, Thor, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man. As Stan Lee would say, Excelsior!

PartyCasino.com players can play more games for free or for money, and industry leading promotions such as PartyPoints and Palladium Lounge are also available, both of which has been popular with new players and the veteran VIP's.

Whatever your favorite games are, Party is likely to have them... slots, classics like Cleopatra, new age blockbusters like Mission: Impossible, table games with live dealers, baccarat, roulette, bingo, online poker and blackjack... PartyCasino.com has it all.

Classic slot players can't go past Cleopatra, Monopoly, Wheel Of Fortune, Cluedo, and the modern classics, Sinatra and Rambo.

World class jackpots are also available including the Marvel Hero Jackpot on a range of Marvel Entertainment themed slot games and the Gold Mega Jackpot, made famous via the exclusive Mega Fortune Wheel and The Godfather slot games.

Over the years PartyGaming has won numerous industry awards and commendations, recently winning an EGR Award for social responsibility and the prestigious Casino News Media "Online Casino of the Month" title.

PartyGaming was established in 1997 and is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The top ten online slot games by PartyCasino.com for the month of December 2009 are:

Rambo

Tarzan

Cleopatra

Mission: Impossible

Monopoly

Sinatra

Call Of Duty 4

Top Gun

Thor

The Hulk

The runner up online slot games are:

Resident Evil

Spider-Man

Mega Fortune Wheel

Ramesses Riches

Bejeweled

PartyCasino.com offers unique promotions and player rewards which are widely regarded as the best in the industry. Players can enjoy rewards and bonuses with PartyPoints and the Palladium Lounge, both of which have generous rewards year round and are popular with both new and experienced players, so whether a casino virgin or VIP old hand at the games, there's something for you.

PartyGaming is the parent company of PartyCasino, established in 1997, and is the most successful online company in the world, listed on the London Stock Exchange and winner of numerous EGR Awards, in addition to Casino News Media and Media Man awards and commendations.

Players from most countries can access PartyCasino and PartyPoker. PartyCasino is ranked by many authorities as being the superior online casino for Australia, Europe and South America.

PartyCasino is hopeful of accepting paid American players in 2010, however PartyGaming made a successful purchase of the World Poker Tour late this year allowing players to become more familiar with PartyGaming products and services the world over.

Most games can be played for free or played for money and are available in a range of multi language and multi currency options. PartyGaming's call centre is open around the clock 24/7/365.

Jackpot offerings include Gold Mega Jackpot, Marvel Hero Jackpot and Super Hero Jackpot.

Major innovations at PartyCasino.com include Live Dealer and Single Wallet, and 2010 will see "Avatar" like technologies arrive.

Latest games include the Call Of Duty 4 slot and Melon Madness jackpot slot. 2010 will deliver more Hollywood themed classics, and rumors suggest to be on the lookout for games including pro wrestling also, be it Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair. Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan actually purchased the rights to use the name "Hulk" from Marvel Comics in the 80's, but that's another story. Certainly Party do have positive history in wrestling, Hollywood and Marvel Comics circles. This is evidenced in the public domain not only by The Hulk slot game, but also by Stallone's Rambo slot, Tom Cruise's Top Gun slot and Schwarzenegger's The Terminator. Terminator Salvation features Australia's Sam Worthington, and insiders predict more Terminator games may be on the way.

PartyGaming is licensed and regulated by the Government of Gibraltar, with offices around the world, and have been at the leading edge of innovation, customer service and all round excellence for over a decade. Players and partners alike can be assured they are in safe hands at PartyGaming.

Don't just play the games, "Feel it"... experience the world's leading online casino games at PartyCasino.com

Online gaming groups say they are on winning streak - 20th December 2009

Two of Britain’s largest online gaming groups signalled yesterday that punters were returning to the tables.

PartyGaming recorded its best quarter since the second quarter of 2008, while Sportingbet said it had gone from strength to strength.

The fourth quarter of the year is seasonally strong for online gaming companies and PartyGaming did not disappoint after reporting quarter-on-quarter growth across all of its categories, including bingo and casino. KBC Peel Hunt, the stockbroker and advisory house, projected a 24 per cent rise in revenue compared with the same period in 2008, its first year-on-year rise in six quarters.

Yet it was at the poker table that the company played its strongest hand, after revamping its site and working hard to introduce better loyalty offers. It is the first quarter-on-quarter growth that the company, once the largest online poker company in the world, has recorded since 2007.

Jim Ryan, chief executive of PartyGaming, hailed the “return to growth” in the fourth quarter, despite competition from “illegal” US-facing sites.

“Returning poker to growth has been a key focus for us. We are pleased to see that the initiatives introduced throughout the year are now feeding through into both operational and financial performance with increased player numbers and average net daily revenues,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sportingbet also issued a positive trading statement yesterday to coincide with its annual meeting. It said that the strength of its online sportsbook, which accounts for nearly 70 per cent of its revenue, has continued to offset weakness at its poker operation.

PartyGaming looks set to play a significant role in industry consolidation during 2010.

It aims to be a top-three player in the online sportsbook market, after its acquisition of Gamebookers three years ago.

PartyGaming secured a new £35 million banking facility that will fund bolt-on deals. However, the company kept its cards close to its chest over its acquisition plans.

Virgin Games Release Treasures Of Troy Online Slot Game - 23rd December 2009

Virgin Games has just released Treasures Of Troy online slot game.

Introduction

Your odyssey to epic riches begins. Enjoy unprecedented levels of slot action with 40 paylines plus 1024 additional ways to win! Bet 40 credits to cover 40 paylines; gain 1024 more ways to win for only 40 credits more. With twenty independent reels, you can reap monumental pays for big clusters of matching symbols.

Get two or more Bonus symbols and storm the city of Troy in the Free Spins Bonus. Enjoy 10, 15, or 20 free spins on extra-rich bonus reels with the opportunity to retrigger the bonus multiple times.

May the gods of Olympus favour you with wealth and glory.

How to Bet
Treasures of Troy® features 40 paylines plus 1024 Ways. You can play any number of paylines in payline-only mode. Or when playing all 40 paylines, you can activate 1024 Ways by doubling your bet. Your bet multiplier may be 1 to 5. Your bet multiplier multiplies payline and MultiWay® wins (if 1024 Ways are activated).

Lines+Ways
Selects the number of active paylines and whether or not 1024 Ways activated. Click the left arrow (with a minus sign) to decrease number of paylines played and to disable 1024 Ways. Click the right arrow (with a plus sign) to increase number of paylines played and to activate 1024 Ways. Choose between 1, 10, 20, 30, 40 paylines, or 40 paylines plus 1024 Ways activated. 1024 Ways may only be activated if you are playing 40 paylines.

Bet Multiplier
Displays current bet multiplier for paylines and 1024 Ways (if activated). Click the left arrow (with a minus sign) to decrease bet multiplier by one. Click the right arrow (with a plus sign) to increase bet multiplier by 1, up to a maximum of 5.

Max Bet
Click the MAX BET button to bet the maximum of 5 credits on all 40 paylines and to activate 1024 Ways with a bet multiplier of 5. MAX BET is not available if you have fewer than 400 credits.

Play
Click the PLAY button to spin the reels. The number shown on the PLAY button is the number of credits bet.

1024 Ways - Multiways® Pays
If 1024 Ways are activated (see How to Bet), you gain 1024 more ways to win with MultiWay® awards. MultiWay® awards pay for matching symbols in any position in four or more adjacent columns, starting from the leftmost column. More than one matching symbol in the same column multiplies the award. Each symbol position is a separate reel, so matching symbols can appear in multiple positions leading to massive wins. MultiWay® awards are paid in addition to any line awards.

You'll enjoy the richest play experience with 1024 Ways activated.

This diagram shows a sample reel outcome focusing only on the King symbols:

*see website

With 1024 Ways activated, this is a MultiWay® award outcome. Since there is at least one King symbol in each of the first four columns (and no King in the fifth column), we have a "4 King" MultiWay® winner.

With a bet multiplier of 1x, a single "4 King" MultiWay® outcome pays 10 credits. However, because some of the columns have more than one King symbol, a "4 King" MultiWay® win occurs on more than one of the possible ways. Each of these ways pays 10 credits.

To determine the number of ways, multiply together the number of relevant symbols from each of the relevant columns. The number of King symbols in the first four columns, respectively, is:
2 Kings -- 3 Kings -- 1 King -- 3 Kings

so the total number of MultiWay® award ways is:
2 x 3 x 1 x 3 = 18 ways

and therefore, we have "4 King" MultiWay® awards along eighteen different ways.
This yields a total MultiWay® pay of:
10 credits per way x 18 different ways = 180 credits

Note that the 180 credit MultiWay® pay is in addition to any line pays. In this example, there is also a "3 King" payline award (formed by the top King in each of the first three columns aligning with the 15th payline).

Since a "3 King" payline award is 15 credits, the total award is:
15 payline credits + 180 MultiWay® credits = 195 total pay credits

Free Spins Bonus
You can trigger the Free Spins Bonus by getting two or more Bonus symbols on any of the centre column reels. The more Bonus symbols that appear at the same time, the more free spins you are awarded.

During the Free Spins Bonus, you can retrigger the Bonus multiple times. Your Free Spins Bonus continues until you have 0 spins remaining, or until you have played 130 free spins, or until the maximum award is reached. To retrigger the Bonus, you need to get two or more Bonus symbols on any of the centre column reels on a Free Spin.

Your bet in the Free Spins Bonus, including 1024 Ways activation, is the same as on the reel spin that triggered the Bonus.

The Free Spin Bonus has richer reels and more ways to win than the main game.

Options
AUDIO
You can turn the audio for the game ON (default) or OFF by clicking the corresponding option.

GRAPHICS QUALITY
You may want to adjust the quality of the graphics to get the optimal animation performance on your computer. In BEST mode, the graphics look the best, but performance may suffer. The HIGH and MEDIUM (default) settings lower the quality but increase the performance. In LOW mode, the graphics are degraded, but the smoothest animation performance is achieved even on slower computers.

Rules
Malfunction voids all pays and plays.

All line pay symbols must appear on a played line and on consecutive reels, beginning with the far left reel.

All payline wins occur on bet lines only.

Only highest winner paid on each payline.

Line wins are multiplied by the bet multiplier.

Coinciding wins on different paylines are added.

MultiWay® wins are formed when the same symbol (or its substitute) appears on contiguous columns starting with the left-most column.

MultiWay® wins are multiplied by the bet multiplier.

MultiWay® wins are paid in addition to line wins (if any).

MultiWay® wins are only paid if 1024 Ways is activated.

Awards are shown in credits.

The maximum win on any transaction is capped at 125,000 currency units (pounds, for example). A transaction includes the results of the Free Spins Bonus plus the outcome which launched the Bonus.

Additional Information
The GAME CONSOLE provides information and access to additional features:
Your current balance in your chosen currency
Your total number of credits
The denomination in which the game is being played. This represents the value of each credit.

The METER BAR on the bottom of the game screen displays the denomination in which the game is being played, the number of credits paid if a win occurred, and the number of credits bet on the last/current proposition.

Hollywood slot fans can also find more action in High Noon, Resident Evil, The Naked Gun and Top Gun, and then there's the Marvel Comics themed games, The Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four. Go for the Marvel Hero Jackpot and Super Hero Jackpot. Excelsior!, as Marvel icon, Stan Lee would say.

Rest assured that action, Hollywood and virtual worlds fans will be blown away by 2010 offerings. Most European countries can access the online casino, as can Australians and Canadians. PartyGaming remains dedicated to provide an online casino service to Americans, and has recently acquired World Poker Tour, so gaming fans the world over can become more familiar with PartyGaming's numerous game offerings.

PartyGaming's PartyCasino and PartyPoker in line for more awards, by Greg Tingle - 18th December 2009

As the countdown towards Christmas continues, with just seven days to go, the igaming industry remains as competitive as ever. It shouldn't surprise anyone, punter, newbie or industry veteran, that PartyGaming and its PartyCasino and PartyPoker brands are in line for more industry awards and commendations.

PartyGaming remains the world’s leading listed online gaming company. Founded in 1997, the Group has its shares listed on The London Stock Exchange.

Coming off a wave of momentum with its successful purchase of World Poker Tour (WPT Enterprises), Cashcade a number of months ago, and the release of a swag of new slot games, the company is tipped to continue domination of the gaming and igaming world.

Party's awards and commendations include eGaming Review Operator Of The Year and Socially Responsible Operator Of The Year.

This month PartyCasino.com has made the shortlist for Media Man - Casino News Media Online Casino Of The Month, and PartyPoker.com gets to the finals for the Media Man - Casino News Media Online Poker website Of The Month.

The company also achieved inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series and last month won 'Best Communications by a private sector company' for the second year running at the CorpComms Awards. PartyCasino and PartyPoker also carry the eCOGRA seal of approval.

As the company looks forward to the new year they look to continue innovation, value for money, world class service, and growth into new geographic regions including South America, Indian, France and the Asia Pacific.

PartyGaming will continue to revamp its websites including it's ever growing PartyCasino.com site, thanks to the frequent games being added and its newly acquired Club WTP website, now sporting a PartyGaming look and feel to it.

PartyGaming remains poised to make more inroads into the United States coming off the back of its purchase of WPT Enterprises (U.S residents can play online poker on the Club World Poker Tour website without potential legal complications). PartyPoker.com ambassador, Stewart Scott, has just been doing a fine job promoting the PartyGaming and PartyPoker.com brand on a national and international basis, and will be defending his poker championship at Aussie Millions 2010 this January at Mr Packer's Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia.

PartyGaming sites are available in a wide array of languages and currencies, and are available for play around the lock. Players can enjoy most games in either free mode or play for money mode. Last month the PartyCasino jackpot of close to $5 million dollars was one, and as we head towards Christmas the jackpot nears $1 million. PartyCasino also offers the Marvel Hero Jackpot, thanks to their business agreement with Marvel Entertainment. Insiders tip that Thor and The Hulk are the most popular Marvel slots at present, and this may be related to a Thor movie in the works and wrestling living legend, Hulk Hogan, being very prominent in the press of late, just returning to the United States after his successful Hulkamania tour of Australia. A bit of history...Hogan bought the rights to use "Hulk" from Marvel in the 1980's for a million dollars or thereabouts. Rumors persist of a potential Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Andre The Giant online slot machine in the new year, but that's another story for another time.

PartyGaming also offers a number of other world class promotions such as Cash Machine, Monthly Million, Slotastic Sundays, and reward offerings, PartyPoints and the very popular Palladium Lounge which has proved to be a must visit destination for PartyGaming VIP's.

It's been a hugely successful year for PartyGaming and the industry and players alike expect more groundbreaking developments from the company as 2010 approaches.

PartyCasino, Virgin Casino and Captain Cooks Casino compete for Online Casino of the Month title

PartyCasino, Virgin Casino and Captain Cooks Casino compete for Online Casino of the Month title

Three of the world's most popular online casinos have made the Casino News Media shortlist for the prestigious Online Casino of the Month title.

The Casino News Media monthly award is based upon a number of factors which include game play, game range, customer service, ethics, affiliate offerings and all round customer experience.

Casino News Media does have a business relationship with all three casino brands, as they do with dozens of brands in the casino and online casino sector.

Europe's InterCasino.com and PKR closely follow the leaders this month, however InterCasino and PKR are tipped to both be in a position to take out the winners trophy in the coming months, as both online casinos have made substantial improvements in the past few weeks and positive feedback has come in on both companies. PKR's revamp and InterCasino's new DC Comics Super Hero themed slots have really got both casinos back in contention for numerous industry awards.

This month PartyCasino added more games and features and was praised by numerous players and industry figures, and Virgin Casino has added approximately a dozen games including Marvel classics, The Hulk, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four.

Casino News Media is part of the Media Man group which includes Global Gaming Directory.

The Casino News Media award winner for December 2009 will be announced in earlier January 2010.

PartyGaming in £2bn internet deal - 14th December 2009

Online gaming firm PartyGaming is in talks with Austrian rival Bwin over a potential deal that could create a £2 billion internet gambling giant, it has been reported.

PartyGaming is expected to be asked by the Takeover Panel to clarify its position before the stock markets open Monday morning, according to The Sunday Times.

The firm, led by chief executive Jim Ryan, is thought to be keen to boost its sports betting offer, an area of strength for Bwin.

Meanwhile, there has reportedly been growing speculation over consolidation in the online gaming industry.

But a source told The Sunday Times discussions were at an early stage and might not lead to a deal.

"Everyone in the industry is talking to everybody else," the source said.

PartyGaming has a market value of more than £1 billion while Bwin, which is listed on the Vienna stock exchange, is thought to be valued at 1.3 billion euros (£1.2 billion).

In August, PartyGaming hailed the performance of its casino operations, which include PartyCasino and FoxyBingo.

This helped offset pressure on its PartyPoker division after strong competition left poker earnings 29% lower.

PartyGaming reported a bottom-line loss of 66.9 million US dollars (£41 million) due to payments associated with a non-prosecution agreement with US authorities.

PartyGaming in talks with Bwin - 13th December 2009

PartyGaming is in talks with Bwin, the Austrian-based rival online gambling company, about a potential merger, a move that analysts have long been predicting as a possibility in an industry looking to consolidate.

The close-knit industry has seen a number of companies explore merger options with each other this year, as they wait for new markets to open.

Insiders at PartyGaming said current talks with Bwin went beyond the usual exploratory nature, but emphasised there was no imminent prospect of a deal. Both companies are licensed in Gibraltar.

However, the insiders said PartyGaming was keen that any deal with Bwin would be based on a merger of equals. The market capitalisation of both companies are similar – PartyGaming is worth £1.1bn, while Bwin is valued at around €1.3bn (£1.17bn). Neither PartyGaming nor Bwin would comment on the matter.

The desire for deal-making is likely to strengthen as countries that had turned their faces against regulated online gambling markets (France, Australia, India and United States) begin to step up preparations for liberalisation, albeit limited in some cases.

France is preparing for a partially-liberated market in 2010, Italy is widening its market to include bingo, casino and other games and other European states, with an eye on the potential tax revenues from the industry, are inching towards regulation.

PartyGaming has been preparing the ground for a significant deal, having sealed a non-prosecution agreement with the US department of justice in April over its trading in the US, in return for a forfeiture of $105m.

Jim Ryan, PartyGaming’s chief executive, has repeatedly said that the settlement was a necessary step prior to any merger activity on its part.

Bwin, listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, is also keen on pushing ahead with merger activity at a time when the company is establishing itself as one of Europe's strongest online gambling companies.

Norbert Teufelberger, co-chief executive of Bwin, last month told the Financial Times that demand from big investment houses was significant and that Bwin would emerge from consolidation as “one of the bigger guys in this industry”.

Bwin, which has 20m registered users, has seen shares rise up 177 per cent in the last 12 months. It is expected to achieve gross gaming revenues of €450m, and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of €110m.

Bwin strengthened its position in online poker this past September by purchasing Italian operator Gioco Digitale. It has established a strong sports betting product, and is the shirt sponsor of Real Madrid and AC Milan.

Other companies with an eye on events at PartyGaming and Bwin include 888 Holdings, Sportingbet and Unibet.

These fantastic dream trips will be up for grabs in two amazing $600+40 satellites on Sunday 13th December.

For more information on the many paths to Melbourne, including PartyPoint and freeroll options, see PartyPoker.com Aussie Millions. As ever, PartyPoker.com provides diverse qualifying structures, which can start from as little as just $1.***


‘GAMAGO’ HITS RECORD PARTYCASINO GOLD MEGA JACKPOT AND MAKES ONLINE GAMING HISTORY
$45 SPINS UP TO $4,978,336.62 ON THE MEGA FORTUNE WHEEL!

Gibraltar – 8th December 2009 – The Gold Mega Jackpot at PartyCasino.com has finally been hit and one lucky player is a staggering $4,978,336.62 better off! The jackpot was by far the biggest in the industry and is a landmark for the world’s largest online casino!

The lucky player is ‘gamago,’ a member of the PartyGaming VIP Club, the Palladium Lounge, from Germany. He was delighted by his record breaking win.

“I was so shocked when I won the jackpot and the news still really hasn’t sunk in! I have to say I had my eye on the big jackpot but I really don’t play aiming for them, I play for fun. I have won $50,000 and $100,000 jackpots before but nothing on this scale. It is unbelievable that one spin has given me nearly $5 million!”

The fateful spin came at 20.42ET on December 2nd. The stake was $45 on popular PartyCasino.com Gold Mega Jackpot game, the Mega Fortune Wheel. The screen exploded with congratulations and colour as ‘gamago’ turned $45 into $4,978,336.62!

Clearly, nearly $5 million is a life changing amount of money but ‘gamago’ has no real view on what he is going to be doing with this record windfall. “To be honest, I don’t have any plans on what I am going to do with the money as yet.”

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “We would like to congratulate ‘gamago’ on taking down this monster record Gold Mega Jackpot and making online gaming history. We assumed the jackpot would reach $5 million and stated as such but this record Gold Mega Jackpot hit shortly after we published those fateful words! ‘gamago’ is a valued member of the Palladium Lounge and we wish him well with his newly found mega riches!”

PartyCasino.com now offers over 130 games, including 93 slots, and pays out easily over $10 million EVERY DAY to players. The world’s largest online casino continues to expand rapidly.

Recent popular additions include Resident Evil, The Naked Gun, High Noon and Bejeweled. Other new additions such as Tarzan and Multi-Hand BlackJack Pro were developed in house by PartyGaming’s specialist unit ‘The Games Studio.’ Gold Mega Jackpot games are: The Godfather, Mega Fortune Wheel, Super Joker, Super Mystic, Super Fortune Wheel and Super Star.

Christmas is coming to PartyCasino.com early. The ‘Festive Frenzy’ sees the world’s largest online casino give away cash gifts, bonuses and PartyPoints worth a huge $500,000 - all for free.

Christmas gifts of cash, bonuses and PartyPoints will appear in the Lobby from 10th to 24th December. If a customer spots one, make sure they click ’accept’ and PartyCasino.com will credit it to their account.

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “The gifts will get bigger and we’ll give more of them away the closer we get to Christmas Day, so keep your eyes peeled. Your chances of getting a gift get better the more you play. You can also win a share of $100,000 on our massive Festive Frenzy leader board. Every PartyPoint you collect during the promotional period will count towards your final ranking, so keep playing: the more points you earn, the bigger your prize could be.”

Here’s what can be won:

10th to 16th December: win a share of $175,000 as gifts ranging from 50 PartyPoints to cash bonuses of $250 appear in the Lobby

PartyCasino Wins Media Man Online Casino Award - 3rd December 2009

PartyCasino.com Wins Media Man Online Casino Award

PartyCasino.com has once again been awarded the Media Man and Casino News Media "Online Casino Of The Month".

The competition for the coveted award was fierce again this month with strong bids from both Captain Cooks Casino and Virgin Casino, however there can only be one winner... ladies and gentlemen, that's PartyCasino.com

The award follows PartyPoker's EGR Poker Operator Of The Year and PartyGaming also made the shortlist for EGR Operator Of The Year.

The Media Man - Casino News Media accolade is based on a combination of elements including user experience, innovation, trustworthiness, customer service, gameplay, affiliate program offerings, newsworthiness and company values.

PartyCasino.com is one of a number of PartyGaming brands.

The most popular PartyCasino.com games of late include Rambo, The Godfather, Mission: Impossible, The Terminator, Cleopatra, Sinatra, Thor, The Hulk, Monopoly, Resident Evil and Mega Fortune Wheel.

In developing news the PartyCasino.com jackpot recently exceeded $5 million. It's largest ever online jackpot! Players can also compete for the Marvel Hero Jackpot, playing the Marvel super hero themed online slot games.

PartyCasino's most recent game releases include Tarzan, High Noon and Ramesses Riches. PartyGaming CEO Jim Ryan has gone on record advising PartyCasino will soon feature more Hollywood blockbuster themed slots. A few in the know journalists and media agents have been recently tipped off that at least one pro wrestling themed online slot game is in the works and an all time classic movie adaption will be showcased in the PartyCasino portfolio within 3 months. Names been thrown around include Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, but those names are only rumors, however a print feature did show Andre earlier in the year, indicating that there is substance to the rumor mill. In any event, PartyCasino already has the world's most impressive line up of Hollywood themed games, and more are just around the corner.

In other exciting PartyGaming news, PartyPoker.com is currently running qualifiers to the world famous Aussie Millions Poker Championship at Crown Casino, Melbourne, Australia.

PartyCasino.com and PartyPoker.com customers can also benefit from rewards and bonuses via PartyPoints and the Palladium Lounge. Be certain to check out the PartyCasino exclusive "Cash Machine" that is being championed as one of the greatest online casino promos ever.

Media Man, Casino News Media and Global Gaming Directory do have a b2b relationship with PartyGaming, as they do with dozens of other companies in the gaming and igaming industry.

PartyGaming a Double Winner at the EGR Awards

1st December 2009

PartyGaming is proud to announce that its flagship PartyPoker product was voted ‘Poker Operator of the Year’ at last night’s eGaming Review Awards (EGR). Additionally, Cashcade, which PartyGaming acquired in the summer, took top honours in the bingo category with its Foxy Bingo site beating off stiff competition.

The independent judging panel for the Poker Operator of the Year award recognised the operator that made the most headway in the real-money poker sector during 2008/9. The judges were looking for originality, growth and scale, usability, payment processing and marketing. Special consideration was given to operators who innovated in this competitive sector.

The judges for the bingo award cited Cashcade as the “stand out market leader at a marketing brand level”. They also recognised Cashcade’s achievements for increasing its number of bingo networks to eight, including the launch of the free Cheeky Bingo room, and for several high profile marketing campaigns that included sponsorship of the giant BBC charity event, Red Nose Day.

Jake Pollard, editor of eGaming Review, said:

“PartyGaming and Cashcade are worthy winners of the industry’s premier EGR poker and bingo awards. PartyPoker proved resilient in 2008/9 and maintained its position as the largest non-US, standalone poker site. Cashcade was a very smart acquisition, complementing PartyGaming’s market-leading PartyCasino and PartyPoker products.”

Commenting on the awards Jim Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of PartyGaming, said:

“We are delighted to accept these top online gaming industry accolades for PartyPoker and Foxy Bingo. The EGR Awards are great recognition of the operational excellence of our poker and bingo teams in providing great online gaming entertainment to delight our customers.”

These latest achievements follow the four awards PartyGaming won last month for its 2008 Annual Report. It was voted ‘Best Annual Report’ at both the Accountancy Age and CorpComms Magazine awards as well as being a double winner at the inaugural Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators Hermes Transparency in Governance Awards for the ‘Best Practice Disclosure on Strategy’ and ‘Best Practice Disclosure on Stakeholder Engagement’ categories for FTSE 250 companies.
