This is the expression you might have heard any Asian gambler shout whilst playing blackjack in a casino anywhere in the world, but not in Japan.  Although the Japanese love to gamble, it may be surprising to learn that there are currently no land-based or online casinos in Japan.  The only forms of legal gambling are online horse racing and lotteries.  Things may change however.  Talks have been started between the Liberal Democratic Party and many top online gambling operators throughout the world.

Readers of Gambling Online magazine have voted 888.com as Top Casino of the Year for the second year running at their awards ceremony earlier this week.  As Matt Robinson, VP marketing at 888 says, “this award has tremendous relevance because it is voted by those who actually play our casino games and by those who have also experienced our competitors’ efforts.”

The online gambling news website Online Casino Advisory is calling for “…a boycott by all gamblers, civil libertarians, and concerned protectors of the Internet of all products of Kentucky, or anything that produces Kentucky tax revenue.  Until governor Steve Beshear lifts his fascist order, every effort must be made to hurt the state’s coffers.”   What next?

Lawrence Anderson at Online Casino Advisory has said that we must find a solution to problem gambling instead of just highlighting it to the public with horror stories of the problems that gamblers have.    He says studies have shown that problem gambling, like alcohol abuse or drug problems, may be caused by a defect.

A new casino and resort project in Lyon County, Iowa, costing $90 million has just received the approval to go ahead.  5,961 people (69.7% of the registered voters) turned out to vote.  62% were in favour of the proposed project which will engender employment for 400 people in the area.  The casino will open its doors for business in 2011.  There are already 20 casinos in Iowa.

In an unprecedented move by an online casino, over 44 countries worldwide will be involved in the year’s biggest online casino marketing extravaganza.

GoldenTigerCasino.com will be releasing its highly acclaimed promotional CDs in 14 languages to Europe, Canada, South Africa and Asia in what looks to be one of the biggest online casino campaigns ever. The CDs will be one of three colors determining the prize upon signup at the popular online casino: Silver $10, Blue $500, or Gold an enormous $1,500.

Perhaps more appealing however is the chance to use this free money to hit one of Golden Tiger Casino’s enormous progressive jackpots. Earlier this year, Klaus E from Finland did just this, using a Casino Rewards promotional CD to hit an incredible $5.5 million. The CD had allegedly been sitting around gathering dust on his kitchen table for a few weeks before he decided to put it in his computer, a decision which would ultimately change his life.

Golden Tiger Casino is part of the award winning group CasinoRewards.com, that continues to make online gambling more accessible to new players with its frequent promotions and signature bonus offers. Golden Tiger Casino offers 1 hour of free game play to experience any of the 200+ online casino games, including video poker, table games, slots and card games catering to all level of player. In addition, all new players receive a bonus $40, then have 1 hour to win as much money as possible, meaning no risk to the player’s own funds. Then, upon depositing at the casino the player can receive a deposit bonus of up to $250!

Even if members of the public are not lucky enough to find a letter from Golden Tiger Casino in the post in the next few weeks, no one can doubt the allure of the existing promotions already available on the site. However, with the prospect of discovering a Golden Tiger Golden CD and the enticing rewards therein, the nation awaits the postman with baited breath.
