Free Money? Well, Kinda…at Millionaire Casino, a Pretty Cool Web Site
I’m here today to tout Millionaire Casino, a pretty cool online gambling website.
Not because they are light years ahead of the competiton (although they do put out an outstanding product).
But because they give out free money.
Let me explain more, now that I have your attention (hence the headline)
Look, blackjack players are gonna love this site.
It’s cool because they have thought of just about every angle that a blackjack player thinks of or wants in an online casino.
But, like I said, the best things about Millionaire Casino is the amount of free cash they are giving away.
New members to the casino get a massive $5,000 for absolutely free.
The $5,000 is split into three respective increments of $2,000, $1,000, and $2,000 over a player’s first 3 deposits. All 3 deposits come as a 100 percent match.
With all the extra cash that players are able to accumulate for free, they can take part in endless blackjack tournaments throughout the month.
A Weekend Blackjack Classic takes place on a weekly basis. A buy-in of just $10 can win players a nice chunk of change from the guaranteed $5,000 prize pool.
During the week players can participate in any number of Head2Head tournaments for just $5!
The only downside to Millionaire Casino on behalf of blackjack players is a relatively limited selection of game varieties.
There are only a few variations of blackjack available.
Still, I urge you to check it out. Maybe play a bit and then let me know what you think.
Thumbs up? Or down.

Mega Jackpots in Blackjack? It Could Happen
I don’t usually get my info from press releases, but I couldn’t resist telling you about what is going on with International Game Technologies.
When the company delivered life-altering jackpots to the casino world through its MegaBucks progressive slot machines, it turned the gaming industry upside down.
Gamblers now have the opportunity to win a lottery sized sum of money from a just a small wager.
Progressive style mega jackpots have helped build the mega casinos in Las Vegas and elsewhere, and have generated a huge shift in revenues and profits in most casinos from table games to slot machines.
IGT did OK too! But what if games like blackjack could offer a mega-jackpot?
What if this mega-jackpot could grow larger through a communication network that was not confined just to one state like the slot machines are?
What if the second largest proprietary table game company in the world had the answer and is just beginning to launch its Bonus Jackpot System for table games?
It could be the next IGT, right?
Well, the company trying it is Galaxy Gaming.
Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, Galaxy Gaming, Inc. is the world’s second largest developer, manufacturer and distributor of casino table games including Lucky Ladies, Texas Shootout and Emperor’s Challenge.
In addition, it develops innovative and enhanced electronic wagering platforms such as its Bonus Jackpot System. Galaxy Gaming distributes its products to casinos throughout North America and on cruise ships worldwide.
Now, it is devising a mega jackpot for blackjack.
We’ll keep you updated on their progress.
If anyone out there knows more about this, I would love to hear from you. I think those of us who LOVE playing blackjack would like to be informed on this subject.

Return of the $2 Table at Resorts, in Atlantic City; Will it Draw in New Players?
God, how I’ve missed $2 tables in Atlantic City.
By now you all know that I am not a high roller. I am a journalist who loves to play, gamble and observe those worlds. I also like to watch out for you.
And point out scams, tell you good stories, etc.
I hope that’s why you check in every week.
So now Resorts, in Atlantic City is bringing back the $2 blackjack table.
Hallelujah.
When I was a kid, first starting out playing blackjack, that was all I could afford.
Now, with the economy such as it is, it’s no surprise that Resorts is bringing back $2 tables to draw more people into its casino.
With high rollers being few and far between during the economic recession, the Atlantic City casino is hoping that the everyday gamblers can help improve revenue.
Opening tables at this price level does not come without a catch.
Players will have to pay $.25 a hand to the casino. The fee will go towards offsetting the operating costs of running such a small stakes table.
The casino is attempting to attract new and inexperienced players with the $2 dollar tables.
$2 tables were very common before casinos became greedy and took away the games. Now that they are hurting for customers, the casinos have started to rethink their high limit tables.
There has also been an increase in penny slot machines over the past couple of years.
While high rollers still have the option to play at stakes of upwards of $100 a spin, the gamblers on a budget can find many penny slots at most US casinos.
MEANWHILE, Pennsylvania has moved closer to toppling Atlantic City’s hold on casino gambling.
State lawmakers passed laws legalizing table games in casinos.

Get over to Ladbrokerscasino and JenningCasino for the debut of live dealer blackjack. This is the brainchild of the folks at Microgaming, a large provider of online gaming software.
Kudos to them.
It’s all about streaming.
The idea is this: As a player you can experience the realism of land-based casino play as you navigate the crisp, clear interface, interact with casino personnel dealing cards in real-time, streamed via live video.
Microgaming has also introduced two innovative features, Bet Behind and Waiting List, to further enhance the player experience of this traditional casino favourite.
Now, from a press release: Bet Behind allows other players to follow games as they happen and place bets on the seated players, just like in a land-based casino. There is no limit to the amount of players that can bet on a single game, and bets can be made on multiple games at once. Bet Behind provides players with an alternative way to enjoy the action, helping to translate realistically the traditional casino experience to an online platform.
Waiting List acts as an alert function for players, enabling them to keep an eye on their favourite dealers and informing them when a space appears on their table. This not only guarantees that users can play with dealers that they know and appreciate, but also allows them the opportunity to enjoy side games, safe in the knowledge they will not miss their chance to join the game of their choice.
Microgaming’s Blackjack offering represents the latest addition to their current suite of Live streaming games, which includes Baccarat and Roulette.
So check it out.
I know I will.

Hold on to Your Savings; Blackjack Winner is Robbed at Gunpoint. Don’t Worry: He was Later Captured by the Cops
If you win, don’t flaunt it.
And even if you don’t flaunt it, keep your winnings to yourself when you leave a casino.
From an Associated Press report:
An Eagan, Minnesota woman playing blackjack at Mystic Lake Casino accepted a ride home from a man, only to be robbed at gunpoint and assaulted, according to a criminal complaint.
Neville Grant, 35, of Plymouth, is charged in Dakota County District Court with first-degree aggravated robbery, kidnapping and two counts of second-degree sexual assault.
According to the police complaint the woman took a bus to the Prior Lake casino on the night of Jan. 2. While playing blackjack, she met a man who called himself Rick or Ricardo, who followed her around.
When the woman got ready to go about 4 a.m. on Jan. 3, he offered to drive her to Eagan if she paid for some gas, the complaint said.
She never should have accepted the ride.
When they got to her apartment complex, he pulled a small black gun, pointed it at her thigh and demanded her money, according to the complaint. The woman, who had $800 in her bra, didn’t turn it over, so the man starting driving, eventually reaching Hwy. 13, it added.
She later gave him the money and he drove her home, the complaint said.
When they got there, he put the gun away, tried to kiss her and put a hand down her pants, it added.
Eagan police contacted the casino’s security, which found surveillance video of the two and identified the license plate on the man’s vehicle.
That led to Grant, who was arrested Saturday by the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office. The woman also identified Grant in a lineup of six photos.
Good work by the police. And a lesson for us all.
