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.
*the writer has a b2b relationship with a number of PartyGaming brands, as they do with dozens of other brands in the gaming and igaming world.

Big Brother Internet Laws in Australia, by Greg Tingle - 16th December 2009
Internet censorship is due to happen in Australia, just before next years election.
As most intelligent people know, when something becomes "illegal", it often becomes more popular! In addition, tech savvy folks will always find a way to get what they want, and criminals will still find ways to commit crimes. I seriously doubt criminals would openly conduct their criminal business activities on a basic internet service.
I for one strongly believe that people should be able to do (and watch etc) what they want in their own homes (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone).
Now the Australian government is going to make some more things "illegal" by imposing internet censorship.
Criminals will still conduct criminal acts, porn (and illegal) porn will still be obtained by those who want it, just as if someone wants to get their hands on dope, cocaine, heroin or whatever, they can sure enough get it.
History has shown the world that when things become "illegal" they go underground ie: underground networks etc, and consumer protection is lost, and the industry becomes "hidden" and may not show up on an government report, however in many cases the industry thrives and becomes stronger than ever (but is "hidden").
Take you minds back to when prostitution was still widely illegal (still is in many places) and when gambling houses were illegal. Did some people still pay for sex? Did some people still visit "illegal" gambling dens? We know the answer.
Australia's "Big Brother" has a number of agenda's, but rest assured, it is not about protecting the children. Protecting children is largely the role of adults in the family, just as it has been from the beginning of civilisation.
I for one wouldn't be surprised if a group of switched on legal eagles and campaigners in Australia, and the world over, find a way to stop this Australian censorship rubbish once and for all.
In the meantime, for those who are into porn, gaming, fetish, religion or some other "questionable" matters which can be found on the web, get your fix (before the Australian government Thinks or Says) it will stop. Who are the Australian government kidding.
*The writer is the founder and director of the Media Man group of companies.
I encourage everyone to read this excellent article by Asher Moses of the Age.

Up, Up, and Away: Cryptologic Launches Games Based on Superman, Braveheart and Forrest Gump
DUBLIN, IRELAND, Dec 14, 2009 - CryptoLogic Limited), a global developer of branded online betting games and Internet casino software, today announces a new downloadable game lineup that brings DC Comics' Superman and Paramount Pictures' Forrest Gump and Braveheart to many of the world's largest Internet casinos. The company also unveiled a new lobby for its popular Internet casino software.
The DC Super Heroes are not the only big entertainment brands making their debuts at Internet casinos this fall. CryptoLogic's other new games are based on feature film characters Forrest Gump and Braveheart, following a multi-year deal signed with Paramount Digital Entertainment.
"Big brands drive player popularity, and that is why CryptoLogic is excited to launch a game based on Superman, one of the most iconic brands of the entertainment world," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "By also adding Forrest Gump and Braveheart, CryptoLogic continues its industry leadership in launching branded games that resonate with both the casual and serious player. We aim for these games to be both popular and profitable."
The new game pack also features video slot games Just Vegas and Fumi's Fortune, a new table game in Perfect Pairs Blackjack, and the Asian influenced game Sic-Bo. Also introduced is a "Double Double Bonus" variant added to CryptoLogic's video poker line up.
New lobby enhances casino software experience
CryptoLogic has also unveiled a dramatic new lobby - now implemented at www.InterCasino.com - for its acclaimed downloadable Internet casino software. Using the newest interactive technology, the lobby enables improved navigation and search, an updated jackpot counter, customized features that allow players to keep track of their favourites, and a game suggestion engine to connect the player to other CryptoLogic games.
Superman
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! CryptoLogic brings non-stop casino game action in one of their most anticipated branded games ever. The company's third release with DC Comics features 50 lines and an optional bonus bet plus a unique expanding wilds free game feature. Players who trigger the feature will earn a chance to save the world, maneuvering though meteor fields, destroying missiles and leaving their mark as the World's Greatest DC Super Hero.
Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump says that life is like a box of chocolates, and the same holds true for CryptoLogic's new 25-line slot game. Players will never know what they're going to get: a big payout or one of three bonus features including the smashing new 5-level Hollywood Jackpots. Players will yell "Run, Forrest run!" as the excitement never stops.
Braveheart
The new Braveheart slot machine isn't eligible to win an Academy Award(R), but the movie that inspired it took home five of the golden statues. William Wallace is captured with all the sights, sounds and excitement of the feature film. Will the Scottish side prevail in the Battle Free Games feature, or will Longshanks put down the rebellion? You'll have to play to find out.
JUST VEGAS
Players will visit the glitzy and thrilling world of Sin City in this new All Pays slot game from CryptoLogic. It's like playing four games in one as Just Vegas offers players the choice of three completely different free game features, each with unique graphics, sounds and rules. Play with Stacked Wilds at the Asian Casino, increase your chances of re-triggering the feature at the Egyptian Casino, or have all your line wins multiplied by five at the Roman Casino. What happens in Just Vegas will not stay in Vegas, as players are sure to tell friends about this riveting new slot game.
FUMI'S FORTUNE
Fans of Japanese Game shows will enjoy the fast-paced action of Fumi's Fortune. Hosts Fumi and Aki preside in their wacky, manic studio, where players spin for Fumi money. Players will shout "Banzai!" after experiencing this entertaining game with its eye-popping graphics.
PERFECT PAIRS BLACKJACK
Based on the hole-card version of Blackjack, Perfect Pairs Blackjack is very similar to the Atlantic City and Vegas Blackjack variants in the current casino suite, with some small changes. There is an optional side-bet based on the player's first two cards and the popular surrender option is included. The gaming action is fast, and the potential winning furious, in CryptoLogic's new table game.
SIC-BO
Sic Bo had its origins in ancient Chinese gambling games and is very popular in casinos around the world. Players have the opportunity to place many types of wagers on the outcome of each round which consists of rolling three, six-sided dice. Bets are placed on individual dice, combinations of dice, and the totals of the three dice combined. CryptoLogic created three different types of Sic-Bo pay tables, with bets as low as 0.10 for Macau rules, 1.00 for Atlantic City, and 10.00 for the VIP version using the Australian pay table.
"These new games highlight CryptoLogic's extraordinary e-gaming innovation - and the extraordinary diversity of the brands in our stable," said Justin Thouin, CryptoLogic's Vice President. "With Superman, Braveheart and Forrest Gump in one game pack, it's a powerful blend of big brands and big games."
About CryptoLogic(R)
Focused on integrity and innovation, CryptoLogic Limited is a leading public developer and supplier of Internet gaming software. With more than 300 games, CryptoLogic has one of the most comprehensive casino suites on the Internet, with award-winning games featuring some of the world's most famous action and entertainment characters. The company's licensees include many top Internet gaming brands, including the "big four" international operators. CryptoLogic's leadership in regulatory compliance makes it one of the few companies with gaming software certified to strict standards similar to land-based gaming.

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.
