Online Gambling Roundup Sep-09-09

Howdy all, and welcome to Wednesday’s roundup of all that is wonderful from the strange world of online gambling. It’s a late summer heat wave in the UK at the moment so let’s try and brighten the day with some good news from 32red, who are

Introducing Kung Fu Monkey

in their latest update :

Kung Fu Monkey is the star in a new slot set to be released into our online casino this October. This hard-hitting primate provides top entertainment as he battles through 5 reels and multiple opponents in an off-screen bonus game adventure. With a hefty combined jackpot punch of over 80,000 coins Kung Fu Monkey is set to be a real knockout!

Sounds downright dangerous to us - but hey, cash is cash I guess!

You’ve got a bit of a wait until it’s released but it’ll be worth it. Trust me, I saw the pre-release demo from Microgaming yesterday and it looks the business. Kung Fu Monkey would be a top slot without the street fighting bonus game, with great artwork and generous slot symbols and engine, but with it Kung Fu Monkey moves into a league of its own and right up there with the likes of Hitman, Tomb Raider - the Secret of the Sword and the Great Galaxy Grab.

Online Versus Bricks And Mortar Play

:

For the past six years, the European Poker Tour has been the most visible arena for a fundamental clash occurring in the game: the collision between the established live circuit and the freneticism of the online tables.

Internet sensations have buzzed into the bricks and mortar environment and won massive prizes in these major events. Likewise established pros and veterans of casino poker have frequently hit back, schooling the new kids with their instincts and obduracy, proving that there’s life in these old dogs yet.

This week in Barcelona, though, we have seen an almost perfect analogue of an online tournament, only with real chips and chairs. It seemed today, as we went from 23 players to our final eight, that every player was going simply for the win, rather than just a final table appearance. The much-vaunted “three, four, five bet with air” was not just the favoured move, it was seemingly the only way to play.

We’re not sure what that means either - lots of bluffing going on we guess…

There was no better example than what occurred nine-handed, when Carter Phillips and Marc Goodwin, the two chip leaders, had more than a million in the middle by the time four cards were out: [9d][10h][qd][ah]. At that point, Phillips slid in about 700,000, and persuaded Goodwin to open fold ace-king. Phillips then showed [6c][8c] in one of the most audacious moves we’ve ever seen.

Cruel as it is to cut the talented and eloquent PokerStars folks off at this point, you can always read the rest of Wednesday’s post at the PokerStars blog.

Betfair Tip

next :

Upton Seas is evidently on an upward curve and should give it a good shot under a penalty. However, Funday’s proven ability to act on this idiosyncratic track counts for plenty and she can gain compensation after failing by just a neck to reel in Cill Rialaig here last time. Straits of Hormuz is the pick of the remainder.

You can find more tips over at Wednesday’s post at the Betfair blog.
