We’re popping over to the 32Red blog next

for their Saturday post :

We’ve previously posted that the revolutionary Kung Fu Monkey slot is hitting the online casino in October, but now we know there will be three more new games joining our deadly, yet generous monkey this autumn. Look out for another two online slots and a fantastic table game in the casino lobby next month.

Since the folks at 32Red have wandered onto the subject of slots, don’t forget to take a look at our guide on how to Play fruit machines online for free.

Although Kung Fu Monkey is the stand-out game this October, it shouldn’t overshadow some other exciting entries to the online casino. Pure Platinum is beautifully designed 5 reel and 40 payline online slot that is capable of producing wins as great as 100,000 coins through free spins. And, speaking of free spins, this new game allows you to pick the number and the size of the multiplier bonus, which is pretty nifty!

Wooly World may seem familiar to fans of a popular series of animated films. Of course, we can’t name it, but let’s just say we’ve been waiting an Ice Age for such a slot to appear…This 5 reel and 20 payline video slot is packed with humorous characters and bonus features that can power spinners to 100,000 coins!

Apologies for cutting the splendid 32Red folks off in mid-features, but you can read the rest of Saturday’s freezing cold post at the 32Red blog.

Golf Distractions at UltimateBet

is our next port of call :

Since my last blog, I have been playing more cash games and less multi table tournaments on Ultimate Bet. I really want to play cash games more often, especially live when I get to Vegas. The intense volume I am able to put in online is great practice and I am still turning a nice profit. The rest of the time that I haven’t been playing or blogging, I have been spending playing golf.
I’m trying to get back into the game of golf after not playing for about three years. I played golf in high school at a very small private school and was fairly decent. I remember buying my first set of irons for about $250. I wasn’t completely satisfied with them but they were new and what I could afford at the time. Throughout the four years I played in high school I felt that I was an inferior player partially because of the equipment I was using. The whole set of clubs that I bought in 2000 were still in my garage at the beginning of this year. Deciding to get back into the game, I told myself that I needed new equipment because mine was outdated and hindering my performance on the course. Clearly the reason why I was subpar in high school was because I had mediocre clubs and the small mark in my driver was definitely affecting how straight my drives were and was causing me to hit it in the rough more often (or so I thought).
One of my high school golf teammates now owns golf shop. I contacted him and got fitted for my new equipment that was going to make me a scratch golfer for sure.
