According to rumors from America, a new film starring Hollywood a-lister Leonardo Di Caprio, will be based around online casinos and online poker.
The Film is reportedly written by Brian Koppelman and David Levien, the minds behind greats like ‘Rounders’ and ‘Oceans Thirteen’

The film is still untitled and still in the casting stages but, there’s nothing to say it won’t be called Vital Casino, Portal of a Casino player or even Virgin Casino review.

Judging by the lead and the script writers, it’s likely the film will be an action movie, or at least a crime thriller.

The likelihood of it being in a documentary style, following various online casino players around the daily life is very unlikely indeed.

With the film still in the pipeline more a-lister are still to be cast, here’s hoping there’s a lovely leading lady.

InterCasino is also offering the chance to take part in ‘The Big Break’, with outstanding prizes up for grabs, ranging from a Ferrari driving experience to VIP tickets to London fashion week or even a cooking experience with a top chef! If in the unlikely event that none of the prizes listed appeal to you then an alternative cash prize of £2000 is available.

To be in for a chance to experience the Millionaires way of life it is very simple. Players must beat targets of the ‘Big Break Challenge’, these can be found in your InterCasino inbox. If players beat their targets then they are offered cash bonuses alongside an invitation into the Millionaires club league. The top 3 winners of the league are in with the chance to pick their dream prize from the Millionaire lifestyle.

If you are new to InterCasino and join up in June, not only are you entitled to the fantastic join up bonuses but you are also automatically entered into ‘The big break’, where 3 winners are picked from random on the 1st July, so you could be in for the chance to pick from the top dream prizes.

The reason being unlike Intercasino or 32 Red casino, it doesn’t really have a console game feel to it.

Instead the site is very stylish it looks like the kind of casino James Bond would play at if he played at online casinos. You feel like you are spending money simply by visiting the site.

However the welcome bonus soon stops you from wanting to close the site down.

A huge €650 is on offer to all new players, at a 100% sign up bonus. Fortunately you don’t have to hand over €650 in one go. The offer lasts for a year. With new players able to get 100% match on deposits each month, for 11 months.

What attracted me the most to the site though is the size of the Jackpots. Now while they aren’t on the traditional casino games like blackjack and roulette. The Jackpots on the side games, will soon convert you. Jackpots range from €40,000 to more than €1million.

Its a site I would highly recommend you try!

Since opening a profile on Twitter, Gambling Planet felt obligated to make changes to is news frequency as readers now have the ability to access feed’s at any time of day.

Gambling Planet’s move to make their news feeds more frequent follows, that of other online gambling portals that currently update their news every day.

According to Gamblingplaent.org, the modifications were required in order to meet the needs of their readers, who have become more technically experienced.

Spokesperson for GamblingPlanet.org, Rachel Holland said, “We are in the midst of an information revolution, wherein comprehensive coverage of events are delivered as they happen. Political, economic, even celebrity news sources have adapted. So, too, must online casino news outlets.”

Rachel also said, that while there had been changes to Gambling Planet’s news format, it was still committed to supplying readers with gambling news of a high quality.

She went on to say, “Today, ‘current’ news is simply not enough, being ‘in the know’ means being in the ‘now’”.

Donald Trump the Billionaire, nicknamed “the Donald” watched as one of his companies had to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The colourful 62-year old resigned from his position as chairman of Trump Entertainment Resorts, a collection of three mega hotels and casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, only four days before.

Results from the last three months for Trump Entertainment Resorts showed a drop of $18million in revenues to $196.3million and a net loss of $102.2million.

Trump like most casino operators, is suffering from the current lack of trading within Las Vegas.

Atlantic City, where Trump owns the Trump Plaza, Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Marina casino-hotels, has witnessed gambling revenues drop by 7.6% in 2008 to $4.55bn. Atlantic City revenues now rival that of Las Vegas, which is unfortunately suffering worse than its east coast rival.

n August 2005, Trump Entertainment’s market value was $842 million. Now, its market value is estimated at $7.3 million

Two lucky women, Irma and Catherine on the 23rd and 27th of December managed to walk away with the grand prizes having only stake $1.

Both of them won their winnings on the Real-Video slots games Aladdin’s Wishes and Enchanted Garden. They were also quoted as saying very similar things, the armament of winning, and the excitement of the spending to come.

Irma hand planned to move house with her family (husband and three children) and said the winnings would go towards them being able to buy a nice place. Catherine however had not speculated as to what the winnings would be spent on.

A customer service manager at Silver Oak Casino, Mr Michael Daniels said “With the economy being as tough as it is, all we hear nowadays are doom-and-gloom stories. It’s always nice when we can share in the joy of a big jackpot with a customer. After all, all it takes is one click of the mouse to completely change someone’s life for the better. Every week we get to experience situations like that of Irma and Catherine, and every time it puts a smile on my face.”

Irma attributed her win to her husband’s decision stating it was he who chose to sign up at that site.

Fitch Ratings suggested that the “the steepest GDP decline since WWII” would be seen. A daunting prospect for the industry, and one that will see it struggle until 2010.

It is said to be from the impact of US consumers being stretched financially in 2009, from low confidence in the economy accompanied by weak employment trends.

Many investors did not expect the gaming industry to experience such an impact as it has from the difficult financial conditions consumers have suffered this year. Generally, gaming spend per visit has been affected more than visitation levels themselves, which can and have been strengthened by promotions.

Fitch also believes that due to external factors like the reduction in airline capacity, it is likely local markets will fare better than destination markets, such as the Las Vegas Strip.

In its Outlook of 2008, Fitch Ratings implied that it expected the gaming industry to be more economically sensitive than in previous downturns, something clear for all to see this past year.
