It’s been a while since I’ve updated everyone on how the banking situation is shaping up, so here’ the latest news.
Outside the US things are more or less stable,  unless of course you live in France or Canada! If you are French, we recommend using Entrpoay as your primary deposit option.  If you’re living in Canada and have had problems with UseMyBank, Entropay is also a great option for you.
For those Americans among us, you can still try using your traditional VISA cards and some VISA gift cards. Remember, we can offer you the UseMyWallet option. Just contact our support team ( support@jackpotfactory.com ) for details..

Let’s hope one day all the governments in the world come to their senses and allow their citizens the rights to choose where they want to game and how they want to pay!

It’s been a while since I’ve posted about the hot games… with all the news going on I almost forgot that’s probably the most interesting thing.

If you want some seriously hot games, be sure to check out Break da Bank, Thunderstruck, or Spring Break! All three have paid out over $1 million since the beginning of the month! Anybody out there benefited from these games yet?

The latest from the casino floor is to stay away from Cash Splash and Isis. Both are colder than the North Pole.

Be sure to let me know what’s been hot and cold for you and I’ll update our audience.

I know I just told you about the recent Online Gambling Insider awards, but now I’ve got some more great news. The Casinomeister, Bryan Bailey, has come out with his 2007 Meister Awards and I’m proud to announce the following two winners:

• Best Casino Group: Jackpot Factory
• Best Affiliate Program: BrightShare

For those that don’t know, Bryan is one of the most well-respected individuals in the online casino business. His site, http://www.casinomeister.com, is visited by thousands – if not more – every week. People look to him for advice, promotions, news, and anything else that’s related to the online casino business.

And by the way, for those that do not know, BrightShare is our exclusive affiliate partner. It’s run by Lloyd Apter, a close colleague of mine. So if you’ve ever thought of going into the affiliate business, he’s the guy to speak to.  

Besides running a top class organization, Lloyd is one of the nicest, down to earth guys in the business. So I repeat – if you’ve ever thought of going into the online casino affiliate business, or even if you once heard the term “affiliate,” but you’re not sure what that means, then Lloyd’s the guy to speak to. You can reach him at lloyda@brightshare.com 

Anyways, check back on the blog soon, as I’m going to look at the casino stats and let you know which games are “on”!

The Jackpot Factory just won some key awards from Online Gambling Insider:

• Online Gambling Insider’s Best Overall Online Casino 2007 – All Jackpots Casino
• Online Gambling Insider’s Best Online Casino Promotion 2007 – All Jackpots Casino
• Online Gambling Insider’s Best Slots Casino 2007 – All Slots Casino

So without further due, I want to thank the hard working staff at the Jackpot Factory! They really give it their all so you can have a top-notch online casino experience. And I know a lot of people might think this is lip service, but without our dedicated staff, we would never be able to win these prestigious awards.

I look forward to bringing you more great news and as they say, let the good times roll!

Well the cat’s out of the bag regarding our imminent launch of Bingo but there is another very exciting development I’d like to share with everyone. Mircogaming, our software provider is going to be releasing an updated version of the Tomb Raider slot machine. It’s called Tomb Raider 2! (Hey, we didn’t choose the name!)

Tomb Raider has pretty much been one of the most popular games since its release so it’s a safe bet to assume the second version will be just as successful. The launch isn’t a secret but we haven’t even seen any images yet so it looks like they are trying to keep the whole thing hush hush. As soon as we get some images I’ll post them.

For those Tomb Raider fans among us, get ready for the next level of slots play!

Well the ball (although balls would be more correct) is really rolling on our new Bingo product and I have to tell you that the software is amazing. In fact, I have been enjoying playing it so much, I almost forgot to update you regarding Bingo at All Slots.The Bingo Manager has informed me that the launch will be around March 1st 2008 (just in time for Mother’s day).  She’s actually being a little secretive about the launch so I am sure that we should be expecting something fantastic.  Anyway, I’m going to see if I can get any more information out of her to post on the blog. If you are interested in receiving Bingo information as it happens, then just let me know.

I’m off to see if I can learn some of this Bingo Lingo before the launch!

Well, I’m back from Australia. After two amazing weeks of summer, it’s back to the reality of winter, but don’t think I come back empty handed. No, my trip to Australia was an eye-opening experience. The wildlife down under is absolutely stunning and it really gave me a perspective of how big – and diverse – this world really is. I know every year people come out with New Year’s resolutions like they’re going to try and lose some weight or go to the gym (that was mine last year), but this year my resolution is not going to focus on me. That’s correct. Rather than put the spotlight on me I’m going to try and make the world a better place. I’m going to be more involved in ecological issues that can and will preserve our world, so that in another 50 years when people visit Australia, they’ll see the same magnificent country that I saw. And just like the movie Pay It Forward, I hope my little contribution will have a big effect on the world.
