Click to open blog feed in your feed reader. Welcome to the
Suite Blog. If you didn't know already, it's the "sweet"
life here in the land of online casino gambling. There's
plenty to see, plenty to do, and plenty of money to be
won. And you know what else? There's plenty to talk about.
That's where I come in. I go by the penname of...err..."Sweetie".
So get ready for some cheese, 'cause I'm going to be sharing my personal views,
experiences and maybe even some sound advice. I take that
back. I will be sharing some sound advice. I may be
silly, but I know what I'm talking about. I
suppose I have to, considering Online Casino Suite has
tasked me to maintain a useful and entertaining blog for
its dedicated visitors like yourself. I have been doing
write-ups on the online gaming industry for nearly eight
years and know the landscape, so to speak. So if you will
permit and tolerate my digressions and stream of
consciousness, then I officially present to you The Suite
Blog. We add new blog entries throughout the month, so

Blog RSS and check back regularly. |
Jackpot City Mobile Bingo as Good as Lottery
June 30, 2009 - by Sweetie
If there was ever a way to play bingo, I would think
that your mobile phone would prove the most fun. First
off, I'm not just saying this because Jackpot City Bingo
recently developed a mobile version of their online
bingo platform. Sure, that's what partially inspired old
Sweetie to write this dang post, but as I like to always
say, "that's all in good timing"...more>>

Is That Antigua & Barbuda I Hear Whining?
June 25, 2009 - by Sweetie
Now, I'm not one to complain or anything (Did you notice
the tone of sarcasm? If not, try reading out loud and
imitating Gilbert Godfrey at the same time), but I'm
just a tiny bit annoyed with the Antigua Offshore Gaming
Directorate. Well, maybe I should say I'm annoyed with
the Antigua & Barbuda Financial
Services Regulatory Commission, and not necessarily the
offshore gaming branch...more>>

DiCaprio and Costa Rica Spells Online Casino Flick
June 18, 2009 - by Sweetie
Did ya hear?
Leonardo DiCaprio is being tapped to star in a film about
online casino gambling? And I'm not just talking about
any "online casino gambling" folks. I'm talking about
the online casino gambling that is of the Costa Rican
sort...more>>

There's More Than Palm Trees at Slots Oasis Online
Casino
June 10, 2009 - by Sweetie
So what's the fuss with this oasis of slots you ask?
Well, other than the fact that it offers a refreshing
drink of slots soup, ala, Real Time Gaming Software's
outstanding game graphics and functionality, the thing
that had me doing a double take about Slots Oasis is
there Welcome Bonus...more>>

Instant eCheck Not So Instant at Online Poker Rooms
June 4, 2009 - by Sweetie
If you're an
active online poker player, you've probably heard by now that the popular
cash withdrawal service known as eCheck has been shut down. Heck, you may
even be owed some money. The last tally in frozen funds, apparently, is now
over $30 million. It started off with a seizure of $19 million from a bank
in Arizona and one in Los Angeles, and has now reached over the $30 million...more>>

Tweets for the Littlewoods Bingo Playing Peeps
May 31, 2009 - by Sweetie
Littlewoods Bingo is now on Twitter. I just read a press
release stating something to this effect. In addition to
emails, newsletters, text messages, commercials,
advertisements and so on, Littlewoods is now "tweeting"
their way into people's lives...more>>

Mega Moolah's Saucy Summer of Love
May 26, 2009 - by Sweetie
Microgaming's new batch consists of four video slots -
but the one that got my attention right off the bat was
Mega Moolah Summertime. Just throw "mega moolah" on top
of anything, and you're sure to nab some stares, right?
The original Mega Moolah video slot offers one of the
largest progressive jackpots in the online gambling
industry, and has churned out more than one millionaire
in its time, including the largest single-win jackpot to
date...more>>

Why Don't You Paint Yourself Red and Get Lucky?
May 21, 2009 - by Sweetie
If you hadn't noticed already, the latest addition to
OCS reviews (with a homepage placement I might add), is
none other than Lucky Red Casino (I already said that,
didn't I?) Anyhow, Lucky Red is another U.S. facing
casino under management of the Club World Casinos group,
and should not be confused with Cherry Red - and
definitely not with Lucky 18 Casino...more>>

Casino.com Has More Than 100% Relevancy
May 16, 2009 - by SweetieThe good news is that Casino.com is not one of those
sleazy start-ups who bought a crap load of great domain
names at the height of the dot com boom. On the contrary,
Casino.com is owned and managed by a licensed establishment
with credentials pointing to none other than the
Gibraltar Gambling Control Board - arguably, one of the
strictest online gambling regulatory jurisdictions
today...more>>

Barney Frank Gambling Bill Irks Greedy Casinos
May 8, 2009 - by SweetieThis new bill being introduced by Congressman Barney
Frank is supposed to do all that. But now that the
details of the bill are known, many an online betting
site operator is whining because of the potential tax
structure. Apparently, if Barney Frank's bill gets
passed, online betting operators who take wagers from
U.S. citizens are going to get the crap taxed out of
them...more>>

More Than Just Food - It's Keno at DeNero's
May 3, 2009 - by Sweetie
Yes indeed, I love stories like
this. It's almost as good as that
small but growing congregation that
refuses to vacate a Catholic church
closed by the Diocese (also in
Massachusetts). Little 'ol Cohasset,
Massachusetts is the town where the
Lottery Commission has granted a
Keno license to a local restaurant
called DeNero's. No, it's not
Robert's - or should I say "Bobby's"
restaurant. I don't think they even
spell their name the same...more>>

Cryptologic's Best Online Casino Game Release in 2009
April 29, 2009 - by Sweetie
You might recall Cryptologic's new game release earlier this month. I
know I did. Sure, like always, Crypto's PR people got the news out all over
the internet, not to mention my mailbox - but most importantly, I've got to
say this was one of Cryptologic's best releases ever - certainly the best in
2009 thus far...more>>

Barona Casino Video Contest to Give Away $22,000
April 24, 2009 - by Sweetie Barona Resort and Casino, which is a
top-rated Indian casino located in beautiful San Diego
(I love how I just said San Diego is "beautiful" and yet
I've never been there), announced a video competition in
which the winner will win $5,000, while an additional
$17,000 in cash prizes will be shared by finalists and
even the online voters themselves - which could be you!
(Oh boy - I've got the announcer's microphone in hand - here I go again)...more>>

Good Odds for U.S. Online Gambling Legislation?
April 18, 2009 - by Sweetie
So now that Congressman Barney Frank has finally laid
out the bill which many believe is the one piece of
legislation that stands a chance at overturning the UIGEA and regulating online gambling in the U.S. (actually,
it is the only piece of legislation), I think it's nigh time I
blogged about it. Sure, it's been a long time coming...more>>

Microgaming's Latest Batch of Online Video Slots
April 13, 2009 - by Sweetie
There are plenty of new online casino games to talk
about right now...so rather than go off on a tangent -
something which I am definitely prone to doing - let me
begin by actually talking about the latest games to come
out this month. As usual, the two software developers
releasing new games are Microgaming and Cryptologic. Let's cover
Microgaming shall we?...more>>

US DOJ Plays Online Poker With UIGEA Cards!
April 9, 2009 - by Sweetie
When the U.S. government passed the Unlawful Internet
Gambling Enforcement Act, most people thought that meant
the U.S. Department of Justice was going to start enforcing a ban on internet gambling. Well,
that may be true to a certain extent. But then again, who
needs to enforce, when you ban blackmail, right?...more>>

Guess Who's Still Talking About Cryptologic?
April 3, 2009 - by Sweetie
If there was an award for the online casino software
developer who made the most news headlines, it would no
doubt be Cryptologic - at least if we're talking about
most recent times. Everybody who's familiar with the top non U.S. facing software giants,
aka Cryptologic, Microgaming and Playtech, knows these guys
equally share the headlines. Depending on a new game
release, online casino licensee or software upgrade,
everybody's time under the sun varies. And lately, it's all
Cryptologic...more>>

Czech One up for Online Gambling Regulation
March 31, 2009 - by Sweetie
Anyhow, the Finance Ministry of the Czech Republic has
decided it wants to regulate online gambling. Don't ask
me how or why - all I know is that online gambling will
officially be "legal" in the Czech Republic when all is
said and done. Now, here is where things get most
interesting...more>>

Thank God for the Online Bingo Summit
March 24, 2009 - by SweetieAll jokes aside (c'mon...do you think I could even pass
for scandalous...ooooweeee honey, it's gettin' hot in
here!), I wanted to bring your attention to the Online
Bingo Summit. Sounds fun don't it? And while you won't
catch me partying there (okay, maybe at the
after-party's with bingo card in hand), the Online Bingo
Summit is important for a number of reasons...more>>
