Jump into January with Fair Go Casino

January 11, 2023 by Admin

Fair Go casino is famous for providing a seemingly never-ending stream of awards, promotions and competitions, designed to bring you big wins. Now, with the dawn of the new year, the operator has launched another set of amazing bonuses that we’re sure you’re itching to get your hands on.

Luck Conversion

Friday the 13^th is commonly known as a day of misfortune across the globe, but Fair Go Casino is offering you the opportunity to turn this myth around and score big on the year’s first ‘unlucky’ day.

The casino’s 13 Free Spins Friday the 13^th promotion is currently running and will award you 13 free spins on a lucky mystery pokie. This offer is valid until January 31, 2023, and if you want in, you will have to have made at least one deposit transaction in January. Input the SOON-THIRTEEN bonus code once you have satisfied this requirement, and you will be on your way. The maximum you can take home from the free spins is $180 and the casino’s general terms and conditions apply.

Mystery Unveiled

An $11 bonus has been reserved just for you at Fair Go Casino. Once you have completed a January deposit, you can redeem your bonus credits by using the code 0601MYSTERY. Once again, the winnings ceiling for the promotion is $180, this bonus is only valid until January 31, and a $10 maximum bet rule applies.

For your convenience, Fair Go will process your withdrawal payments within 48-72 hours. Depositing funds into your account is a breeze with a full range of transaction options, including, but not limited to credit cards, Neteller, Skrill, Paysafecard, and Bitcoin. When the time comes to withdraw your hard-earned winnings, the range of deposit options has also been curated for optimal accessibility and includes the previously mentioned options, as well as Bankwire, POLI, and NEOSURF.

Peppermill Resort takes on Aristocrat’s Dragon

January 7, 2023 by Admin

Aristocrat Gaming’s Dragon Link pokie series comprises a collection of highly popular Asian-themed games with top-rated bonus features and massive jackpots to dish out. Now, Peppermill Resort Spa Casino in Northern Nevada is the new home to two $1m Dragon Link high-limit pokies from the provider. The freshly installed games can be found in the casino’s high-limit area.

These machines differ from wide-area progressive machines in that their jackpots are paid instantly for the entire value and will reset to $1 million afterwards. These pokies are a high-roller’s dream with a $25 minimum and a $2500 maximum bet.

Peppermill General Manager Billy Paganetti commented,

“We are excited to introduce this high-end slot game to our guests. We pride ourselves on offering the best quality slot products, and we think that guests will be thrilled to play this popular machine with a progressive jackpot starting at $1m.”

Fiery Introduction

Aristocrat recently introduced its Dragon Link pokie product at a showcase event held at Manila’s Solaire Resort & Casino on 19 July 2022. This three-day event served to launch the pokies to operators across Asia and to highlight the company’s latest innovations.

At the time, Lloyd Robson, the General Manager APAC at Aristocrat, said,

“It was an absolute pleasure to host our customers at our special showcase. The feedback on Dragon Link, and on our upcoming portfolio, was excellent. Of course, customers were focused on Dragon Link as a cornerstone for their ongoing strategy to deliver sustainable revenue growth while managing capital and cash flows.”

In more recent news, Aristocrat has almost finalized an acquisition deal for UK-based iGaming supplier Roxor Gaming. Roxor’s platform is currently live in New Jersey, and the acquisition will allow both companies to increase their presence across North America and the UK. While regulatory approval and customary closing conditions are still outstanding, the deal is expected to be completed in early 2023.

New Year, New Owners for Casino Canberra

January 3, 2023 by Admin

Aquis Entertainment began 2023 with its official exit from the casino sphere, following the finalized sale of Casino Canberra. The group recently announced that Iris CC Holdings is the new owner of the property, with an effective date of 1 January 2023.

The deal was sealed when Aquis received a $60.5 million completion payment, following the deposit that Iris had paid at the time of signing. Aquis expects completion adjustments to be completed in the near future, and a further $2.5 million in cash is being held in escrow, which will be released to Aquis nine months after completion, assuming there are no warranty claims.

This move has allowed Aquis to repay a loan to its majority shareholder, and to consider the way forward for the company. The group has advised that it is still determining how to use the funds from the sale, and the “future of Aquis as a listed entity.” Shareholders have been informed that they can expect answers to these questions by the end of January 2023.

End of an Era

Aquis’ outgoing director and CEO, Allison Gallaugher, said,

“As a Board, we are very pleased to have been able to negotiate and complete this transaction, which provides significant benefits to all stakeholders. As a CEO and employee, I am very excited to lead the Casino Canberra under Iris’s ownership and we look forward to continuing to grow the strong results we have built over the past few years and for the opportunities available for us all with Iris moving forward.”

While Gallaugher has stepped down as director and CEO of Aquis, she will continue as CEO of Casino Canberra. For its part, Iris has pledged administrative support to Aquis during the transitional period, with Gallaugher expected to continue to assist Aquis on related matters for a limited time.

December 17, 2022 by Admin

There is great news for Floridians who love Aristocrat Gaming’s Dragon Link and Lightning Link titles, as the provider has opened its first Lightning Link Lounge in the state, at Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee.

The lounge is dedicated exclusively to Dragon Link and Lightning Link pokies, offering 50 games for players to enjoy. This new facility marks a significant milestone in the long-running relationship between Seminole Gaming and Aristocrat Gaming which has proven to be a mutually beneficial one.

“We are always exploring ways to enhance the player experience at Seminole Casino Hotel. This new Link Lounge concentrates 50 of the most popular games in the industry in one place, allowing players to more easily access these two top favourites.”

Tom O’Brien, Aristocrat Gaming’s President of Americas and EMEA, also spoke about the launch, saying,

Buffalo Invasion

Earlier in the year, Aristocrat debuted its new Buffalo Ascension pokie, in the Indiana region, with machines being installed in Ameristar East Chicago Hotel & Casino, Blue Chip Casino, Resort, & Spa in Michigan City, and Four Winds Casino South Bend.

Buffalo Ascension is the latest in a series of around a dozen iterations of one of Aristocrat’s most iconic titles. The game features cutting-edge audiovisual components and engaging gameplay with persistent reel growth for up to 5 488 ways to win.

Take a Giant Spin with Crown Melbourne’s Big Wheel

November 22, 2022 by Admin

Crown Melbourne casino is all about huge winnings and larger-than-life experiences. Take, for example, the venue’s Big Wheel, a fun and simple game on a massive scale that pays out handsome prizes. The multi-coloured device has neon spokes that create a vibrant blur as it rotates, spinning to potentially pay you out a giant win.

These oversized bonus wheels are divided into segments which are marked by symbols. You get to see the odds associated with each segment on both the wheel and the table where you choose to play. The dealer spins the wheel, and you will win if the symbol you place your bet on turns out to be the lucky one chosen by the pointer.

The Nitty-Gritty

With the basics out of the way, let’s take a look at some of this game’s specific conditions. The first and most important rule is that to place your bet, you will need to convert your cash into non-value colour chips that do not have denomination markings. You can only use the colour chips you are issued at the specific Big Wheel table that you chose to play on, and they won’t work on any other games, so keep them separate from your regular casino chips.

All bets are final once the dealer declares ‘no more bets’ and you are responsible that your chips end up in the segment you want to bet on. If the wheel does not complete at least 3 revolutions, or if it isn’t clear which segment the pointer lands on, the dealer will spin again.

The odds start at 5 to 1 and go all the way up to 47 to 1, so everyone from safe bettors to high rollers is catered for. If you wager on the riskier side of things, you could take home a huge prize.
