Las Vegas 2005

Plans are underway for Las Vegas 2005. This year, we will be setting aside a block of rooms. Those interested in staying in these rooms should let me know ahead of time, and we'll handle reservations, etc. for them, and payment can be submitted to us. We expect to hammer out final details this week. Preliminary information:

Excalibur Hotel and casino
September 9 and 10, 2005
10:00am till 4:00 pm each day
I assure everyone, that this years event will be distinctive different. It is our intention to have a brunch buffet on at least one of the days, if not both and we are also planning a party the evening of day 2.

I am working on an official press release to distribute once I have the contract in my hands. I decided on these dates, because they immediately precede the CAC and G2E events, it will not conflict with either event in any way, and there will be the availability of affiliate managers and representatives there.

Another difference this year, is the general webmaster public is invited to attend. Everyone MUST register to attend.

Affiliate managers, must sponsor the event in some way to gain admittance. Various packages will be developed ranging from tickets, to booth type setups.

Please notify managers of the coming event, in case I might miss someone in my announcements. This IS NOT limited to GPWA Sponsors. It is open to any program wishing to sponsor. Contact John or Marlene for more information.


Gambling Federation Slots Mania

BELIZE , JANUARY 20 th 2005 – Since the second half of 2004, a true slot mania exploded at Gambling Federation. They managed to create 7 new themed slots, in less then 4 months, while completely redesigning their software. They aren’t planning to stop any time soon as many more trendy slots are planned for 2005.

All progressive Gambling Federation slots have 5 scatter symbols and players can get up to 5X the progressive jackpots on the max bet. Jackpot levels start at $25,000 and can reach amounts in excess of $150,000. Both progressive and traditional sots feature specials bonus symbols, if aligned in one of the 3 bonus patterns, players can win up to a 100X your bet.

Here is a review of which slots where launched:

Chicken Ranch is a traditional 15 lines table slot. It has a ranch them, meaning that all your favorite farm animals are there from the cutest chicks to a cooked turkey?! Big Top Bonanza is a traditional 20 lines table featuring a circus theme: elephants, acrobats and even cotton candy icons are there to make you remember your childhood days. Both slots feature a wild scatter symbol and award 10 000 coins of the played value if 5 of them are hit.

Lucky 888 and Mad Professor each feature 25 lines table unlike regular slots game. The odds at a 25 lines table are increased sixteen fold. Lucky 888 is a fully customized slot machine game that reflects a unique Asian theme. On the other hand, the Mad Professor slot is a bit more eccentric and features a crazy professor and his experimentations. They both also feature a wild icon awarding 10000 coins if they appear 5 times.

Golden Goal was the first progressive slot featuring a 15 line table in the Gambling Federation software suite. It was soon followed by the Jackpot Quarterback which featured a 20 line table. Both of these games are for soccer and football lovers. Golden Goal’s overall theme is soccer, and Jackpot Quarterback features a football theme. Gambling Federation developed its own Football and Soccer teams specifically for these games.

Atlantis is the newest baby of the Gambling Federation slots family. Atlantis has a fresh undersea theme featuring mermaids, under water animals and realistic aquatic sounds. The design is sure to pleasantly stun players.
