Back to Basics

There is plenty to do on the site, this much is clear. If anything, we confused you with all the options. Should I count a few? Weekly Edition videos, the fun way to catch up with the week's top news stories; Services for finding the top bonuses of the moment, most active poker rooms, and the top overall gambling action in real time; informative reviews, with videos accompanying videos, such as the one we have produced and uploaded for 32 Vegas Casino.

And more.

But as the title of this blog entry implies, we also offer basics; the simple joys in life. What other joy more simple, or simple more joyful, than Pacman?





We've set up a complete games section, where you can play games for free. Be it to pass the time, or even to practice your skills, especially with all that concerns casino games - Pacman and Co. are there with no download involved.

An inside tip: Online Casino Reports is in the process of stepping the games selection even more, to include more of the action, adventure, sports, puzzle, arcade and all the other games we already feature.

Start playing!

Bonuses on a Platter

To best introduce the Online Casino Reports Services, we'd like to start with one. Bonus Hunter.

Specializing in one element of the game, namely bonuses, the Service functions a lot like the other Services on the site, such as Poker Fever, Money Train, and the rest.

You can reach Bonus Hunter through the site's homepage, the Services channel or by following this link. This is what you will find:



A quick look at the list will reveal a bountiful of bonuses - all a click away.

In the central column, you will find a drop-down menu. You can pick what bonus you are interested in and the list will organize so that it will display these bonuses, anywhere online, in ascending or descending order. The choices are Welcome bonuses (the default value), Multiple Deposit Bonuses (bonuses for later deposits), and Payment Method Bonuses (extras for using certain payment methods).

The list, casinos and bonus amounts are not only updated around the clock, they are calculated anew with every visit you make to the Service. That is the maximum personalization we could conceive. Not only on-time, but on your time!

Additional columns include information such as wagering requirements, the software provider that is behind the casino offering the bonus, and most importantly - a link to the site where you can find the bonus.

Bonus Hunter, like other Services on the site, is designed for repeat visits - always finding you the bonus opportunity of the moment.

Finding Online Casino Reports

Search and you shall find. Someone said that sometime. We say it all the time.

Honest to our motto, that Online Casino Reports represents and serves the gambling community, we wish to share the various places on the web where you can find us. And there are many such ways.

First, naturally, and most obviously, is our website. You can enter the URL in your web browser, save it to your bookmarks as a favorite or access it any other way, any time of day or night.

Secondly, you can visit this blog and from here learn what's new on the site and access it too. The banner on the top right of this screen will send you straight to the site.

But the ways to find us are far greater than those we provide. For instance, our news articles are cited on such gambling websites as Gambling911 and APCW, the active website managed by J Todd in the United States.

In his videos, for instance, Todd often makes references to our news articles and presents the article on the screen as well. (Thanks J)

We can also be found on search results pages, when looking up gambling news on Google. Listing on Google News is quite a distinction, a sign that we're doing something right; at least we consider it as such...

And then there are our videos. OCR Live! productions - the Weekly Edition videos and the Casino Reviews, which we have released so far - are not only accessible on our site. They are all over the web! First and foremost is YouTube, where we have an entire channel you can subscribe and befriend, and even post comments and rate the videos. Additionally, our videos are posted and can be viewed at Yahoo Videos, MetaCafe, VEOH and DailyMotion.

There is even more. Can you find us anywhere else? Maybe on your blog? On Stumble or Digg? We're there! Search, and you shall find us!

Podcasts Killed the Video Star?

In honesty, I do not believe this is in any way the end of videos. Sites like YouTube, Yahoo Videos, and Online Casino Reports are moving to new directions, with higher quality videos, live feeds, and an ever growing selection of subjects, which with regard to our own, will include casino reviews, game guides and educational specials.

No, videos are nowhere near their end. You can continue finding them regularly updated at OCR Live.

But the news for today: Online Casino Reports enters podcasts.

Those easy to download video and audio files that we can take with us on our iPod player or other. And yes, we are in advanced stages of setting a platform that will be most convenient for you to use, and will give you a chance to take Online Casino Reports with you on the train to work, or in the car, or anywhere that your day will take you.

We will follow up and announce the official launch of the Online Casino Reports podcasts.

Until then, have a great weekend!
