This from our development team:

"Lately OCR has been undergoing major upgrades (which we have not finished yet). Most noticeable is the pages loading time, mainly the front page. We have improved the site loading time by almost 90% and it's now much better than it used to be. Improvements were in our server, code, scripts and site efficiency.

"The new upgrade shall give you, the user, a much better experience and a better way to explore our site and use its services.

"Also we introduced a simple (a basic version for now, until we recode it) of a new way to search our site, using the Google Site Search engine. Search by Tags has moved to both the site results page and the main tags page. Also note that the tag search bar has been changed to give the user a faster response with better results."

Online Casino Reports is proud to announce the 40th website - Online Casino Reports Argentina.

This localized, Spanish language portal promises to bring Argentine players the best of online casinos, poker rooms, bingo halls and sports betting.

Over the past year, OCR has launched localized sites for players in different countries, speaking different languages, using local currencies. Products - casinos, poker rooms, bingo and sportsbooks - on each such site are handpicked to assure they cater to the local gambling communities, from the support teams who speak the language through payment solutions that are backed by local banks.

Argentine too, even though a Spanish language site already exists in the OCR network, has a site for it.

It's in Spanish, as are the casinos listed on it are all Spanish speaking portals, which also accept the Peso (ARS).

Now players from Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Rosario, Mendoza, Tucuman and other Argentine cities - a total of 40 million Argentines, have an online gambling portal they can call home.

We leave you with a Bienvenida "Welcome" blessing from the fine people of Argentina.

As becoming a leading online casino portal, Online Casino Reports has been recognized as a Reputable Portal by gaming industry's watchdog, eCOGRA.

The non-profit organization, eCOGRA - eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance - is an independent standards authority of the online gaming industry, for actual gaming platforms and portals, such as OCR.

The seal of approval was granted following an extensive audit by eCOGRA specialists. It is testimony for the portal's professionalism and integrity, both sharing player protective ideals and objectives for honest and ethical conduct.

This means recognition not only of Online Casino Reports, which will be inspected, periodically by eCOGRA, but also of the online casinos, poker rooms and all gaming platforms listed on the portal, as safe, certified and fair.

In a matter of two weeks, the golf scene has changed dramatically. All of a sudden, the golf world is famous for the following names:

Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs, Jamie Jungers, Cori Rist, Holly Sampson, Mindy Lawton, Kalika Moquin, and some references to Elin Nordegren, of course, too.

Where have PGA players Geoff Ogilvy, Anthony Kim, Davis Love III, Sean O'Hair, Justin Leonard and Ernie Els gone?

Apparently, there is still some betting action over golf at William Hill Sports and other sportsbooks. We leave you - how could we do otherwise - with some of the faces.

Judgment of Solomon – Slots Version

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 at 8:34 AM
Written by Daniel O

Questions of Truth and Justice have haunted humankind throughout history. King Solomon, in the famous Judgment of Solomon story, was approached by two mothers, who had each argued a baby boy was theirs (1 Kings 3:16-28).

Anguish and jealousy have also played roles in this episode, which ended when the King ordered for a sword to split the live son in two, for each woman to receive half. (The story ends with the true mother of the boy asking the King to spare the child's life, thus revealing her true motherly instincts.)

Now there is another wise judge in France! A French court in Montpellier, Reuters reports, has split a 2 million euros jackpot between the woman who put in the money and the man who pulled the lever.

Marie-Helene Jarguel and Francis Sune were gambling partners. Marie-Helene placed 50 euros in the slot machine, and Francis activated the machine.

Jarguel was allowed to keep 80% of the earnings while giving 20% to Sune.

We know these guys for years and we know they work hard. If there is a bonus, a tournament, some promotion, competition, or anything - they've probably run it at one time or another.

Currently, JackpotCity Casino is giving away free cash, £25 free, for every new customer.

The way the no deposit bonus works is that you have to do nothing and they will give you £25. That's why it's called "no deposit bonus".

There are other promotions going on at JackpotCity, some that compensate new players with a matching bonus - added funds to their accounts. Other bonuses are to existing players. But a free, no deposit bonus of £25 is quite incredible.

And instant. Literally 1 click away from this link to the casino review page.

Use your bonus to play any game you like - Slots, Video Poker, Video Slots, Roulette, Blackjack - at Jackpotcity online casino.
