Tournaments of this nature often hold huge numbers of participants, sometimes in excess of 800 people, but unfortunately for the Isle of Man the only casino on the island simply lacks the space required for such a large event. The DED have been having conversations together with the Sefton Group’s Palace Hotel concerning the prospects for holding such tournaments at alternative locations, which would be licensed temporarily by the Gambling Supervision Commission. One particular suggested venue is Douglas’s very own Villa Marina.

“The Department has identified a chance to be able to catch the attention of live gaming events to the island with all of the affiliated economic advantages they will bring in relation to increased bed nights, spend in the local economic system and elevated passenger volumes on airplanes serving the island,” said Minister for Economic Development John Shimmin. “At the current time regulations limit which locations can be employed for such functions. The suggested Casino (Amendment) Bill will offer the Gambling Supervision Commission the capabilities to grant short-term licences for these situations at a broader range of possible sites.”

Currently three completed sets of plans are being consider for the location, with Apollo Resorts seeking permission to build their proposed casino on the same site currently home to the Stadium MK. Aspers (who already have a number of casinos in London and the surrounding areas) are actively setting out plans for integrating their potential casino with the immensely popular Xscape indoor skiing centre. Grosvenor are of course in on the action too, and apparently seeking to make use of the Leisure Plaza location.

Each of the applicants have been asked to submit clarifying documents by the council with a deadline of 1st January 2012, fueling suspicions that the applications are likely to be reviewed quickly to be ready for the upcoming Olympic games. Philip Winsor, assistant director of regulatory services for the Milton Keynes council, told members of the press that February is not necessarily an “absolute and definitive deadline” and that “It’s about getting the best outcome for Milton Keynes”. He said whilst nothing is at this stage certain, a final decision can be expected by March at the latest.

The MegaJackpots network has at long last surpassed the £3 million mark. MegaJackpots has the obliquitous differentiation of being a significantly slow growing progressive jackpot. Even considering this immense level it is only rising by a paltry £1,000 a day. The likely reason for this is that despite the network’s popularity the jackpot has never actually been hit. There is no past record to compare against, which causes uncertainty in the mind of a player. Once the first jackpot is claimed it will proceed to draw much more traffic and should grow at a much faster pace. WagerWorks are the masters behind MegaJackpots. An impressive three online slot games are networked to this jackpot, each providing excellent gameplay. These include the all-time classics Monopoly, and Cluedo, in addition to the newer Cleopatra. All of these can be played now at Virgin Casino.

The progressive jackpot of the Microgaming managed Mega Moolah network has also recently crossed an impressive milestone of 2.5 million. Players can bet on this jackpot in an assortment of currencies including British Pounds, American Dollars, and Euros. The lucky winner will receive the Moolah in the chosen currency. 2.5 million certainly does sound exciting, but it is not the highest the Mega Moolah jackpot has ever reached. The very first hits on this network were 4 million plus, 5 million plus and a staggering 6 million plus respectively. This was a long time ago however, and more recent hits have been under 3 million credits. Mega Moolah slot can be sampled at various online casinos including Spin Palace, All Slots, and River Belle. The slot games available via this network are Isis, Mega Moolah, 5 Reel Drive, and Summertime.

Playtech’s own progressive jackpot online slot, Beach Life, has of late reached a very respectable 1 million credits. This is without doubt one of the more volatile progressive slot games. The lowest hit recorded was 210,493 credits, with the highest one clocking in at over 4.24 million credits. It is currently increasing at over 20,000 credits a day, indicating a huge amount of interest. Beach Life can be found at all Playtech online casinos including favourites Casino Las Vegas and Noble Casino.

Finally, another network to cross the million credits line is the Shopping Spree and Midlife Crisis. Much like MegaJackpots, it is very slow growing and has not yet been hit. Its growth rate, in fact, is markedly less than MegaJackpots. Shopping Spree and Midlife Crisis can be played at Cherry Red Casino, Slots Oasis Casino, and all other Realtime Gaming online casinos.

The National Lottery had this to say: “This is amazing news… we are absolutely delighted that a UK ticket holder has scooped the entire 185 million euro jackpot, which at the current exchange rate is a massive £161m… This is the biggest winner this country and Europe has ever seen and follows hot on the heels of the anonymous ticket-holder who last October scooped £113m… In addition, two UK ticket holders in the next prize level down won £1.7m for matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star… We’ve got the champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the ticket holders into the National Lottery millionaires’ club.”
