32Red has announced that one of its players claimed a second large jackpot win from the same slot machine in under a month. The lucky player has taken home a total of £37,864.09 in just 17 days and becomes one of the online casino’s luckiest customers.

With a history of big winners, 32Red can demonstrate a series of large payouts that include a £1,094,112.81 win on Major Millions, which was one of the biggest payouts ever recorded at an online casino, and £1,000,641 on King Cashalot. Both of these wins came from one of 32Red’s 150+ slot machines and represent just two of twelve jackpot games available at 32Red, including Mega Moolah - the jackpot to which currently stands at over £4,500,000.

Remarkably, these latest jackpots all came from the same slot machine, Cash Splash. The casino reports the probability of this happening as very low, with Ed Ware, 32Red CEO, remarking “Although large jackpot wins are quite common at 32Red, the chances of the same player winning the jackpot from the same game twice in a month are both staggering and wonderful.”

The player from Dorset logged in as normal on the 9th October and loaded the Cash Splash progressive online slot game, triggering the jackpot of £22,949.09 shortly after. He then logged in again on the 26th October and won a further £14,915, making a total payout of £37,864.09 for him in October. Ware said, ”This series of big wins couldn’t come at a better time too, with another winner at 32Red well and truly beating the credit crunch in October and lining up a very special Christmas”.

The Cash Splash progressive slot is available to play in two forms - as a 3 reel, single payline slot and a 5 reel, 15 payline machine. The jackpot is triggered by the game’s logo symbol falling across the reels on the selected payline. When this happens the displayed jackpot total within the game is the figure won by the player. This amount varies and is connected to how much the game is played, with a fraction added to the jackpot every time the reels are spun. After the player’s second win, the jackpot was reset and now stands at over £11,500, prompting Ware to ask, “Can this same player make it 3 wins in short succession? Either way it has to be his luckiest autumn and we wish him the best of luck in the future”.

Mindome™, a game design company, announces the launch of Tredoku – the new puzzle that redefines the logic game playing experience. Tredoku brings architecture, graphic design and art together into one fun creation. These characteristics allow the game to have endless forms with an additional phenomenon of spatial logic – an added visual challenge. The game was created to explore a new world of puzzle possibilities that makes use of three dimensional space, rather than the flat puzzles available today.

Tredoku developer Eyal Amitzur, a young Tel Aviv architect, places sudoku in space! The idea came to mind as he wondered what would happen if Sudoku was freed from the square and became a visual experience. “When you look at a building’s blueprints, you must use creative thinking to connect these flat drawings into a three dimensional whole in your head – this was my model for building Tredoku,” he explains. Amitzur’s only concern about the design constraints was to keep Sudoku rules. Since the new puzzle needed to appear “spatial” on a flat piece of paper, Amitzur had to search further to make his new game a real visual experience. “While studying in Milan, I went to many art exhibitions and sat in bookstores for hours”, he recalls. “M.C. Escher, the graphic artist with his impossible worlds had influenced theTredoku design, as well as artist Bridget Riley of the Op-Art movement, who made amazing paintings that ‘pop out’ of the flat canvas.”

Besides infinite possible forms, Tredoku incorporates creative thinking; the use of both the logical (left) and dimensional (right) sides of the brain. The bent form is a visual challenge that makes the game more fun to play.

When tested, Tredoku generated enthusiastic responses worldwide. Top mathematicians praise it, while fans from over 70 countries claim that Tredoku is a “truly stimulating and challenging mind game.”

“Tredoku Easy”, “Tredoku Beginners” and “Tredoku Kids™” books are available on Amazon sites worldwide as well as on “The Book Depository” site in the UK, which offers free worldwide shipping when purchased through www.tredoku.com.

Graphic files of puzzle examples suitable for publication are available upon request

GAME, Europe’s premier video game retailer, has launched a new, innovative advergame where the prize is the player’s wish list. GAME hopes the offer of such a prize will encourage more users to create wish lists at game.co.uk.

Understanding that the campaign will have to work hard to standout from the crowd, GAME has created a concept that taps into two of the great debates among gamers: which consoles and are the best and who are the best players?

Split between ‘retro’ gamers who grew up with Pacman and Asteroids and the ‘next generation’ of consoles, such as the Wii and Playstation 3, players can choose which team they want to represent.

To ensure a successful and high quality campaign, GAME commissioned the winners of the Games category at the New Media Age Effectiveness Awards 2008, 4T2 Multimedia, for consultancy and production. 4T2 split their staff into two groups of different age ranges to produce stylised content for each of the teams in the campaign creating a passionate and competitive development.

With ten levels in the initial launch of the viral game, the campaign from GAME has a long lifespan and will be generating repeat visits for many months. Levels 1 – 7 can be played from all over the web while levels 8 -10 are only available for play on game.co.uk. Each level includes hidden crates that players can find which was tied into a weekly competition, enabling GAME to keep talking to players and give the gamers and bloggers an additional storyline to find and share where the crates were hidden.

The “Console Wars“ viral game also features an integrated communication plan for all players in the form of a weekly branded e-mail containing hints tips and links to strategy guides. Players who have not yet set up a wish list will receive a custom e-mail reminding them to do so otherwise they won’t win any prizes.

The winner of “Console Wars“ will receive a grand prize of £1000 worth of their wish list while five runners up will win £200 of their wish list. Each time a level is completed the player doubles their number of entries into the prize draw.

GAME has created “Console Wars” in such a way that new levels can easily be added and expanded. The video game retailer plans to engage in debate with users to find out what new characters should be added and help shape the game’s future.

GAME hopes the combination of great playability and the company’s interaction with players of ”Console Wars” will encourage users to create their Christmas wish list at game.co.uk in the hope of winning the grand prize.

GAME is Europe’s leading specialist retailer of computer software and video games. The Group currently operates from over 400 stores in the UK and Eire and 400 stores in continental Europe and Australia. For further corporate information log ontowww.gamegroup.plc.uk.

Lottery.co.uk, the premier web site for independent lottery news and views, has warned lottery players to be on their guard against losing their tickets after revealing that a large amount of money is still to be claimed by winners.

Lottery tickets might only cost a relatively small amount of money to buy, but they can be worth millions if the right numbers come up. Unfortunately, many people fail to take care of their lottery tickets and the end result is that they are unable to claim any prizes that those tickets win. Lost lottery tickets can therefore mean lost fortunes.

Winning UK Lottery players have 180 days to claim their prize, and if that deadline isn’t met, the prize is forfeited as far as the player is concerned. In February 2006 a prize worth £9.4 million was forfeited by a customer in Yorkshire because of this rule, and although that is currently the biggest unclaimed prize on record, several other multi-million pound wins have also gone unclaimed.

According to Lottery.co.uk, the largest prize currently waiting to be claimed is for almost £450,000, with other unclaimed prizes coming to a total of over £1 million.

“Over the past few years an astonishing number of prizes have been forfeited,” said a Lottery.co.uk spokesman, ”In fact there is rarely a month in which at least a handful of prizes aren’t waiting to be claimed, and many of these are worth five or six figures.”

Prizes that aren’t claimed in time to meet the 180 day deadline are added to a fund for good causes.

If a lost lottery ticket is found by someone else, any prize that the ticket has won may be legally claimed by the person in possession of the ticket due to a lottery ticket being a bearer instrument, which means it legally belongs to the person who holds it. Lost lottery tickets could therefore be claimed by anyone who is lucky enough to find one before the 180 day deadline has passed.

In an effort to stop prizes remaining unclaimed Lottery.co.uk has recommend that players buy lottery tickets online. Tickets bought online are uniquely associated with the individual. This means that they can’t be lost and no prize won by a lottery ticket bought online can be claimed by anyone else.

Barclaycard has announced the inaugural Barclaycard World Freerun Championships which will be staged in September at Camden’s iconic Roundhouse. This standout occasion for the capital features a specially designed course constructed as a massive challenge for more than 20 top-flight international freerunners.

Freerunning began as an urban expression of freedom and athleticism in Paris in the 1990s. Its exponents perform breathtaking combinations of running, climbing, jumping, vaults, spins, flips and somersaults, usually across an urban landscape.

This groundbreaking Barclaycard sponsored event will be a global celebration, showcasing the awesome artistry of the world’s best athletes in this incredible urban sport. Each will perform to the accompaniment of his own individually selected soundtrack and in a unique twist, each will be judged by his fellow competitors. The Barclaycard World Freerun Champion will be the athlete who displays the greatest skill, complexity and above all, fluidity or “flow”.

Sponsorship of the World Freerun Championships marks an exciting time for Barclaycard. Dan Mathieson, Barclaycard Head of Sponsorship, said, “Barclaycard is really excited to be bringing the inaugural World Championships of this spectacular, fast growing sport to London. We feel the fluidity and freedom of movement associated with free running mirror the key needs of Barclaycard customers, especially those using the Barclaycard OnePulse card in London allowing contactless travel and purchases across the capital.”

Championship organisers, World Freerun Ents, share a similarly upbeat view of Barclaycard’s involvement. ”World-class brands have been getting more and more into the freerun thing,” said Championship spokesman and Urban Freeflow supremo, Ez, ”but we always make sure that we are comfortable with any commercial tie-ups and that they make sense for the freerun lifestyle. The clincher for us here is that Barclaycard’s global ambitions for the sport match our own.”

Barclaycard’s role as main sponsor complements that of associate sponsors Sony Ericsson, The Carphone Warehouse and Adidas.

Dave Hilton, Head of Marketing at Sony Ericsson, UK & Ireland said “Everyone at Sony Ericsson and The Carphone Warehouse are really excited to be an associate sponsor of the Barclaycard World Freerun Championships. The event is a celebration of artistic freedom mixed with high-value entertainment - the same attributes as the new Sony Ericsson C702 and W760i handsets. As experts in mobile entertainment, we’re proud to support this unique event by developing compelling freerun content for our customers.”

Jascha Muller, responsible for Global Sports Marketing at Adidas said, “Adidas is proud to support and sponsor the Barclaycard World Freerun Championships. Freerunning is an inspirational activity and adidas is working closely with the athletes to create the adiScape range; bespoke footwear and clothing that perform to the specific needs of the sport.”

Vernons Pools, a leading UK online gaming company, has seen a tenfold increase in online slots players over the last six months, with the growth in players driving the jackpot of its ’Clover Rollover’ slot game past the £1.2 million mark - making it one of the biggest online slot machine jackpots in the world.

The jackpot has grown by £250,000 a month since April this year, even increasing at a rate of £10,000 a day on occasions, as online gamers clamour to line up five shamrocks to claim the top prize.

It’s not the only online slot game promising mammoth jackpots, as another Vernons‘ game, Cleopatra’s Chest has already passed the £250,000 mark, with total jackpots across seven games reaching £1.8 million and rising.

Recent research into online gaming trends reveals that currently 62 per cent of online slot machine players are female, with the game proving particularly popular with players aged between 35-50. As the number of overall online gamers and levels of spending continues to buck the economic trend, it has been slots that have seen the biggest jump in popularity, being simple to play and offering higher chances to win than many other popular games.

Martin Williams, e-gaming manager for Vernons.co.uk, said: “It seems that there’s no limit to the size of jackpots that can be won on online slots. Having our Clover Rolloverjackpot rise by up to £10,000 a day is simply staggering, and demonstrates the growth of the online slot machine phenomenon across the UK.”

About Vernons Pools:
Sportech Plc, owners of The New Football Pools, operates one of the UK’s oldest established football gaming companies, providing football pools, sports betting, lotteries and competitions to over 700,000 regular players.

Sportech Plc recently strengthened its position within the Football Pools industry by purchasing Vernons Pools. Together with Littlewoods Football Pools and Zetters Pools, Sportech Plc, based in Liverpool now operates 99% of the UK football pools market.

The revitalised business will place new games, technology, channels of distribution and ways to play high on the agenda, to continue providing a portfolio of football predictor games. Capitalising on the strength of its distinguished position of trust and integrity, The New Football Pools is set to grow within the UK and worldwide sports gaming market.

32Red Online Casino has announced details of their sponsorship of the Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse on 3 October.

The six-furlong Group One for two-year-old fillies is sure to be one of the features of the 2008 autumn season at Newmarket and is titled the 32Red.com Cheveley Park Stakes. It is a race with a tremendous history - not least in recent years - and with this year’s renewal prize fund of £170,000 it should encourage a number of the sport’s best two-year-old fillies to the race.

The race is part of the autumn season of races at the historic Newmarket course, with nine race days in total making up this year’s season. The Cheveley Park Stakes was first run more than a century ago in 1899 and is the fillies’ equivalent of the Middle Park Stakes. The winner is usually prominent in the ante-post betting for the following season’s 1,000 Guineas and a host of top class horses have emerged victorious and defined careers in recent years.

Last season saw subsequent 1000 Guineas winner Natagora lead home Fleeting Spirit in a particularly strong running of the contest, while this time around, Flying Childers winner Madame Trop Vite, Queen Mary Stakes scorer Langs Lash and Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Cherry Hinton Stakes winner Please Sing are in line to present a stiff domestic challenge.

Ed Ware of 32Red said: “The 32Red.com Cheveley Park Stakes is our first Group One-sponsored race and we are very proud to be associated with a race of this quality.”

“We believe our partnership with Newmarket serves to strengthen the 32Red brand and increases our profile with a significant target audience. We look forward to a competitive and informative 32Red.com Cheveley Park Stakes.”

32Red Bingo is the online bingo product from the award-winning gaming firm 32Red Plc. Launched in March 2008, 32Red recently reported a surge in bingo player numbers, citing both player rewards and personalised service as the driving force behind the growth. The company is now reporting a series of large jackpot winners at its virtual bingo rooms, which it is hoped will sustain and propel the online bingo business even further.

In the space of just three days the online bingo rooms of 32Red Bingo saw three of its Progressive JackPot’s (PJP’s) won and paid out to three lucky players. This unprecedented spate of PJP jackpots wins were welcomed by 32Red.

Bingo manager Jaydeep Chakravartty commented on the recent players’ winning streak, ”The fact the same jackpot fell twice in three days shows that big winners can be made at any time; the fact that we had three in quick succession also shows that 32Red Bingo rewards it players often and generously.”

32Red Plc have used the experience of creating and running an awarding winning online casino in the development of 32Red Bingo, developing the same level of player care, promotions and security.

Chakravartty commented, “We value all our players, reward loyalty and keep entertainment levels high with regular and varied bingo promotions. That’s why our bingo roomies receive £10 on joining, a 100% welcome bonus and a 25% match on all further deposits”

Following a successful television advertising campaign, 32Red Bingo is confident of a continued increase in player sign-ups and more frequent and even larger PJP wins. Chakravartty said, ”As the bingo product grows so do our jackpots, with the two already building rapidly since being won”.

32Red Bingo operates the popular 90 ball bingo favoured in UK bingo halls, as well as featuring live chat, chat games, 24/7 moderator and technical support and a full range ofcasino games too.

Lottery.co.uk, an independent web site dedicated to the UK National Lottery, is bracing itself for a guaranteed EuroMillions Superdraw jackpot worth a staggering 130 million Euros (around £104 million).

EuroMillions jackpots are always huge, but every now and again the lottery organisers stage a Superdraw with a supersized jackpot that must be won. Whereas jackpots in a regular lottery can be rolled over if nobody wins, these special draws don’t allow rollovers. Instead, if nobody wins the top prize then the a Euromillion Rolldown occurs where the jackpot is rolled down and divided between players who match five main numbers and just one of the two Lucky Star numbers. If there are still no winners, the prize rolls down to the next highest level, and so on, ensuring the jackpot fund in a Superdraw game is guaranteed to be paid out.

Lottery.co.uk has revealed that the 130 million Euro guaranteed jackpot EuroMillions Superdraw will be held on 26 September, 2008. This follows a similar draw in September 2007, when a jackpot of 130 million Euros ended up being rolled down to players matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, giving 14 winners £6.9 million each. In February 2008, a similar 130 million Euro Superdraw was held to celebrate the fourth birthday of EuroMillions. Again, nobody won that jackpot, so it was rolled down to those matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, giving 16 players around £6.4 million each.

Lottery.co.uk contains information on Lottery results, number checker, National Lottery articles which give players advice on how to play EuroMillions and other lottery games. There are even sections of the site which provides tips for lottery syndicates, as well as facilities to buy Lottery tickets and instructions on how to play Euro Lotto.

For the lucky winner of the 130 million Euros, the biggest challenge will be figuring out how to spend it. Even giving away 10% to family and friends, another 10% to charity and investing 50% for the future, would still leave 39 million Euros to spend on a new home, new cars, a wardrobe full of designer clothes, luxurious jewellery and anything else that takes their fancy.

Lottery players throughout Europe will be keen to participate in the coming 130 millionEuro Superdraw, and Lottery.co.uk is keen to wish everyone who takes part the very best of luck.

The New Football Pools is to be launched for the 2008/2009 football season with an exciting new range of online interactive games and a new star-studded panel of newly-appointed Pools Pundits forecasting results and performances, it was announced today.

Former Liverpool football stars Alan Hansen, John Barnes and ex-Chelsea player Tony Cascarino team up with referee Graham Poll to form the new Pools Pundits. Together they will be helping The New Football Pools gain unique insight into the game, giving predictions and opinion on every big weekly game. For today’s launch they are also joined by former Newcastle United and Tottenham star Les Ferdinand to offer players regular expert advice and match predictions.

Their comments about controversial and headline-making issues surrounding the game as well as their views on the players to watch, the big transfer deals and the teams they reckon will pick up silverware, will be published on the website weekly (www.footballpools.com)

Announcing the launch today, the Chief Executive of Sportech PLC, Ian Penrose also revealed that a Football Pools Trust had been set up to channel investment into football-related good causes. The public can apply for grants for good causes which will be considered by the new Pools Pundits who will then present cheques to the beneficiaries.

“At the height of the success of the traditional football pools over one third of the population played every week. Football is now one of the biggest talking points in our day to day to lives and the New Football Pools offers everyone a chance to join in, give their views and play the games in a very interactive way and there is no reason why we cannot attract millions of players,” said Ian Penrose.

Alan Hansen said: “The pools was a big part of my family upbringing and has always been at the heart of the football community. It’s like transferring the talk in the pubs and clubs to an exciting game online where anyone can bring their knowledge and skill to their predictions and walk away with a nice cheque and even help make a difference in their local community facilities.

The New Football Pools will also offer new games, Premier 10, made up of ten Barclays Premier League games of the weekend and Footy 15 which includes fifteen of the top weekend fixtures from across the Premier League, Championship, SPL and Europe. Playing is as simple as ever, selecting HOME, DRAW or AWAY for as little as £1 a time.

Getting started early on the punditry, retired referee Graham Poll predicted honours for Chelsea this season. “Scolari is a winner and vastly experienced at the very top level. Given the incredibly talented squad he has inherited he should be successful. It is interesting that some players who were reported to want to leave Chelsea have decided to stay – testament to Scolari’s approach. I think Chelsea will win a trophy this season.

Hansen, Barnes, Cascarino and Poll will be regular members of the Pools Pundits team offering weekly tips and views and they will be joined by ‘guest substitutes’ at key moments of the season or before crucial fixtures.

The games can also be played on many of the Paypoint terminals across a network of 17,000 retailers, through a minimum of 1,750 Ladbrokes outlets, online via 888.com, with yet more ways of playing to be announced soon.

As well as the new interactive prediction games, old favourites like Spot the Ball will be available as well as the Classic Pools where 8 score draws are picked from 49 fixtures and new Private Leagues syndicates can compete in their own private prediction league, pitting their skills and knowledge against each other.

The original and famous Pools Panel consisting of ex football heroes, England goalkeeper Gordon Banks, former striker Roger Hunt and ex Scotland star Tony Green will continue to meet at the Liverpool headquarters of The New Football Pools every Saturday to make their predictions in the event of match postponements.

Gordon Banks, a member of England’s World Cup winning team in 1966, commented: “The pools is part of our football heritage and it’s been part of our lives for years. We have a lot of fun meeting every week discussing the possible results and there is often some heated discussion. Like everything else the Pools has to move with the times and the new games on the internet offer even more excitement to the new generation of football fans.”

The launch also sees The New Football Pools steps up its support and development of sport and good causes in the UK through grants awarded by its Football Pools Trust. Over its 85 year history the pools has contributed over £1.1 billion to football, other sports, the arts and good causes.

Sportech plc Chief Executive Ian Penrose added: “The pools has played a key part in improving sporting facilities during its 85 year history and over 60 million people have been given winning cheques. With the new online games, there is an opportunity to play exciting games and win money by making accurate predictions but also know that you are contributing to good causes –it’s a win, win for everyone.”

Among the first clubs to benefit from the pool’s funding to make grounds safer for fans were Liverpool and Glasgow Rangers, who were each then able to convert terraced areas of their stadia to seats. Stadia such as Millwall’s New Den, Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium and Huddersfield Town’s McAlpine stadium were also supported with Trust Grants.

The Pools has also established strong links with football through a three-year partnership to become one of a select number of official licensees of The Premier League and Football Leagues and official partners of The Scottish Premier League and Scottish Football Leagues. The Football Pools Investment Fund has also been set up to channel significant investment into Football related good causes.

The Jones course at Sea Trail Golf Resort & Convention Center, located in Sunset Beach, N.C., was named one of the top 100 courses along the North Carolina coast by the North Carolina Golf Panel. The Panel’s rankings were reported in the April issue of Business North Carolina magazine in a special section spotlighting the state’s 100 best courses.

Sea Trail’s Jones Course is ranked number 64 among the state’s Top 100, making it a part of a prestigious list that includes Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club, the site of the 2006 U.S. Women’s Open and the renowned Pinehurst No. 2.

He has remodeled seven U.S. Open venues, five PGA courses, three Ryder Cup sites, and one Walker Cup course. Jones, who is the son of the “father of modern golf course architecture,” Robert Trent Jones, skillfully applied his knowledge and experience in the design of his course at Sea Trail.

The Business North Carolina rankings are based on survey results from the North Carolina Golf Panel. Panel members can only vote on courses they have played.
