Betfair Casino are once again ahead on the innovation stakes by offering an excellent alternative to your favourite classic casino game, with a live dealer twist. Real Deal is a collection of six games exclusive to Betfair that will revolutionise the industry. The Betfair Casino Real Deal experience offers the realism of a live dealer casino by having virtual croupier Candy deal, as well as having an authentic casino environment and quick and smooth game play.

Across all six exciting games staking options run from £1 to table limits of £2,000, meaning Candy’s charming company is open to all bankrolls.

On loading Real Deal games players are instantly greeted by Candy saying "welcome to the table". A quick glance around the background shows a brilliantly realistic casino environment with slot machines showing real Betfair games and their up-to-the-minute progressive jackpots. This allows players to keep a watching eye on the big money jackpots whilst playing their favourite classic casino games.

Players can enjoy such great games as Euro Roulette. The traditional Euro Roulette wheel features red and black numbers from 1-36 and a single 0, unlike the American wheel which also contains a double zero, and the Betfair Zero Lounge wheel featuring none.

As with other versions of roulette, Real Deal includes the classic array of betting options from the big-winning single number bet at 36:1, to the even money staples red/black and odd/even, and many other choices in between.

One of the most enduringly popular casino games, probably due to its classic simplicity, on Real Deal is Baccarat. With the option to bet on the outcome of two hands dealt by the ever-smiling Candy, both the staking choices and potential outcomes can be quickly and easily picked-up by even the absolute casino novice. A player win offers even money odds, whilst the banker can be backed at 1.95 and a tie is 8:1. Two cards are dealt to both player and banker with 10s and picture cards counting zero and all other cards at face value. The object of the game is to get as close to nine as possible. When the player or banker score is less than five a third card is dealt.

Once you’ve placed your first stake on any of the Real Deal games, play is kept smooth and fluid. You can rebet the same and spin again, rebet but at double stake and spin, or simply rebet without spinning, so you have the opportunity to review your staking options before spinning the wheel.

The Real Deal experience is set to revolutionise the online gaming world and, thanks to their exclusive agreement, the only place you can get in on the action right now is at Betfair Casino.

FOOTBALL nut Mike McNally won £650,000 for a £10 stake on World Cup games

Canny Mike, 29, laid five £2 bets with an online bookie, which entitled him to enter a contest to predict the winner of EVERY match.

He got 36 right – more than any other punter in the world – to scoop the million dollar (£650,000) prize.

Titan Bet threw its global prediction contest open to every punter who wagered at least a tenner on the World Cup.

England nearly cost Mike, of Bradford, West Yorks, the prize after he backed them to beat Germany in South Africa.

But by the time of the final, he and one other person were level after calling 35 of the 63 matches. And business graduate Mike correctly had Spain down to win. while his rival had gone for Holland.

He said: "I was speechless when I learned I’d won. I just wish England could have performed as well as 1 did."

Just in time for summer fun, Euro Partners is pleased to announce the release of 15 new casino gaming titles. These games are now available in all Euro Partners casinos including Europa Casino, Casino Tropez, and Titan Casino. Included amongst these new releases are numerous online casino slots, arcade and roulette games.

Some of the standout titles are linked to popular movies such as the Pink Panther and Rocky. In the Pink Panther game, players encounter the infamous cool cat as they spin their way to jackpots. The Rocky game, on the other hand, features the full cast of familiar characters including Ivan, Tony "Duke" Ever, and of course, Rocky Balboa himself. Players who manage to spell out R-O-C-K-Y across the reels win 5X their total bet.

Other exciting new slot machine games include the adorable Penguin Vacation and the compelling Punisher: War Zone. Penguin Vacation is a particularly appropriate summer title as the icy habitat of the tuxedoed birds whisks players away to cooler (virtual grounds). For players looking for something a little less cute, a lot more action packed, Punisher: War Zone, a lean mean killing slot machine, is the perfect choice.

In terms of other casino game types, the newly released Premium Roulette games (such as Premium Roulette Pro and Premium American Roulette) come highly recommended, especially the multiplayer versions of the casino classic.

"Summer is a great time to introduce new games to players," commented Euro Partners Marketing VP Marc Kenigsberg. "In general people are in the mood to try fun and exciting new things, and with these great new casino game titles, our players are sure to be thoroughly entertained."

Titan Casino, Europa Casino, and Casino Tropez slot machines and other new casino games can be accessed by downloading the free casino software directly from any of the aforementioned sites.
