The Gibraltar-based online casino operator, 32Red, has been declared Casino of the Decade by leading casino player watchdog and advocacy site, Casinomeister. Following six successive years as the Best Casino winner, the latest title rewards the firm’s consistent performance over the last 10 years.

During the last decade 32Red has featured regularly in award ceremonies and received prestigious nominations. As Casinomeister has highlighted in the past, and also in the company’s most recent award, 32Red has raised the bar for others to follow by pioneering a personal, transparent approach to player support and casino bonuses. In the official announcement, Bryan Bailey of Casinomeister said the following regarding 32Red’s achievements and new award:

"They (32Red) have maintained their focus since their launch: personable customer service, responsive and effective management, professional solid operations. Publicly traded, fully transparent, and they are bound by an ideology that is based on player satisfaction. These guys have a lot to be proud of…again"

32Red CEO, Ed Ware, was delighted by the award, commenting "the Casino of the Decade sits above all other awards in this year’s Casinomeister list and it’s one we receive with a great deal of pride. 32Red aimed to be here when we launched the online casino ( 32Red Casino ) and we’re honoured that, come the end of ‘naughties’, we’re right at the top of our industry".

Ware added that the company philosophy remains unchanged and that it will continue to drive the casino to new heights: "the numerous awards from Casinomeister in the past decade have shown that focussing on the player experience is valued where it matters most – the player’s themselves, which Casinomeister and the award represents. It is both justification of this philosophy and motivation to continue providing a service that really is second to none"

32Red Casino, the award-winning Gibraltar based online casino, today revealed details on how a lucky player won over GBP25,000 from a free bet on a slot machine shortly after joining.

The player, Brett Hill, was playing the Major Millions slot machine at 32Red when he hit the three jackpot symbols, triggering the GBP25,000 payout and changing Brett’s Christmas instantly. Brett commented, "We have given our children a bit of cash for Christmas and I have just returned from picking up my wife’s brand new car as a result of the win! I’m saving the rest for a holiday or just a rainy day, as well as having a GBP1000 each for Christmas."

Pat Harrison, Operations Director at 32Red, said, "Brett’s win is amazing; he turned the GBP32 free from 32Red for signing up into GBP25,000, and in his own words changed his Christmas and 2010! 32Red would like to congratulate Brett again and wish him all the best for the New Year."

Brett was naturally delighted, with him "dancing around the room like a lunatic". He couldn’t believe the win and asked his wife to double check before he got too carried away. When it was confirmed by his wife and 32Red Brett was equally delighted by his entire 32Red experience, adding "I sent the payments team my account details at 10.30am and noticed my account was in credit GBP25,000 just after dinner time – so quick! The aftercare I was given was second to none – the best of any online casino – most others make you wait a week before getting winnings!"

Major Millions is renowned for producing big winners at 32Red, with Anne C winning over GBP1 million in 2008 through the game’s bonus jackpot. Brett’s win was outside of that jackpot and was produced through the game’s regular pay table. That lead Harrison to add "Brett’s win demonstrates the strength of Major Millions and of our online slots in general, proving that the big wins are out there to be had".

Brett continues to play at 32Red and is particularly fond of Mega Moolah – the online industry’s most generous slot having paid out over GBP6 million earlier this year. Major Millions will no doubt remain his favourite, but with over 250 individual slot games available at 32Red, his options are very much open.

This big win follows another recent win from 32Red’s mobile casino, with a GBP20,000 payout the result of a Royal Flush from a GBP25 bet on video poker. Stephen McDonald, 32Red Mobile manager, said, "J.P from London enjoyed classic video poker and a spectacular win on the go using his phone and 32Red Mobile."

32Red Online Casino revealed today that a lucky Swansea City FC fan and 32Red player will be joining his favourite team for the season. Sporting the official number 32 shirt of the South Wales club, the fan will be able to get close up and personal with the squad throughout the 2009/10 season.

32Red Online Casino became Swansea City FC club sponsor in a two year deal in May. The partnership sees the 32Red.com logo displayed prominently on the Swan’s home and away shirts as well becoming the club’s official gaming partner, offering over 350 casino games in their online casino (32Red Casino), online poker (32Red Poker), bingo and more to Swansea fans.

Ross Mitchell, the 32Red winner and die-hard Swansea fan, had this to say on his competition win and on becoming part of the Swansea FC line-up this season.

"Most fans have dreamt of seeing their name in the matchday programme, and given my lack of footballing ability this is the only way I could have got to do it! The entire competition is a terrific idea and I hope others get a chance to experience what I have, thank you Swansea City, and thank you 32Red!"

Ross will be in the official team photograph for the 2009/10 season, will feature in the squad list in matchday programmes and be involved in a range of team activities, becoming an integral part of the Swansea FC team this season.

Swansea City FC vice-chairman, Leigh Dineen, said: "This is the first of a number of initiatives we will be working on with our new sponsor 32Red this season."

"They have given us fantastic support so far and I know that they want to involve the fans as much as possible."

"Ross attended our game against Sheffield United recently where he was given the full VIP treatment. Manager Paulo Sousa presented him with his No.32 shirt and had a good chat with Ross. With the amount of injuries we’ve got at the moment, he may have to wear the shirt on the pitch soon!"

Mark Quayle, Head of Marketing for 32Red Online Casino, remarked: "This is just the first of many competitions we plan to run with Swansea to celebrate our partnership with this proud and progressive club. Football is becoming increasingly commercial but both Swansea and 32Red know the priority lies with the fans. We both plan to ensure these next two years are as exciting and as special as possible for them."

Ross saw the competition on the official Swans website (www.swanseacity.net) and "…felt it was too good an opportunity to miss out on. I enjoy playing a bit of blackjack and so the chance to become the number 32 for the Swans was just too tempting, so I went through the official site and registered at 32Red’s online casino and got playing. But he was taken by surprise when he returned a call from the club to star as the team’s number 32.
