MIDDLESEX, England, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ — Royal Vegas (), one of the oldest and most well-respected online brands from the Fortune Lounge Group (), is getting a make-over. The site and casino software will undergo a visual transformation, yet still maintain, and possibly exceed, the long-standing impressions of excellence that players have come to know and trust.
Royal Vegas has been providing an outstanding online gambling experience since 2000, and has undergone several face-lifts in that time. Each new version further entrenches the Royal Vegas brand as a world-leading online casino. The casino, which has been providing players with thousands of promotions, record wins and outstanding gambling experiences across its lifetime, will launch a new look and feel for its website on August 27, 2008. The brand will maintain and uphold the excellent standards that have been a trademark of Royal Vegas Online Casino since its inception.
The re-branding will preserve the most striking elements of Royal Vegas while propelling the style from regular and well-used into a more streamlined appearance. The transformation sees the layouts of the existing site advanced into a vibrant new look and feel that reflects a sense of royalty, while still bringing Vegas home to the privacy of the player’s personal computer.
Redesigning the site has also been done with the eye on improving multi- language support and user-friendliness across all levels: whether players are newcomers to online gambling or old hands ready for new deals. Added to this, Royal Vegas will celebrate the next level of its evolution with new offers and promotions, coming in the beginning of September.
For all who have come to love Royal Vegas, there is no need to be concerned about the change. The newly reborn site will be as usable and welcoming as ever, and guarantees an innovative shift forward for the brand.

BELL GARDENS, Calif., Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ — More than three weeks of Legends of poker events at the Bicycle Casino have led to the tournament everyone waits for — the World poker Tour $10,000 Legends of poker No-Limit Hold’em main event. It begins on Saturday, August 23, and there is no shortage of players prepared to claim the title of 2008 Legend of Poker.
The Legends of poker 21 preliminary events drew players from all over the world for the famous tournament series that included everything from hold’em to Omaha events. Over 5,500 players took part, and the top finishers took home portions of the cumulative $3,082,647 prize pools. Two poker legends have made their mark on this year’s series thus far, as Barbara Enright took down the LIPS ladies tournament and Men “The Master” Nguyen won two of the prelim events.
On Thursday, August 21, the Bicycle Casino was host to two special annual events. The first was the Legend of Legends & Media Invitational, a freeroll tournament that gives the media an opportunity to play alongside some of the legends of the game. Out of 81 entrants, Chris Dolan of NBC took down the top media prize of $2,500 cash and $2,500 to be donated to the charity of Dolan’s choice, the Lakers Youth Foundation. And the top finishing legend was long-time pro Randy Holland, who scored a buy-in to the Legends of poker main event worth $10,000.
The second of the two events was one that the Bicycle Casino is proud to host each year, the Mariani/Buss No-Limit Hold’em tournament to benefit the Lakers Youth Foundation. Pro poker players descended upon the event for a cocktail reception and the 7pm $1,000 entry tournament. There were 116 players and a total of 41 rebuys to create a prize pool of $136,590, and $100 from each buy-in and rebuy went directly to the Lakers Youth Foundation, in addition to other donations that were made throughout the evening. In the end, Behzad Teranie from Anaheim claimed first place in the tournament, and the evening was a success for the Lakers Youth Foundation.
All of the August festivities have led to the big one as the World poker Tour comes to the Bicycle Casino for the $10,000 Legends of poker main event. It gets underway on Saturday, August 23 at 2pm, and a second Day 1 will take place the following day to accommodate all players. Last year, a total of 485 players competed to create $4,607,500 prize pool, and in the end, seasoned poker pro and acclaimed author Dan Harrington claimed victory and over $1.6 million. This year promises another exciting tournament that will play down to the Thursday, August 28 final table, which is open to the public. Those who want to witness a part of poker history and be there for the WPT filming to be shown at a later date on Fox Sports (FSN), seating is free and begins at 4pm.
All players are welcome at the Bicycle Casino throughout the events, as hundreds of tables are available for poker, blackjack, and various other games at a wide range of dollar limits. As so many players from around the world know, there is no other place in L.A. like the Bike!
The Bicycle Casino is located at 7301 Eastern Avenue, Bell Gardens, CA 90201, just off the 710 freeway and only minutes from the LAX and downtown Los Angeles areas.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today approved the request to restructure the financing and ownership interests of the partially-constructed casino project in the city of Pittsburgh, a decision that can lead to the completion of the project substantially as approved by the Board in 2006. Completion of the project is expected in August, 2009.
The approval for reorganization, change of control and recapitalization of the Pittsburgh casino project was sought by Don Barden and PITG Gaming, LLC, which was awarded a Category 2 slot machine operators license in December of 2006, and Holdings Acquisition Co., L.P., a newly formed company which will now hold the license.
The Board also imposed a $2.5 million fee in connection with the restructuring transaction which brings additional owners into the project along with Barden. In doing so, the Board rejected a request to reduce the fee from the amount typically imposed.
The decision was made on a 7-0 vote after a nearly four-hour hearing in Harrisburg in which the Board received testimony and thoroughly questioned principles of the new ownership team, citizens, and Gaming Control Board staff who were involved in the review of the various elements of the deal.
Among those persons who testified were Mr. Barden; Neil Bluhm, Greg Carlin, and Robert Bloom of Walton Street Capital, LLC whose firm is a key investor in Holdings Acquisition; Dan Keating, CEO of the Keating Group, the construction contractor for the facility; Rich Stanizzo and John O’Brien representing Pittsburgh area unions; Dean Mosites representing 50 subcontractors who were forced to cease work at the Pittsburgh project until the new ownership structure and financing were approved by the Board; Adrian Anderson representing the Detroit Pension Funds that are investing in the project; various members of the public, and PGCB staff who were involved in the background investigation.
During the testimony, both Mr. Bluhm and Mr. Keating stated that construction of the nearly $800 million casino would commence as early as Monday, August 18, 2008 if the Board approved their request. The resumption of construction is expected to put about 800 workers back on the job.
Gaming Control Board Chairman Mary DiGiacomo Colins, along with fellow Board members, commented that today’s decision came only after the PGCB conducted significant due diligence on information received during the past two months, the open public questioning of both PGCB staff and the key players in the reorganization deal, and review and joint deliberation over the testimony and evidence.
“The decisions of the Board are always made in a measured fashion weighing evidence with the intent and objectives of the Gaming Act,” Chairman Colins stated. “In addition to the obvious economic benefits of assuring that this project is completed, this vote punctuates the integrity of both our process and of our role of overseeing legalized gaming in the Commonwealth.”
The Board will be releasing an adjudication that will detail the reasons for the decision.
Acting Executive Director of the Gaming Control Board Frank T. Donaghue said the decision should be welcome news to both the Commonwealth and Pittsburgh-area citizens.
“The completion and operation of the Pittsburgh casino is a critical element of the promises made by the Legislature when it enacted the Gaming Act,” Donaghue says. “While balancing our overarching objective to protect the public through regulation and policing of legalized slots gaming, our purpose is also to properly and legally oversee this new industry and provide a significant source of new revenue and jobs.”
The approved deal preserves the original commitments mandated by the Board of PITG Gaming and principle owner Don Barden. These include:
– A cash contribution of at least $7.5 million annually for a period of 30 years in support of the development and construction of a multi-purpose arena in Pittsburgh;
– A $1 million annual grant for 3 consecutive years to Pittsburgh’s Northside Leadership Conference;
– A $1 million annual grant for 3 consecutive years toward the development of Pittsburgh’s Hill Section;
– Construction of the Phase One portion of the facility, as presented to the Board at PITG’s 2006 hearings, includes an outdoor amphitheatre and riverside walkway. The only approved exceptions to this plan were postponing the opening of the facility’s ballroom until a later phase and a slight reduction in the number of spaces in the parking garage.
A PowerPoint presentation made today to the Board has been posted on the PGCB web site. A link to the presentation can be found under the “What’s New” section of the PGCB’s home page, .

Recognising their dilemma PlayPing set up the site and the community network was launched, what followed was an uptake not just of poker players but of a gaming community in general, which included casino players, sports bettors, bingo lovers and those interested in similar games through a platform of mutual interest and communication.
One other distinct advantage for those interested in joining is there is no charge for the service currently.
