Chinese Kitchen is one of the most unusual slot games to come from the labs at Playtech. This nine reel, eight payline game comes with a bizarre cartoon food theme and interesting gameplay that makes it top on my list of slots everybody should play at least once!
The theme is, obviously a Chinese Kitchen. The graphics are bold, colorful, and cartoony. In the background, a pair of chefs watch over steaming pots, but on the reels, the food is anything but appetizing. Blue crabs threaten diners with chopping knives, snails stick their tongues out in disgust, and lobsters give disapproving looks from yellow platters. The food all seems to be still alive, giving the slot a wonderfully creepy feel.
As for gameplay, the unusual square layout of the reels helps keep things interesting. Paylines cross the reels vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. When spun, all the symbols turn to black-and-white, and each square pops into place one at a time. All payouts require three-of-a-kind, except for the Crab symbol, which pays out whenever it shows up on the reels.
Chinese Kitchen can be played here for free, or can be enjoyed for real money at Bet365 Casino. There are more than 80 no-download games to choose from at Bet365, and all work great on netbook computers. One bit of advice though – use your web browser’s fill screen mode. Join Bet365 Casino today and grab their €100 welcome bonus, then start spinning the reels of Chinese Kitchen for a unique treat!

Rival Gaming may not have the biggest collection of slot games on the Internet, but nearly every game this company releases is a good-looking, high-quality play. Atomic Age is a perfect example of the Rival suite, a slick nostalgic trip back to the 1950s – but in perfectly playable fashion on a 21st-century Netbook!
After entering the super-quick no-download casino version of Superior Casino, download the five reel 15 payline Atomic Age. Its retro symbols and blue and blacks in the blackground look just as super on the small Netbook screen as all of Rival’s games do.
Atomic Age of course has the usual scatters and wilds, but includes two nice bonus rounds in which you can win thousands of coins: the “Drive-In Bonus Round” and the “Cash Register Bonus Round,” both unique pick ‘em games based on 50s life. All in all, this is a slot game that’s a lot of fun on the Netbook.
At Superior Casino, new members are rewarded with a fantastic $20 no-deposit bonus to try their nice range of 100 or so online casino games. After this, the first deposit bonus earns players 100% up to a big $1,000 – that’s a lot of extra playing money to give Atomic Age some spins at Superior Casino!

Not everybody is a high roller. It takes serious funds to be able to bet max on every game, or to request higher table limits from online casino management. Players who do have extra cash to spend playing online casino games, however, are usually not treated with special bonuses until they have been with an online casino for many months.
At Cherry Red Casino, things work a little differently. Their High Roller Bonus is offered to anyone who wants it. It is a double-deposit welcome bonus, acting over the first two deposits that new players make at the casino, giving them a chance to gain up to $3000 in instant bonus cash.
First Deposit
Deposit $1000 and receive $1500
Second Deposit
Deposit $1000 and receive $1500
These bonuses do have one limitation – they are only good with certain banking methods. The bonuses will be offered to any player who makes their deposit using Credit Card, UseMyWallet, or eWalletXpress. The playthrough requirement is just 20x, but some games like blackjack and video poker count just one third towards playthrough. Despite these limitations, this is a very strong pair of welcome bonuses, and all netbook casino players should claim them if they can afford to!
Cherry Red Casino runs on RealTime Gaming software and offers just over 50 no-download games for members to enjoy. The games are well-designed, and work great on netbook computers, though it is best if players set their web browser to full-screen mode to make the most of things. Sign up with Cherry Red Casino today and grab either this High Roller Bonus or the standard bonus welcome package of 10 deposit bonuses worth up to $777 each. Either one is a winning deal!

Tower Casino gives away points when its member place wagers – it’s all part of the casino’s loyalty program. Points are earned at different rates depending on what game you’re playing. Some games like slots earn points at 20%, which means for every $1 wagered, players get .2 points. Other games are not so valuable, like blackjack which earns at just 1%.
Points add up faster than you might imagine. Remember, earnings are based on how much is actually wagered, so even a small $20 deposit can turn into hundreds if spent wisely.
Once every month, all the comp points a player has accumulated are turned into casino cash. The exchange rate is 10 points for $1. At the end of the day this system doesn’t end up giving the average user much bonus cash, but it’s all automatic and easy to use, so it’s better than nothing!
Another regular bonus to look out for is the Monthly Bonuses, which give members a chance to get 25% up to $25 on their first deposit every month.
Tower Casino runs on Net Entertainment software, and it’s 100% no-download casino, so netbook users get full access to everything that the site has to offer. Sign up today and enjoy a $100 welcome bonus, then start earning points as you explore the dozens of instant play online casino games this site has to offer

It’s strange to see the words ‘gaming’ and ‘netbook’ together like that. Traditionally, netbooks are tools more than toys, and their computing power is far too average to please hardcore computer gamers. But Alienware is a big name in gaming computer technology, so we’ll take their word for it. They call the M11x the “world’s most powerful 11-inch gaming laptop”, and judging by the specs, they’re probably right. The question is – is it worth the $1,099 price tag?
M11x gaming netbook: Essential specs
• Intel Core i7 processor
• Nvidia GeForce GT 335M graphics card with 1GB memory
• Intel HD Graphics Media Accelerator
• 2GB of DDR3 RAM
• 160GB hard drive
Clearly, the M11x is a beast of a machine. It weighs in quite heavy at 4.4 pound, but it is compact and packs a powerful punch. For proper computer gaming, the processor and graphics card are definitely up to speed, but the RAM is a bit low, and the hard drive is pathetically small. Consumers must also be aware that they are paying quite a lot extra for the Alienware brand.
For casual gamers, or for anyone who uses their netbook for online casino games, the Alienware M11x is overkill. It’s killing a fly with bazooka overkill. No download casino games don’t need much computing power to run, and users can find much, much cheaper netbooks that are more than powerful enough to get the job done.
My advice? Skip the M11x and go for an ASUS Eee PC, or check out our netbook reviews for more options.

Every weekday during the month of July, Casino Euro is offering a new tournament for players to join. These are evening events, always starting at 18:00 CET. This is convenient for players in most parts of Europe, since it’s a time when everyone is home from work and ready to kick back for a little online gambling.
The tournament schedule follows a general pattern, with each day of the week corresponding to a different set of games. All tournaments are free to enter, and come with a €100 prize pool to play towards. All prizes go to the players with the best payout percentage.
Here is a quick overview of what players can expect:
Monday: Monday Mix
Tuesday: New Games on the Block
Wednesday: Video Poker Night
Thursday: Slotsmania
Friday: Friday Mix
These are not very serious tournaments – they come with relatively small prizes and are definitely not high stakes events. Instead, they are meant to be fun and casual ways to explore new games and get into some healthy competition with other players.
Since Casino Euro runs on Net Entertainment software which is 100% no-download casino, netbook players won’t hit any snags while enjoying these online casino tournaments. No matter what the event’s featured games are, they are bound to work well on a netbook.
Dive into the action at Casino Euro today and claim a 50% match on your first deposit up to a max bonus of €111. Once inside, check out their game selection, then free up some time in the evenings to take part in these free online casino tournaments.

In view of the news that Wonder Woman has changed her costume in the comics with her landmark issue #600 while getting reborn streetwise and ignorant of her Amazon origin, you may be hankering for some of the classic version of the character. Naturally, we decided to play that favorite Cryptologic video slot game at InterCasino, Wonder Woman.
Just as the not-quite-as-buxom slimmed down new Wonder Woman is as great-looking, so too is the small-sized version of the Wonder Woman video slot for Netbook play – not necessarily an easy feat with 50 paylines over five reels, but one beautifully executed by Cryptologic and InterCasino.
In the slot game, the superheroine hasn’t forgotten her Amazonian past. In the “Wonder Wilds” free spins features, an animated Diana uses her magic lasso to morph ordinary squares into bonuses. And in the game’s exciting special feature bonus round, Wonder Woman takes on Ares, god of war and ancient arch-enemy of the Amazons. Make sure you’re playing the “Bonus Bet” when you’re making your spins to get the “Ares Showdown Feature” – well worth the investment, as scatter prizes get a huge bonus multiplier of 50x.
All in all, the Wonder Woman online slot hosted by InterCasino is one of the very best superhero-themed games to play on the Netbook. Who needs the comic book?
As one of the very first-ever online casinos, InterCasino is today a highly regarded gaming spot. Powered by Cryptologic software, InterCasino has 60 no-download casino games, including huge names and superhero games from Superman and Wonder Woman to X-Men, Spiderman and the other Marvel heroes. InterCasino offers a 100% match bonus on first deposit for up to $225, so get with the best now!
