Cleopatra can help you win $2.7 million on your netbook

September 16th, 2010

MegaJackpots CleopatraCleopatra was the last person to rule ancient Egypt as a pharaoh. History says she was strikingly beautiful, and Cleopatra herself thought she was the reincarnation of an Egyptian Goddess. The woman was also unimaginably wealthy, and now she’s come to Virgin Casino to share some of her wealth with the rest of us!

MegaJackpots Cleopatra is an exotic 20 payline game with a progressive jackpot. The jackpot is the highest it’s been in recent memory, stretching past the $2.7 million mark and ready to pay out on any spin. The big jackpot pays out when 5 MegaJackpots symbols line up across the center payline on a max bet spin.

The game is available for play at Virgin Casino. A non-progressive version is also offered (called simply Cleopatra) and this version can be tried for free, but the MegaJackpots progressive version of the game can only be played with real money.

Like all no-download online casino games at Virgin Casino, Cleopatra MegaJackpots works great on a netbook. The games are powered by WagerWorks online casino software, which offers smart resize technology that helps the games to fit just right on any screen. A 100% welcome bonus awaits all new players at Virgin Casino. Head over there now and give MegaJackpots Cleopatra a few spins. Who knows, you be a millionaire by the end of the day!

Apple iPads and the future of netbook casinos

September 14th, 2010

Apple iPadA recent market report from UBS Investment Research has estimated that Apple will sell 28 million iPads in 2011. Maynard Um, the author of the report, believes that this boom in iPad sales will do great harm to the notebook PC industry, and that tablet PCs like the iPad are soon going to take over as the world’s most popular mobile computing devices.

Is there any truth in this claim? More importantly, if the iPad becomes king, what does it mean for future netbook gaming?

First of all, the iPad is a specialized device. It’s pretty, it’s shiny, and nice to play with, but when it comes down to just getting things done, it’s really not so useful. The lack of a keyboard alone cuts productivity quite a lot, making it a poor choice for people who want to use their mobile computer for both work and play.

As for iPad casinos, they are virtually non-existent. The iPad doesn’t run Flash, so most no-download online casino games don’t work on it. Instead, it can only run specially-designed casino games, like the ones found at All Slots Mobile Casino. Overall, the iPad’s casino gaming capabilities are extremely limited.

Netbook casinos, however, are very flexible, running on virtually any PC, laptop, and netbook computer in the world, including Mac and Linux devices. This means one thing: they are here to stay. Even if the popularity and availability of netbook PCs declines over the next few years, netbook casinos will stick around, and netbook users will still have access to their favorite no download slots and other instant play games.

$99 Sylvania Netbook is basically useless

September 8th, 2010

$99 Sylvania netbookPharmacy chain CVS started selling a $99 netbook on Sunday, and most stores sold out within hours. The device is manufactured by Sylvania, and while its price is definitely right, it’s really not worth buying.

Here is a run-down of what this machine has hiding under its admittedly sleek exterior:

• Via 8505 processor
• 128 MB of internal memory
• 2 GB of NAND flash
• 7 “ 800×480 display
• Weight: 2 pounds
• Windows CE 6.0

The components are mostly off-brand, and the specs are pretty bad, but what is really discouraging is the operating system. Windows CE was designed for use with mobile phones, not with netbook computers. It severely limits what this little guy can do.

The netbook comes with an app that can play YouTube videos, but according to reviews that are popping up, it doesn’t even do this very well. If it can’t handle a basic video, then the $99 Sylvania netbook doesn’t stand a chance at running online casino games.

If anything positive can be said about this device, it’s this: it has better specs than last year’s $119 Kmart netbook! Beyond that, it’s a machine to avoid. Anybody serious about picking up a netbook for playing at the top online casinos, it is worth spending a little extra to get a proper device.

It may not be quite as great as attending an OZZFest show, but it’s a heckuva lot more fun than sitting through the Osbournes: Reloaded – and potentially more profitable than both!

After you’ve run up some winnings with the free spins (or even if you haven’t), you can still claim a big 100% match bonus for up to $100 on your first deposit to enjoy hundreds of quality casino games on your Netbook.

Powered by Microgaming, Gaming Club casino has over 200 action-packed high-quality online casino games available in its flash version, including the slot game based on reality TV’s weirdest family, The Osbournes. Enjoy “The Thrill of It All” when you win today!
