Thunderstruck Slot The theme of the Thunderstruck Slot Machine is somewhat difficult to explain, although in the interests of consumer awareness, we will certainly try our best! The Thunderstruck Slot Machine is loosely based around a series of Nordic mythologies and legends concerning thunder, storms and lightning as a whole which were generally recognised by the Nordic people as being controlled by Thor. To be perfectly honest, whilst the actual theme behind the game may leave a lot to be desired, and is certainly half-baked, there can be no denying that under the clumsy premise, there is a very solid and addictive game.

With only hours to go before a legislative session deadline, the New Jersey Assembly approved legalized sports betting in the state. 

Early in the day, the Senate had approved the measure.

Last November, voters gave the approval for legalized sports betting in the state by a 64/35 margin.   Bets could be placed on professional sporting events at Atlantic City’s 11 casinos and 4 racetracks. 

“These votes, by both houses of the legislature and the voters of New Jersey, mark the beginning of the end of the inequitable federal ban on sports betting,” said state Sen. Raymo

Social media giant Facebook may soon change the face of the online poker industry. In 2011 they changed their advertising policies to allow online gambling companies to advertise in certain jurisdictions where online gaming is regulated. Rumor has it that they are now also seeking to cash in on the market in even more ways, potentially even through real money games offered through apps.

The likely target market for Facebook to offer real money games would be the United Kingdom. The UK already has many successful sportsbook/poker sites, such as Betfair, WilliamHill, Bet365 and Ladbrokes, in part thanks to lenient and unchanging laws regarding online betting.

Konami Gaming, Inc. has been one of the industry’s most remarkable success stories of the past few years. In 2008, Konami’s executive management team announced the company’s goal was to reach the “podium,” meaning the goal was to become one of the top three slot manufacturers in the industry.

Never mind that the industry was at the beginning of its worst revenue slump of modern times. Three years hence, Konami is very close to stepping on that podium.

The reason has been the K2V slot platform, and its new follow-up, KP3—not to mention the Konami Casino Management System, one of the fastest-growing casino management systems on the market. Surging sal
