The Boyd Gaming Corporation had been attempting to acquire some of the assets belonging to Station Casinos, but they have recently decided to cancel their efforts.

In 2009, Station Casinos filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Their filing had $5.7 billion in assets against their debt of $6.5 billion. Eighteen casinos lay under the Station banner, in both Las Vegas and Henderson, Nevada. Station Casinos did not include any online casinos.

Boyd Gaming Corporation is the owner and operator of 16 different casinos, ranging from Las Vegas to New Jersey. Their operations include the Borgata in Atlantic City, the Main Street Station in Nevada, and and many others.

“Over the last eighteen months, we have devoted significant resources in our attempt to acquire the Opco assets of Station Casinos,” began Keith Smith, President and CEO of Boyd Gaming. “Unfortunately, given bidding procedures that favor Station insiders, and our current view of the limited potential value of the operating and development assets, we have concluded this opportunity no longer makes sense for our company.”

Amongst the provisions noted by Boyd Gaming, the provisions that made it difficult for bidding to compete with the aforementioned insiders included several detrimental drawbacks. Outside buyers, for instance, would have to acquire the currently leased land that does not apply to Station Insiders.

The range of stipulations that Boyd would have had to contend with in order to add these assets as their own had effectively limited the ability to compete with Station Insiders on a level playing field.

Boyd Gaming Corporation could, on the other hand, wait until the regulation of online gambling and instead expand their assets to provide one of the best USA online casinos.

The online casino at Bodog.com has premiered its latest five-reel and 25-payline video slot title, Witches And Wizards, which offers players the chance to take home big rewards from up to ten free spins.

The Kahnawake-licensed online casino revealed that each of the new title’s free spins will cast a spell over the reels to change the game and can be re-triggered at any time through the Magical Experiment bonus to add up to ten more chances.

Bodog.com stated that one of the spells in Witches And Wizards changes one or more of its regular symbols into a wild that could give a player that had grabbed five kings a complete reel of wild symbols for a huge payoff.

There is also an ‘enlargement spell’ that sees one wild symbol grow to fill the entire gaming screen to double all wins. Players that get just one wild symbol when this spell has been cast will see their prize multiplied by three while any payout will be quadrupled if a wild symbol is grabbed to complete a winning combination.

In addition, there is a spell that adds wild symbols randomly to any spot on the screen while another multiplies all wins randomly by two to ten credits.
 

Welcome bonuses are commonly found at online casinos as a way of thanking new customers for joining and encouraging them to try out the casino. Titan Casino is no different in that regard. The online casino offers a 100% match bonus on your first deposit, with a maximum bonus limit of €200. What separates Titan Casino from some of their competitors, though, is that the casino bonuses don’t stop once you are no longer a new member.

For six months following the initial sign-up, players receive casino bonuses from Titan Casino. On your first deposit of each month, the online casino will match you 100%, with a maximum bonus amount of €200. That gives you a bonus of up to €1,200 free in addition to the €200 you can receive for signing up.

Titan Casino also has weekly deposit bonuses. On your first deposit during the week, the casino will match you 100%, with a maximum bonus of €200. This casino bonus is good for the first 26 weeks after you sign up for a real-money account at the casino.

The weekly casino bonus and monthly casino bonus cannot be combined, so you should do the math, determine how often you are likely to play, and decide which you would rather have. Each of the bonuses has a play-through requirement. They must be wagered at least 20 times before being withdrawn. See the promotions page at Titan Casino for more information.

Titan Casino uses Playtech software and is regulated by the Directorate of Offshore Gaming of Antigua and Barbuda.

Superior Casino has re-released special weekend bonuses for existing players. While new players tend to benefit more from the special bonuses, existing players have once again received their special bonuses.

A 125% Super Match will be awarded to all existing players. This bonus is good for up to $1,250 dollars, which can be spread across many of the amazing slot games found through Superior Casino, one of the Rival USA casinos.

Upon the completion of this bonus, a free $12 chip will be awarded to players who redeem this promotion, whether a winner or a loser.

A series of unlimited promotions has also been announced. Players can redeem one of two bonuses, depending on the amount deposited. Those who deposit under $50 dollars can redeem a 40% match bonus an unlimited number of times. Those who deposit more than $50 can redeem an unlimited number of bonuses at a 55% match rate, up to a limit of $550.

As always, eWalletXpress bonuses are still available through Superior Casino.

Many games through Superior Casino are still offering massive payouts. Penguin Payday, a specialty game based on scratch cards, is offering pay outs of 131.98% of the money drawn in by the game. Atomic age is paying 129.19%, while strike gold is paying 113.69%.

A new game is set to be released through Superior Casino over the next few weeks. The slot game All Aboard, a 20 line, 5 reel video slot, is set to be released with a train based theme.

As one of the best online casinos, Superior Casino is always delivering new advantages to their players.

There are a lot of great ways to enjoy the weekend. It can be reading a book, going to the beach, hitting the clubs, mosh-pitting at a concert, taking in a game, watching a movie, playing in online casino tournaments and more. What you want to do with your weekend depends on your taste. There’s really no way Casino Tropez can help you if you’re in the mood for the beach or a baseball game this weekend. They can, however, help with the casino tournaments.

This weekend, Casino Tropez is holding two Elite Challenge tournaments. Those tournaments began yesterday, July 15, and run until July 18. One tournament is an online roulette tournament. In that tournament, you can wager on any online roulette game offered at the casino. In addition to any winnings that you may get from the games themselves, the top 38 wagerers during that time will share a $4,000 prize pool. The top player will win $1,000, with the prizes going down in value from there.

The other Elite Challenge tournament is for slots players. That tournament works the same as the one for roulette. Players can wager on any online slot in the casino and the top wagerers will win prizes from a pool of $4,000. In addition, if you win any money at the slots, you get to keep that money as you normally would.

While you’re playing in the Elite Challenge tournaments, you might want to take advantage of the current deposit bonus promotion. Right now, Casino Tropez is offering a 30% match bonus on all deposits. That bonus promotion runs all weekend, from July 15-18.
