If Hiawatha is good for a hug, what would Pocahontas give you? Native American puns aside, this new addition to the 32Red online casino portfolio takes the player on a trip back through time to the days when the only immigration problem in North American was white guys with guns.

Mystic Dreams is a stylish and elegant new American-style online slot, set against the backdrop of the vast, icy tundra and landscapes of the ancient Native American tribes.

Wolves, ancient ceremonials headdresses, and symbols from a long lost American era, evoke nostalgia for the days when the buffalos roamed and a man with a Mohican was not a punk rocker.

This online slot is a five reel game with 243 paylines. There are wild symbols in play which trigger multiplier awards during free spins. 10, 15, 0r 20 free spins can be triggered depending on the number of scatters in play.

All in all, the Mystic Dreams online slot is an atmospheric game that is fun to play. The game is live from Wednesday May 8. Don’t miss out on your chance to scalp a winner.

Ask any banker if crime pays and he will throw his head back in raucous laughter, wave his extraordinary bonus in your face, and tell you to get your pathetic broke ass of his land.

You can get revenge. It’s best served hot, with 243 paylines, five reels, scatters, wilds, bonuses, and jackpots galore. If you want to collect a little bit of that bonus paycheque action, it’s time to play BUST THE BANK online slot.

Bust The Bank Slot at 32Red Online Casino

The latest addition to the 32Red online casino portfolio is a fun-filled romp with master thieves Larry and Bob. They’ve got dynamite, empty sacks, and a vault groaning with gold. All you have to do is spin the reels and help them make a withdrawal.

Bust the Bank is a five reel, American-style, online slot. It features a whopping 243 paylines, as well as scatters, wilds, bonuses, and free spins.

Hong Kong? Macau? In the world of gambling in the lands of the rising sun, there’s a new player in town: say hello to the casino thriller based in Manila.

Here at the 32Red online casino, our business is Internet gambling. We offer our players online slots, blackjack, video poker, roulette, and – literally – hundreds of other games. All online. All great. All available 24/7.

However, in Asia, the real world casino is where the action is. Strict regulation and monitoring continue to make gaming in the online sector difficult. However, gambling centres like Macau and Hong Kong fuel the Asian desire to gamble.

Las Vegas has long played second fiddle to Macau and could fall further down the gaming capital pecking order, if the recent developments in the Philippines are not to be ignored.

Last month, the billion dollar Solaire Resort and Casino opened in Manila. The 500 room luxury hotel and casino features a world class 18,500 sq m casino. It’s the first integrated casino and resort in the Philippines and could set a precedent for the country’s tourism future.

Although, at 32Red, the action is all about online gaming. We may now be looking at some different holiday destinations if we want to take our work away with us. The Philippines < watch this space!

It seems it’s all about the technology this week. Appropriate. It was during this week – 50 years ago – that scientist Francis Crick famously walked into the Eagle pub in Cambridge and said: “we have found the secret of life.”

He wasn’t drunk. He wasn’t mad. In fact, along with James Watson, he had cracked the double helix code that forms human DNA. He had indeed found the secret of life.

This is also the week that Samuel Morse was born in 1791. He created a language that could be transmitted by a simple sequence of dots and dashes. Another incredible scientific breakthrough that enabled humans – separated by long distances – to communicate in real time.

Finally… tech lovers out there will no doubt be aware that this is during this week – ten years ago – that the iTunes online store opened and the true digital download revolution began.

All in all a remarkable week for the endeavours of science…

Which segways us beautifully into the rather remarkable news that the security of your online gambling account could be ripe for a renewal.

Here at the 32Red online casino, we already use the most secure, encrypted, technology to ensure the security of your account. However, if someone manages to steal your login and password, we can’t stop them logging in.

All this is set to change, if a new UK start-up company called Facebanx gets its way. Facebanx is developing face recognition technology that can determine who is using the account.

As well as providing another level of log in security, Facebanx can store user’s images to confirm accounts. It’s a layer of ebanking security that’s hard to cheat unless you have an evil twin!

Facebanx CEO, Matthew Silverstone, said: “Our product has been specifically designed for the online payments industry and provides a unique solution for processors to share data to combat multiple acts of fraud. We are currently in discussions with a number of processing companies, banks and merchants as well as the insurance industry about adding our software to their CRM.”

A 32Red online casino spokesman said: “We are committed to ensuring our customers enjoy both a rewarding and secure online gaming experience. Any new technology – including ebank face recognition – can only be a good thing.”

Ultimately, face recognition could be used by casinos to detect cheats and players who have self excluded. In these times – when online hacking and phishing still exist – an extra level of online security has to be a good thing. Keep smiling.

It was on April Fool’s Day this year we did a spoof story about new technology that would give players ‘electronic vibes’ via a headset every time they won a jackpot playing at the 32Red online casino.

A few weeks later and New York based technology pioneers Infinity Augmented Reality release a press release announcing that they are currently developing the ‘next generation’ way to experience online gambling.

The technology will give users an immersive experience that will make them feel as if they are actually at the casino. Croupiers, fellow players, will all appear to be playing alongside the user.

The illusion is created by using new augmented reality eyewear in combination with technology developed by Infinity Augmented Reality.

Avrohom Oratz, Infinity AR CEO, said: “Casinos have spent billions of dollars building fascinating structures to entice and lure gamblers and their families to their destination. The Venetian, Bellagio, and Wynn are among the most premier gambling destinations in the world offering the ultimate gambling experiences.

“Online casino’s lacking bricks and mortar need to have that wow factor and make it an enjoyable experience destination. The applications of yesterday won’t hack it. The economics of this industry have us very excited and we want to be a significant vendor to gamers and gaming companies” he said.

A spokesman for leading online casino 32Red said: “We are committed to offering our customers the very best possible online experience. We are constantly monitoring any new developments in online gaming technology.

“Creating the illusion of a fully functional, populated, fun casino sounds like a very exciting premise. You could even add in other entertainment and really give players the chance to get away from it all. It sounds like a lot of fun and we will watch the development of this technology with great interest,” he said.

Spare a thought today for one of sport’s greatest legends. It’s not Ali, Hunt, Pele, In fact, it’s not even a human being. Today, it’s exactly 36 years since Red Rum won the Grand National for the third time in 1977.

Red Rum is a four-legged legend. Born in 1965, the horse was bought by Aintree racecourse legend Ginger McCain for 6,000 guineas on May 3, 1965. Red Rum was taken to Stockport where – a day after arriving – the horse hobbled out of its stable lame.

Undeterred, Ginger McCain treated Red Rum’s by working him on Southport beach and in the sea. The cold waters of the Irish Sea worked the magic and the horse returned sound.

Red Rum went on to win his first five races for Ginger.  The 1973 Grand National victory is the stuff of legend as the eight year old horse won by three quarters of a length in record time. The runner-up had had a 15 length advantage and was 9/1 joint favourite.

In 1973/74 Red Rum was at the peak of his powers winning four more races and a second Grand National, as well as the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Scottish Grand National.  Red Rum wained somewhat following these seasons but – in 1977 – secured a place in racing history when he won the Grand National for a third time.

In 1995, Red Rum died at the ripe old age of 30. Buried by the winning post, the horse put both the Grand National and Aintree back in the public limelight.

It doesn’t matter if you are a fan of online slots, online roulette, blackjack, or any casino or gambling games, anyone who enjoys a flutter – online or offline – should appreciated what Red Rum did for the betting business.

Rock on everyone. It’s axe god Eric Clapton’s birthday today. It’s also the day that Jimi Hendrix set his guitar on fire at Finsbury Park in 1967.  There’s only one thing for it:  grab a guitar (air or real), dig out some denim, turn up the music, and smash some chocolate eggs.

Have a fantastic Easter everyone and enjoy a rockin’, rollin, lovely break!

Happy Good Friday everyone.  Here at 32Red, we’re gearing up for a chocolate fuelled Easter weekend with a hot cross bun battle and blow out.  It’s Xena the warrior princess’s birthday today so we will be battling for buns, dressed as Lucy Lawless, in only in leather epaulettes and furs.

It’s also a big day for Greek synth maestro Vangelis. His country may be bankrupt but the man who wrote Chariots of Fire, Bladerunner, and many more classics is 70 today.  Chariots of Fire was all about running which elegantly links us to another piece of mind blowing trivia about today… It was in 1981 that the first London marathon was run.

Hope you all have a fab weekend. We may be heading out tonight to see Danny Boyle’s new movie Trance which opens across the UK today. Don’t forget to nominate Lady Gaga’s wedding song for your chance to win £32 glorious chips to enjoy at the 32Red casino.

Some of you could be forgiven for thinking that here at 32Red, we’re a little old fashioned:  we like our Floyd coloured Pink, we dig the 1980s, and think grime is… err… grime (as opposed to a drum ‘n’ bass, dancehall, hip-hop, garage derivative from East London, pioneered by a Mr Dizzee Rascal).

Well.. you’d be wrong. We love a little afro pop, chiptune, glo-fi, nu folk, dubstep, and an occasional glitch out. Which is why we are celebrating LADY GAGA’S birthday and keeping up with the little monsters.

The Madonna/Bowie/Mercury hybrid is 27 today and the rumour mill suggests it may be her last year as a single lady. Someone (Taylor Kinney) has agreed to put a ring on it!

God knows what Gaga will wear for the wedding. However… we want YOU to guess:

What music should Lady Gaga and her groom to be enjoy their first dance to?

Here at 32Red, we think they should dance to either Freak Out by Chic or Creep by Radiohead!

Make us laugh, cry, or sigh and the chips are yours. We’ll pick a winner on Saturday.  Happy birthday Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta!

Oh, I’m sorry… Did I break your concentration? Lock up your Royales with Cheese… Auteur, bad muthaf***er, and living legend Quentin Tarantino hits the big 5-0 today. The Reservoir Dogs/Jackie Brown/Pulp Fiction/Kill Bills/ etc director is half a century and counting.

Here at 32Red, we can’t get enough Tarantino action. We start the day with a little Pulp Fiction before hitting the Reservoir Dogs for lunch. Then it’s afternoon tea with Django, Jackie, and Bill, followed by Basterds for supper and then its Dusk til Dawn (we know he only produced this one).

Today is also the day that shoelaces were invented in 1790. How would Tarantino handle that scene in a movie… (cue wobbly screen).

“Hey mutha****, my ***ing shoes keep ***ing falling off. Hey, man… I got an idea: Yay… though I walk through the Valley of Death I shall not fear my mutha***ing shoes ****ing falling off. Use this bit of old ****string and tie them up you dumb ass mutha*****…” (all to the sound of a classic retro tune).

Something like that maybe? Have fun and everyone and congrats to XXXXXX for winning the Monday compo. Please email promotions@32red.com with your username to get a £32 bonus added to your casino account.
