Slot Machines News

Christmas is certainly a time when my mailbox gets a workout.  It’s usually mixed bag of holiday greeting from friends and family (those who still put pen to paper, that is), and a steady supply of sales books/offers, etc.

Well, to my surprise I just received a package from a Microgaming casino that I hadn’t heard of before.  The fact that there is a Microgaming that I hadn’t heard of is somewhat odd to begin with.  the fact that I’m on their mailing list is odd as well. 

Usually a mailing like this includes a disk of the casino’s games, and this one was no different.  But what WAS Different is the fact that they had already signed me up as a player.  Here’s a quote . . .

“Your account has been pre-registered and credited with $500 free”

Now the $500 was part of one of the popular “$500 for wagering during the first hour” promotions.  But, since Microgaming has essentially shut their doors to new players from the United States, I thought that this was an interesting situation. 

Instead of me signing up, they must have pre-qualified me as someone who isn’t from one of the “heavy 11″ states, which come to think of it has expanded to include Kentucky.  At any rate, if you are stateside and don’t have an account at any of the Microgaming casinos, I can’t tell you where or how to get “pre-registered” like this, but I thought I’d post about my surprise experience to let you know that there seem  to be some backdoors open.

Maybe you should consider calling up customer support at a casino that interests you and inquire about them registering you?  Anyway, just a heads up on the happenings in the world of online slots.
