As seems to be the case every year, 2010 was an eventful one in the online
gambling industry. It gives us great pleasure to announce the winners of the
Gamblingkingz.com 2010 Online Gambling Awards.
Best Casino 2010 - Party Casino
2010 was a coming of age for
Party Casino. Whereas before it was seen simply as an add-on product to the
poker room, in 2010 Party Gaming made a concerted effort to turn their casino a
into a standalone product that will hold appeal for casino enthusiasts who may never be
interested in poker.
It started with a complete website and casino software interface redesign,
followed by the addition of a variety of custom built games, and
the sourcing of best of breed slot machine games from the top developers. Round
that off with big bonuses and a loyalty program that delivers value and you have
a serious online casino.
Congratulations to the winner of our 2010 Best Online Casino award -
Party Casino.
Honourable mention:
Winner Casino - a new Playtech casino from a new operator that we think is
going places.
Best Bookmaker 2010 - bet365.com
bet365.com won the highly coveted "Online Gambling Operator of The Year"
award in the annual eGaming Review Magazine Awards and also tops their Power 50
as the most influential online gaming operator in 2010. That's some achievement.
For us it was hard to look past these credentials and our personal
experiences. Not only have I been a satisfied member for over 7 years, but in
eight years of promoting bet365 we have not had a single customer complaint from
our referrals. The Privately owned company from Stoke-on-Trent made it clear
this year that they will remain private and the absence of public shareholder
pressure and market volatility seems to suit them just fine.
Wall to wall,
bet365 has every type of gambling product anyone could want. It's a deserved
winner. The Coates family has firmly established bet365 as the best place to bet
and long may that last.
Congratulations to to
bet365, our Best Bookmaker of 2010.
Honourable mention:
Unibet, a quality product in every respect.
Best Slots Casino 2010 - All Slots Casino
There are slots sites, and then there's
All Slots Casino. In 2010, the site operated by The Jackpot Factory Group
has consolidated its position as the premier slots site with over 80 new game
releases, an even better cash rewards program, and a well planned tournament
schedule. This casino just goes from strength to strength and leaves the the
competition behind.
Congratulations to
All Slots Casino, our Slots Casino of The Year for the second year running.
Honourable mention:
Virgin Casino, for launching a fantastic range of "best of breed" slots from
multiple software developers. It will be a serious contender next year
Best Promotion 2010 - Bet365.com Casino
Last year the Million Pound Sterling slots tourney from Microgaming won this
award. This year, it's another Million Dollar promotion and yes, it's
bet365 Casino this time. Their fabulous "Race to a Million" promotion
is the best of the year and runs throughout December. In addition to loads of cash prizes,
player are competing for three Mercedes SLK Sports cars. Car buff or not, you
have to agree that's a some prize!
Congratulations to to
bet365 Casino, the winner o our Bet Promotion of 2010 award.
Honourable mention:
Paddy Power Bookmaker for some of the most batty, entertaining but also
valuable promotions all year long. Their advent calendar over December has been
a gem, with a different prize announced every day of the month in some hilarious
video clips. Their football money back specials also offered great value all
year long.
Best Game in 2010 - Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Slot
A technical milestone in slots development, as the first game to integrate
movie footage with the spinning game reels. The Cinematic Spins (TM) technology,
combined with the sheer fascination that Middle Earth holds made this a
memorable game release.
Congratulations to
Microgaming,
winner of our Game of the Year for 2010 award.
Honourable mention: Rockstar Slot from
Betsoft
Gaming. As brilliant as its cheesy (in a good way).
Best Social Responsibility 2010 - Ladbrokes

Charitable Trust, Live Life Safe, Crimestoppers, Cancer Resaearch UK, Race for
Life, the Bobby Moore Foundation for Cancer Research, the Great Foundation to
name but a few.
Congratulations to
