			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gamblinglog.com/blackdiamond/" target="_blank"><img align="left" style="padding-right:8px; border:0px" src="http://www.gamblinglog.com/wp-content/uploads/black-diamond-casino-logo.gif" alt="black diamond casino logo Black Diamond Casino Switches Software" title="black-diamond-casino-logo" width="175" height="150" class="size-full wp-image-542" /></a>I had looked at Black Diamond Casino a few months ago. They were using TopGame software to run their casino games. The one thing that I did not like about Top Game software was the lack of good table games. Specifically, they don&#8217;t have craps and some of the other basic games that all the other software providers make. </p>
<p>The thing that did turn me away from Black Diamond was partially that their site was having problems loading from time to time and they didn&#8217;t seem to be online all the time. I&#8217;m not sure if the software had something to do with this, but I did find that TopGame did take up more of my system settings and needed to be activated in the system tray of windows in order to work. I wasn&#8217;t overly impressed with the quality of the games either.</p>
<p>I have the feeling that Black Diamond Casino must have felt the same way, because they recently switched to Rival casino software and there seems to be less technical problems overall. Plus they now have more games to offer players.</p>
<h3>New Promotion</h3>
<h4>No Deposit Bonus</h4>
<p>In order to draw new players to their casino, Black Diamond has decided to offer any new customer a free $25 no deposit bonus to try their new games and software out. This free bonus is pretty fair too. If you do not decide to deposit at this casino after you get this bonus, you can still withdraw a maximum of $50 from the account. This is provided that you wager the $25 at least 25 times or $625 in wagers.</p>
<p>If you are from Europe, this is €25 that needs to be wagered 30 times (€750 total). If you are from the UK, you can get £25 that needs to be wagered 40 times (€1000 total).</p>
<h4>Slots Welcome Bonus</h4>
<p>In addition to that, you can also get a welcome bonus worth up to $1000 on your first 4 deposits. Not each bonus is the same for each deposit though. The 1st deposit is a 200% bonus worth up to $200 free on a $100 deposit. The second deposit is a 100% bonus worth up to $100 free.</p>
<p>The 3rd and 4th deposits are both 50% deposit bonuses. The third deposit is worth up to $200 free on a deposit of $400 and the fourth is worth up to $500 free on a deposit of $1000. </p>
<p>These bonuses are only good for the following games: All slot games excluding progressive slots, specialty games and Keno. No video poker or table games are allowed. The wagering requirement is 25 times the bonus and deposit values combined.</p>

<h4>All Games Bonus</h4>
<p>Want to be able to play all the games with a bonus? Black Diamond has that covered as well. You can get up to $300 free on your first 3 deposits. This bonus only excludes any type of Roulette game.</p>
<p>On your first deposit, you can get a 50% match bonus that is worth up to $100 on each deposit. The third deposit is a 25% match bonus that is also worth up to $100 (on a $400 deposit)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.gamblinglog.com/slotocash/" target="_blank"><img style="padding-right: 8px" align="left" src="http://www.gamblinglog.com/wp-content/uploads/slotocash-logo.gif" alt="slotocash logo New Video Slot Wacky Wedding" title="Click here to play at Sloto'Cash" width="200" height="150" class="size-full wp-image-519" /></a><a href="http://www.gamblinglog.com/slotocash/" target="_blank">Sloto&#8217;Cash</a> has just added a brand new video slot to their stock of more than 50 slot games. It&#8217;s called Wacky Wedding and it has a theme based on all the normal cast of characters that you would see at your average wedding. The slot starts out with a 30 second flash intro of a nervous groom, the jealous bridesmaid, and a nosy mother-in-law and culminates to a finish showing the beautiful bride.</p>
<p>This game was created by Rival Gaming and the slot machine itself is a normal 5 reel video slot that has a total of 20 paylines, a wedding ring jackpot icon, an expanding wild wedding cake, a champagne bottle scatter card and a bouquet bonus round icon.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the way that this video slot works:</p>
<h3>Wacky Wedding Video Slot</h3>
<p>As with all video slot, you must line up icons from the leftmost reel on the screen and match the icon across the reels to the right in order to win a payline. You can bet on up to 20 paylines, which means you can win multiple times on the same spin. In Wacky Wedding, you must match at least three icons across in order to win a payline, except for the wedding ring jackpot which only requires matching 2. </p>
<p>One cool feature about this game is an expanding wedding cake icon that takes over the middle reel. This wild card will be substituted for any icon except the scatter or bonus. The cake only expands when you can complete a payline with it.</p>
<p><img style="border:0px" src="http://www.gamblinglog.com/wp-content/uploads/wacky-wedding-slot.gif" alt="wacky wedding slot New Video Slot Wacky Wedding" title="wacky-wedding-video-slots" width="515" height="395" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-512" /></p>
<p>You can also win free spins by getting three of more champagne bottles on the screen. This icon is called a scatter and does not have to be on a payline to win. If you get three champagne bottles, you win 10 free spins, 4 for 20 spins and 5 for 75 spins. The free spins work by taking the coin amount you bet when you received free spins and uses that amount to determine how much you win for each free spin.</p>
<p>Wacky Wedding also has a bonus round that you can win. Simply get three or more bouquets to trigger the Toss the Bouquet bonus round.</p>
<p><img style="border:0px" src="http://www.gamblinglog.com/wp-content/uploads/wacky-wedding-slot-bonus-round.gif" alt="wacky wedding slot bonus round New Video Slot Wacky Wedding" title=Bonus Round!"" width="515" height="190" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-511" /></p>
<p>In this bonus round, the bride will throw her bouquet to one of five ladies (or one guy) and you will decide who she throws it to. Whoever catches the bouquet will give you a certain amount of bonus money won. </p>

<p>You can see how you are doing by looking at what place you are in while you are playing Winter Wonderland. Also, you can check out the current top 10 players totals at any time in the tournament lobby.<br />

<p>In this video slot, you can bet on up to 20 paylines. A payline is won by matching 2 or 3 icons in a row from the first column on the left across to the right. You can win multiple paylines with a max bet.</p>
<p>Also, during the course of play, you can win 15 free spins by getting three of the scatter icons on the reels. The free spins have the same payouts as your bet that you received free spins on. </p>
<p>There is also a bonus game that you can achieve. In the bonus game, you will be rewarded with a certain amount of bonus money in correlation to the amount that you bet. In order to win the bonus game, you must get the bonus round icon (the girl on skis) to appear on the first, third and fifth reels.</p>
