Frank Miller's Sin City Comes To The World's Largest Online Casino

Gibraltar - 17th June 2011 - Following up on last week’s release of Frank Miller’s Sin City: The Hard Goodbye at Digital DarkHorse comes more exciting news around this legendary title. Sin City has now entered the online gaming world, with a new game at X This new five-reel, fifty-line slot features art and story from the widely acclaimed series by comics legend Frank Miller.

When Sin City originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents: Fifth Anniversary Special in April 1991, it was clear that the face of the comics medium had changed forever. Since that time, Miller’s groundbreaking comics noir has found its way into the public consciousness with toys, games, and even a feature-length motion picture. Frank Miller’s Sin City remains one of the most stylized works in the history of the medium, drawing heavily from film noir, including its use of shadow and stark backgrounds. The black-and-white comic was perfectly suited to the original format of Dark Horse’s flagship anthology, with occasional spot usage of primary colors added to later volumes and editions.

"Frank Miller’s Sin City is a very different slot to any other we have launched in recent times. The striking artwork and mature content mean this isn’t a game for the faint hearted," said a spokesman for X

There are five featured games, which win the player free spins and multipliers: “Straight to Hell,” “The Hard Goodbye,” “He Never Screams,” “Deadly Little Miho,” and “Just Get Warmed Up.” The games feature the series’ main characters: Hartigan, Nancy, Miho, Marv, Kevin, the Yellow B*stard, and Dwight. The game includes mature content and scenes of violence, nudity, and depravation.

X has the most frequent game launches in the industry and offers over 160 games, including over 100 slots. PartyCasino.com pays out easily over $10 million EVERY DAY to players. “The Big One” is structured as a five-tiered pool. The highest tier—Colossal Cash—seeds at $1.5 million, the biggest online jackpot seed in the industry, and currently stands at over $1.6 million.

The two men are believed to have ran away on foot with the man's belongings. One of the mongrels was described as being about 23-year-old and wearing a gray jumper, while the second man was wearing a black jumper. Appropriate coloured clothing for the black hearted criminals.

Aussie Casino King James Packer And Baillieu In Negotiations Over Gambling Laws...

The Victorian Baillieu government has held talks with gambling tsar James Packer about plans for gamblers to limit their potential losses before beginning to play pokies in Victoria. Both the government and a spokesman for Packer refused to say when and where the discussions took place and if the federal government's plans for the mandatory pre-commitment system or a possible High Court challenge to the proposal were discussed. Crown Casino spokesman Gary O'Neill said: "Crown does not comment on the substance of discussions Packer may or may not have had with anyone." A spokesman for Premier Ted Baillieu would confirm only that the Premier had chatted with Packer at several functions since winning the November state election. Gaming Minister Michael O'Brien's spokesman said: "The minister has met with many parties interested in gambling regulation in the seven months since the election and will continue to do so. "Discussions regarding the Victorian government's pre-commitment policies have occurred with various groups including Clubs Victoria, the Interchurch Gambling Taskforce and Crown Ltd (including its chairman, James Packer)." The Reverend Tim Costello, national campaigner for action to reduce problem gambling, said he had been waiting six months for a meeting with Baillieu. He said that Baillieu should be transparent about what contact he had had with Mr Packer. "I thought Ted Baillieu came to office promising greater transparency," he said. The Baillieu government supports a voluntary pre-commitment system for poker machines and has threatened a High Court challenge if the Gillard government proceeds with its mandatory pre-commitment system. A mandatory pre-commitment system for poker machines is being demanded by federal Tasmanian MP Andrew Wilkie - without which he will withdraw his support for the Gillard government. It is not just with the Victorian government that Packer has been discussing poker machine reforms. His Crown Casino recently engaged ex Labor Party national secretary Karl Bitar to manage its relations with the government, and reportedly hosted individual briefings with senior federal Labor ministers including Treasurer Wayne Swan, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, Sports Minister Mark Arbib, Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten and the Families Minister, Jenny Macklin. Packer's political punts as of late look to be paying off.
