When we first heard about Circus Casino from Stanley's we thought Circus Circus Hotel Casino And Theme Park Las Vegas.  Not sure if the two are associated I suspect they are not.

A quick look at their web site reveals CircusCasino.com is operated by Genting Stanley Alderney Limited and complies with the stringent licensing codes operated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

So just where do online gamblig games get played out on a person's screen clearly but where is the screen information sent from.  Well the majority of online gambling sites are hosted offhsore for tax reasons.  We have done a quick rundown of the main locations or perhaps we should call them the most reputable locations.

A poll held by America's highest selling newspaper USA Today has indicated that the vast majority of Americans support online gambling and believe the draconian constraints placed upon it by the Bush administration should now at last be lifted.

The Poll was prompted following a story published on Congressman Jim McDermott's proposed taxation bill on online gambling introduced last week.

When asked the question "Is it time to legalise online gambling? 97 % of those who answered said yes.

A quick tally of all the Trade Assocations for online gaming. 

Reading Igaming Business Market Place 2008/2009 they have been bold enough to name their view of the most influential online gaming companies.  I have made a summary of their findings for our readers.

When famed Renaissance Artist, Inventor and Philosopher Leonardo Da Vinci was working on master pieces such as the Mona Lisa (left) he could hardly have believed an online slot machine would be constructed in his honour.

But here it is, Getminted's 'Da Vinci Diamonds' and like the great man's famed works this too is a master piece in it's own sphere!

If ever an online game could take you back in time then this is it.

Natural jewells pepper the screen as do images of the Mona Lisa and other such pieces of art work linked to the Italian genius.

Unique to the 'Da Vinci Diamond' game is the Tumbling Reels feature which immediately makes you realise you're not playing on just any online slot game.

With this clever visual feature the symbols fall from the top of the screen rather than spinning upon reels.

Winning symbol combinations simply disappear and new symbols quickly tumble down to replace the vansihed symbols. In essence then you can win more than once on a single spin.

Not only do you get wonderful timeless graphics then but also a different style of slot format.
