US Players Delighted With New Intertops RED Casino - 06-29-09

June 29 – On May 25th, Intertops.com announced the launch of their new "Red" online casino, powered by the Real Time Gaming software platform. The Austrian owned sportsbook operator had been operating their "Green" casino on the Microgaming platform, but US residents were not allowed to play.

Being a US facing sportsbook, the move to introduce the Red casino makes obvious sense as new US based sportsbook players could not play any casino games at Intertops.

When asked about rational behind this move, Michl Posch of Intertops said: "We've learned and grown with Microgaming but we chose to make this change in order to serve all the American players that have been so loyal over the years. We wouldn't change software providers unless we could continue to offer the most and best casino games and the biggest progressive jackpots. Players are already telling us they love all the RTG games, and we've got the biggest jackpot and jackpot pool available to Americans."

We have had a few queries from US and non US based players about the "Green" and "Red" casino and some clarification is in order.

• All new players who have signed up at Intertops after May 25 will play casino games at the Red Casino.
• Non-US residents who already have a real money account at the "Green" Microgaming powered casino may continue to play at that casino, or can open up a "Red" casino account.
• US-residents who had an Intertops account prior to the introduction if the UIGEA will be able to still play at the Green Casino.

The new Intertops Red Casino gives all players access to RTG's massive jackpot pool, currently over $4 million. The $1.2 million Jackpot Piñatas slot machine is the absolute biggest jackpot available to American players with the popular Aztec's Millions not far behind at over $1.1 million and the Shopping Spree which is approaching $1 million.

We think this has been an excellent news for US casino enthusiasts and positions Intertops Casino as one of the most reliable brands open to US players.
