Based on the hugely successful video game of the same name, Hitman is a cool dark slot machine with plenty of interesting features to grab and hold your attention. The bonus game is particuarly good where you get to choose which villan to assasinate and which waepon you want to use to do it!

This game is not only great fun but it’s also one the cheapest around with the minimum bet at just 1p. You can also play it for free on Ladbrokes who kindly give you 20,000 credits free to get you going. It’s very easy to both understand and play but if you fancy getting some practice in first then this is the way to do it.

Hitman is available to play online at Ladbrokes casino and you should really give this slot a go. It’s dark and brooding, graphically amazing (especially the bonus games), with haunting background music – perfect if you’re not feeling particularly chirpy!

It also has a reputation for its excellent slot selection, and one of the most popular Microgaming slot machines available at Ladbrokes Casino is Scratch N Spin. Scratch N Spin is a pub-style machine. In other words, it uses a fruit-themed symbol set, has only three reels, one pay line and allows only one coin per bet. Coin sizes range from £0.10 to £10.00. Both the standard game and the bonus games pay out in scratch cards rather than directly in coins, hence the name.

Each scratch card won has a hidden value. The unit is either a coin or a multiplier, but in this case, the terms are interchangeable. Each unit is worth the amount of the wager. So if you bet £1, and then won 100 coins from the scratch cards, you’d walk away with £100. The jackpot is 1,000 coins or multipliers. In the case of a £10 bet, that’s £10,000, but if you bet £0.10, it’s only £100. Hit the jackpot by hitting three Scratch N Spin Logos. All other symbols pay out a lesser amount for hitting three in a row.

A “spinning” Scratch N Spin logo initiates the bonus game. You only need one spinning logo, and it doesn’t matter if the symbol configuration is a winner or not. Based on the symbol values, the bonus gives you x number of scratch cards, and then you win the number of coins revealed times your wager. Since the scratch cards can be worth up to 1,000 coins total, the bonus game is essentially another shot at the high jackpot.

Scratch N Spin also offers two “skill” games: Skill Start and Reel Magic. In the case of Skill Start, the game flashes the letters S-T-A-R-T, and you have to hit them in order to form the word. If you do it right, the game automatically re-spins to a winning combination. In Reel Magic, the game flashes symbols. Select one to stop, and then the game re-spins to a winning combination. You can’t lose in Reel Magic, but the higher the symbol the better, so you definitely want to aim for a logo.

Scratch N Spin also offers actual skill features in the form of hold and nudge. Hold lets you pin one to three reels and then spin again, which is quite valuable when spinning from a near-hit. Nudge lets you bump a reel to change one of the symbols. It’s possible to nudge into a jackpot, and there are peek arrows, so you don’t have to nudge blind. Bank lets you save up to four nudges. Repeat is a bonus that lets you repeat your nudges from the last spin. Gamble is a simple 50-50 wager: bet a nudge to win a nudge.

The beauty of pub slot is their simplicity, and perhaps no online pub slots deliver that charm quite the way that Scratch N Spin at Ladbrokes Casino does. It’s fun, fast, including an auto-play option, and it’s highly addictive. We like it so much, in fact, it’s one of the few slot machines we actually play in free mode when the bankroll is just too small to play for real.

The facebook group swiftly gained over 45,000 followers, was created after footage was shown of looters being unable to detach the television screen from the wall of the company’s Lavendar Hill shop, despite up to three people using their whole body strength by hanging off it.

Ladbrokes Bookmaker have said they will look at the condition of the TV before auctioning it for Charity. Richard Royal, Public Affairs Manager at Ladbrokes, commented:

“Whilst the incident itself was clearly very serious and disturbing, it is an indication of the London spirit to be able to put a silver lining on what otherwise is a very black cloud.

“We have noted of the strength of community feeling regarding the bastion of defiance that is our TV screen, and the suggestion that we should consider auctioning it, with proceeds going to the clean-up operation. I have asked for the condition of the TV to be assessed, after which I see no reason why this can’t happen.”

Below you can see footage of the famous TV.

Fallon’s seven-day suspension incurred recently at Kempton has ruled him out of the Newmarket Guineas meeting, the former champion jockey having been on board for both of Fury’s winning outings last term. Haggas expressed his pleasure at having secured Murtagh’s services, the pair having teamed up on many occasions in the past including with the smart Cheveley Park-owned Penitent.

Fury, a 16/1 shot for the 2000 Guineas in the latest online horse racing betting, runs in the colours of the same owners and made his racecourse debut at Newbury last September where word of his ability had reached the racecourse ahead of his first outing and he was duly sent off the 15/8 favourite in a field of 13. He didn’t disappoint his supporters, quickening readily a furlong from home to put the race beyond any doubt. Two weeks later, again ridden by Fallon, the son of Invincible Spirit contested the 27-runner Tattersall’s Millions 2YO Trophy on the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket, where he came bounding up the hill to record a one-and-thee-quarter-length victory of the very useful Pisco Sour.

Haggas reports himself pleased with the way the three-year-old has been working in preparation for a crack at the first colts’ Classic race of the season, and is hopeful his charge will give a good account of himself against Frankel and the rest. Murtagh will bid to land the big race for the third time in his career having first won the mile event on the outstanding Rock of Gibraltar back in 2002, before following up in 2008 on Henrythenavigator, both winners trained by Aidan O’Brien.

The Colm Murphy-trained nine-year-old is undoubtedly a talented performer but has had more than his fair share of tumbles in recent seasons as his record of five falls from his last 11 outings over both hurdles and fences bears testament. An old injury to a ligament in his near-fore leg has flared up again meaning that Murphy won’t be able to have the gelding fit enough to run at Cheltenham. Instead, the horse who was generally quoted at Cheltenham betting odds of 33/1 for the two-mile-five-furlong Ryanair Chase, will be given more time to recover and hopefully return later in the term, possibly at Punchestown in April.

A smart bumper horse in his youth, the gelded son of Tiraaz has only once in his career left the shores of Ireland and that was when bidding for the 2008 Cheltenham Festival Bumper, where he eventually finished a good third to Cousin Vinny, having been sent off the 3/1 favourite. Although he has never won any graded contest over obstacles there have been a number of occasions when Zaarito has looked as though he might be about to land a big pot, only for his jumping to let him down at a crucial stage. The most recent example was when coming to take up the running at the third last in the Grade 1 Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse last April, only to take a nasty fall from which he thankfully recovered quickly.

Murphy’s charge has only had the one outing so far this term when running with credit at Fairyhouse in December to finish second to Golden Silver in the Grade 2 Hilly Way Chase.

When the decision to pause the tournament for four months was first announced a couple of years ago it was met with mixed feelings. Some only saw the negative qualities such as it detracting away from the history of the tournament or the fact it takes the momentum away from the final tablists. But others saw some positives including allowing the WSOP to gain extra publicity and the players who made the final table receive great deals from poker sites wanting them to endorse their product. Regardless of your views the “November Nine” as the gimmick has been called has been a success so it looks as if it is here to stay.

Each of the nine remaining players are guaranteed to take home no less than $811,823 but all of them will have at least one eye on the $8,944,138 first prize, and of course the coveted WSOP bracelet that comes with winning the Main Event.

The biggest story of the November Nine is that Michael Mizrachi, the player who won the inaugural $50,000 Poker Player’s Championship and with it his first bracelet, has also made the final table of the Main Event. He already has over $8.8m in live tournament winnings and a win or runner-up finish will see him overtake Phil Ivey as the number one in the all-time money listings.

The rest of the final table of nine are relatively unknowns with many of them playing online poker professionally. The only other player at the final table with at least $1m in live tournament winnings is Tampa based poker pro John Racener, all the rest have won around $600,000 between them.

All but one player, Cuong “Soi” Nguyen have listed their profession as a professional poker player which adds substance to the claim that poker is a game of skill but the non-poker playing public love an underdog story and would prefer a rank amateur to win poker’s biggest prize.

When the players return to The Rio on November 6 they will be seated as follows:

Seat 1 – Jason Senti – 7,625,000 chips

Seat 2 – Joseph Cheong – 23,525,000

Seat 3 – John Dolan – 46,250,000

Seat 4 – Johnathan Duhamel – 65,975,000

Seat 5 – Michael Mizrachi – 14,450,000

Seat 6 – Matthew Jarvis – 16,700,000

Seat 7 – John Racener – 19,050,000

Seat 8 – Filippo Candio – 16,400,000

Seat 9 – Soi Nguyen – 9,650,000

The Grade 2 at Newbury proved to be wholly unproblematic for the Nicky Henderson trained gelding and he looked comfortable throughout; moving towards the front of the field with four to jump, before going on to win by seven lengths from Martys Mission.

A fine hurdler, Punchestowns finished second only to Big Bucks in last season’s Ladbrokes World Hurdle and hopes were high that he could make the step up to chasing, with Henderson remarking in September that: “That’s what he’s bred to do.” A disappointingly small field of four, was certainly not enough to stop him in his tracks and Henderson will now be hoping that Punchestowns can build on the victory and go on to compete with the very best.

The on form trainer said: “I read in the Racing Post this morning that Newbury aren’t happy with the small number of runners in these novice races but they are imperative for us trainers.”

He added: “I won’t be in a hurry to go over three miles because he’s not a slow horse. At this trip we’ve got the likes of Long Run, who just arrived about ten days ago.”

After the race, jockey Barry Geraghty, was also full of praise for the six year old. He said: “That was terrific. It was a sheer joy to ride him. He’s got plenty of pace and that trip was fine for him.”

With those in the know already predicting a serious challenge and unpredictable odds for the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2010, the name Punchestowns is set to be on everybody’s lips for years to come.

In 1973 the course was eventually sold to property developer Bill Davies who gave a commitment to keep the race going but his heart never quite seemed in it. Attendance at the 1975 Grand National was the lowest in living memory (admission prices had been tripled by Davies) and the Grand National had reached its lowest point and it looked like the end for the great race.

In 1975 a campaign was started by Ladbrokes Bookmaker to revive the ailing Grand National race. Ladbrokes took control of managing the Grand National. Ladbrokes had a deep love for the National and were determined to keep it going. After 8 years of management by Ladbrokes the future of the Grand National and Aintree seemed secure.

Property developer Davies was unimpressed by the swift chances in fortune and still seemed determined to sell the Aintree course. Finally the general public realised that this may be the last chance for the Grand National to be saved and huge campaign was launched to rescue the race once and for all. Generous donations from the public allowed the Jockey Club to purchase Aintree from Davies. In 1984 Distillers Seagram stepped in to provide the solid foundation on which Aintree’s revival has been built. The last Seagram sponsored National was in 1991 when the race was won by a horse which chairman Straker twice had the opportunity to buy; the horse’s name was Seagram!

A subsidiary of the Seagram company, Martell Cognac, took over sponsorship in 1992. During this time the National experienced a big boom. In 2004 around 150,000 people were at Aintree to witness the last Martell backed race. Aintree racecourse now enjoys its most successful period ever. Plans for the future include a new grandstand, as well as a redeveloped winner’s enclosure.
