World Series of Poker management billed the heads-up portion of the Main Event final table as a heavyweight fight between two pugilists. But 22-year-old Danish poker pro Peter Eastgate had other ideas; he turned the duel into a somewhat one-sided affair and had his Russian counterpart Ivan Demidov on the ropes for the entire night.

The final hand was typical of the win for Eastgate. A seemingly harmless 4c fell on the turn that gave Demidov two pair, fours and twos, but completed Eastgate’s wheel draw. All the money went in on the river and Eastgate’s final knockout punch made him World Champion.

“It kind of summed up the heads up. I had him crippled to below 20 million and I was lucky that he hit two pair where I hit the wheel,” said Eastgate immediately following the win. “It was kind of inevitable for those two hands to get it all in.”

When the night began Eastgate was ahead of Demidov by just over 21 million chips. The early action saw Demidov hit some hands and win enough pots to take over the chip lead. His lead though was temporary as the deck went cold for the Moscowvite.

“I really had no idea how he was going to play heads-up and he has way more experience than me. So maybe I was playing a bit passive and sometimes I made the bad calls when I should have just folded,” said Demidov. “I still called way too much and it cost me a lot of chips. I also made a few big bluffs at the wrong time.”

After re-capturing the chip lead on the 22nd hand of the night Eastgate kicked into high gear and never looked back on his way to the win, the $9 million first place prize and the Main Event champion’s bracelet. At 22 he also broke the record held by Phil Hellmuth for youngest Main Event champion ever, though he admitted to not thinking about anything but the game at hand.

“I wasn’t thinking about the records or anything like that. I just was thinking about playing my game,” said Eastgate. “I spoke to (Hellmuth) yesterday. He wished me luck and gave me a handshake.”

Special Winners Edition

First of all I’d like to thank you. You don’t know how much you have saved me. No, I’m not exaggerating. You saved me from a great mess-up. To make a long story short, my partner broke up with me and left me in debt. Thanks to your casino and also to luck, I was able to pay these off. Moreover, I had the joy to buy myself a brand new Renault Scenic of which I had dreamed of and make my kids happy. I will never be able to thank you enough. I hope I will win again, after all we can dream, and so keep the promise I made you the other night: come see you in Hong Kong! I hope to be able to tell you “see you soon”. Thank you again and have a good time.

Marie E ($5381 - AtlanticVegas.com)

Julie N ($12,000 - AtlanticVegas.com)

I cannot say enough good things about AtlanticVegas.com. The games are fabulous, odds are great and customer service is tops! I have cashed out SEVERAL times and have tried other online casinos and only lost. My favorite games are Aztec Slot,Mystic Slot and 3 card poker and awesome blackjack. I have won several times on these games and they are so much fun. I have been treated wonderful by the customer service team, especially Sean from. They are very professional, courteous and respond to me quickly. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience. You have ONE LOYAL player here!

Pat B. ( $9000 - Aztec Slot)

I won $180,000 by hitting two Royal Flushes within two days. When I hit the first Royal Flush playing the Aces and Eights video poker game, my first impression was shock and disbelief and I had to ask my son to come into the room to make sure my eyes weren’t deceiving me. My son verified it and then gave me a big hug just to calm me down. The next day, when I hit another Royal Flush, I couldn’t believe the luck I was having and that this was really happening to me.

Everyone keeps asking me if I’m going to throw a big party with this money I’ve won. To be honest, that is not the first I had planned on doing. This money is going to pay off my mortgage and student loans. More importantly, I can now start a very good savings account for my children to help them in their future. Oh yeah, I will have plenty left over just to be a little extravagant with myself — maybe a cruise to the Caribbean?

The friendly and helpful staff is the greatest! Thank you AtlanticVegas!

Kid Poker is the nickname of the most popular poker player Daniel Negreanu. Daniel Negreanu is one of the most recognizable poker players in the world today. Most of his popularity comes from his natural affability at the poker table.

But the player known as “Kid Poker” is as respected as anyone when it comes to the poker wars. Standing 2nd on the World Poker Tour’s all-time money list, Negreanu has put together a run over the past eight years that few can match. So don’t let the fact that Daniel’s mother sometimes brings him a warm lunch to the game. Daniel is a smiling assassin.
Daniel Negreanu was born in Toronto in 1975. As a teen, he became a pool hustler. Eventually, Daniel decided that poker was far more challenging than pool, because it’s harder to read a person than to read the grain of a billiard’s table, so Daniel began to master cards.

Daniel developed his uncanny post-flop talents early, and it’s well-known that he can read his opponent’s relative strength or weakness with an amazing degree of accuracy. Daniel dropped out of high school to pursue his new ambition, eventually leaving Toronto for Las Vegas at the age of 21.

At 23, Daniel burst upon the poker scene when he won the Pot Limit Hold ‘Em title at the World Series of Poker. This victory made him the youngest winner of a WSOP bracelet.

This became the beginning of a string of success that continues to this day. Daniel is the proud owner of 3 World Series of Poker bracelets and 2 World Poker Tour season titles.

Negreanu’s proudest poker achievement was probably winning the Toyota Player of the Year Award in the 2004 World Series of Poker. This award was given for sustained excellence during the grueling, month-long 2004 WSOP. During that month, Daniel won a World Series bracelet and placed in five events.

There have been other big wins, too. Daniel took home over $1 million for winning the Borgata Poker Open in 2004. Soon afterward, he grabbed another $1.8 million for his win in the Five Diamond World Poker Classic.

Watching Daniel Negreanu is watching a great poker player at his best, in the prime of his poker career, in fact.

Online slot machines are essentially virtual re-creations of the original Las Vegas slot machines.
There are several different types of slots, although their mechanics and rules are practically the same. The game usually involves matching symbols that spin and stop to reveal one or several symbols on the screen. The symbols are usually brightly colored and easily recognizable, such as images of fruits, and simple shapes such as bells, diamonds, or hearts. The main objective of any slot game is to line up various symbols in various combinations on the slot payline.

Variations of the number of paylines and reels lead to the difference between machines, aside from drastic cosmetic differences, which have no impact on the rules of the game. And depending on how many reels and symbols the machine has, the payout table will vary.

This is a good point to distinguish the difference between reel slots and video slots, both of which can be played straight or progressively. Reel slots always have three reels and generally range from one to five paylines (one payline being the most common). Video slots will always have more than one payline (sometimes in excess of forty paylines) and are usually composed of five reels.

The main game screen features reels, paylines, payline buttons and control panel.
Figure 1: Main game screen components

Reels
Party Night video slots have 5 reels with 3 visible objects on each.

Paylines and payline buttons
Party Night slots game features as many as 20 paylines. Paylines are straight or zigzagged lines that cross through one symbol on each reel, along which a winning combination is evaluated. Each of paylines selected is highlighted at the game screen in a particular color.
Figure 2: Party Night slots paylines

Each payline has the corresponding payline button. Payline buttons are used for selecting the paylines to bet on. By clicking the specific payline button marked with the appropriate number a player selects paylines inclusively to the selected one. For example, selecting the payline marked with ‘4’ paylines 1 to 4 are selected inclusively. Paylines selected are highlighted, appearing as lightly colored lines across the reels.

Payouts screen
Once the Paytable button is clicked on the main game screen, the Payouts screen opens. This screen contains the description of such bonus features as: Wild symbol, Scatter symbol and Bonus symbol.
Besides, the Payouts screen itself states the payout table with winning amounts for various symbol combinations. Winning patterns may contain 2 to 5 symbols with various winning amounts awarded.
Figure 3: Payouts screen

Bonus Game screen
Once the Bonus Games button is clicked on the main game screen, the Bonus Game screen opens. This screen lists the bonus game rules.

Placing Bets
Placing a bet in Party Night Slots means:
- selecting the value of one coin
- selecting the number of lines to bet on
- selecting the number of coins wagered per line
A player should place a bet before the reels start spinning.

• The coin value can be selected with the help of the BET button. The default coin values available are 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.50 and the coin value selected is displayed in the COIN VALUE box. Coin values are configurable parameters and can be changed on the merchant’s request.

• A user can select the coin per line value using the ADD COIN button. The number of coins per line can be 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The number selected is displayed in the COINS/LINE box.

• A player can change the number of lines with the help of ADD LINE button at the control panel. The number of lines is ranged from 1 to 20 inclusively. The number selected is displayed in the LINES box.

The two notions are used in the game: line bet and total bet.

The total bet amount is calculated as follows: (Coin Value) x (Number of paylines) x (Number of coins per line). The total bet value is displayed in the Total bet box.

The line bet equals (Number of coins) x (Coin value).

The figure below displays the situation when a player has selected 0.10 as the value of one coin (COIN VALUE), 5 coins per line (COINS/LINE) to bet and 5 paylines to bet on (LINES). The TOTAL BET box displays 2.50, correspondingly. All the buttons at the game control panel are enabled.

Figure 4: Bets are placed

A bet can be placed using the BET MAX button that allows selecting the maximum number of paylines and maximum Coins per line value. Once the BET MAX button is clicked the reels start spinning automatically – without clicking the Spin button.

Spin and Spin Results
When the Spin button is clicked, the reels start spinning. All the control buttons are disabled.

After some time spinning reels start slowing down and then are stopped fully one by one. When the reels are stopped, lines are evaluated for the winning combination.

Loss
After the reels stop spinning and there is no winning combination formed along one of the paylines, all the buttons at the control panel become activated and a player can place a bet again.

Win
In case there is at least one winning combination formed along one of the selected paylines after the reels stop, this payline starts blinking, being highlighted and marked with the corresponding color. The amount won along this very payline is displayed on the payline button. The winning pattern is framed and animated. The information line contains the message with the winning amount. While the winning payline blinks, all the buttons at the game control panel are enabled.

Figure 5: Winning combination formed

In case more than 1 payline wins, the winning paylines are animated in turn. Each winning payline blinks twice. Note that same symbols may belong to the various paylines and thus are evaluated and paid separately.

Switching to the Payout screen shows the winning symbols and winning amount(s) highlighted and blinking.
Figure 6: Winning combination is highlighted on the Payouts screen

Winnings Amount Calculation
All symbols pay left to right on consecutive reels of an active payline. All wins are multiplied by the line bet.

The winning amount is calculated as follows:

(Payout listed in the table) x (Line bet) =
(Payout listed in the table) x (Coin Value x Number of coins per line)

Let’s take an example. For the winning pattern formed in the figure below 10 coins are paid. The coin value is 0.10, 5 coins are wagered per line. Thus, the win equals (10 x 0.10 x 5) = 5. The win amount is displayed in the information line.

In case there are winning combinations formed on more than one payline, the winnings of all paylines are summed up. The information line displays the total winning amount.

PARTY NIGHT SLOTS FEATURES

Party Night Video Slots game provides the following bonus features:
• Wild Symbol that substitutes for any symbol except for Bonus and Scatter ones;
• MEGAWILD feature;
• Bonus Game initiated after a certain combination of Bonus symbols is formed;
• Free Spins granted to a player in case a certain combination of Scatter symbols is formed
• Auto Spin option

Wild Symbol
Party Night Wild symbol substitutes for any symbol, except for Scatter and Bonus symbols. It does not pay anything by itself.

Figure 7: The Wild Symbol

The figure below displays the situation when the Wild symbol has substituted the “girl” symbol so the winning combination has been formed and Payline 2 has won. Payline 2 is marked with yellow color.
According to the rules, three such symbols pay 7 coins. The winning amount is calculated as follows: the number of coins in the payout table is multiplied by the line bet. So, 0.1 x 7 = 0.70

MEGAWILD feature
Wild symbol that appears anywhere on the 2nd or on the 4th reel triggers MEGAWILD feature.
MEGAWILD means that all the symbols on the 2nd (in the first case) or on the 4th (in the second case) reel become wild, thus increasing the player’s chances to win.

In the figure below the following situation is displayed: a player has placed a bet on 20 paylines with the coin value of 0.1 and 5 coins per line. As a result of MEGAWILD feature initiated (the wild symbol has appeared on the second reel), all the symbols along the 2nd payline become wild. Winning combinations have been formed along sixteen active paylines! The total win amount equals 57.50.

Scatter symbol and Free spins option
Three or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels trigger free spins for a player. 3 Scatter symbols bring a player 3 free spins, 4 Scatter symbols – 5 free spins, 5 Scatter symbols – 10 free spins.

Figure 8: The Scatter symbol

To attract the player’s attention the combination of 3, 4, or 5 Scatter symbols formed is animated (blinks twice).
If one of the mentioned combinations is formed anywhere on the reels, then the reels start spinning automatically without clicking the Spin button by a player.

While the reels spin, the message in the information line displays the number of spins granted to the player and with each spin used – number of the spins left.

Besides, 2 and more Scatter symbols that appear along the active payline(s) pay out to the player according to the payout table.

Bonus Game
3 or more bonus symbols on any active payline trigger ‘Party Night’ bonus game. This game includes 5 rounds; the aim of each is to earn as many bonus points as possible. During each round a player is offered 5 items for selection. All 5 items differ in the number of points granted. Once the item is selected, bonus points granted for this very item are displayed. Bonus game result is a sum of all bonus points earned during 5 rounds.

Note: In case 3 or more bonus symbols appear on more than 1 active payline, bonus points offered to the player while choosing items are multiplied by the number of paylines that have won. Bonus points granted for each item are directly proportional to the number of winning paylines.

B = a*x

Where x – number of winning paylines, a – specified payout granted for the item, B – actual bonus points granted to the player.

Situation 1: 3 bonus symbols appear on the 9th winning payline, the player is offered 5 items for selection; their values are 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20.
Situation 2: 3 bonus symbols appear on the 9th and 10th active paylines, the player is offered items for selection, which values are 2, 10, 20, 30 and 40, correspondingly.
