Slotland’s 3D online casino WinADay.com has launched a new 4 pay-line slot branded Heavenly Reels, suitable themed with angels and other pleasant notes on the afterlife.

Players can wager on one, two, three or all four pay lines, with two spins for every wager on Heavenly Reels. After checking the results of the first spin, players can hold any or all of the reels on their second spin.

“Treasure Box” is a special bonus fund feature within the game that accumulates during play. Any amount bet on a pay line that lands on the “Wild” symbol – a celestial pig with angel wings - is added to the Treasure Box, which players can open and claim when they match up a special code below the reels.

The site features animated “staff” avatars making sure that visitors are enjoying the 3D experience.

WinADay.com now offers four unique slot machines that can be played for fun or for real money wagers. All games are in instant-play Flash format that requires no downloading or installation. All four games are tied to one progressive jackpot which is currently over $30 000.

A spokesman for the casino has revealed that WinADay.com developers are currently working on another two 3-D slot machines to be branded Diamond Mine and Puzzle World - these will be added to the games lobby within the next two months.

Reports on CTV Toronto indicate that the police have again been active in raiding “poker houses” in the city. Police executed search warrants on Nuttz and the Pertutti Bar and claim to have seized gaming tables, chips, cards, other equipment and cash.

Seven people have been charged with keeping a common gaming house, and fifty-six others with being found in a common gaming house.

The investigation, led by the organised crime section’s illegal gambling unit, is in collaboration with various police services across southern Ontario from Ottawa to Windsor, a police spokesman revealed this week.

“The unit is responsible for province-wide illegal gambling investigations pertaining to Part VII of the Criminal Code within the province of Ontario, with an emphasis on organised crime,” he said.

Det. Emilio DiPoce told the news station that illegal gambling operations had been lucrative for the owners, earning up to Cdn$ 1.5 million a year.

“It’s astronomical how much money they make,” DiPoce told reporters. “Anybody who deals in drugs has got to have their head read, when the gambling is so easy for them.” And, he added, the money was not declared for tax, doubling its intrinsic worth.

DiPoce said such gaming clubs are “popping up all over the place,” and predicted that ythe situation would get worse due to growing enthusiasm for poker generated by extensive television coverage and advertising.
