Casino Meister 2006 Awards Announced

Saturday January 20, 2007

The Casino Meister Awards for the online casino industry have been posted for the year 2006 at Casinomeister.com. These anticipated awards are held by many to be some of the most important and prestigious awards given to online gaming companies.

32 Red Casino took the honors for the fourth year in a row for "Best Casino of 2006." Bryan Bailey, administrator and presenter of the awards states: It's the people behind the casino. 32 Red Casino are trailblazers of transparency in an industry full of secrecy and cloaking devices. Long before it became vogue to go public, 32 Red Casino made no secret who was behind this well oiled machine. CEO Ed Ware understands not only the day-to-day workings of an online casino, he understands the necessity of player trust. Player trust is indispensable to this industry. Player trust cannot rely solely on a gambling software platform, a licensing jurisdiction, or a stamp of approval - it relies on the activities of the people behind the scenes.

Trident Entertainment Group (Trident Share) was awarded the "Best Casino Group Award" for the second year in a row. Bailey states: Their overseer is truly a no-nonsense operator who will go to the ends of the globe to ensure that her properties are treating players fairly and responsibly. Always on the alert when a player may have an issue, and never reluctant to admit her staff may have made a mistake, players are ensured that they will have fair and honest treatment at the Trident properties. These casinos are solid and have earned their position as the Best Casino Group of 2006

Inter Casino received Casino Meister's "Milestone Award" award for the year. "Intercasino celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 2006, and I can honestly say that for ten years Inter Casino has been constant as a respectable, high-principled, and conscientious online casino. The online gaming industry is a turbulent one, and Inter Casino has weathered every storm it has passed through without skimping on player needs."

But the awards are not all praise. There are the "worst" of the year awards as well. The Sunny Group received the award for the worst casino group: "They were one of the pioneers of the industry - one of the first Microgaming casinos, and in fact awarded the "Best Casino Group" of 2001 here at Casino Meister. But over the past few years, they've slipped into bizzarro-land..."

This award is given to operations that seem to rely on the premise if you ignore a problem long enough, it'll go away. This was awarded to the entire industry that failed to prepare for the prohibition minded US legislature. This award goes to every entity that busied itself with spending millions of dollars per month on advertising and stupid marketing gimmicks when they should have been directing their resources on protecting their businesses and their employees.
