Title: Free Odyssey Slot Online games from Barcrest ~ U.K. only
Post by: doublediamonddlx on February 09, 2009, 11:38:48 PM
This site has a bunch of what appears to be free online games.  A lot from Odyssey..(Vacation, top hat, Banana Rama)

Too bad you have to live outside the U.S.  This site was a direct link from Barcrest USA.

The error message they put up when a US IP tries to load a game is exactly the same as that of BlueSquare casino. I wonder if they're hosted on the same servers? Might even have the same owners? :103-

Error ID:
R24-GE-1006

Darn, My wife would have loved to play the Elvis slot.  I may try a proxy server.

Thanks,
Wayne

Could someone tell a dumb geek like me how to get a proxy server outside the us without getting my kneecaps broken or a visit from the feds? :5-

Well, that lets me out. I could always ask my sister. I can picture it now:
"Hey, can I piggyback on Google's server's in Europe to play free slots online?"  :5- :30- :30-  :24- :24-  :18- :18-  :97- :97- :97- :97-

If anyone "gets In"...I noticed that it loads into a separate web page.  Does this mean that slots are shockwave based?  If so, I was able (somehow I forget) to save the entire "free level" poker game (as a web based file) from the "led" website.  I just dont understand that if these titles were either bought or released and are being played for "Free" than how come they cant be released here?  And if these titles have been released why would they not be sold on CD from masque.  Talk about printing your own $$$$$.

All those games are owned by IGT and licensed to wagerworks which IGT also owns.. you move money from this pocket to your other pocket. And you can thank the unlawful internet gaming act (UIGA .. google it) for blocking US IP addresses from playing them even for free. Wagerworks claims their servers can't tell a real wager from a for free wager. The Feds keep IGT shaking in their boots when in reality we all know they're just pissing in the wind if they think they can stop people from the US from gambling online.

Thanks Ken. K+  :71-
It's good to have access to those games again. :89-

I suspect that the true reason that they don't allow US players to play for free is that we probably use up twice the bandwidth of all of their paying customers combined. The idea behind free play is to get new potential customers used to the idea of playing online before taking the monetary plunge. After all, they're not in business to provide the US with free online games.

Skybet doesn't have any of the MultiWay, Elvis or a few other new games, they must not have upgraded the software yet, I'm sure once they do you'll get the message from them too
