New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has championed the cause to bring regulated Internet gambling to his state. Now that online gambling is a reality in New Jersey, Christie stayed strong this week regarding his expectations from the industry.

Online casinos went live late last week in New Jersey, and the early returns have not been what was expected. The slow start, however, has not deterred Christie's prognostication for revenue. Christie still believes online gambling revenue will top $1 billion by next summer.

In the week since online gambling went live, the state reported over 37,000 accounts that have been created. The numbers, according to some experts, may not accurately represent how many people signed up at the online casinos.

"There were over a handful of casinos that went live last week, and gamblers tend to set up accounts at several different gambling locations," said analyst Travis Harken. "So while there were almost 40,00 accounts created, there is a good chance that a good portion of those accounts could be multiple accounts by individual gamblers at different online sites."

While the state monitors the first week of action, online casinos have come out strong in their effort to lure gamblers. Betfair, and several other online sites that have opened, have started ad campaigns on television stations aimed at bringing gamblers in.

During Monday Night Football on ESPN, Betfair ran ads touting the legality of online gambling in New Jersey, and encouraging gamblers to sign up for accounts. Betfair offered free play in exchange for initial deposits from gamblers. The ads in New Jersey have followed similar ads that are being run in Nevada.

"It's eye-opening," said Harken. "Gamblers in the US have never seen this type of advertising pressure for online gambling, and it is not yet known how they will react. Much like ads for other products such as liquor and automobiles, ads for online gambling during sporting events is viewed as an effective tool for marketers."

VALLETTA, Malta Microgaming Systems has excited the online gaming community including the likes of JackpotCity Casino by announcing the release of Avalon 2: The Quest For The Grail online video slot, set to be released in February 2014. Although this casino game is a sequel to the original 2006 title, Microgaming has made it clear that they are not resting on their laurels and have thus far unveiled a teaser trailer for the actual game along with another one showcasing the design elements that have gone into the production thereof.

This upcoming title promises to deliver something not seen in any of Microgaming’s previous slot titles – eight bonus rounds. The game has five reels and will use the 243 Ways-to-Win system, but that is a gaming formality these days. Of far more importance is the interactive nature of Avalon 2: The Quest For The Grail along with its interesting storyline that not only updates the Arthurian myth by bestowing a very visual contemporary design, reminiscent of many current fantasy novels and films, but through motion capture technology, endows its key characters with incredible realism.

Avalon 2: The Quest For The Grail uses four main characters to set about what can only be described as a sweeping, epic tale – the type that will make players think of the Tolkien novels. Microgaming has fleshed out a full-fledged tale with the intention of drawing the player in and engrossing the individual in a world consisting of 3D design and animation. The addition of player choice with regards to the choosing of the quest path also lends this game longevity. The lead characters are King Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Morgan and a sinister individual known as the Black Knight.

As the title suggests, this casino game bases its story around the quest for the Grail. In managing to get three or more Grail chalice symbols to appear on the reels, access is granted to a map of Camelot and on it the various bonus rounds. There are eight bonus rounds, each presenting players with unique challenges to win and get closer to the most coveted bonus round of them all - The Isle of Avalon.

Avalon 2: The Quest For The Grail online video slot shows a lot of promise. Its scale appears to be bigger than anything Microgaming has done in the past, and when the game lands in early 2014, the company and its affiliate online casinos such as JackpotCity are no doubt expecting an increase in their player bases.
