<p>Internet poker giants indicted in U.S. crackdown.<br />
The three offshore companies--PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker--are accused of circumventing a 2006 U.S. law that prohibits financial institutions from handling transactions for online gambling sites. Prosecutors say they allegedly tricked U.S. banks and credit card issuers into processing billions of dollars in transactions that appeared to be legitimate sales on hundreds of fake online retail sites purportedly selling jewelry and golf balls.<br />
The Web sites displayed messages saying &#34;This domain has been seized by the FBI pursuant to an arrest warrant.&#34;

			<description><p>Don&#39;t worry, I&#39;m not offended at all :) Just usual nagging when I found my games where I didn&#39;t expect :)</p>
<p>Well of course I know Caiman, the game took 2nd place in Caiman Casino Games Contest after all. By the way we intended to make it way better, but half a year of lazyness took it&#39;s toll.</p>
<p>Website is kind of dead forever though, as now I shifted to creating board games...

			<description><p><strong>Hi, welcome and thanks for your game, ExC!</strong></p>
<p>Now and then a game developer finds the way to the GOTD forums. All of them were more <strong>pleased</strong> than surprised to find new friends for their games, and they never complained about it.</p>
<p>When your website<br />
 <blockquote><a href="http://links.giveawayoftheday.com/sites.google.com/site%2Fexcgames%2F">http://sites.google.com/site/excgames/</a></blockquote><br />
would be online, I would have sent your game back home, it seems you are really missing it <strong>;)</strong></p>
<p>Our friend and games master wizz found your game on that wonderful site <blockquote><a href="http://links.giveawayoftheday.com/caiman.us/">http://www.caiman.us/</a></blockquote><br />
and as we never found anything else than free games there, we were &#34;bona fide downloaders&#34;.</p>
<p>Good luck for your website and coming games.</p>

			<description><p>This is just a project to let the community  know  what freeware games are out there.  We don&#39;t get any commission  for doing it, we just  want the   community to know   there&#39;s good games out there.  We wouldn&#39;t have posted your game if we though it wasn&#39;t decent.  Sorry if you feel offended that we didn&#39;t contact you personally.  </p>

			<description><p>I was actually rather pleased with this game as it was slightly refreshing (though a little too easy in my opinion.) Perhaps you'll be a convert now midori?

			<description><p>Today's game is called Khaymann's Inn. Khaymann's Inn is a card game very similar to poker. When the game starts out, you have to choose from one of three characters: goblin, sorceress, or a dwarf. After choosing your character, you are taken to the game screen. First you have to click on a little green button at the top left of the screen to deal 3 cards. Based on the cards, you make a choice of which aspect you want to represent. The four aspects to choose from are swords, flags, skulls, or goblets. Once you pick your aspect, click on the green button again and you will be dealt two more cards. At this point in time, you decide if you want to keep your current aspect or change it. After you decide, you are allowed to exchange cards just like in poker.</p>
<p>Scoring is based on face value of cards. Blank cards are worth 0 and dragon cards are worth 11 points if they are in your chosen aspect. If you have a dragon card that isn't in your aspect, your best bet would be to keep it. Dragons are wild and can be played on any aspect but are only worth 8 if not your chosen aspect. Once the scoring begins, the player must pass a semi-finals round. This means that you must have the most points in your aspect out of the three players. Even though it may not be your chosen aspect, you can still get more points than the other players, mainly through dragons. All players who pass this round will go on to the finals where the total of your aspect will be matched against the other players' chosen aspect. The player with the most points wins the hand.</p>
<p>Betting seems to be one coin per card dealt. Usually the pot will be 15-20. In the case of a draw, the pot carries over to the next hand. I actually got into this game somewhat, kind of like video poker I guess. I give this game an 8/10 for attempting to be slightly different in a genre where there's not much room for originality. The download comes in at 11.8mb so it shouldn't take long to download it.</p>

			<description><p>I'm a 59 year old kid too Wizz, I'm really enjoying this game too.  Its a lot like the Happyland Adventure games but with the added side games.</p>
<p>Not that I can figure out how the Poker game works, so I guess I'm not as bright as a 10 year old kid!!

			<description><p>Today’s game is called Casino Islands.  Casino Islands is a blend of puzzle/casino games.  You play as a penguin that, for some reason or another, is trapped on islands trying to get to a boat that takes him to another island to get stuck on lol.  Each island has empty spaces between the land that you will have to fill with big blue chips.  Sometimes, the only way you can get from one piece of land to the next is to drop your own chips by pressing the action button.  The object is to not only get to the boat safely, but to collect tokens and playing cards along the way.  There are also casinos on some of the islands where you can play a rather fun version of poker called solitaire poker, greed which is kind of like blackjack, and hi or low.  I had quite a bit of fun playing the poker game, but I found the other two to be rather easy to win at.  Poker is easy to win at as well, but I believe with this game it is more about how much you can win as opposed to if you can. </p>
<p>The first time I fired the game up, I was very pleased with the sounds.  The graphics aren’t half bad either.  The game started in a windowed mode but I easily changed that in the options menu.  However, I did have to restart the game for this to go into effect.  This game will probably only appeal to a select few out there, but if nothing else I think this game may be good for kids.  Be warned though, you only have a few lives and you’ll have to start over.  The puzzles are hard enough to keep us grown-ups challenged.  Overall, I give the game a 7/10.  </p>
