In the Spotlight
A Guide to the Hottest Online Action—Lasseters.com
by J. Phillip Vogel

After spending almost $2 million on redevelopment, Lasseters.com, Australia’s largest and longest-running online casino, has recently launched a revamped version of their Web site complete with a new look, better graphics, faster downloads and a greater gaming selection. “Site improvements and modifications such as these allow Lasseters Online to be more responsive to players’ demands for new and improved games,” says Peter Bridge, Managing Director of Lasseters. “It also significantly reduces the amount of time our players spend with site housekeeping and provides faster and simpler access to their winnings.”

As a result of the upgrade the site has been simplified to reduce the number of layers, dramatically improving navigation and reducing the time required to commence play for first time players by 75 percent. In addition, players are now able to download Flash technology from Lasseters Online, allowing them to maximize the benefits of the new site. Individual games can now be downloaded in around one minute, and players need no longer install the entire suite of games prior to registering.

The upgrade has also nearly doubled the number of games available, raising the total from eleven to twenty-one. Joining the existing games (which include Blackjack, Roulette, Sic Bo, and Video Poker) are Baccarat and Nine Slots, themed with a unique mixture of traditional Las Vegas flair, fantasy, and sports. Betting ranges on the games start from as low as 1 cent to a maximum of $50 per spin. Additional slot games that will introduce a range of new bonus and free game features, and the addition of popular substitute and scatter symbols, are currently being developed.

Lasseters is Australia’s first government-licensed and regulated online casino, and the company brings more than twenty years of land-based casino experience to the world of Internet wagering. With updated software comes a whole new level of gaming entertainment and I look forward to even more promise in the near future.
