King Solomons buys Windows group

The RTG-powered King Solomons online casino group, which includes the King Solomans, Geisha Lounge and Grand Aces casinos with affiliates mustered through Wager Junction has announced the acquisition of Tony Friedman's Windows Casino Group, whose portfolio includes the Windows Casino and online casinos such as Gold Key, Portofino and Magic Oasis.

No details of the consideration paid for the new acquisitions were given.

The move will need to be accompanied with some spring cleaning if the player community is to regard the enlarged group as credible; there have been numerous incidents involving these casinos and the supporting e-gaming commission, and rogue status has been given on some watchdog sites.

Among recent sins has been the display of the eCOGRA seal by Magic Gold Casino when this operation had not even applied for the initial inspections. Recent rumours have also suggested that payout percentages certification may be outsourced to the OPA, which does not enjoy wide professional acceptance.

First established in 1998, King Solomons will now place all the products of the new conglomerate under the same management policies and standards as the rest of the group. According to marketing manager Keren Fuchs King Solomans group now owns and operates 10 different online casino brands alongside several online Bingo and multiplayer poker brands.
