In addition to this the website is attractive and the layout is easy to navigate, meaning players will quickly find whatever they are looking for.

Popular slot machines such as Rainbow Riches, Kitty Glitter and Cleopatra slots are all available along with some new famous names including GhostBusters, which boasts four frequent mystery features and two bonus games. MoneyGaming’s slots collection is extensive and growing fast, with the company regularly adding new slots games. Both free to play and real money games are featured on the website with mega jackpots regularly exceeding £2 million.

Along with the games MoneyGaming also offers their customers some great promotional offers.

How good is the iPad for gaming?

The iPad Mini has been around for a while now and whether you love it or hate it there are some areas in which it excels - despite the late Steve Jobs’ aversion to creating such a tablet. Android lovers will claim that the iPad Mini is only popular because of Apple fan-boys but anyone who enjoys gaming on a tablet, whether for the casino games like Roulette at Ladbrokes or casual games like Bejewelled, will tell you that the iPad is excellent when it comes to gaming.

The iPad mini is Apple’s corner of the 7-inch tablet market, and although it hasn’t blown competitors out of the water, they have certainly matched expectations. The 1024 x 768p resolution is ideal for gaming, as the smaller screen means the graphics are more precise. Combined with the dual core A5 CPU chip, gaming on the iPad mini has slightly better specifications than its main rival, the Nexus 7.

For those who love a flutter at the online casinos, the iPad mini is the one to go for. Live casinos are now available on iPads thanks to companies like Ladbrokes.com, who have recently launched their exciting array of tablet games and slots. Roulette is currently one of the favoured games as it is ideal for playing on the train during the commute, or whilst waiting for friends. Because of the immersive viewing offered by the iPad mini, less time-consuming games like roulette become more enthralling and can bring the feel of live casinos and dealers direct to your tablet. The superfast dual core A5 chip (same as that of the iPad 2 and iPhone 4) combined with the fluidity of Apple’s iOS 6 makes the gaming experience of this tablet a joy to behold. Despite people suggesting that the larger iPads are better for graphics, the mini’s minimal weight – only 308g – means that when playing your favourite casino game, your wrists will not ache from the weight over time. Whether holding through the centre or by the corners you can sit for hours on end while travelling or simply sitting in your favourite chair, and not think the tablet cumbersome and awkward as happens with the full-sized iPads. Although the placement of the speakers means that, when held horizontally, the sound can be muffled, and the placement of the headphone jack means the cable can occasionally droop across the screen, the iPad mini is easy to handle and draws you seamlessly into your gaming experience regardless of its size.

For serious gamers we think this is the ideal tablet and starting at £269 it’s a reasonable price for the amount of technology you’re getting. The next thing we’re waiting for from Apple now are expandable memory options.

Features of Today's Top Website Builders

When it comes to building a website, today's designers have a staggering amount of choices in terms of design tools. You no longer need to have any knowledge of coding or web design to get started. Some of the most popular tools include blogging and website builder platforms, which allow casual users to create and publish a unique website in the span of an afternoon. Yet these feature vastly different levels of control and customization for the designer. While any good program will equip you with templates and web hosting services, the best website builder will allow content management, precise layout customization, and other specific features.

Fully Customizable Templates

One of the primary benefits of using a website builder for beginners is the availability of design templates. Yet this same benefit can be a problem for designers with a bit more experience, because it may be limiting. Some website builders will offer you a few dozen templates to choose from, only allowing you to change variables like colours, fonts, and patterns. If you want more control over your website's design, you'll want to look for a comprehensive program that offers you the ability to create custom backgrounds, change margins, and apply features like rounded corners or gradients if you wish.  

Ecommerce Functions

Website builders like Shopify and Yola are set up to enable online sales. These are good options for business owners, freelancers, or bloggers who wish to expand into sales and marketing. When comparing ecommerce sites, look at the types of payment gateways each offers as well as inventory management functions. The best options will present products in organized categories, have an easy to use checkout system, and will send you alerts when a new sale is made for timely shipping.

Social Media Integration

No matter what type of website you're setting up, you'll want to be able to link it with your social networking profiles. Programs like Weebly and Webs offer full social media integration along with web hosting. Look for features such as the ability to place social media buttons directly on the blog, cross-post content, and set up user forums for your clients or audience.

User Support

The best platforms will offer technical support to help you get your newly created website off the ground. If you have little prior knowledge of coding or web design, it's important to choose a platform that gives some degree of assistance. The best will offer FAQ and troubleshooting sections, online tutorials, and a customer support section where you can get direct answers for any questions you might have.  

In the end, the right platform will depend on your personal needs and design experience. Those who have some technical experience or training will want to find a website builder with more room for creativity in the design, while beginners will want a more comprehensive user support system. The best options will be both flexible and user-friendly, for professional, swift results.

So Long Windows Live Messenger!

After loyally serving its users for more than 13 years, Microsoft finally bit the bullet anddecided that it will retire its Windows Live Messenger service on March 15 this year. The plan to shut down Messenger was already on the table in November 2012, but the exact date had not yet been announced. Now, the software giant officially notified its users by email that from March 15 on, Windows Live Messenger will no longer be ‘live.’

Windows Live Messenger, more commonly known as MSN Messenger, was launched way back in July 1999. Before the social media era, it was once one of the most widely used online chat services. As the years rolled on, more functionality was added to the chat, allowing users to share pictures, make video calls and play online games. However, having to compete with Facebook Chat, Skype, Google Talk and iMessage, its popularity has waned significantly.

When Microsoft coughed up a whopping $8.5 billion in 2011 to purchase Skype from eBay and its other shareholders, it became clear that Windows Live Messenger’s days were numbered. With Skype, users can not only chat, call and make video calls but they will alsoreceive additional benefits which they didn’t have with the good old Messenger: screen sharing, calling to landlines and group video conferencing. Furthermore, Skype has a broader device support for all platforms, including iPad and Android tablets. Not to mention that Microsoft canmonetise its users through top-up services making Skype the natural commercial choice.

Microsoft will be offering the Windows Live Messenger users a migration service to easily make the transition to Skype. An upgrade button was added to the newest Messenger desktop app. When clicking on it, it automatically uninstalls Messengers and replaces it with Skype.However, some of those who already made the transition reported that the transfer of contacts was not successful. Skype want to make the transition as smoothly as possible, advertising for additional technical support jobs to join its team in preparation for March 15. Those who already have an existing Skype account can easily merge it with their Messenger account.

So, it looks like you have approximately two months to keep using your beloved Messenger. Alternatively, you could migrate to China where it will still be possible to login on Windows Live Messenger, because the technology is hosted by a local service provider.

So long Messenger, long live Skype!
