How often do you announce the launch of new sites or new games?
Sometimes established companies launch new gaming sites. For example, CWC just launched the High Noon Casino last Tuesday. And oftentimes casinos offer new slot games. For example, Microgaming launched the new Lord of the Rings slot game last Tuesday as well. So, for the question of the week, we thought it would be interesting to ask how often folks feature brand new online games or online gaming sites. Be sure to share your views about the benefits of publishing such information and whether it would fit with the focus of your site. View pollLast week's poll results: How do you pay your employees?
