Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment and its PartyPoker.com and PartyCasino.com gaming brands are used to delivering world class promotions and games, and this gaming season is no different.

The award winning PartyPoker.com invites you to 'Conquer The World'!

Dominate the World

This November and December sees the exciting World Domination promotion return to PartyPoker as players are invited to take over the world, one city at a time.

During this World Domination period, PartyPoker is going to award thousands of dollars’ worth of cash payouts and freeroll tournament seats, while also giving the players a chance to challenge for a massive $100,000 top prize!

Taking over the World

In order to achieve world domination and take down the cash prizes, all players must do is earn PartyPoints between Nov. 7 and Dec. 32.

Each time a player earns 10 PartyPoints they will be randomly awarded 1 of 72 different cities from around the world. They will now have dominated that city and are encouraged to keep earning PartyPoints and taking over more and more cities. Players are able to be awarded the same city more than once and some cities will be harder to capture than others.

Most cities will also award an instant prize but the biggest prizes are awarded to players if they manage to conquer entire countries and continents. The $100,000 is what all players should be aiming for and that is awarded to anybody who manages to accumulate all 72 unique cities.

Most cities will award an instant prize or at the very least a freeroll ticket, while each continent and country has a different prize value. For example, if you conquer all four cities in England, you will be awarded an instant prize of $1,500! In addition to this, if you then go on to claim each and every country in Europe, you will be awarded a massive $20,000 and be well on your way to winning the $100,000 that goes along with achieving world domination!

Players can get started right now and earn their first city for only 5 PartyPoints, so make sure you head over to PartyPoker and start taking over the world!

In order to snatch your free bankroll, all you have to do is sign up for a PartyPoker account and wait for your immediate free credit of $25. Once you receive the $25, head to the tables and earn 200 PartyPoints, whereby you will then be awarded an additional $25!

This means that you will have earned 20 countries in the World Domination promotion while also receiving your free bankroll! Play smart and play often. Good luck at the tables.

Is the “Real Donald Trump” Real? - 18th November 2011

Profiles

Donald Trump Trump Entertainment Television Property

Donald Trump owns hotels, hosts a TV show, and occasionally almost runs for president. But today he has taken multi-tasking to a whole new level. While sitting in the audience of “Live with Regis and Kelly,” for the heartfelt final show in the long career of Regis Philbin, Trump sent a tweet from his account “@RealDonaldTrump.” Or at least there was a tweet sent from his account.

As with many of his tweets these days it was political in nature, about the healthcare debate: “Regardless of the USC’s ruling, ObamaCare can only be defeated politically. It must be legislatively repealed or America will go bankrupt.”

The tweet was sent at 9:57am, at the very moment when Philbin, an old and dear friend of Trump, was speaking on camera with his final thoughts on his career, and the show he was leaving behind. Trump was seated in the audience along with celebrities John McEnroe, Alan Alda, Tony Danza, and ABC’s very own Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Robin Roberts and Sam Champion. During the show, the camera fell on Trump several times, but it wasn’t on him at the moment this tweet was sent.

It’s unclear whether he snuck out of the Regis farewell to tweet about health care, was tweeting from the audience while Regis was saying goodbye, or maybe the @RealDonaldTrump isn’t quite as real as advertised.

Many celebrities have others tweet for them. Trump aides reached for comment did not know the timing or genesis of this tweet. (Credit: ABC News)

Online Gaming Talk Heats Up With Native American Tribes, by Greg Tingle - 19th November 2011

Casinos Casino Poker Slots Live Dealer

Native American Indians Gaming iGaming Politics World Directory Global Gaming Directory World Casino Directory

Native American tribes advised Thursday they want their cut of the jobs and revenue if online gambling is allowed in the United States but they don't want to lose their sovereignty to get it.

Internet gambling has been prohibited in the U.S. since 2006, which has seen players and their cash go to to websites and internet portals based offshore. With Congress searching for money to cut the deficit and create new jobs, supporters see an opening for legalizing at least some online gambling opportunities.

Should Congress act, the federal government will have to write rules and will likely collect taxes from proceeds. Native American tribes want the federal government to ensure they are allowed to operate, regulate, tax and license online gambling as well, if they choose to get in on the business.

"Although there is no legislation before the committee right now, one thing we are all aware of is the need for additional resources at the federal level," said Hawaii Sen. Daniel Akaka, chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, which held a hearing Thursday to air tribes' concerns on the issue. "The discussions surrounding potential Internet gaming legislation have only increased as Congress looks to the supercommittee to find revenue sources and Congress looks to create jobs ..."

The supercommittee Akaka referred to is a bipartisan committee of 12 lawmakers created this summer to find a plan to reduce government borrowing by least $1.2 trillion over the next decade. The committee is stalled in part over whether to raise new revenue.

A House Energy and Commerce subcommittee planned to hold its second hearing Friday on Internet gambling. There is bipartisan support for at least some Internet gambling. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., has pushed for its legalization for years.

While there is no Internet gambling bill before the Senate committee, there is legislation in the House, though it already has opposition from tribal leaders.

Ernie Stevens, chairman of the National Indian Gaming Commission, said tribes have united behind some core principles, including no taxation of tribal revenues. Current Internet gambling proposals violate those principles, "and we oppose their passage," Stevens said.

One such measure, sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, would legalize online poker. Spokesman Sean Brown said the legislation would allow tribes, like states, to opt out of allowing Internet gambling if they chose.

Some at Thursday's hearing expressed concern about proposals to allow the Department of Commerce to regulate operators of Internet games. Tribal leaders are calling for the National Indian Gaming Commission to continue to regulate their businesses.

The commission reported that last year, 236 tribes operated 422 gambling facilities in 28 states, generating $27 billion in revenue, evidence that the commission has the expertise to regulate tribal Internet gambling and won't have to start from scratch, learning laws particular to tribes as well as cultural considerations, witnesses at the hearing said.

Not all tribes support Internet gambling. Some see it as a potential competitor to their established brick-and-mortar casinos.

"The Tulalip tribe sees the legalization of Internet gambling as a direct threat to the economic growth in Indian Country," said Glen Gobin, vice chairman of the Tulalip Tribes of Tulalip, West Virginia.

"Do you think tribes are going to be able to compete with someone like Harrah's on Internet gaming?" Gobin asked.

Many U.S gaming companies including land based casinos are now starting to adopt online gaming into their business model, with MGM Resorts International recently teaming up with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment (which owns and operates PartyCasino.com PartyPoker.com and World Poker Tour).

It's widely believed that the U.S will see legal online gambling up and running soon, but then again, that's been the world for years, so for much of the gaming industry, they will believe it when they see it.

In the meantime entities such as Global Gaming Directory, Casino News Media and a host of entertainment and gaming website portals should consider to do a healthy trade.

British Poker Pro Jake Cody Signs Sponsorship Deal With PKR

Profiles

PKR PKR Poker PKR Casino Poker

While poker sponsorships may have dried up for American players, the top international pros are still bringing down high profile deals.

It was announced this morning in London that U. K. poker pro Jake Cody has signed a sponsorship deal to join the online site PKR and its professional roster. The innovative online poker site, which was one of the first to provide innovations such as 3D graphics for online play, has also been groundbreaking in the talent they have brought into the site. With the addition of Cody, Team PKR arguably has the best “pro player” coverage on the European continent.

The addition of Cody provides a high impact name that Team PKR lacked among its roster. Although its members – APPT champion Vladimir “Beyne” Geshkenbein, cash game pros James “james666” Sudworth and Sascha “Iocodice” Walter, WSOP Europe bracelet winner Scott “PKR_Scott” Shelley, Marc “Waswini” Barillier and Sofia “wellbet” Lovgren – are highly respected in the poker world, their recognition factor to the average fan wasn’t high. With the addition of Cody, Team PKR has one of the top stars in the world of poker at this time.

“I’m very excited about joining Team PKR Pro,” Jake stated during the announcement of his signing with Team PKR. “I’ve been patient with sponsorship, waiting for the right deal to come along. When I spoke to PKR, I was really impressed with the whole setup and the ideas that they have going forward and I knew straight away I wanted to be part of it! It’s a great site to be involved with right now and I think I can help take it to the next level.”

PKR Marketing Director Simon Prodger was elated at the signing of one of the fast rising superstars of today’s game. “We’re delighted to welcome Jake to Team PKR. He is the future of poker, a perfect example of the new breed of players who are taking the game to new heights. We’re really excited that PKR’s players will have the opportunity to interact with Jake and benefit from his insight and experience.”

Along with wearing the colors of Team PKR in international events, Jake will also help to build the site’s media content through videos and interact with players in their online community. Jake will have the first opportunity to take on PKR players when he steps up to play in two of PKR’s Sunday “Bounty Day” tournaments.

This most recent accolade is just the latest in what has been a whirlwind of activity for the 22 year old British pro. He is one of only four men (Gavin Griffin, Roland De Wolfe and Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier are the other three) to have won poker’s mythical “Triple Crown” – a World Poker Tour championship, a European Poker Tour championship and a World Series of Poker bracelet. What is most remarkable about this feat is the relatively short time span in which he did it.

At the start of 2010, few had heard of the British phenomenon, but Jake quickly set out to change that sentiment. He won the EPT Deauville in January of that year (taking down €857,000 in the process) and won the WPT London in August of that same year (for another £273,783). At this year’s WSOP, Jake won the $25,000 Heads Up Championship to add another $851,192 to his bankroll and, at the WSOP Europe in October, Jake made the final table before being knocked out in seventh place.

It took only 520 days for Jake to complete what most every other player takes a lifetime in simply pursuing. Since his debut in the live tournament poker world, Jake has amassed four victories, eight final tables and seventeen cashes. His lifetime live tournament poker earnings – in just over two years of play – sit at $2.87 million. (Credit: Poker News Daily)

Former Team PKR Pros include GUKPT winner Andrew 'golfpro699' Teng and Adrien 'zlatan35' Allain who, after winning APT Macau as a $5 PKR qualifier, has recently gone on to claim a WPT Amneville title.

With current and former members drawn from the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Russia, Team PKR Pro has a long history of unearthing new talent from PKR's international player base, valuing not only poker ability but the community spirit with which PKR is so strongly associated.

Sir Richard Branson: Why my friend is dying for a change in organ donor law, by Richard Branson - 17th November 2011

Profiles

Richard Branson Virgin Enterprises Limited

I’m quite used to people approaching me in the street for help. It’s what happens when you have a recognisable face.

But from the outset, Fiona Hills was different.

She came up to me as I strolled along Notting Hill Gate in London three months ago.

I was immediately taken by her – she was a vibrant, smiling, kind, happy, thoughtful person.

That made her story even more heartbreaking.

Fiona said she was terribly sorry to bother me but explained she had a liver disease and would die unless she could get a liver transplant.

She went on to tell me how 1,000 patients die needlessly every year while awaiting life-saving transplant surgery because of a lack of organs.

She had written to David Cameron but got no response and hoped maybe I was in a position where I could cut through the bureaucracy and get things done.

Fiona told me that, while 90% of the population support organ donation, just 29% are officially registered.

As I stood chatting to her in the street, I was embarrassed. I admitted that I had never signed up and did not have a donor card despite wishing to donate my organs when I die.

It had crossed my mind and was something I had debated over the years and therefore I felt guilty that I had not done something about it.

Then Fiona explained the proposed opt-out system to me, which makes carrying a donor card redundant.

This system, also known as ‘presumed consent’, is used with great success in other European countries, including France, Spain and Austria.

It is incredibly simple and saves thousands of lives every year.

Under the system, every person who dies is a potential donor unless they opt out from the transplant register.

As a result, the waiting lists for organs in these countries have all but disappeared.

As I stood listening to Fiona, it became screamingly obvious the same thing needs to be adopted here – and quickly.

That’s why I decided to launch a campaign for a change in the law, making it easy for everyone to become a donor unless they do not wish to be one.

When my father Ted died in March, aged 93, despite the fact that he wanted to become a donor no one asked us and in truth it was the last thing on our minds at the time.

Looking back, I know he’d have loved the idea of helping someone else and living on through them.

Britain has one of the lowest donor rates in Europe, with just 13 people out of every million donating organs.

People are dying completely unnecessarily in the UK because the wrong system is in place.

When people die they either go to a crematorium or are buried and their organs go to waste, organs which could save somebody.

Fiona is 42 and suffering from end-stage liver failure as a result of a genetic condition, auto-immune hepatitis.

She was placed on the transplant list in 2009 when her condition deteriorated and now lives in constant pain, spending three days every six weeks having six litres of fluid drained from her abdomen.

It just seems sad to think Fiona could die in a few years, yet with a slight change in the law she will be kept alive. The current UK system also puts young doctors and nurses in an awful position.

They face the prospect of asking ­relatives if they will allow the person they’ve just lost to be an organ donor. I cannot think of a worse question to have to ask, or indeed a worse time to ask the question.

As a result, many medical professionals simply don’t have the courage to ask or feel it is too inappropriate.

I have since spoken to my family about it and will do my best to always carry a card.

But realistically the law needs to be changed so people don’t have to think about always carrying a donor card.

When Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, he tried to introduce presumed consent.

Sadly, the law was never changed after objections from Muslim and Catholic groups.

But as I see it, if someone has a religious reason – or any other reason for that matter – why they wish to opt out then fine, they can.

I am writing to David Cameron and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley to ask for their support.

The number of patients in the UK awaiting transplants is staggering.

There were 6,920 waiting in 2009, according to the NHS Blood Transplant Organ Donation and Transplantation Directorate.

The majority of those were on dialysis costing £193million a year. If they had received a transplant, the annual cost would be £41million – a £152million saving to the NHS.

The fact the Mirror is helping to highlight the issue is fantastic and will help enormously.

The important thing is that organs are found for those who are in desperate need today. We will keep up the pressure and I urge Mirror readers to do the same by sending their messages to my foundation, Virgin Unite.

People are dying unnecessarily every day in this country. It needs to stop.

Al Pacino Does The Star Lyric Theatre In Sydney, by Eva Rinaldi - 17th November 2011

Profiles

The Star The Darling Echo Entertainment Al Pacino The Godfather Sydney World Casino Directory Australia

The Star (formally Star City Casino) continues to push the celebrity angle, fresh off Leonardo DiCaprio enjoying his digs on site, and even welcoming Stevie Wonder on stage a couple of weeks ago.

Tonight the long awaited 'An Evening With 'Al Pacino' show hit an appriciative and near capacity Lyric Theatre audience.

Pacino aka 'Scarface' (Tony Montana) and 'The Godfather' (Michael Corleone) grasped the crowd from the get go, and kept them for most of the 2 hour performance. Pacino received a standing ovation from his loyal fans and you could tell immediately that the actor was there to give it his all.

Well known Australian media personality Ray Martin moderated / interviewed, which I think added to the overall show.

Cutting away to the big screen at Pacino's instruction to show some of his favourite and most powerful acting work was a nice touch and no doubt gave us Aussies the opportunity to see some snippets from some of his films that were never released in Australia. I also enjoyed hearing about what he calls his "experimental films" and it seems like Pacino is interested in getting into producing since he's funded so many of his personal projects largely by himself (despite a young Steven Spielberg warning him against that sort of thing back in the 70s and 80s.)

My favorite part of the evening was the Question and Answer session. I counted not one but three oddball type questions from the audience. If you do the math about 20% of the questions were pretty strange, but maybe that is just a reflection of different kinds of people in society. As they say, it takes all kinds.

The show was a thumbs up, however I felt that the first half of the show was more entertaining and I enjoyed his Hollywood angles and stories... especially his Marlon Brando "secrets" and The Actors Studio stories were wonderful.

The last half of the show was a bit too clever and arthouse for me, however I appreciate that many of the audience members are hardcore Pacino fans and almost worship the ground he stands on.

The show is back at The Lyric Theatre tomorrow, in what is quite likely the last time Australian audiences will have the opportunity to experience Pacino close up here.

Thanks for being so giving of yourself Al, and we hope to see you back on the big screen soon.

NextGen Gaming joins forces with Nyx Interactive AB - 10th November 2011

NextGen Gaming Gaming iGaming Unicorn Legend Crocodopolis Shaaark! Superbet

World Directory Global Gaming Directory World Casino Directory

Stockholm, Sweden - Nyx Interactive AB ("Nyx") today announced the acquisition of NextGen Gaming Pty Ltd ("NextGen"), a leading independent provider of proprietary and branded slot games to the online and land-based gaming industry.

The businesses will merge to create a content-rich software provider combining NextGen's games catalogue and innovation in game design across the online, land-based, social and mobile distribution channels with the Nyx bingo, lottery and casino modules. The acquisition brings together two experienced international software providers leveraging their compatible customer base and complementary product offerings to deliver a broader roadmap of products and services to their customers. The combined business will own a catalogue of over 300 gaming titles with more than 40 customers and as a larger organisation is even better suited to meet the investment requirements of certain strategic regulated markets. Critically, the group will adopt a unified set of software standards enabling rapid delivery and distribution of content, including slots, table games, bingo, instant-win games and scratchcards to a notable customer-base that includes several World Lottery Association members, leading tier 1 operators and large casinos and sportsbooks. Furthermore, this will place the group in a strong position to profit from land-based casinos seeking to add an interactive offering to their portfolios.

The senior executive teams of both NextGen and Nyx will be combined, with games development continuing from the base in Sydney, software development and operations in Stockholm and certain client-facing roles and executive management in London.

NYX's focus on its core technology has resulted in an award-winning platform with leading edge products such as NYX Bingo.

In commenting on the acquisition, Matt Davey, CEO of NextGen added: "Combining NYX's proven bingo, casino and software solutions with the NextGen excellence in building engaging and profitable games enables us to massively improve our ability to offer market-leading product in a fast and flexible manner to our combined roster of customers. Leveraging our respective heritage in technology and product and our common employment cultures we are confident in our ability to develop, license and support a world-class suite of e-gaming products."

Also commenting on the proposed merger, David Flynn CEO of Nyx said: "Nyx and NextGen are a perfect fit. In addition to a shared set of values between the two organisations, we share a highly scalable business model and enjoy respected reputations. Our combined entity will be much stronger and our customers will benefit from NextGen's leading-edge games studio which produces some of the industry's best performing games. We are very excited about our future together." Staffan Lindgren, co-founder of Nyx added: "In light of the regulation of the European gaming markets, this strategic move puts us right in the sweet spot of what operators expect from their technology partners."

World Directory Global Gaming Directory World Casino Directory

Punters, here's 10 of the world's top land based casinos for you to mark down in your travel plans.

Monte Carlo, Monaco: Perched above the Mediterranean and bounded by the French
and Italian coastlines on either side, Monaco provides a spectacular and luxurious setting for the wealthy and the wannabees. Home to the Monaco Grand Prix and the legendary Casino de Monte Carlo, this isn't the place for those on a tight budget. The magnificent Casino hosts the annual European Poker Tour and was also the scene of several James Bond Films, including the original "Casino Royale" and "Golden Eye".

Paradise Island, Bahamas: Located just off the shore of the city of Nassau, Paradise
Island is best known for its sprawling 'Vegas-by-the-sea' resort, Atlantis. The resort spans seven acres along a lagoon, where guests can soak up the Caribbean sun and choose from a variety of outdoor gaming areas. When in need of a break from the tables, guests can enjoy the private beach or one of the resorts 20 sunlit pools.

Melbourne, Australia: As Australia's sporting and entertainment capital, Melbourne
offers the perfect option for high rollers looking for a local break. Aussies need look no further than Crown Casino on the southern bank of the Yarra River, which is one of the largest casino complexes in the southern hemisphere. The main gambling floor stretches more than half a kilometre and the casino was the first to introduce the new game Rapid Roulette, which allows players to place bets on a personal electronic touch screen connected to a central roulette wheel.

Macau, China: Known as the 'Monte Carlo of the Orient,' and the gambling capital of Asia, Macau now rivals Monaco and Las Vegas as one of the premier gambling destinations in the world. With no less than 33 casinos, in addition to local horse and greyhound racing venues, Macau is perfect for the betting junkie. The Wynn Macau casino is a standout, highlighted by 24-carat gold 'Tree of Prosperity' at the entrance, extravagant water displays and Moon Jellyfish Aquarium at reception.

Baden-Baden, Germany: Situated on the western foothills of the Black Forest and on the banks of the Oos River, Baden-Baden is not your typical casino town. However, in addition to its hot springs and picturesque countryside, the town is also known for its 200-year-old 'Spielbank' casino - the oldest of its type in Germany. With French chateau-style salons rooms named after historical figures such as Madame Pompadour and Louis XV's mistress, the quirky casino provides visitors with a very unique gaming experience.

Las Vegas, United States: With over 1700 licensed casinos in operation, Las Vegas offers the ultimate package for travellers who fancy a flutter. A visit to the famous 'Strip' is a must for any player, whether they're looking for a spin on the roulette table or a game of blackjack - this city has it all. The iconic Caesar's Palace hotel and casino offers 129,000 square feet of casino space plus an endless smorgasbord of entertainment, shopping and fine dining options, including Cleopatra's barge, a floating lounge perfect for a relaxing drink after a jam-packed night on the casino floor.

Manila, The Philippines: With a favourable exchange rate, Manila provides great value for Aussies wanting to live the high-life overseas. The city offers a range of shopping and entertainment options, along with a world-class casino at the Hyatt Hotel. Spread across three levels, the sparkling casino offers the newest in gaming facilities for both hotel guests and visitors, and is just a short distance from Manila's tourist hub.

Sun City, South Africa: Known as 'Africa's Kingdom of Pleasure,' this luxury resort and casino complex, just two hours from Johannesburg, boasts two large casinos, two 18-hole golf courses and a wildlife reserve. At the extravagant yet picturesque Palace of the Lost City, guests are treated to stunning valley views from the guestrooms, along with exclusive access to the Grand Pool. The nearby Sun City Casino is the entertainment Mecca of the resort, featuring a myriad of gaming options as well as an indoor jungle of native foliage and water fountains.

Atlantic City, United States: Regarded as the US's 'Las Vegas of the East', Atlantic City in New Jersey is renowned for its gambling, shopping and fine dining. Towering above the banks of the Atlantic Ocean, the Trump Taj Mahal casino is an icon of the city, with an on-site shopping district and an abundance of restaurants and bars. The 157,000 square-foot casino is also hard to miss, with 3,500 slot machines and 200 table games. Unveiled in 1990 by a number of celebrities, including the late Michael Jackson, the casino is the second-largest in Atlantic City and well worth a visit.

Genting Highlands, Malaysia: Nestled on the Titiwangsa mountain range, just an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur and 6,000 feet above sea level, the Resorts World Genting offers 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside. This spectacular resort has first-class accommodation, dining and entertainment, while avoiding the hustle and bustle of a capital city. The on-site casino, which covers 200,000 square feet, is Malaysia's sole gaming venue and is divided into separate themed areas, such as Hollywood and Monte Carlo, for the ultimate gambling experience.

Online Casinos:

PartyCasino.com : The world's leading online casino brand and part of Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment. Play for free or play for money at PartyCasino.com New players get up to $3000 sign up bonus via Media Man.

VirginCasino.com : Virgin Casino is part of Virgin Games. The parent company is Virgin Enterprises Limited, the creation of the world's most famous and celebrated entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson. Unfortunately the casino does not accept players from many countries due to what is known in legal circles as "grey areas". Most European players can play, but no Americans, Canadians, Australians or New Zealanders.

Captain Cooks Casino : Was once a very popular online casino with Australians and New Zealanders, however we understand these days they can only accept players from a few regions such as Europe, South Africa, Canada and South America.

PKR : Once only a 2D online poker room, they are now more 3D and offer online poker and a good range of online casino games, including classics, Marvel slots and table games.

The Great Gatsby: Leonardo DiCaprio and crew to shoot at Manly; Sydney Northern Beaches, by Greg Tingle - 13th November 2011

Profiles

The Great Gatsby Baz Luhrmann Leonardo DiCaprio Tobey Maguire Hollywood Sydney United States News Financial News Casino News Poker News Entertainment News

Tobey Maguire Leonardo DiCaprio

The fun and excitement of playing 'Spot A Gatsby' continues, with Manly on the Northern Beaches of Sydney now being the fertile ground.

Celebrated (and over budget) Australian director Baz Luhrmann has somehow recreated the extravagant Buchanan mansion from The Great Gatsby in Manly, on Sydney's Northern Beaches.

Luhrmann was able to snatch the International College of Management after considerable negotiations. It's currently being transformed into a 1920s mansion like the one you would find in Long Island, New York, in the USA circa 1920.

We understand Baz will shoot external scenes on location while the indoor shots of the Gatsby mansion are being done with the magic and Hollywood - Aussie tricks at Fox Studios, Moore Park.

A large water fountain has been constructed on site to add to authenticity.

The site is where Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban got married in 2006, and they have been the odds and are still married, so hopefully that's a good omen for Gatsby cast and crew.

Leonardo DiCaprio is expected to sneak back to Australia via lear jet we hear to film scenes on location at the new Manly location within a week, and as soon as within the next 48 hours.

The Balmain region locals might be having a bit of Leo withdraw symptoms by now. The Rozelle film site was the former abandoned White Bay Power Station.

Budget is in the region of $120 million, but we heard its almost certain to go over budget.

F. Scott Fitzgerald's, writer of the famous novel would be proud.

Gatsby is expected to open by Christmas next year, but in the meantime we're enjoying seeing Leo and friends do their thing close up.

Disney Acquires Sony's Merchandising Participation For The Amazing Spider-Man

Marvel Entertainment Disney The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Thor The Incredible Hulk Fantastic Four Captain America Iron-Man Iron-Man 2 Iron-Man 3 The Avengers Stan Lee Hollywood Movies

"Marvel's Thor and Captain America were among the top 10 non-sequel releases of the year and we are pleased with the performance of both films and the true benefits of our Marvel acquisition should be quite visible in 2012. First, in May, Thor and Captain America will join Iron Man, The Hulk and Black Widow in Marvel's The Avengers, the first Marvel film to be marketed and distributed by Disney. The Avengers shows great promise with a record 10 million downloads on iTunes when the trailer debuted, and it is well on its way to being our next great franchise. Then in July, Sony Pictures will release The Amazing Spiderman. We're excited about the film and expect it will drive significant benefits for Spiderman consumer products."

Division is expected to benefit next year from the release of "The Avengers" and Sony's "The Amazing Spider-Man." Disney recently brokered a new deal with the studio that enables the Mouse House to collect most of the coin from Spider-Man movie products.

"To that end, we recently completed a transaction with Sony Pictures to simplify our relationship. And then in the deal, we purchased Sony Pictures' participation in Spiderman merchandising, while at the same time, Sony Pictures purchased from us our participation in Spiderman films. This transaction will allow us to control and fully benefit from all Spiderman merchandising activity, while Sony will continue to produce and distribute Spiderman films. We won't be specific about the economics of this 2-way transaction, but we expect it will drive attractive returns for Disney."

Marvel Entertainment and Marvel Entertainment movies on fire in Hollywood...

Who doesn't like a good superhero movie (or game) from our friends at Marvel Entertainment? That's what we thought.

You have to hand it to Marvel Entertainment and their movie production partners - they have been on a roll for the past few years.

Thor was awesome, so was Iron-Man 1 and Iron-Man 2, Captain America: The First Avenger - fantastic, and upcoming The Avengers may prove to be Marvel's best flick ever.

The Avengers, coming in May we understand, has signed Robert Downey Jr and its directed by Joss Whedon, so that's an awesome start.

Marvel president of production Kevin Feige recently went on record with Entertainment Weekly that Adventures of Tintin co-writer Edgar Wright "developed an excellent draft recently" for the movie. Nathan Fillion is tipped to play Henry Pym/Ant-Man.

Iron Man 3, opening in the US May 2013, re-teams Downey with Shane Black (Lethal Weapon). The writer-director, who launched Downey’s comeback in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, has a gift for creating funny as stuff.

Thor 2 is also in the works, although without Shakespearean-actor-turned-action-director Kenneth Branagh at the helm. It's understood that Patty Jenkins, who helped propel Charlize Theron to an Oscar with Monster, will direct The Nine Worlds sequel.

Media Man readers, what's you're thoughts on the upcoming Marvel Entertainment movies? What Marvel Entertainment games have you played, or would like to play? Should Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment, Virgin Games, or another gaming brand get the next batch of Marvel Entertainment slot games?

The coming year sure looks to be as great for Marvel fans as the previous. As Marvel living legend Stan Lee would say, Excelsior!
