BRUSSELS (Reuters) – A bill to end a ban imposed last year on online gambling in the United States will be presented within two weeks but will likely need time to garner support, U.S. Rep. Barney Frank said on Thursday.
Internet gambling in the United States was effectively banned last October when President George W. Bush signed legislation outlawing gaming financial transactions.
“I want to get it undone,” Frank told reporters.
Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, is chair of the House Financial Services Committee. The ban irked some in the European Union which is home to online gambling firms that were forced to withdraw from the United States.
The bloc’s internal market chief Charlie McCreevy has hinted he may challenge the ban at the World Trade Organisation.
Last month the WTO said the ban violated international trade law as it still allowed online bets for horse racing.
Big Time Gaming has proven a true innovator revitalizing the concept of fruit slots. Their latest online game comes with an interesting layout and a grid that is filled with large and small symbols.

Betting options and bonus features

The luckiest players will be able to take part in the bonus round of the game, but first, they will need to find a valuable scratch card hidden in one of the sectors to carry them there. The game offers a decent RTP of 96.
A lucky German punter, who deposited €150 into his account at Frank Casino, raised €255.000 after playing one of his favorite slot machines, Jammin Jars created by Push Gaming.
The winner signed up at Frank Casino in August on the recommendation of the casino streamer. He told the casino team that this is not his first big win as he has won large sums with other casino providers in the past. With money from previous successes, he bought an apartment.
