Elvis Is In The Building

Gambling ain't always about the money. Well, okay - it IS always about the money, but it's nice to have a bit of fun at the same time.

There's plenty of fun and plenty of profit to be had with Rock The Boat which is an Elvis-themed three reel, one payline and two coin Online Slot Game. This is an entertaining Casino Game with decent payouts and is great fun to play.

We've reviewed Playboy Casino and we're very pleased to report that it has been given the maximum 5-star rating, making this only the fifth casino to score to top marks. We're notoriously fussy and a casino has to do bloody well to get 5 stars out of us. Congratulations go to Playboy Casino.

The Fame Factor

Yesterday, we briefly touched on the latest X Factor Betting and it got us thinking about Fame Academy which, as you may or may not remember, was also a TV talent/singing show.

Fame Academy only ran for two series on the BBC and was seen by some at the time as a poor effort by the Beeb. They were accused of copying ITV's Pop Idol and Popstars formats. The accusation was probably a fair one to some extent, After all, the BBC had seen the format work well on other channels and so knocked out their own version. However, what's apparent now, looking back, is that Fame Academy was actually bloody good and a far better test of actual talent than X Factor has achieved so far.

Given that Fame Academy was co-produced by an Endemol company, it perhaps wasn't surprising that the Fame Academy 'housemates' all lived in the same house and coverage of them was broadcast around-the-clock, Big Brother style. This was great and gave viewers a real insight into the real level of 'talent' being developed.

Fame Academy was much more than just a singing competition which is pretty much all X Factor adds up to. To be fair to X Factor, it doesn't really pretend to be anything more than a glitzed-up karaoke competition. Fame Academy did so much more. It was a song-writing, singing and performing competition and some of the talent seen on the show was seriously impressive. Sinead Quinn immediately springs to mind.

So bring back Fame Academy, BBC!
