About
Fortune Junction Flash Online
Casino is one of two Flash-dedicated online casinos owned and operated by
the Grand Privé group of gaming sites. Using the technology of Microgaming
Software, Fortune Junction delivers a high-grade package of games and services
that would come with any of the best downloadable software packages. In terms of
reputation, Grand Privé is widely considered to have one of the best track
records amongst their returning players. All Grand Privé gaming sites, including
Fortune Junction, are licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and have been
approved by the industry's leader in fair gaming standards and regulation -
eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance. Steady regulation and
software monitoring from independent third parties (including payout percentage
verification by Price Waterhouse Coopers) as well as strong in-house ethical
standards (Fortune Junction is a member of the Interactive Gaming Council),
serve to create the most fair, secure and professional online gambling
environment on the Web.

Casino Software
The software platform at Fortune Junction is Flash-dedicated,
meaning that it cannot be downloaded or installed from a CD. Player's will need
to have Active X Controls installed on their personal computer, which if needed,
the player will be prompted on their first attempt to access the Flash casino.
Employing the same 32-bit, 3D computer animated graphics that are used on the
most technologically advanced downloadable platforms, the virtual experience at
Fortune Junction is highly realistic. Access can only be obtained directly from
FortuneJunction.com and clicking the Instant Flash Casino icon. Referring
to the platform as "Instant" is no exaggeration (which is often the case at
other Flash online casinos). Depending on one's internet connection speed,
player's can be gambling in ten seconds. Player's are prompted to open either a
Practice Account (unlimited free gambling with no obligation to deposit money),
or a Real Account, at which time they will be directed to a secure screen to set
up available banking options with the online cashier.
While logged into the
software platform, player's have the same options they would through
downloadable software, including game rules, support, payout percentage reports,
Comp Loyalty Manager, and the PlayCheck/CashCheck systems, which are software
features developed by Microgaming that allow player's to view their financial
transaction histories and detailed game results. The software is also programmed
with timeout and disconnection protection, meaning that if a player is
disconnected while in the middle of a bet, the software will (for the majority
of instances) remember the precise point at where the disconnection took place
and continue the hand as if it was never interrupted at the time of the player's
next login. For hands that cannot be continued after a timeout, the software
will reset any wagers that were made at the time of the disconnection.

Bonuses & Promotions
Fortune Junction Casino offers players Loyalty Comp points which can be redeemed at any Grand Privé
online casino. The earnings ratio meets the highest standard imposed by other
gaming sites, at a ratio of 1 point for every $10 wagered, and 1,000 points
corresponding to $10 in free chips. Although Grand Prive offers the innovative
eZBonus, Fortune Junction currently does not offer new
player sign-up bonuses.

Games & Payouts
Being a Flash
Online Casino, the game
selection at Fortune Junction is going to naturally be smaller than downloadable
gaming suites. However, what makes Fortune Junction a top-of-the-line Flash
casino also accounts for where their name derives. The phrase "Fortune Junction"
designates a "meeting of large sums of money". In other words, Fortune Junction
is host for several progressive jackpots. In fact, there are fourteen different Microgaming-powered progressive jackpots which real-money account holders can
gamble for. With jackpot winnings always in the thousands and hundreds of
thousands, not to mention frequently hitting over the $1 million mark, players
will have substantial opportunity to share a portion of the winnings.
Other
games include a large selection of everything one would find in a land-based
casino, including all the table games, video slots, video pokers, and reel slot
machines, which offer a variety of paylines, reels, and betting stakes. The
Fortune Junction Website offers preview screen shots of some of their games,
however, we suggest that player's who are seriously interested in opening an
account with the casino to simply access the Flash platform itself and have a
free, unlimited go playing all of the games. Just keep in mind that in order to
play the progressive games, player's need to open a real money account being
that the jackpot totals are updated in real time. Nevertheless, the playing
screen and gaming rules for all the progressive games can be accessed.
As
mentioned before, payout percentage reports can be viewed for the prior month
either from the homepage via the "Independent Auditors" logo, or in the casino
lobby while logged into the software. Price Waterhouse Coopers confirms all
payouts, which at the time of this review, returned an overall average for all
games of 97.2%. Random Number Generator reports can also be viewed for Blackjack
and Roulette, confirming that all game results are entirely random and in
conformity with fair odds and payouts.

Online Cashier
In terms of security, nothing is taken for granted at Fortune Junction. While
all gaming is done through Flash technology, financial transactions are
processed via standard 128-bit encryption - the same security protocols that the
world's leading financial institutions use. Billing and payment processing is
handled through the Grand Privé affiliate, Chericko Holdings B.V. which is
located in Amsterdam. Chericko B.V. has likewise established a highly credible
reputation within the online casino and gaming industry, having securely
processed billions in online transactions. In regards to deposit and withdrawal
options, Chericko facilitates several methods, including Click2Pay, Citadel,
FirePay, Neteller, UseMyBank, InstaDebit, UKash, PaySpark and EcoCard. Players
are guided every step of the way on how to set up a particular
deposit/withdrawal method with the cashier, including instructions on how to
fund and open a personal eWallet, which can, in turn, be used to fund one's
personal casino account, as well as receive withdrawals (depending on the
particular method used) from the casino cashier.

Awards
Too bad there are no Online Awards for Best Dedicated-Flash Casino, although
Microgaming has received player poll awards for Best Casino Software Platform.
Progressive jackpots, game selection, banking options and customer support
services have consistently managed to stand out at Fortune Junction and helped
