The Best Of Online Gambling
The 2014 awards for top online gambling sites
by J. Phillip Vogel
The year is at an end, and just when you thought we were finished with the awards, we had one more round to go before 2014 comes to a close: The Best Of Online Gambling.
While it’s a far cry from the BOG awards of years ago, when hundreds of gaming sites dominated the web, empires were built, and gamblers across the country flocked to the Net, the recent—if fledgling—rebirth of this gaming phoenix still warrants notice. Which is why these topics were included in the Best Of Gaming voting this year. Congratulations to the winners!

GARDEN STATE WOMAN WINS $1.3 MILLION
On November 6, a woman from Morris County, NJ won the state’s largest Internet gambling jackpot, a $1.3 million payout from an online slots game. Cathy R. was playing the “Millionaire Genie” game on Harrahscasino.com on Nov. 6 when the genie on her computer screen broke open the chains on a treasure chest and a box popped up, announcing she had won a jackpot of more than $1.3 million.
The 31-year-old says she has been playing sporadically since February, usually about $20 or $30 at a time. Her family plans to use the money to pay off their mortgage, set up a college fund for their son, and go on a winter vacation. The jackpot came just before the anniversary of Internet gambling in New Jersey, one of three states where it’s legal.
