Microgaming Network has pulled the plug on U.S. gamblers for casino play . The newsletter that some of the online casinos sent out says that most of the casinos will continue to let current members to play the casinos, but they will no longer accept new U.S. casino players . That really narrows the field down to what choices the American online gambler has.

There is a rumor going round that Doyles Room just might be moving to Merge Gaming Network so they can retain their US casino player base.  Nothing has been confirmed on this yet though from Doyles or Merge . Merge Gaming already has two of our favourite rooms to play at . For rakeback there's Carbon Poker or for bonus offers there's PDC Poker , so I'm not too certian I want to see them go with Merge. However if they do decide to make that move Doyles Room will be the biggest name on the entire network, and I truly don't think Merge Gaming will ever stop offering U.S. friendly poker AND casino rooms.

While I'm here I also want to remind folk that Nov. 11th is Veterans Day . You can view more on that , as well as the weekly forum news by clicking HOPB News .
