King Solomons Online Casino Group is the new owner of Tony Friedman’s Windows Online Casino Group, according to press releases from both companies. The Windows Casino, Magic Oasis Online Casino, Gold Key and Portofino Casino will join existing Solomons products Geisha Lounge Online Casino, Grand Aces Online Casino and King Solomons Online Casino.

Customers at Tony Friedman’s Windows Online Casino Group will be hoping its purchase by King Solomons will lead to a clean-up. Several allegations of unfair play and unscrupulous business practice at some of the group’s sites have been reported by players to industry watchdog eCOGRA. The group has also been branded with “rogue status” at some popular internet gaming portals.

One of the most blatant acts committed by the group occurred at Magic Gold Casino, which displayed eCOGRA’s Seal of Approval on its site despite the fact that it had never qualified for such an award. Rumors of the site’s habit of tampering with payout percentages have also surfaced in recent times.

Despite the less than savory reputation of its new acquisition, King Solomons has a distinguished reputation among online casino fans. First established in 1998, the group now owns and operates over ten different online casino businesses. In addition, multiplayer poker and bingo sites have also been purchased in recent years. According to Keren Fuchs, marketing manager for King Solomons Online Casino Group, its new acquisitions are currently being placed under the group’s existing management policies to adhere to the company’s general standards.
