(PRESS RELEASE) -- Online Gambling Insider has established a reputation for honest and reliable online gambling information and access to some of the best online casino deals. The portal has announced their prestigious online gambling awards for 2008. "Despite some setbacks for the industry in the US, the industry is getting stronger with the entry of some new operators and the continued performance of well known brands," says Ryan D, the portal's founder and Editor in Chief. "Choosing our Online Casino Award winners is a daunting task each year, but we take into account player feedback and our own interactions with each gambling site we promote over the course of the year to come up with our list of top performers."

Online Gambling Insider's most prestigious award, Online Casino of 2008, goes to the Vegas Technology powered VIP Slots Casino, operated by the English Harbour Group, a veteran of the industry.

"The competition was tough, but VIP Slots Casino got its nose in front of a host of celebrated casinos as it offers a very complete online casino gambling experience. The lucrative promotions, unique loyalty reward program and the backing and support of one of the longest operating groups in online gambling made this casino stand out."
