Thanks for the update. Please let us all know when the casino is up to full speed.

I just surfed e-vegasgaming.com at 10:53 p.m. EST and it's now 11:00 p.m. EST. The darn main page hasn't even finished loading yet and I'm on a Shaw@Home cable modem. E-Vegas's web site is still too slow to attract any significant number of gamblers.

To prove my point, here's a traceroute from Western Canada to their web site in Costa Rica:

Let's compare it to cyberthrill.com, another Canadian online casino operating in Jamaica:

Note that it takes a magnitude longer to reach e-vegasgaming.com (or rather, e-casinogaming.com). And hey, Cyberthrill gives you $30 free in chips when you sign up. E-Vegas needs to get with the program or we'll all be deciding whether to average down when the price reaches $0.10 or sell at significant losses.
