The giant intenet service provider has partnered with the Game Show Network to launch a “blackjack hub” in April 2006, offering free playing of blackjack, tips from the pros, and, during GSN\’s World Series of Blackjack TV show in June, exclusive behind-the-scenes video.

“Casino games such as blackjack and poker have become wildly popular among mainstream audiences and that trend is reflected on AOL Games,” said Ralph Rivera, Vice President and General Manager of AOL Games.

AOL recently partnered with Harrah\’s Entertainment to create an AOL.com World Series of Poker site featuring free poker games.

In separate news, 888.com is to launch a new creative look for 2006 intended to reflect the \’personality of the brand\’. A new tagline proclaims the online casino and poker operator as the ‘Home of Online Gambling’.

Elsewhere, Las Vegas From Home.com Entertainment\’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Action Poker Gaming, will launch a Parlay Entertainment-powered online bingo network in Q1 2006. APG will also launch a Parlay-powered internet casino in Q2 2006.
