It is not every day that an online slots game’s progressive jackpot reaches the £1 million mark. But one online slots game has.

It seems that a lot of action is happening at Virgin Games. First they released the War of the Worlds online slots game from Ash Gaming. And now they are offering a special promotion to celebrate one of their online slots games surpassing the £1 million mark.

That online slots game is called Millionaire’s Club.

From now until August 1st players who wager £100 are eligible to win one of three Live Like a Millionaire prizes:

1. Millionaire Sports Star includes a Ferrari driving session and a home entertainment system.

2. Business Tycoon allows the winner to have a luxury yacht experience along with a new set of golf clubs or a flight anywhere in Europe.

3. International Party Girl Heiress (what a title) gives the winner a VIP stay in London, a guest list to a top London night club and a diamond necklace.

Only three players will win one of these three prizes. To enter all an online slots player needs to do is enter the code that corresponds with the prize they would want and wager at least £100. That is it.

On top of the Live Like a Millionaire online slots promotion, Virgin Games is also going to be handing out prize money the day that the £1 million plus jackpot finally drops.

Each online slots player who has wagered £10 on the day that the jackpot finally drops will receive part of the £1,000 that Virgin is giving away. On top of that Virgin is adding £100 to the total giveaway amount each day until the jackpot finally drops.

Cleary Virgin Games knows how to celebrate when an online slots game reaches a progressive high.

The Real Time Gaming and Egyptian themed online casino, Slots Oasis, is breaking out a nice weekend slots bonus. And what online slots player worth her credits does not like a bonus? Extra credits mean extra to play with, and that means more opportunities to win.

In thinking about it, you could say that in a way taking advantage of a slots bonus increases your chances of winning at online slots, if only because you have more credits to play with. So it is not only about a little extra free money, it is about increasing your chances of winning.

So how much is a little free money?

The weekend bonus that is being offered to online slots players is a 150% match deposit bonus that is worth up to $750. When you think about the weekend bonuses offered by online casinos, this one is definitely up there.

This is what is known as a Play Bonus. This means that players cannot withdraw any of the bonus money. Only withdraws on money won from wagering with the bonus amount can happen.

So let’s say that you receive the full $750 bonus. You would not be able to withdraw any of that $750. Online slots players use this bonus to play with. So whatever you win with the $750 is yours. But the $750 does not leave the bonus portion of your player account.

Players will find that this slots bonus can only be used five times. Not five times in one weekend, but five times in their time playing at Slot Oasis.

Each type of deposit method has its own redemption code for this bonus so make sure you use the redemption code that matches your method of deposit. And players who use UseMyWallet or eWalletXpress receive an extra 25% bonus. Online slots players, you have to visit the cashier and turn in the redemption code after you make your deposit and before you make any wagers.

Credit cards/gift cards: CYCLING4.1, CYCLING4.2, CYCLING4.3, CYCLING4.4, CYCLING4.5

UseMyWallet: CYCLINGUW4.1, CYCLINGUW4.2, CYCLINGUW4.3, CYCLINGUW4.4, CYCLINGUW4.5

eWalletXpress: CYCLINGEX4.1, CYCLINGEX4.2, CYCLINGEX4.3, CYCLINGEX4.4, CYCLINGEX4.5

In the online casino industry it is not unusual for one parent company to own a few online casinos. They will generally have different names, but be owned, licensed and powered by the same software company.

Online Vegas and Go Casino are two such online casinos. Both are owned by the Hambledon New Venture group and are licensed in Curacao.

Recently Online Vegas and Go Casino got a little sister online casino: Grand Vegas.

I say little sister because Grand Vegas is still new, with only just over one hundred games. Its software is only available in a download format right now.

Despite being a new online casino, online slots players who enjoy playing the games at sister casinos will find their favorite Vegas Technology online slots games at Grand Vegas too.

Like Online Vegas and Go Casino, Grand Vegas is open to US players and offers a variety of deposit options: VISA, American Express, Neteller, MoneyBookers, and money transfers.

There is, of course, a Welcome Bonus for new players. And right now almost everyone at this new online casino is new. On a new player’s first deposit, they are eligible to receive a 100% match bonus worth up to $555.

But that is not the end of the bonuses available for online slots players. There are weekly bonuses on Tuesdays and Fridays. Online slots players have two options to choose from on each day.

Tuesday:
- 50% deposit bonus ($25 minimum, $1,000 maximum)
Or
- 20% cash back on all losses on that day

Friday:
- 75% deposit bonus ($25 minimum, $1,000 maximum)
Or
- 25% cash back on all losses on that day

Between the Welcome Bonus and the weekly bonuses, Grand Vegas has a good start to offering the kind of online gambling entertainment that her big sister online casinos are known for. Hopefully Grand Vegas will grow to the size of Online Vegas and Go Casino.

Remember that movie with Tom Cruise with the really big machines that made terrible noises while moving on to destroy everyone and everything?

War of the Worlds is now in an online slots game form and it is making its way to the online casino Virgin Games courtesy of ash Gaming . As of today the new online slots game will now be available for play.

But do not look for Tom Cruise’s face on the reels. This online slots game of War of the Worlds is based on the musical version of the story, which was taken from Jeff Wayne’s original story.

Did you get that? Jeff Wayne’s story in its musical form. No Tom Cruise. Sorry, ladies.

The War of the Worlds online slots game is a little bit more than the ordinary online slots game. True, it does have the standard five reels. But it also has one hundred (100) paylines to play on, and each reel is stacked with four symbols rather than the regular three. But then we are talking some seriously tall robots here.

Like a good online slots game, the good people at Ash Gaming have given this one a bonus game too. In this bonus game players are set to the task of killing the great Machines. The more a slots player damages or kills, the greater the bonus game prize.

The Wilds in this online slots game also talk to each other. Well, they will react together when more than one shows up on the reels—and remember you have four symbols per each of the five reels, so there is plenty of room for Wilds. When the react the Wilds can fill a reel creating even more winning opportunities.

Warren Eloff, who is the Product Manager at Virgin Games, had this to say about the newest online slots game in their lineup:

“The War of the Worlds is such an iconic yet timeless title that we believe it will be an instant hit with our customers. WE have found in the past that well known titles pick up a very quick following, and I think the War of the Worlds slot will be no exception.”

Bonuses. Every online slots player looks for them. But the secret is not in just looking at an online casino’s Welcome Bonus—that might only work for your first handful of deposits. Smart online slots players want to find online casinos that will give them bonuses regularly.

Cherry Red would be one of these online casinos.

Cherry Red is powered by Real Time Gaming, who is known for their spectacular graphics in their online slots games. US players are welcomed at Cherry Red.

When an online slots player first signs up at Cherry Red, he is welcomed with a bonus worth $7,777. This is a matched deposit bonus that is spread out over a player’s—not fist couple of deposits—but spread over their first ten deposits.

But the slots bonuses do not end there.

Cherry Red offers players weekly bonuses for playing with them. Each player receives ten coupons worth $5,000 to use on their deposits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The ten weekly coupons can be used with all of the deposit methods: credit card, UseMyWallet, or eWalletXpress.

But that only covers the week, what about the weekends?

Cherry Red has slots bonuses for the weekends too. Deposits by online slots players receive a 150% match deposit bonus worth up to $750. There are five coupon codes for the weekend bonus for each deposit method.

And on a side note, online slots players who use UseMyWallet or eWalletXpress receive an extra 25% bonus. Just an FYI for you.

These are not spectacular, mind dazzling bonuses for online slots players, but they are consistent and constant. Online slots players at Cherry Red know that there is always a deposit bonus coming up, so there is no glum feeling when your welcome bonus runs out.

Keep in mind the regular bonuses for online slots players when you are out looking for an online casino.

Online slots players like nothing more than a slots bonus for playing at an online casino. This is what makes Welcome Bonuses so appealing to online slots players. But being an online slots player aside, who does not like free money?

Not too long ago I wrote about a newer online slots game called Little Devil. This interesting little five reel, twenty payline slots game featured a bonus game that was not triggered by the ordinary means of spinning the reels until the right symbols landed in the right number. No, Little Devil’s bonus game is triggered by a timer that begins counting down as soon as the reels are set to spinning.

The countdown, naturally, is 666 seconds.

This hot little gem of an online slots game has its home at Sky Vegas. And right now Sky Vegas is running a special new online slots bonus to new players.

This bonus does not even require a deposit. All a new player need do is sign up. It is that easy to put yourself in the running for this online slots bonus.

Upon creating a new player account, one credit is placed in the player’s brand new playing account. Within 72 hours of creating a new player account, that player stands the chance of randomly being selected to receive one of two bonuses.

The bonuses are not guaranteed as it is a random drawing. But new online slots players to Sky Vegas might receive either 50 credits or 150 credits at random in their first 72 hours.

That is the beauty of this bonus for new online slots players. It is not the traditional ‘player makes a deposit and the online casino matches it’ type of bonus.

Between this no deposit new player bonus, the Little Devil online slots game and other online casino games, it appears that Sky Vegas is an online casino for players are looking for something a little out of the ordinary.

Seems like so many things now have an ‘i’ at the front of their names: iPad, iPhone, iPod. And for the most part people believe that the magic ‘i’ makes it all worthwhile—that there is some quality to these iProducts that make them better.

The same iPhenomenon is happening is happening in the world of online slots too.

Watch out online slots players, the iStorm is here!

But iCraze that is showing up in the world of online casinos is not a bad thing at all. In this instance the magic ‘i’ does mean something better.

Traditionally in a video online slots game the player plays the same game over and over, perhaps travelling to a second screen for a bonus game, and then heading back over to the same old game.

In an iSlot players can be transported to Greece to Alaska to the Caribbean. No joke. The name of that iSlot is Baby Boomers Cash Cruise.

In that particular game players start out in the Travel Agency. There they stay until they trigger a bonus game, in which they determine their vacation destination. Once the vacation destination is determined the player is then whisked off to play in a new game with new symbols and new bonus features.

That is the beauty of the iSlot in the world of online slots games—the game does not stay the same. Many iSlots have stages to play through.

As the Reels Turn is a good example of this. In that iSlot players play one screen until they trigger a bonus game that then sends them to the next scene in the ‘episode.’ By the time the player has played all the way through the game, he has reached the climax and end of a TV episode played out on a slots game.

Another type of iSlot has players taking an active role in the game which affects the amount won.

Heavyweight Gold has online slots players picking up their boxing gloves to battle one of three opponents. Players must succeed in beating their opponent in order to win the full bonus game amount. And each opponent has a different fighting style. Winning the boxing match is not guaranteed so play hard!

Now you take those sorts of iSlots and compare them to a traditional video online slots game. In those players spin the reels, choose a door to look behind in the bonus game and then it is back to the original reels.

There seems to be much more excitement and player involvement in the new iSlots.

Right now Rival Gaming is the online software developer who is producing the iSlots. Thankfully many online casinos that are powered by Rival offer free play on some of their iSlots allowing those who are new to the iSlots iCraze try this type of online slots game out.

In living up to its name, Party Casino is, in essence, having a party to celebrate the release of their newest online slots game.

The latest addition to this online casino’s lineup is called Palladium. Party Casino has made a whole VIP Lounge for this new jewel in their lineup which they have titled their Palladium Lounge. It is a smaller part of their larger VIP club.

And that is who this party is open to.

With Palladium opening this week, it will only be open for their VIP members. The initial ‘party’ will run through July 15th through July 31st, and there are five prizes to be one by five lucky VIP members.

Those five prizes are five vacation packages worth $5,000 apiece. Each of the five winners at the end of the launch party will win $5,000 towards a vacation destination of their choice. The $5,000 breaks down into $2,000 to go towards the cost of airfare, $1,500 to cover hotel accommodations, and the remaining $1,500 will be for spending money at the chosen vacation spot.

All the VIP members at Party Casino need to do is log in and play Palladium. Since this new online slots game is only open to VIP members there is no need for the online casino to charge an entry fee or find another way to separate VIP members from those who are not VIP members.

Once a VIP begins playing the new online slots game he or she will begin to accumulate points. Party Casino is keeping a leader board so that players can track their progress against others. At the end of the promotion the top five players will be awarded one of the $5,000 vacation packages.

It is not uncommon for online casinos to run such promotions when they launch a special new online slots game. Several Microgaming online casinos did so when Thunderstruck II was launched.

For those who are interested players, membership in Party Casino’s VIP club is by invitation only to online slots players who have earned 9,000 points in a calendar quarter.

With a name like Crazy Slots insane offers should come as no surprise. And Crazy Slots is pulling out the stops to welcome new players to their online casino. Many online casinos offer new players less than $1,000 in deposit match bonuses. Crazy Slots, in living up to their name, is offering new players $12,500.

The online casino industry is growing at a rapid rate. This could be due to convenience or gaming technology. Whatever the reason, online slots players are able to take advantage of what is becoming a highly competitive market.

New online slots players at Crazy Slots are able to claim the Welcome Bonus being offered: $12,500.

This Welcome Bonus is spread out over the player’s first fifteen (15) deposits, each deposit with its own match. The breakdown looks like this:

1st deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
2nd deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
3rd deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
4th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
5th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
6th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
7th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
8th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777

14th deposit: 100% match worth up to $1,250
15th deposit: 100% match worth up to $1,250

Yes, those last two are correct. A new player’s 14th and 15th deposits could be worth up to $1,250.

But fifteen matched deposit bonuses are not the only rewards for joining Crazy Slots. New players also receive four free entries into tournaments. Those can be used to take part in online slots tournaments at Crazy Slots.

Crazy Slots is a Vegas Technology powered online casino that accepts US players. They run online slots tournaments regularly, including Frugal Friday tournaments, Red Eye tournaments and even $0.25 tournaments Monday through Thursday.

Over that last year or so those who play slot machines have been saying that there are fewer and fewer jackpots being paid out to players. In turn some players believe that casinos have changed the payout percentage of their slot machines.

It is not true.

Here is the deal. When a slot machine is put together in the factory the chip that is programmed with that machine’s payout percentage is installed. This chip is in place to control the payouts of that slot machine. Once it is installed the payout percentage is a done deal.

The only way a casino could change the payout percentage of one of their slot machines is to first submit a sheaf of paperwork to the Casino Control Commission requesting to change the payout percentage of a slot machine. This sheaf of paperwork would have to be submitted for each machine the casino wished to change.

If the request is approved the casino then has to purchase a new payout percentage chip and then pay for the old chip to be removed and the new chip to be installed in the slot machine. None of which is cheap.

What does all of this mean to you, slot machine player? It means that the casino does not just flip a switch to change the payout of a slot machine. It is a very detailed and time consuming process.

So why do there seem to be fewer jackpots?

It does not have anything to do with the casinos actually. But it does have to do with the economy.

People are making fewer trips to casinos. Some because of a lack of funds and others because they are choosing to play online casino games. With fewer people in the casinos and fewer people playing on slot machines, there are now fewer jackpots being paid out.

It simply comes down to that. Less people playing slot machines means less opportunities for a jackpot on a slot machine to be triggered, which means less actual jackpots being won from slot machines.
