Slots Hero

As you now know Casino Bodog is now Casino Bovada. This is very exciting news considering it is still the same awesome place to play casino games, but just with a newer site and better accommodations. They now have a license from the UK Gambling Commission and are on their way to becoming one of the most popular online casinos in the world.

One of my favourite things to do at Casino Bovada is play slots. There are over 60 different games to choose from, as well as 60 other specialty table games. Horse and sport betting is also available at this site. If you are worried that your login information has been lost, don’t be. Everything has been transferred over and the site will pick up right where Bodog left off.

Bovada actually operates with its own software so they have the most flexibility, and does not have to rely on a third party vendor. Slots choices range from 3-Reel to 20-Reel, and also plenty of progressives and traditional machines. There is quite literally a game for everyone.

One of their specialties is the great bonuses and promotions. They will match your first chip purchase up to $500. There are also bonuses throughout the week and specific daily promotions.

If you are looking to play slots at a casino online then look no further than Casino Bovada. Not only is it a great online casino, but they have 24/7 support just in case you have any problems, which you most likely won’t.

Mega Moolah is one of the biggest online slots game successes to come out of Microgaming. Since the release of the original online slots game, it has had three more themed variations of it created to keep the popularity going.

Now Mega Moolah is to have its own website. Yes, an operator has launched a website that is just for Mega Moolah and no other online slots games. The site, which is MegaMoolah.co.uk, is now live following its six month soft launch. When the site opened it gave the message: “Mega Moolah is something special! Not only does it provide the biggest jackpots in online casino history, it was also the first four tiered progressive casino slot developed by Microgaming.”

The Mega Moolah site is completely dedicated to that online slots game. Currently the site is only in a flash format and only offers the African safari themed Mega Moolah. Animals have been added to guide players through this online slots game’s features and history. There is a monkey who will list the biggest jackpot winners. The giraffe will give players information on actually playing this version of Mega Moolah. The antelope will take players to a link to download the game and the elephant will help guide players to playing it on their mobile devices.

Even though the site is separate on its own from an online casino, it still is a progressive online slots game. Every time the jackpot is won it will reset to a $1,000,000. The Mega Moolah site does offer a bonus to those who download the game’s software. A first deposit it can receive up to £200 with a 100% bonus, and the second bonus can receive up £300 from another 100% bonus.

Players in the online casino and online slots realm have noticed that there is a new up and coming online casino: Rome Casino. Rome Casino is not powered by any of the usual software developers. Instead they are owned and powered by Top Game, and that is what makes them unique in the online casino and online slots circuit.

Usually an online casino has an owner who then partners with a software developer whose games then “power” their online casino. This is not the case with Top Game. They are their software; they are their games; they are their online casinos. This makes them very unique.

Top Game came on the scene in 2007. This makes them very new in the online casino industry when compared to other software developers who had been in the industry for around ten years or so when Top Game launched their first online casino with their software. In four years, Top Game has shot up the industry impressing players with their array of online slots games and the quality of their graphics, software, bonuses and customer support staff.

They know they are up against long-time industry greats, and it is this knowledge that makes the player experience at their casinos, such as Rome Casino, so impressive. They make the extra effort to put more into their online slots games and other online casino games; they go the extra bit for their customers; they also stay on top of their bonus offerings with a strong Welcome Bonus with a unique feature as well as regular ongoing bonuses.

It this attention to detail and to their players’ experience that is making Top Game and its flagship online casino, Rome Casino, shoot into the upper circles of the online casino and online slots industry. Top Game might be new, but we can expect lots of good things to come.

Are you looking for a good and reputable place to play online slots?

Well I just so happen to have an answer to that question. There is a site I happened across that I found to have concise and pertinent information in their online casino reviews: Online Casino Suite.

Some sites on the Internet specialize in reviews of online casinos and keeping tabs on what is happening in the online casino industry. Such sites will keep their reviews up date with that latest. And this particular site I mentioned does not review any old online casino. They only review the best in online gambling sites.

After cruising around Online Casino Suite I not only found informative reviews of some of the top online casinos out there, but these reviews cover the keys aspects of online casinos that players should look at, things such as where and who their licensing body is, comments on their customer support, information about the games and of course information about welcome bonuses and player rewards clubs.

Online Casino Suite has the drive to point online slots players in the direction of safe, fair and reputable places to play.

On top of the online casino reviews, this site keeps up to date with what is happening in the online gambling industry, following stories such as the battle in Washington DC and federal lawmakers’ push to regulate online gambling in the US. They also follow software developers to keep up to date on new releases—esepcially when those releases are online slots games.

On the whole, Online Casino Suite is a versitle yet focused site dedicated to helping players find the best online gambling site to play at. You can check them out at http://onlinecasinosuite.com

One of the benefits to playing casino games in casinos, especially Las Vegas casinos, are the comps. These usually come in the form of reduced hotel room rates, coupons for free food at a buffet, show tickets, flight reimbursements, free rooms and limo transportation.

Some players who are thinking of giving online slots a whirl wonder what they can expect from an online casino in terms of comps. After all online casinos are not going to comp their players for hotel rooms or a free trip to the buffet; such things do not exist in the online casino world. But there are other ways for players to be rewarded for being loyal players or high rollers.

Online casinos will often have player rewards clubs, which are free to join. Some will even have millionaire or high roller clubs; however these are generally by invite only. Those who play slots online do not necessarily need to be a part of a high roll club to pick up benefits at online casinos though.

Online player rewards programs will often have several levels for players to play through. This is done by accumulating points through playing. Once a player reaches so many points, they are moved up into the next level.

Starting even at the beginning level, players receive deposit bonuses, special weekly bonuses and cashback offers. These benefits are not offered to online slots players who are not in the players reward club. These special bonuses allow players more bonus money to increase their bankroll with, which in turn increases their ability to play longer or win more.

Cashbacks are of special interest to online slots players. Cashbacks usually happen once a week, and give players back a set percentage of money they lost while playing the previous week. I do not know of a land casino that gives a portion of a player’s lost money back. A free limo ride or a comped room, yes, but lost money back, no. It is a perk that is meant for online casino players.

As players move up in levels the percentages on deposit bonuses increase, the weekly bonuses increase and so do the cashbacks as well. Some of the player rewards clubs even offer special gifts to their players in the highest levels. This is similar to how the comps increase in value at a land casino. Player rewards clubs are a definite perk to playing slots online.

Less than a year ago Microgaming introduced a new feature to its software. This new feature was meant to function as a flash program that would allow online casinos to access Microgaming online slots games faster and with more ease; this meant less upkeep and maintenance on the back end operations of online casinos. It also allowed Microgaming to acquire more online gambling partners, thus spreading the reach of their online slots game even further. That feature is QuickFire.

What started as a program to make access to online slots games easier has turned into a must-have. In less than a year QuickFire boasts a portfolio of more than 220 of Microgaming’s top games, most of which are their online slots games. Favorites include The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and both Thunderstruck titles.

Seeing just how popular and widespread their lineup has grown in less than a year, Microgaming is now uploading almost all of their new online slots games when they are launched.

From an online slots player’s point of view, online casinos get more new Microgaming online slots games faster. This means more new slots for players to start spinning the reels of faster than before QuickFire existed.

For Microgaming, they are seeing their reach expand through their partner online casinos. This spreads the word, and incidentally, the demand for Microgaming online casino games further. QuickFire was probably the smartest software release by Microgaming thus far.

I have no doubt that we will see more online casinos partnering fully with Microgaming or partnering as a multi platform casino in order to access QuickFire.

Note that I said UK. That means I am talking about European football, not the NFL. Think Manchester United instead of whatever American team is big right now. Yes, I will admit it; I am not up to date on sports here.

Online slots however I am up to date on. And that is why I am telling you all about the Football promotion that Virgin Casino is offering its players. This is not surprising considering that Virgin is based in the UK. And with Manchester United set to take Barcelona in the European Champions League Cup Final, the Brits are naturally in a tizzy right now over football.

Enter Virgin’s football promotion for slots players.

This is a promotion that online slots players can really dig since the bonus prizes are based on how much a player wagers. And we all know—and let’s all be honest—online slots players can really wager when they set their minds to it. Especially when it comes to online slots players who play progressive slots.

The way the football promotion works is like so: There are bonus prize tiers. The bonus prize is awarded to a player daily based on how much they wager that day, and each tier has a minimum:

Tier 1: wager £175 minimum, £5 bonus prize
Tier 2: wager £350 minimum, £10 bonus prize
Tier 3: wager £700 minimum, £20 bonus prize
Tier 4: wager £1,400 minimum, £40 bonus prize
Tier 5: wager £1,750 minimum, £50 bonus prize
Tier 6: wager £3,500 minimum, £100 bonus prize

Like any promotion, Virgin’s football promotion does have some stipulations: The maximum amount of prize money a slots player can win in a day is £100 and the maximum amount of bonus money that can be won in the promotion in total cannot be more than £700.

The football promotion is already underway at Virgin Casino, and will continue through May 14th. Shame US-facing online casinos do not do something like this for American football.

Many online casinos offer their players online scratch cards in addition to their lineup of online slots games. But are the two really any different at their core?

First I will explain online scratch cards. When playing an online scratch card, the player will choose which card (or theme) they want to play. They then make their wager. Then the player clicks each window of the scratch card to reveal a symbol. Generally speaking three symbols are required to receive a payout. The amount of the payout depends on which symbols show up.

Already sound familiar? It should. Online scratch cards are like slots games but without the paylines and spinning reels.

Both types of games require that players choose a theme they like. Then players have to make their wager. Online slots games are a little more involved because players have to choose paylines and potentially coins per payline to wager. Then the playing begins.

For online slots virtual reels spin before stopping to reveal symbols. If symbols line up on a payline, a payout is awarded. For online scratch cards, the player clicks their way through the symbols; then payouts are given for three matching symbols.

But at the core these are the same game. How do I know? Because both games’ outcomes are determined by the Random Number Generator (RNG) and neither allows for any player decisions that could impact the outcome. All a player can do is wager.

The outcome of an online slots game is determined as soon as the play clicks Spin. In that second the RNG pulls one of the outcomes. In an online scratch card game the outcome is determined by the RNG the moment the scratch card is chosen. All a player can do is click Spin or start scratching off symbols and hope for the best.

Online casinos that make up the Hambledon New Venture Group are hosting an online slots tournament to benefit victims of the tsunami in Japan.

Although it was not widely advertised, US players can participate in the tournament, which will continue to run until 10 pm tonight.

Go Casino and Online Vegas are two of the sister online casinos in the Hambledon New Venture Group, and are participating in the tournament. Players who are interested can still register to play at either one of those online casinos.

Entry into the Tsunami Relief Pot Percentage Charity Tournament is $1 and gives players $125 in tournament money to play with. Somewhat fitting to the theme of helping to save lives, Hambledon New Venture chose to play the tournament out on the Dr. Love online slots game from the Vegas Technology lineup.

While this is not the only Japan relief online slots tournament being held in the online gambling community, it is the one that US players can participate in, which is a nice considering that there are US military personnel and their families overseas in Japan; such family members and friends would also benefit from the aid since they live in Japan.

The only downside to this particular charity online slots tournament is that it was not widely announced and advertised. It was also selected to run for an odd duration, a Wednesday through Friday tournament.

Had this charity slots tournament been scheduled for a weekend or more widely advertised it might have more than the 1,375 participants that it currently has.

However, every bit helps and there is still time to spin the reels to benefit Japan. Players can head over to Go Casino or Online Vegas to register and help out Japan.

March will see the launch of two new online slots games at Virgin Casino. Both are based on iconic TV shows.

First up is the Star Trek online slots game. This one is going to be a five reel with thirty paylines to wager on. But the exciting feature is the bonus game. Or games I should say. There are four to this iconic themed online slots game, one for each officer featured in the game.

I wonder what Patrick Stewart thinks about his face being on the reels of an online slots game.

The other iconic themed online slots game that is on its way out is the Who Wants to be a Millionaire slots game. While not based on a TV show with as long of a standing as Star Trek, there are few in the world who are not familiar with the TV game show, whether they want to be or not.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire is to be a five reel online slots game with only twenty paylines as opposed to Star Trek’s thirty. While the jackpot amount has not yet been released for the Star Trek game, the jackpot for the Who Wants to be a Millionaire online slots game is set at 15,000 coins.

Virgin Casino seems to have a new game strategy that they are intent on trying out this month. I believe the intent is to generate more player interest to keep established players coming back, and draw in new ones.

“We are committed to launching at least one new game every week to give our customers the best online gaming experience available. These latest additions from leading online game developers demonstrate yet another enhancement of both choice and player experience,” said Head of Products Warren Eloff.

Virgin Casino is partnered with several online casino game software developers, including Microgaming and Wagerworks.
