I am not much of a fishing person, but Party Casino’s newest slots promotion The Big Catch has caught my eye.

That and I could not resist the cute penguins fishing up money.

The Bit Catch slots promotion has two parts to it: a leader board and a pick-your-prize, and will run through September 7th through September 21st.

For the leader board part of this online slots promotion players only have to spin the reels on the jackpot slots are Party Casino, such as Snow Business. Spinning the reels on these online slots games will earn players points. The more pointes that are earned, the higher up the leader board players will progress.

The top thirty players will receive cash prizes, and places 31st through 500th will receive bonus cash prizes:

Cash prizes
1st place: $10,000
2nd place: $7,500
3rd place: $6,000
4th place: $5,000
5th place: $4,000
6th place: $3,000
7th place: $2,500
8th place: $2,000
9th place: $1,750
10th place: $1,500
11th – 15th places: $1,000
16th – 20th places: $800
21st – 30th places: $650

Bonus cash prizes
31st – 45th places: $500
46th – 60th places: $400
61st – 75th places: $300
76th – 100th places: $200
101st – 125th places: $150
126th – 150th places: $100
151st – 200th places: $75
201st – 300th places: $50
301st – 400th places: $20
401st – 500th places: $10

What is more is that the hot spot of every fifth rank between 505th place to 2,000th place will receive a $5 cash bonus.

As for the pick-your-prize part of this online slots promotion, players will hit prize levels. At each prize level players can choose to take the prize of that level or to continue climbing.

For the first prize levels (100 through 500) players can pick up $10 cash bonuses or receive 50 more points to keep going. After 501 points players can pick up $35 cash bonuses.

Party Casino has put together a fun online slots promotion for this month.

If there is one thing that Microgaming is good at it is creating hysteria about their new online slots games. The good kind of hysteria.

I do not think that the hysteria generated by the launch of Microgaming’s launch of Thunderstruck II back in April was quite like the mad dash to offer promotions for the launch of their new online slots game Lord of the Rings.

Of the select Microgaming powered online casinos, Platinum Play, All Slots and Gaming Club have are hosting some incredible slots promotions and bonuses to lure in fans. Here is what is being offered and where:

Platinum Play:
This is one online casino that is trying to pull out all the stops in terms of slots promotions for this new game.

First they have set up a leader board to track who has won the most while playing the Lord of the Rings slots game. Top players will win prizes of course. And the best part is that there is nothing a player need do to enter this—all a player needs to do is play the game.

Platinum Play is also giving away 1,500 credits and a set of International Casino Games tickets to the player who wagers the most on the new online slots game each week.

Finally, Platinum is also doing a ‘spotted’ slots promotion. Random players who are spotted playing can win twenty five credits or a boxed DVD set of the Lord of the Rings.

All Slots:
All Slots has set up a secret three digit code in connection to the new Lord of the Rings slots game. The player who can correctly guess what the code is will win $100,000. The number of opportunities to guess depends on how much you play. In other words, the more a player spins the reels, the more chances they get to guess.

Gaming Club:
This online casino is giving away forty five free spins on the Lord of the Rings to entice players to spin the reels at their online casino.

And those are only three of the Microgaming online casinos that were selected to launch the new Lord of the Rings online slots game. There are plenty of slots promotions and bonuses being offered with the launch of this online slots game.

Online casinos always know when to put out new bonuses and promotions to attract new plays. And if you do not already have a player account at Super Slots this is the time to sign up.

During this Labor Day weekend Super Slots is offering an online slots bonus to new players. New players who sign up between today, September 3rd, through Monday, September 6th, will be eligible for a 150% match bonus that is worth up to $300.

And what online slots player would pass up the chance to pick up an extra $300? After all that extra $300 goes a long way in an online slots player’s bankroll.

All a new online slots player needs to do at Super Slots is create a new player account and enter the promotional code in the cashier section of the site. After that the match deposit slots bonus is theirs.

Super Slots is a Vegas Technology powered online casinos with an incredible amount of online slots games to play, including the ever popular Reel Deel five reel online slots game.

For online slots players who like playing in tournaments, Super Slots offers daily online slots tournaments every day of the month. They also offer a Quick Slots tournament that players can play for the pot in for only $0.50.

If tournaments are not your thing, there is still the incredible array of online slots games to choose from, including Grail Maiden. And that match deposit Labor Day slots bonus would go a long ways towards time spent spinning the reels.

On top of this Labor Day online slots bonus, Super Slots also offers a six level VIP program as well.

Still looking for some way to spend your Labor Day weekend? Rome Casino is offering up an option: their Labor Day online slots tournament.

Rome is hosting an online slots tournament that covers the entire Labor Day weekend. This tournament began yesterday, September 2nd, and will run through Sunday, September 5th.

Rome has a reputation as being an online casino that does not walk the exact same line as other online casinos in the online gaming industry. And this holds true for their Labor Day online slots tournament.

I suppose you could say that this is something of a freeroll online slots tournament in so much that there is no set fee to take part in this tournament. All any interested players need to do is create an account at Rome (if they do not already have one), and then make two deposits during the tournament time frame. There is no specified amount on those deposits.

Players compete in this tournament by playing any of the online slots game in order to collect Labor Day tournament points. The top twenty players at the time the tournament closes on September 5th will be rewarded:

1st place: $30,000
2nd place: $22,000
3rd place: $15,000
4th place: $8,000
5th place: $6,000
6th place: $4,000
7th place: $2,500
8th place: $1,500
9th & 10th place: $1,000
11th – 15th places: $500
16th – 20th places: $250

Obviously the nature of this online slots tournament deems the player who plays the hardest has the best shot at first place—the more you play, the more points you earn. But considering that there is no entry fee this is not a bad tournament.

Sure, you have to make two deposits, but you were going to make them anyway right?

All in all, this is not a bad online slots tournament. Players at Rome Casino stand a chance to win for doing what they do anyway: playing the slots. And this would be an easy online slots tournament to enter.

September promises to be an exciting month at Virgin Casino. Between four of the online gaming software developers that Virgin works with, nine new games will be launched this month, and eight of those new games are online slots games.

Yesterday I talked about how the Fortune Lounge Group will be launching the new Lord of the Rings online slots game this month with promotions to go along with it. They are not the only Microgaming powered online casinos to receive the new online slots game.

Virgin Casino, part of Virgin Games, will also be launching the much anticipated new online slots game. How is it that Virgin got their hands on the new Lord of the Rings online slots game when only a select number of online casinos will be receiving it? Warren Eloff, Head of Products at Virgin Games, has the answer:

“With our multiple partnerships allowing us to cherry pick the best of breed games we now offer unrivalled entertainment for players.”

It seems the secret is all in who you know.

While Virgin is going to be one of the first to receive the Lord of the Rings new online slots game, there are other online slots games that they choose not to launch right away. One such game is the Tomb Raider The Secret of the Sword online slots game.

This particular online slots game was released last year, but for whatever reason Virgin decided not to offer the Tomb Raider online slots game until this month.

The other new online slots games that Virgin will be launching this month are:

Loaded and Tally Ho from Microgaming
Bitten from WagerWorks
Alice’s Wonderland from Ash Gaming
Fruity Burst and Sacred 7s from Virtue Fusion

Last year Microgaming announced that it would be developing and creating an online slots game based off of the three Lord of the Rings movies: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.

Now the online slots game is almost here, due to be released this month to a select number of Microgaming powered online casinos. Those online casinos belong to the Fortune Lounge Group.

The Group has created a mini site that allows fans who are looking forward to the release of the Lord of the Rings online slots game to check in with the countdown clock, which gives the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the release.

You would think that fanfare is for a much anticipated movie rather than an online slots game, but the Lord of the Rings online slots game is predicted to become quite popular quite fast.

The Fortune Lounge Group has also prepared a number of promotions to go along with this online slots game’s release. There is $50,000 worth of prizes being awarded during September.

To whichever player that wagers the most on the Lord of the Rings online slots game, he or she will be the recipient of 1,500 credits with the Fortune Lounge Group online casino that they are playing at, as well as International Casino Games tickets.

There are also ‘spotting’ prizes. If you are online playing the Lord of the Rings online slots game on a Sunday or Monday you could be ‘spotted’ and receive 25 credits with the online casino you are playing at. Or you could win one of the five Lord of the Rings DVD box sets that the Group is giving away.

Finally, players who spin the reels of this much anticipated online slots game can earn quadruple reward points.

The Fortune Lounge Group has certainly put a lot of time, effort and money into the launch of the new Lord of the Rings online slots game. Hopefully their launch will go off well and perhaps other Microgaming powered online casinos will see this online slots game.

Do you remember a few days ago when I reviewed two of the WagerWorks online slots games?

One of those online slots games was Monopoly, which featured a very rewarding bonus game called Pass Go. And the other online slots game was Cluedo, which was based on the Clue board game, but for some odd reason needed –do tacked on to the end of its name.

Well both of those online slots games are two of the four that have been launched at BetFred Casino to begin their partnership with WagerWorks. Four online slots games were chosen to kick of the beginning of the partnership.

The other two online slots games that were chosen were Cleopatra and Wheel of Fortune, the Hollywood Edition. Guess what those two are based off of.

WagerWorks is reported to be quite happy with the new partnership. Their Director and General Manager, Oliver Lofthouse, has this to say on the subject:

“I am delighted that BetFred Casino has chosen to include WagerWorks titles as part of its online games development strategy. As a key operator with a long established reputation for value and customer satisfaction, this agreement allows it to leverage the best games in the market…I am confident that WagerWorks games will add incremental value to BetFred and continue to give its players best-of-breed game content.”

So obviously WagerWorks is pleased by the arrangement.

As for BetFred’s opinion of the arrangement, they also have nothing but nice things to say about this partnership. BetFred’s Operations Director, Nick Mounteer, said:

“The decision to integrate WagerWorks games was, in that respect, an easy one. WagerWorks is widely regarded as one of the top games suppliers in the market and it makes perfect strategic sense to utilize its availability via the Finsoft platform.”

But the ultimate winners are the players as they are the ones who get to play the four new online slots games, and any other online slots games that WagerWorks releases.

For online slots players who want a lot of tournament action there is an answer.

For Online Slots Tournament Monday may I present Super Slots’ daily online slots tournaments.

Everyday Super Slots hosts an online slots tournament that begins at 12:01 am and runs through 10:59 pm. While these are not twenty four hour online slots tournaments, they are pretty close to be them. They do allow fans of online slots and fans of tournaments get action on the reels without having to wait for the weekend tournaments.

These daily online slots tournaments also do not have the price tag that weekend tournaments have. Typically weekend tournaments have entry fees of $10 or $15, some a little more than that. But these daily online slots tournaments from Super Slots only cost $3 to enter.

As for the prize pool, players are playing for the pot in these tournaments. So while the fewer players there are in a tournament the better your chances of winning, but the smaller the prize will be. In turn, the more players there are, the larger the prize pool is and the more money the top players receive.

In other words, you can tell your friends in hope that one of you wins a larger prize. Or you can keep your knowledge of the tournaments to yourself, and increase your chances of winning.

Thankfully Super Slots rotates the online slots game that is used in each daily online slots tournament. Other online casinos will choose five games and rotate them. But that means that Monday’s game is always the same. Super Slots has more than five that they rotate, with a minimum of twelve per month.

The games being used for the rest of the month of August are as follows:

08/23: Magic Monkey
08/24: Vegas Party
08/25: Funky Chicken
08/26: 20,000 Leagues
08/27: Black Magic
08/28: Fat Cat
08/29: Black Magic
08/30: 20,000 Leagues
08/31: X Marks the Spot

With a healthy variety of slots games being used and the low entry fee, Super Slots has certainly set up a strong daily online slots tournament offering and schedule.

It is Monday again, and that means that it is Online Slots Tournament Monday.

This Monday I clicked my way over to VIP Slots to see what they were offering online slots players. I found a rather nice sounding online slots tournament—and it begins today.

VIP Slots is hosting a freeroll online slots tournament that will begin today, Monday, August 23rd, and run through next Monday, August 30th. And as stated, this is a freeroll online slots tournament, so there is no entry fee and no reason not to play. Especially since this tournament is running for a whole week.

Typically an online casino will host a freeroll tournament to bring in some tournament traffic and create a little excitement. They are not meant to be big time tournaments with big rewards; typically they will only award bonus money or small cash amounts.

However, VIP Slots is treating this differently. They are going to be giving away a $3,000 prize pool. That is an unusual amount for a prize pool being given away to winners of a freeroll online slots tournament.

This freeroll online slots tournament will be played out on Wheel of Chance. This is a five reel online slots game with twenty paylines of play. Wheel of Chance offers players the chance to trigger the bonus game and free spins.

Both features certainly help in tournaments, giving players a little extra boost. Again, the choice of online slots game is another thing that sets VIP Slots above when considering that many online casinos will choose a game for their tournaments that does not offer a bonus game.

The combined freeroll element and the larger than normal prize pool for such an online slots tournament is just the sort of player pleasing that VIP Slots is known for.

This week’s freeroll online slots tournament was the fourth week long freeroll tournament that VIP Slots has offered this month. We can only hope that they continue this type of online slots tournament in September.

The jackpot. It is the reason players play online slots games. It is what keeps players coming back for more, that chance that they could be the one to win it.

Some days playing online slots feel better than others. You might walk away with a tidy sum of winnings. But then there are other days that feel like the only purpose to these slots games is to take your money, and that progressive jackpot seems so far away. You might even find yourself wondering if anyone ever wins a progressive.

And although there are times you do not think anyone does or that progressive jackpots are only lures that online casinos put out, they are won. Sometimes the amount of the progressive jackpot is so high that you never thought that you would ever see such money.

Catherine M. is one such person.

Catherine, a resident of California, is the winner of not only Go Casino’s most recent progressive jackpot, she is the recipient of the largest progressive jackpot to be won at Go: $1 million.

“I couldn’t believe I hit the jackpot. I have never won anything like this in my life!” she said. Catherine had been playing Red White and Win, a three reel online slots game with one payline by Vegas Technology.

But this story does not end with Catherine. In fact, it still has not ended. The $1 million progressive jackpot that was paid out is only part of what there is to find at Go. According to Danny Michaels, Promotional Manager at Go, there is still money left in their progressive online slots games:

“Our progressive jackpots were over two million dollars before Catherine’s hit, so there is still over a million dollars of progressive jackpots to be won.”

Red, White and Win is only one of the four online slots games that have progressive jackpots at Go Casino. The other three are: Pay Dirt, Mega Money Mine and Win, Place or Show. All of them are three reel online slots games.
