Microgaming will be launching three new online slots tournaments to their partner online casinos.

According to Mike Hebden, the Head of Casino at Microgaming, “Microgaming constantly strives for innovation and we will continue to analyze our casino offering and make further improvements to ensure we stay ahead of the curve as the market evolves.”

Microgaming certainly does seem to be keeping ahead of the curve, launching two highly anticipated online slots games this year already: Thunderstruck II and The Lord of the Rings.

This time they have turned their eyes to their online slots tournament offerings. Three new types of online slots tournaments have been created, and players will be seeing them shortly in Microgaming powered online casinos.

Midweek Moolah and Weekend Whooper will have guaranteed prize pools of $10,000 each. And the Monthly Monster will have a guaranteed prize pool of $25,000.

The Midweek Moolah is going to be a three day tournament that, as its name suggests, will run during the middle of the week. The time span for this tournament is going to be three days.

The Weekend Whopper, as its name also suggests, is going to be a weekend tournament, covering three days—most likely Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Finally there is the Monthly Monster. Guess how long that one lasts. Yes, players will spend a month playing for a share of the guaranteed $25,000.

Microgaming hopes their new online slots tournaments will be successful in catching players’ attention and drawing them in for some online slots tournament fun at their partner casinos, such as All Jackpots.

Hebden said, “We have delivered a number of new, smart, player focused initiatives that we are confident will meet the expectations of even the most discerning casino player and will further increase engagement.”

Microgaming has done well of other new online slots games, so the initial outlook on the new online slots tournaments is definitively a positive one.

A lot of online slots players will save their playing until the weekend. This is why a lot of online casinos will have their full line up of tournaments ready to go during the weekends—including the online slots tournaments with the big prize pools.

Want to see what I mean? Then take a look at Crazy Slots and what they have going just about every weekend.

First off is their Weekend Madness online slots tournaments. These will start at 10 pm on Fridays and run through Tuesday of the following week. Up for grabs is a $30,000 prize pool, and players only have to pay a $10 entry fee to take a shot at it.

The Weekend Madness online slots tournament is the biggest tournament offered at Crazy Slots. Well, not quite. The only tournaments with bigger prize pools are their end of the month/beginning of a new month tournaments. Those prize pools vary from 50K to 75K, sometimes 100K if it is a holiday weekend.

Fridays are the days for the Frugal Friday online slots tournaments. These tournaments only cost $1.99 to enter and carry a prize pool of $2,500. These tournaments start at 9 am and run through 7:45 pm the same day. Not a bad way to kill your lunch hour.

Then there are the Bonus Buck Weekend Freerolls. Costing nothing to enter, players spend Saturdays and Sundays playing for a prize pool of $2,500 in Bonus Bucks. While the first 125 tournament credits are free, rebuys are available for $1.99.

Also running on the weekends for you night owls is the Red Eye Pot Percentage online slots tournaments. These tournaments begin at 12:30 am and end at 8:30 am the same day. Players can stay up late spinning the reels for a piece of the pot for only $2.99.

Sundays mean it is time for the Beat the Bank Pot Percentage. Players can enter for $2.50 and spin the reels of the Beat the Bank online slots game for a shot at a piece of the pot.

There is a type of online slots tournament for everyone, and that is what Crazy Slots wanted to make sure of. This way when players sign in on the weekends everyone can play in a tournament.

Slots players living across the Atlantic will be quite pleased with the latest freeroll online slots tournament series that has been launched.

This new freeroll online slots tournament is called the EUR100 Daily Slots Freeroll, and it is being hosted by Crazy Vegas.

I know, an online casino with Vegas in its name that American players cannot play at. It is kind of a letdown, especially considering what this freeroll online slots tournament has to offer.

As you can tell by the name of this online slots tournament series, this is a daily offering at Crazy Vegas and it is free for players to enter. All they need is to have downloaded the casino’s software in order to access the tournament section of the lobby, and to have created a real player account.

The title of this online slots tournament series also reveals its prize pool: EUR100. Those 100 Euros are broken down as so:

1st place: EUR40
2nd place: EUR25
3rd place: EUR15
4th place: EUR10
5th place: EUR10

At first the prize pool may not seem like a lot, but players have to remember that this is a daily freeroll tournament. Every day it is free to enter and every day EUR100 are being given away.

Each one of these daily freeroll online slots tournaments’ registrations open twelve hours before the start of each tournament and close one hour before the tournament ends. Each tournament lasts for twenty four hours.

This makes it easy for players to register and easy registration is a must since each tournament must have a minimum of six players to commence.

One more thing to note: players only have one rebuy available to them for EUR1.00.

This freeroll online slots tournament series is good for both experience players looking for an easy tournament to play in. It is also good for newer players who are just getting into online slots tournaments since they do not have to put money on the line.

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.

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.

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.
