One of the things that Go Casino does well is pay out in their online slots tournaments. Between this weekend and next, Go will be giving away $60,000 between the two remaining Weekend Madness online slots tournaments.

The Weekend Madness online slots tournaments are a series in which a large prize pool is given away every single weekend. How much is given away? Go guarantees that $30,000 will be given away every weekend:

1st place: $10,000
2nd place: $2,500
3rd place: $1,200
4th place: $900
5th place: $800
6th place: $650
7th place: $525
8th place: $475
9th place: $380
10th place: $300

The cash prizes continue through 30th place, ranging from $275 for 11th place to $5 for 30th place. I have to say that not many online slots tournaments will pay out to that many players in one tournament—remember that is thirty payouts per tournament. So thirty players will receive a portion of this week’s Weekend Madness, and another thirty players for next week’s Weekend Madness.

This week’s Weekend Madness will begin at 10:30 pm tonight and will continue through Monday, January 24th, ending at 11:30 pm. Players can enter for $10, which will give them 325 tournament credits to play with; rebuys are available for another $10. The name of the online slots game being used is Butterflies from the Vegas Technology arsenal.

The details for the Weekend Madness for the last weekend of the month is the same—same entry fee, amount of tournament credits and rebuy cost. The only things that have changed are the dates and the online slots game being played.

The last Weekend Madness of this month will begin at 10:30 pm on Friday, January 28th and will run through Monday, January 31st at 11:30 pm. The Vegas Technology online slots game being used in that tournament is called Fire Hawk.

Both online slots tournaments give players a shot at the $30,000 prize pools they are offering. It will be a fun two weekends to see who wins a piece of the total $60,000 at Go Casino.

Oh that sounded so wrong! And I was not talking about that, I was talking about online slots tournaments.

The majority of online slots tournaments out there will last for days and days. Usually a weekend tournament is the shortest, and it can be hard to wait three days to see if you get to win anything.

It can be equally hard if you have gotten near the top of the leader board—if not to the top of it—to wait to see if you are the lucky one who gets to take home the pot or a portion of a prize pool. Plus you have to keep checking in with the leader board and that can be tiresome.

The solution is obvious: Sometimes you just need a quickie.

Go Casino offers an online slots tournament series in which each tournament only last two and a half hours. You can play, and \ before the work day is done you will know if you have won anything or not.

And speaking of winning, each Quickie offers a prize pool of $500.

The Quickie tournament series are at Go every Monday through Friday with one two and a half hour tournament each day. Each tournament begins at 9 pm and ends at 11:30 pm the same night.

Players can pay the $1.99 entry fee to register and receive their one hundred tournament credits. Rebuys are available for another $1.99 if you hit the low balance threshold, which is $25. Each rebuy will give you another $200 in tournament credits.

Go will change which online slots game for their Vegas Technology arsenal is being used each week. This week the game is Solomon’s Mines, a classic of the Vegas Tech lineup and one of Go’s favorite online slots games to use in tournaments.

The Quickie online slots tournament series at Go Casino make for a quick diversion and fun tournament. And these online slots tournaments keep you from having to wait for days to see if you won a piece of that $500 prize pool.

It is not often that the online casino VIP Slots offers an online slots tournament with a prize pool. Usually the online casino and its sisters in the English Harbour Group have players playing for the pot in their slots tournaments. Not so with the Frozen Assets slots tournament—there is a real cash prize this time.

Beginning back on January 1st and running through midnight on February 1st, players can try to spin their way up the leader board to claim a piece of the $25,000 prize pool:

1st place: $7,500
2nd place: $5,000
3rd place: $1,500
4th place: $1,000
5th place: $750
6th place: $500
7th place: $100
8th place: $50
9th place: $25

Some places will be awarded to multiple players but the top prize is definitely only being awarded to he—or she—who spins the highest.

At the time of this writing, MYPCAR was at the top of the leader board with a tournament balance of $61,753.61.

For the $10 entry fee, players begin this online slots tournament with a tournament balance of $250.

Rebuys are available in this online slots tournament. The rebuy threshold is set at $5. For any player who hits that threshold a rebuy can be purchased for $10; the maximum number of times a player can rebuy is 2,500 times. Each $10 rebuy will give a slots player $250 added back to their tournament balance.

The Frozen Assets online slots tournament is being played out on Vegas Technology’s Beat the Bank slots game. This is a five reel, twenty payline slots game that has players helping the robbers out on their quest to rob a bank.

Players who are interested in this online slots tournament have until 11:56 pm on January 31st to register; after that tournament play will continue until 12:01 am on February 1st at VIP Slots. Once 12:01 am hits on the 1st the top placing winners will receive their share of the $25,000 prize pool.

More slots fun for the holidays is here! Every December sees the launch of more online slots tournaments than any other online casino holiday.

And online casinos will use online slots to celebrate any holiday.

Real Time Gaming powered online casino Silver Oak is launched two holiday online slots promotions for this month, both online slots tournaments.

The first of the holiday online slots tournaments is the Naughty or Nice slots tournament.

The thing that I like about Silver Oak’s tournaments is their simplicity. I offer up as an example the aforementioned Naughty or Nice online slots tournament—the name of the tournament is the name of the slots game being used.

Players can enter the Naughty or Nice tournament for $5 and spin the reels of the aforementioned five reel slots game for a piece of the $2,512 prize pool. Again, with the simplicity: $2,512 is ‘25’ for Christmas day and ‘12’ representing the December. Easily understood.

The slots game itself offers players free spins with 2x multipliers to help boost them up the leader board, as well as two Wild symbols.

The second online slots tournament for this month has nothing to do with the holidays at all other than the fact that it is running through December.

Players can buy into the Texan Tycoon online slots tournament for $9 and spin the reels of said online slots game for a shot at the $9,999 prize pool. And with Texan Tycoon players have a 10x multiplier and 25 free spins to help players climb the leader board in this tournament.

Players at Silver Oak are not restricted to only one of these online slots tournament and can play in both if they like. And while the first tournament carries more of a holiday slots game theme, the second online slots tournament does offer players the bigger shot at increasing their winnings.

Ah, the holidays.

Thanksgiving is gone—including the leftovers—and now it is time to move on to single most popular holiday: Christmas.

With the onset of the Christmas season comes all of the holiday slots and online slots tournaments. And to make sure that the fun and revelry lasts, VIP Slots is hosting a four part slots tournament.

Beginning Sunday, December 5th, Part I of VIP Slots’ Holiday Feast online slots tournament will begin.

From the 5th until 11:59 pm on Saturday, December 11th, players will be competing for a percentage of the pot. But that is not the real reason for Part I—or for any of the four parts of the Holiday Feast tournament series.

The top two hundred players who place in each of the four parts will advance to VIP Slots’ January Showdown, their big winter slots tournament event. There are only eight hundred positions in the January Showdown, and the only way in is to be one of the top two hundred players at the end of any of the four parts of the Holiday Feast.

Each of the four parts of the Holiday Feast will last one week, and each part has a different online slots game assigned to it:

Part I: Fat Cat
Part II: Naughty Ninjas
Part III: Beat the Bank
Part IV: The Reel Deal

Entry into Part I is $5 and gives players a tournament balance of $200. Each part carries the $5 entry fee and $5 rebuys.

Drop by VIP Slots to register for any of the Parts of the Holiday Feast and see if you are going to be one of the eight hundred who get to compete in the January Showdown.

Every now and then online casinos will launch a new series of online slots tournaments. And December sees Online Vegas launched their new Weekend 3 Hour Quickie online slots tournament series.

Online slots tournaments are the most exciting part of playing slots games online. It gives players the thrill of playing in a tournament combined with the fun of some of their favorite slots games.

With Online Vegas’ new slots tournament series, players are given the chance to play in a quick tournament, giving them fast results when compared to other weekend tournaments that last the whole weekend, causing players to wait three days to see if they have won anything.

In light of December being a big month for online slots tournaments, Online Vegas is only offering this new tournament series five times this month, each with its own Vegas Technology online slots game to go with it:

Friday, December 17th, 10 pm to 1 am with Big foot

Saturday, December 18th, 5 pm to 8 pm with Last King of Egypt

Saturday, December 18th, 10 pm to 1 am with Vampire Vixen

Sunday, December 19th, 5 pm to 8 pm with 7 Reel Slot Lucky 7’s

Sunday, December 19th, 10 pm to 1 am with 5 Million Dollar Touchdown

Each one of these Weekend 3 Hour Quickie online slots tournaments has an entry fee of $3.99, which gives players 250 tournament credits to play with.

If a player’s tournament balance drops too low, rebuys are available for an additional $3.99 each. Rebuys are only available if the low balance threshold is reached, and rebuys will give players another 250 credits to play with.

But the icing on the cake is that prize pool: $1,000 prize pool of real money—not Bonus Bucks—to the players highest up on the leader board. Not too bad for a 3 hour slots tournament.

These Weekend 3 Hour Quickies are a decent way to keep the online slots tournament momentum up while taking a break from any of the holiday tournament action happening at Online Vegas.

Tomorrow is December 1st and the beginning of the Christmas online slots season. And for Go Casino it promises to be a big month in terms of online slots tournaments.

December will dawn, literally, with an online slots tournament at Go Casino. The December Kickoff online slots tournament begins at 6 am tomorrow morning, December 1st.

The December Kickoff is offering slots players a $10,000 prize pool, breaking down like so:

1st place: $1,250
2nd place: $820
3rd place: $650
4th place: $420
5th place: $380
6th place: $350
7th place: $340
8th place: $320
9th place: $300
10th place: $280

Places 11 through 28 will each receive a prize, with 11th place receiving $260 and 28th place receiving $1, but all are real money prizes.

All in all the number of prizes and the amount of the top prizes is not too bad when considering that this is a two and a half day online slots tournament taking place during the middle of the week, beginning on the 1st tomorrow and ending on Friday, December 3rd at 10 pm.

Entry into the December Kickoff only costs $6.99 and gives players a starting tournament balance of $300. Rebuys are available for another $6.99 each, and each rebuy reloads a slots player with another $300 in tournament money, but rebuys can only be made when a player’s tournament balance hits $25 or less.

The game of choice for this online slots tournament is Wheel of Chance, a five reel Vegas Technology online slots game with twenty paylines. It features a game show type feeling, and offers players the chance of triggering ten free spins as well as a bonus game.

Considering that December starts in the middle of a week, Go Casino has put together a decent little mid-week online slots tournament for slots players to welcome in December and the Christmas season. I think it will tide players over until Go’s countdown to Christmas tournament begins later in the month.

Another holiday is upon us: Thanksgiving. And that means that online casinos are already up to their elbows in turkey.

And VIP Slots was up to their elbows faster than all the other online casinos owing to the fact that their online slots tournament for Thanksgiving is a month long. This is compared to other online casinos who are hosting extended weekend Thanksgiving online slots tournaments.

‘Tis true. The Big Turkey began on November 1st and will run through Thanksgiving and then some, ending on November 30th. Just in time for everyone to run out of turkey leftovers.

The Big Turkey offers a prize pool of $100,000 broken down into $85,000 in cash prizes and $15,000 in bonus money prizes. Some places will be paid to multiple players, but the amount per place looks like this:

1st place: $50,000
2nd place: $10,000
3rd place: $5,000
4th place: $2,500
5th place: $1,000
6th place: $500
7th place: $250
8th place: $100 bonus money
9th place: $50
10th place: $10

Players can pull up to the table of the Big Turkey and spin the reels on California Gold, the Vegas Technology slots game choice for this tournament, for $10. That $10 entry fee will give players $500 in tournament money to play with. Rebuys are available for $10 and that will give players another $500 in tournament money. The cap on the rebuys is 2,500.

With The Big Turkey being on the table until the end of the day on the 30th, there is still time to head over to VIP Slots and register. Go spin the reels, take a break for some real turkey, watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and then spin the reel some more. This slots tournament might send you into December with another type of turkey.

While many stores flat-out overlook Thanksgiving, online casinos do not. And not only do online casinos celebrate to biggest turkey day of the year with slots tournaments, some are so excited that they will count down to the beloved day of feasting.

Go Casino is hosting a Countdown to Thanksgiving freeroll online slots tournament. Naturally there is no entry fee and players will start out with 80 tournament credits to play with.

Unlike many other freeroll slots tournaments hosted by Go Casino, this one is not offering up Bonus Bucks as the prize pool. Instead Go is offering up a $200,000 prize pool, which breaks down like so:

1st place: $40,000
2nd place: $12,000
3rd place: $7,000
4th place: $5,000
5th place: $3,200
6th place: $2,000
7th place: $1,200
8th place: $1,000
9th place: $860
10th place: $700
11th place: $600
12th place: $550
13th place: $450
14th place: $400
15th place: $350
16th place: $300
17th place: $265
18th place: $250
19th place: $225
20th place: $200
21st place: $180
22nd place: $170
23rd place: $150

And those are all of the places that receive a cash prize. Places 24 through 38 have various amounts of Bonus Bucks being awarded to them.

As I said, this is a countdown to Thanksgiving kind of tournament. It opened yesterday and will continue to run through November 25th at 11:59 pm, which is Thanksgiving Day itself. So you can eat some turkey and play some more if you so desire.

Now if you do play through your 80 credits, rebuys are available for $12.99 and will give you 350 tournament credits to keep playing with. But you are only allowed a maximum of 5 rebuys.

If you are looking for a way to kill time before the turkey hits your dining room table, you can always register and spin the reels of Funky Chicken in the Countdown to Thanksgiving freeroll slots tournament at Go Casino.

Yes, I know, a chicken slots game for Thanksgiving. This is why I have been saying there needs to be Thanksgiving slots games.

It is a new month and that means that it is time for online casinos to spin in a new month. In the case of Crazy Slots it means a kickoff online slots tournament.

Beginning today at 3 pm and running through 10 pm this Friday, November 5th, Crazy Slots will hosting their November Kickoff slots tournament. This is a nice four day online slots tournament that carries a $15,000 prize pool.

All players need to enter the November Kickoff is a real money player account at the Vegas Technology powered online casino and to play the $8.99 tournament fee when registering.

The $8.99 registration fee gives players three hundred tournament credits to play with to try to move up the leader board to try to win a portion of that $15,000 prize pool.

And this is a cash prize pool, not a Bonus Bucks prize pool. Thought that was worth mentioning.

So what online slots game is having its reels spun for this online slots tournament?

It is the five reel, twenty five payline slots game called California Gold.

I suppose all the warm colors are the correlation between the nineteenth century Gold Rush and the fall. Otherwise I cannot see why this was the online slots game that was chosen.

Not that it is a bad slots game. Players help the hillbilly miner in his quest for gold, and help him to fend off bad guys who want to try to take over his little mine. Think of it this way: the miner’s gold is your gold so spin away.

If any player runs through their three hundred tournament credits, re buys are available for another $8.99, which gets them another three hundred credits to play with.

The November Kickoff is the first in the Crazy Slots November tournament line up. There are plenty of online slots tournaments happening this month. And we are still in the beginning of the holiday tournament season.
