Friday Night Quickie Anyone?

May 20th, 2011

It is Friday, the night when people go out and unwind after a long work week. That being said, anyone up for a quickie?

Shame on you for thinking I meant THAT. I do not know where you got that idea; I was talking about the Quickie online slots tournament that is happening tonight at Go Casino.

For those of you who are not going out on the town tonight and are staying in Go Casino is giving online slots players the chance to make a quick buck. The Quickie slots tournament series happens every night of the week—well, not everyone needs a quickie the same night of the week.

The Quickie will get underway at 9 pm tonight and will run for two and a half hours, ending at 11 pm tonight. Two and a half hours definitely sums up quickie when you are talking about online slots tournaments.

Every Quickie tournament offers players the chance to win a portion of the $500 prize pool, which has a breakdown like so:

Prize 1: $100
Prize 2: $50
Prize 3: $31
Prize 4: $30
Prize 5: $28
Prize 6: $24
Prize 7: $21
Prize 8: $19
Prize 9: $17
Prize 10: $16

The prizes continue from Prize 11 at $15 to Prize 21 at $2.

Players can enter the Quickie by registering at Go Casino and paying an entry fee of $1.99. That $1.99 gives players a tournament balance of $100 to spin the reels of Vegas Technology’s La Fiesta online slots game. For any player who crosses the low balance threshold of $35, rebuys are available for $1.99, which will recharge a player’s tournament balance with $150.

May Slots Kickoff

May 2nd, 2011

It is only the second day of May and already the online slots tournaments for this month are underway. Go Casino is kicking off the month right away with a May Kickoff online slots tournament.

The May Kickoff is a chance for online slots players to welcome in a new month, welcome spring and to try their luck at winning a portion of the $15,000 prize pool. The prize pool breakdown looks like this:

Prize 1: $4,000
Prize 2: $1,200
Prize 3: $500
Prize 4: $350
Prize 5: $300
Prize 6: $240
Prize 7: $200
Prize 8: $180
Prize 9: $170

Prize 11: $140
Prize 12: $130
Prize 13: $120
Prize 14: $110
Prize 15: $100

The prizes continue on down to prize 29, which is for $3. Some prizes will be awarded multiple times to multiple players.

The May Kickoff began yesterday and will continue through to 10:30 pm on Friday, May 6th. Players can register up until 10:25 pm on the 6th however. At the time of this writing there were 211 participants with mattjr79 leading on the race with $12,044.79.

Players can enter the May Kickoff for $6.99. That entry fee gets you a tournament balance of $300. The low balance threshold is set at $35. If that low balance threshold is crossed, slots players can make rebuys for another $6.99 each. Each rebuy gives players another $300 added to their tournament balance.

As for the online slots game, Go Casino is using Vegas Technology’s Wheel of Chance, a popular five reel online slots game.

Players can register to play in the May Kickoff online slots tournament at Go Casino for their shot at a piece of the $15,000 prize pool.

Valentine’s Online Slots Tournaments

February 1st, 2011

It is that time of year again. The time of year that girls love and guys dread. That is right—it is time for Valentine’s Day. And for the online casino world, that means Valentine’s Day online slots tournaments.

This year I am going to start with Go Casino and their Valentine’s Day slots tournament.

The name of the slots tournament is the Valentine’s Day Week Long $25,000 Bonus Buck Freeroll. Yes, that is a mouth full of a name. But it sums up, for the most part, what Go Casino is doing for Valentine’s Day.

By week long, Go Casino means five days. This online slots tournament is set to start at10:30 am on Monday, February 14th, and run through Friday, February 18th, ending at 10:30 pm.

So, yes, it is a weeklong slots tournament, but a week long tournament is usually only a tournament that happens during the week, saving the weekend for heavy tournaments. For Go Casino, this means their Weekend Madness slots tournaments.

As the title of this slots tournament suggests, this is a free online slots tournament. Players who register will start out with 75 tournament credits to play with. Players can rebuy for $5.75

As for that $25,000 prize pool, it is a Bonus Bucks prize pool. This means that cash is not going to be awarded in this tournament. However, that is a lot of Bonus Bucks to give away, so I am going to say that the lucky winners will have a lot of extra money to use to boost their slots playing.

Now the only detail not mentioned in the title is what online slots game will be played, although the title is a big hint.

The name of the Vegas Technology online slots game being used is Cupid’s Arrow. Guess what that one is about.

Go Casino’s Valentine’s Day online slots tournament is the first to show up on the radar, but I have no doubt others will be not far behind.

Go Giving Away 60K Before Month’s End

January 21st, 2011

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.

Need a Quickie?

January 12th, 2011

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.

December Slots Tournament Kickoff

November 30th, 2010

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.

New Online Slots Tournament Series

October 1st, 2010

I love October. It is my favorite month. For one thing it is normal to play all of the Halloween themed online slots games then. Then there are all the Halloween promotions. It is like trick or treat for online slots players all month.

But this month at Go Casino there is something new. Think of it as the best new candy treat you could receive this month.

This month Go has launched a new online slots tournament series, the Two and a Half Freeroll.

As its name suggests, each of these tournaments will last two and a half hours. And each of these tournaments does not require an entry fee. All you need to do to play is have a real money account and register so that you receive your 100 tournament credits.

Players will be playing for a prize pool of $500 in Bonus Bucks. And no complaining about this being a tournament for Bonus Bucks. This tournament does not cost a penny to enter, and Bonus Bucks can help boost your bankroll for future playing.

Each one of these Two and a Half Hour Freeroll tournaments begins at 9 pm Eastern Standard Time and ends at 11:30 pm the same day. The reason for the short time span is to give players the chance to play in a tournament that does not last for hours or days. With this new online slots tournament series, players can play and find out if they won or not in a short period of time.

These new online slots tournaments will run every Monday through Friday at Go Casino, so that is five chances to win some of those $500 Bonus Bucks.

Online Slots Tournament Late Night

September 24th, 2010

What is the best way for an online slots player to keep themselves entertained in the early hours of the morning?

An online slots tournament that is especially for all of those late night people!

And Go Casino has just the online slots tournament series to fill that need. They host their Red Eye Pot Percentage online slots tournament every night, or morning depending on how you view time, of the week. That means that there is always some late night online slots action out there for night owl slots players.

It is also offers a chance to play and even win an online slots tournament that most players will not play in simply because they are asleep. True, less participation means less in the Pot to win, but it also increases a player’s chances of winning the Pot.

Each Red Eye Pot Percentage online slots tournament begins at 12:30 am and runs through 8:30 am every day. So there is no single night, or morning, that leaves an online slots player without a late night thrill.

This month seven online slots games created by the ever popular Vegas Technology have been selected to be used in this online slots tournament series, one for each night of the week:

Monday: Winter Wonderland
Tuesday: Parrot Party
Wednesday: Tiki Lounge
Thursday: Northern Lights
Friday: Butterflies

And the weekend night, or morning, offerings are:

Saturday: Fire Hawk
Sunday: Eastern Dragon

Players who are interested in the Red Eye Pot Percentage online slots tournament series only need to register at Go Casino and pay the $2.99 entry fee to receive their 250 tournament credits; rebuys are $2.99.

Go’s Progressive Jackpot Hit

August 17th, 2010

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.

Online Slots Tournament: August Freeroll

August 16th, 2010

I have decided that every Monday will be Online Slots Tournament Monday. This way all of you online slots players can get your tournament news and know what is happening in the tournament sphere.

Take this online slots tournament for example: Go Casino is hosting a freeroll tournament. And unless you are already a player at Go and receive their newsletters, how would you have heard about this amazing tournament?

Hence the need to devote some time to online slots tournament news.

For eight days the heat is on at Go Casino as their Hot August Freeroll is going on. This online slots tournament began at 8 pm last Friday, August 13th. But do not worry because there are still four days to go as the Hot August Freeroll does not end until 7:45 pm Friday, August 20th.

This is one of the more unusual freeroll online slots tournaments. Typically when an online casino hosts a low stakes or freeroll tournament the prize is a certain amount of Bonus Bucks, which is a fun name for bonus money that you can play with but not withdraw.

However, the Hot August Freeroll is different in a few ways. Try 75,000 ways. Yes, there is a money prize for this freeroll, and that prize pool is worth $75,000. Not too bad—you could enter this online slots tournament for nothing and come out with a piece of that $75,000.

As this is a freeroll online slots tournament, there is no entry fee to join this online slots tournament. Players start with 100 tournament credits. And should anyone run out, there are rebuys available for $12.99.

What online slots game do you play the Hot August Freeroll on? Well, it has to be a slots game that packs some heat and energy. Go has decided to go with Fire Hawk for this freeroll tournament. Fire Hawk is a five reel online slots game with twenty five paylines to play on. The theme is a Native American theme involving the legendary Fire Hawk.

The Hot August Freeroll promises to be one of those freeroll tournaments that stirs up plenty of excitement. Go Casino has certainly offered their players a great way to stay in and beat the heat while taking a hot shot at winning some of that $75,000.
