I have to say that Rushmore runs their online slots tournaments a little bit differently than other online casinos. For one thing they do not list their online slots tournaments more than one day in advance. This means that a slots player needs to check in constantly for any online slots tournaments they might want to play at Rushmore.

Right now the furthest into the future Rushmore has online slots tournament listed is for tomorrow. Otherwise everything in their tournament lobby is for today. Hope you read this in plenty of time.

For the most part Rushmore runs only three types of online slots tournaments: Loose Caboose, Crystal Waters and Texan Tycoon. They have a rolling run each day, and each have its own level of prize pool based on the registration.

Loose Caboose would be the baby of these online slots tournaments. Players register for $1.10. The fee is broken down into two parts: $1 into the prize pool and $0.10 to Rushmore.

Crystal Waters ups that bar by requiring an entry fee of $5.50, with $5 going into the prize pool and $0.50 going to Rushmore.

Finally there is Texan Tycoon. This online slots tournament costs $11 to play in. The prize pool receives $10 and Rushmore gets the remaining $1.

All of Rushmore’s tournaments work the same way. Each tournament will be available to those who registered for 4 hours. Each player that has registered must log in during that 4 hour window. Once logged in the player has 10 minutes to play with their allotted 10,000 tournament credits.

At the end of the 4 hours, whichever play did the best in his or her 10 minutes is declared the winner and receives the largest chunk of the prize pool.

And each one of these rolling online slots tournaments at Rushmore is played out on the Real Time Gaming slots game whose name is featured in the tournament title.

A few months ago Rushmore partnered with a new company to run their new online slots tournaments. While I am glad that Rushmore is now offering online slots tournaments, I think that their format could use a little tweeting in that tournaments need to be announced more than a day out. Baby steps, baby steps my friends.

Seems like everyone is in a hurry to release their new online slots games into the wilds of the online casino industry. Rival has made a couple of releases and Bodog has launched a new online slots game. Micorgaming and Vegas Technology cannot be far behind.

But Real Time Gaming’s latest online slots game is now here. The new five reel, twenty five payline online slots game is called Fruit Bowl XXV and it is being launched in celebration of the start of the NFL season.

Naturally the symbols are all sort of fruity—the Football is made up of a lemon with football stitching added to it. The Cheerleaders are blueberries. Other fruity symbols abound along with the Stadium, Tickets and Hats symbols.

But in this online slots game it is on between Mr. Grape and the Pineapple Boys.

Mr. Grape is not only the star of the fruity football team, he is also the Wild, substituting for all symbols except the Scatter. He also has a high payout for landing five of him: 7,500 coins.

As for that Scatter, it is the Logo. Five of those are worth a 200x multiplier. But it is also the trigger to the bonus game when you land at least three Logos.

When the game launches you will find yourself in Mr. Grape’s shoes and evading the Pineapple boys to cross the field. Just for triggering the bonus game players are awarded five free spins. But every time a player successfully evades one of the Pineapple Boys five more free spins are added.

In the bonus game, a touchdown will award you twenty five free games with a multiplier ranging from 2x to 5x. But being tackled will have the whistle blown and you will be returned to the regular game.

Like all online slots games that are a part of the Real Video Series, Fruit Bowl XXV features a major jackpot and a minor jackpot, both of which are won randomly.

I was never much of a football fan growing up, but with an online slots game like this I will be more inclined to enjoy the game. Rival has succeeded in creating a fun and bright online slots game

The Real Time Gaming and Egyptian themed online casino, Slots Oasis, is breaking out a nice weekend slots bonus. And what online slots player worth her credits does not like a bonus? Extra credits mean extra to play with, and that means more opportunities to win.

In thinking about it, you could say that in a way taking advantage of a slots bonus increases your chances of winning at online slots, if only because you have more credits to play with. So it is not only about a little extra free money, it is about increasing your chances of winning.

So how much is a little free money?

The weekend bonus that is being offered to online slots players is a 150% match deposit bonus that is worth up to $750. When you think about the weekend bonuses offered by online casinos, this one is definitely up there.

This is what is known as a Play Bonus. This means that players cannot withdraw any of the bonus money. Only withdraws on money won from wagering with the bonus amount can happen.

So let’s say that you receive the full $750 bonus. You would not be able to withdraw any of that $750. Online slots players use this bonus to play with. So whatever you win with the $750 is yours. But the $750 does not leave the bonus portion of your player account.

Players will find that this slots bonus can only be used five times. Not five times in one weekend, but five times in their time playing at Slot Oasis.

Each type of deposit method has its own redemption code for this bonus so make sure you use the redemption code that matches your method of deposit. And players who use UseMyWallet or eWalletXpress receive an extra 25% bonus. Online slots players, you have to visit the cashier and turn in the redemption code after you make your deposit and before you make any wagers.

Bonuses. Every online slots player looks for them. But the secret is not in just looking at an online casino’s Welcome Bonus—that might only work for your first handful of deposits. Smart online slots players want to find online casinos that will give them bonuses regularly.

Cherry Red would be one of these online casinos.

Cherry Red is powered by Real Time Gaming, who is known for their spectacular graphics in their online slots games. US players are welcomed at Cherry Red.

When an online slots player first signs up at Cherry Red, he is welcomed with a bonus worth $7,777. This is a matched deposit bonus that is spread out over a player’s—not fist couple of deposits—but spread over their first ten deposits.

But the slots bonuses do not end there.

Cherry Red offers players weekly bonuses for playing with them. Each player receives ten coupons worth $5,000 to use on their deposits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The ten weekly coupons can be used with all of the deposit methods: credit card, UseMyWallet, or eWalletXpress.

But that only covers the week, what about the weekends?

Cherry Red has slots bonuses for the weekends too. Deposits by online slots players receive a 150% match deposit bonus worth up to $750. There are five coupon codes for the weekend bonus for each deposit method.

And on a side note, online slots players who use UseMyWallet or eWalletXpress receive an extra 25% bonus. Just an FYI for you.

These are not spectacular, mind dazzling bonuses for online slots players, but they are consistent and constant. Online slots players at Cherry Red know that there is always a deposit bonus coming up, so there is no glum feeling when your welcome bonus runs out.

Keep in mind the regular bonuses for online slots players when you are out looking for an online casino.

Within the last couple of months, due to a disagreement between Real Time Gaming and 21 Gnet, Rushmore does not offer blackjack tournaments anymore.

Instead they are now offering online slots tournaments instead!

And to go along with all the new fun online slots excitement, Rushmore is offering a special online slots Welcome Bonus.

The good thing about being an online slots player is that we tend to enjoy and play through our bonuses faster than those who play other online casino games. This means that we get to see our bonus money faster, which anyone would enjoy.

Now at Rushmore new online slots players are eligible to receive $888 in their first two deposits.

When players make their first deposit, as soon as they have done so, they need to hop over to the cashier section of Rushmore’s site and turn in the coupon code: 400FREE. This will get them a 100% match deposit bonus worth up to $400.

When players are ready to make their second deposit to their playing accounts there is a second coupon code. As soon as the second deposit is posted another trip to the cashier section of Rushmore’s site will be in order.

This time the coupon code is 488FREE. That code will give a new online slots player another 100$ match deposit bonus, but this one is worth up to $488.

After that it is on to sign up for Rushmore’s VIP Rewards program, which gives online slots players even more bonuses! And players have the knowledge that they are playing through their bonuses faster than the other casino games players.

It seems that Regalbar Limited is saying ‘In your face, UIGEA!’ Regalbar launched its new online casino powered by Real Time Gaming software this week: Slots Jungle Casino.

Regalbar is looking to make a big splash with this new online casino. It is designed and aimed at players in the United States despite last month’s enactment of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

By offering some rather large Welcome Bonuses and toting its offerings of Real Time games with their impressive graphics Regalbar is hoping to draw attention to their new Slots Jungle in hopes that the online casino industry will see that they are unafraid of UIGEA.

In fact their rather forward approach at trying to attract US players almost seems like a declaration that Regalbar thinks that UIGEA is a failure as far as deterrent goes and that the US should legalize and regulate online gambling.

New players at Slots Jungle are being offered a Welcome Bonus worth up to $10,000. This match deposit bonus is spread out over a new player’s first ten deposits, with each deposit being matched 100% up to $1,000 each time. Not too shabby for this new online casino that is joining the ranks of online gambling sites.

But the question here is what, if anything, will US lawmakers think of this new online casino and the possible message Regalbar is trying to send.

It seems that Regalbar would like to give Reps Barney Frank and Shelley Berkley a hand—a showy hand—by showing anti-online gambling lawmakers that the online casino industry does not fear UIGEA.

Regalbar knows US history, and with similarities to Prohibition, they seem to say with their newest online casino that they know that US players want to play online casino games and that they will find a way to play. Regalbar is only too happy to offer US players a place to play.

What player of online slots game does not want a little extra for their bankroll? The answer is that no online slots player would turn down extra money.

And this is precisely why online casinos offer bonuses to their online slots players. The majority of bonuses are offered when a player first signs up at an online casino. In those instances you are given an option to take the Welcome Bonus and play through their wager requirement.

The down side to generic Welcome Bonuses is that despite the higher amount offered, the wager requirements are harder to play through or take longer. This is the online casinos’ way of hooking their new players. They want to be able to withdraw on their bonus amounts? Oh, you had better be ready to earn that bonus money.

On the other hand some online casinos will offer special slots bonuses to new players whose intent is to play online slots games. These will come with wager requirements that are tailored to play on online slots games rather than generic casino game playing.

Rushmore and Cherry Read are two such online casinos.

Recently these two Real Time Gaming powered online casinos made the switch from being focused on blackjack to online slots games. With this change in focus comes not only online slots tournaments, but also some slots only Welcome Bonuses.

Both of these online casinos’ have put up the same offer to new online slots players: the Slots Special Bonus. With this bonus players receive a 400% match deposit on their first deposit worth up to $2,400. And it is only for online slots players.

If you are eyeing Rushmore the following promotional codes can be used in the cashier section of the casino. Make sure you are using the right code to match your deposit method:

credit card: SLOTS400
UseMyWallet: SLOTS400UMW
eWalletXpress: SLOTS400EX

Similarly these are the codes if you are training your eye on Cherry Red. Remember, make sure you use the correct code to match your deposit method:

credit card: CHERRYREELS
UseMyWallet: CHERRYREELSUMW
eWalletXpress: CHERRYREELSEX

Real Time Gaming has done it again. They have added a new online slots game to their arsenal of online slots games.

This latest edition is a five reel called Ocean Dreams. A nice relaxing name for an online slots game that takes you beneath the waves for a fun, non-stressing spinning of the reels.

Players will find in the reels Seahorses, Shells, Whales and Crabs along with other signs of life teeming under the waves. And of course this online slots game carries RTG’s trademark smooth graphics, resulting in a visually appealing game.

While these ocean creatures might be of help in turning a profit, there are other features to help boost a slots player’s winnings. There is a Wild with a multiplier (which is always a good feature) and a Scatter.

But my favorite bonus feature is the free spins. There are up to one hundred free spins to be one in just one triggering of this bonus feature. And all of the free spins have a 2x multiplier on them. Oh, and that Wild? It will appear on all of the reels to help increase a slots player’s bonus winnings.

The free spins feature has a top payout of 40,000 coins while the regular game has a top payout of 10,000 coins.

Ocean Dreams is also a part of RTG’s Real Series. Online slots games in this series have two extra features for players to look forward to.

The first is the Win-Win. In this feature if the bonus feature does not award the slots player at least 10x the triggering bet, a different bonus game is set off so that the slots player can definitely win some bonus money.

The second feature consists of two random progressive jackpots: a Minor and a Major. Either one can be randomly triggered by any slots player who happens to be spinning the reels.

Ocean Dreams can be found at any of the Real Time Gaming online casinos, such as Cherry Red. It is a fun addition to the RTG line-up.

To try something a little different today I decided to take a look at what Real Time Gaming had to offer. So I clicked my way over to Club USA, who by the way does accept players from the United States, to give the Real Time platform a try.

For my Real Time Gaming experience I took Goldbeard for a spin. This is a five reel online slots game with twenty paylines. Naturally, in case you did not get the reference, this online slots game has a rather cartoony pirate them, the star of which is the infamous pirate Goldbeard.

To go along with this rather odd looking pirate are his Ship, his Parrot, his Cannon, and his Treasure Chest. There are also the traditional 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, but they have been dressed up a little bit with some old fashioned design.

Goldbeard himself is the Wild, substituting for all symbols except for the Gold Coin. He can only be spotted on reels 1 and 5. And spotted is the word. This pirate is very good at hiding from the slots player.

And this is a shame as he must be landed on both reels 1 and 5 at the same time in order to trigger the free spins. How many free spins? The slots player would only win 2, 3 or 4 free spins with a 3x multiplier. Yes, that is it.

However if on one of these lucky 2 to 4 free spins, if you land Goldbeard on reels 1 and 5 again you will win more free spins.

The tricky part here is landing him the first time to trigger the free spins, and this seems to be a bit on the tricky side, even with more than one of Goldbeard on each reel. And you only are given 2 to 4 free spins after all the spins it took to trigger, and there is no guarantee that you could win any further free spins from the original free spins.

There is a Scatter, which is the Gold Coin. But it is one of those Scatters that I am not fond of: the kind that only pays the cost of one spin as its minimum.

Overall I have to say I was not impressed with this offering from Real Time Gaming, and I would limit my playing to playing for fun. I can only hope that some of the other online slots games offered by Real Time have a bit more to them.
