Daily Online Slots Tournaments

August 23rd, 2010

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.

Freeroll Tournaments at VIP Slots

August 23rd, 2010

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.

Slots Tournaments at Rushmore

August 16th, 2010

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.

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.

Online Slots Tournament: 400K at Rome Casino

August 13th, 2010

The summer online slots fun is not over yet. Schools might be resuming soon and leaves will turn up north, but the reels are still spinning and the online slots tournaments are still happening.

This week is Rom Casino’s Viking and Striking Online Slots tournament. This is an extended weekend online tournament that began yesterday, August 12th, and will continue to run through the weekend, finally ending on Sunday, August 15th.

While most online casinos will only offer between $50,000 to $75,000 for their weekend online slots tournaments, Rome Casino is going above and beyond by putting $400,000 up for grabs, with the top twenty players winning a piece of it:

1st place: $20,000
2nd place: $15,000
3rd place: $10,000
4th place: $8,000
5th place: $6,000
6th place: $4,000
7th place: $2,000
8th place: $1,000
9th place: $750
10th place: $500
11th – 20th places: $250

Clearly Rome Casino, being a younger online casino, is trying to impress and show that they too can play and pay just like all of the established online casinos out there.

As made known in this online slots tournament’s name, this tournament is being played out on the Viking and Striking slots game. This is an online slots game created by Top Game as Rome is a Top Game powered online casino.

Entry into this tournament is easy, and it does not have any entry fee either. All an interested player need do is make at least two deposits of any size to their player accounts between August 12th and August 15th. Then hop over to the slots game and start playing. It is that easy to try for your own piece of that $400,000 prize pool.

With easy entry, no entry fee and a very large prize pool, Rome Casino is well on its way of holding its own in the online casino industry.

New Game at Party Casino

July 20th, 2010

In living up to its name, Party Casino is, in essence, having a party to celebrate the release of their newest online slots game.

The latest addition to this online casino’s lineup is called Palladium. Party Casino has made a whole VIP Lounge for this new jewel in their lineup which they have titled their Palladium Lounge. It is a smaller part of their larger VIP club.

And that is who this party is open to.

With Palladium opening this week, it will only be open for their VIP members. The initial ‘party’ will run through July 15th through July 31st, and there are five prizes to be one by five lucky VIP members.

Those five prizes are five vacation packages worth $5,000 apiece. Each of the five winners at the end of the launch party will win $5,000 towards a vacation destination of their choice. The $5,000 breaks down into $2,000 to go towards the cost of airfare, $1,500 to cover hotel accommodations, and the remaining $1,500 will be for spending money at the chosen vacation spot.

All the VIP members at Party Casino need to do is log in and play Palladium. Since this new online slots game is only open to VIP members there is no need for the online casino to charge an entry fee or find another way to separate VIP members from those who are not VIP members.

Once a VIP begins playing the new online slots game he or she will begin to accumulate points. Party Casino is keeping a leader board so that players can track their progress against others. At the end of the promotion the top five players will be awarded one of the $5,000 vacation packages.

It is not uncommon for online casinos to run such promotions when they launch a special new online slots game. Several Microgaming online casinos did so when Thunderstruck II was launched.

For those who are interested players, membership in Party Casino’s VIP club is by invitation only to online slots players who have earned 9,000 points in a calendar quarter.

Insanity at Crazy Slots

July 19th, 2010

With a name like Crazy Slots insane offers should come as no surprise. And Crazy Slots is pulling out the stops to welcome new players to their online casino. Many online casinos offer new players less than $1,000 in deposit match bonuses. Crazy Slots, in living up to their name, is offering new players $12,500.

The online casino industry is growing at a rapid rate. This could be due to convenience or gaming technology. Whatever the reason, online slots players are able to take advantage of what is becoming a highly competitive market.

New online slots players at Crazy Slots are able to claim the Welcome Bonus being offered: $12,500.

This Welcome Bonus is spread out over the player’s first fifteen (15) deposits, each deposit with its own match. The breakdown looks like this:

1st deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
2nd deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
3rd deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
4th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
5th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
6th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
7th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
8th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
9th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
10th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
11th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
12th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
13th deposit: 100% match worth up to $777
14th deposit: 100% match worth up to $1,250
15th deposit: 100% match worth up to $1,250

Yes, those last two are correct. A new player’s 14th and 15th deposits could be worth up to $1,250.

But fifteen matched deposit bonuses are not the only rewards for joining Crazy Slots. New players also receive four free entries into tournaments. Those can be used to take part in online slots tournaments at Crazy Slots.

Crazy Slots is a Vegas Technology powered online casino that accepts US players. They run online slots tournaments regularly, including Frugal Friday tournaments, Red Eye tournaments and even $0.25 tournaments Monday through Thursday.

Strategy Tips of Slots Tournaments

June 9th, 2010

Slots tournaments can be a lot of fun regardless of whether you are playing in one in a brick and mortar casino or in an online slots tournament. There is a certain competitive feeling to slots tournaments that players enjoy.

Another benefit is that, because slots are games of chance, each player is evenly matched. Players who compete in a slots tournament have more confidence going into the tournament than those who compete in table game tournaments. This is because table games like blackjack and poker require skills to excel at, whereas with slots it is just a matter of hitting Spin.

But slots tournaments can seem deceptively easy to play in, which allows for slots players to get carried away with playing in them. This is true for slots tournaments in brick and mortar casinos and for online slots tournaments.

So you will want to go into a slots tournament with a bit of a strategy. Strategy will not change your odds of winning the tournament; it can help you to keep control of how much money you are spending on the tournament.

Tournaments have an entry fee that players must pay to play in the tournament. The entry fee gets players into the tournament and gives them a tournament playing balance. Players do not use their money for their playing balance—they only need to pay the entry fee.

But should a player lose all of their tournament balance rebuys are available. A rebuy is like a recharge. For a small fee, usually around but not more than half of the entry fee, players can have another tournament balance, usually the same amount as the starting amount.

Now here’s where the slots tournament strategy comes in. Remember that overall, slots games are designed to take a player’s money over time rather than pay out. So it is likely that you will probably need a rebuy.

What you have to decide is how much you want to invest in a slots tournament. Do you only want to invest the cost of the entry fee? Or are you willing to purchase rebuys?

Players are only out the cost of their entry fee and rebuys they purchase if they lose the tournament. You have to set a limit on how much you are willing to invest in a tournament. Look at the prize pool—is it low or high. A higher prize pool might be worth a bigger investment, meaning the entry fee and several rebuys.

Always think of your investment as how much money you are comfortable spending on a slots tournament. Say you only want to spend $25 on one tournament, and the entry fee is $10; that gives you entry into the tournament and enough for three rebuys.

Set a limit for yourself on how much you are going to spend and do not go over it. If you are not in a good place when you have run your tournament balance out, walk away from the tournament. Do not get in the ‘Just one more’ habit. It can lead to money troubles down the road for you. Set a limit and stick with it.

Summer Slots Money

June 8th, 2010

Online slots tournaments run year round. But it is during the summer that online slots tournaments hit their peak. Online casinos break out their best online slots tournament offerings, and Super Slots is no different.

Super Slots is bringing back their popular Summer Tournament online slots series. This is a three part series with $500,000 up for grabs over the course of the whole series.

Part I of this summer online slots tournament series began on June 1st but it will be running for the entire month, ending on June 30th. Players will be playing out Part I on the five reel, twenty five payline Funky Chicken online slots game from Vegas Technology.

Kicking Off the Summer with Slots

June 1st, 2010

June is the first month that we all really begin to feel like it is summer. With that in mind, Go is diving into June and the summer by hosting their June Kickoff online slots tournament

This online slots tournament starts today, June 1st, at 1 pm, and will run through 7:30 pm Friday, June 4th.

6th place: $405
7th place: $350
8th place: $270

While this is not a freeroll tournament, the entry fee on this online tournament is not all that bad. Players who want to play in the June Kickoff only need to pay $8.99, and they will receive 300 tournament credits to play with. Rebuys are available for $8.99 to replenish your tournament balance.

So what makes this online slots tournament a great summer kick off? You remember that movie ‘Jaws’ right?

This online slots tournament is being played out on Shaaark, a five reel by Vegas Technology with twenty five paylines. And while this online slots game is not exactly ‘Jaws’ it will make you think of it: man-eating shark on the loose with chewed up surfboards and scared beach-goers.

To get in on the start of the summer fun with the June Kickoff, head over to Go Casino and be ready to spin the reels at 1 pm today. You might be one of the top ten players who get to kick off their summer with some extra money.
