“La Cucaracha” was a favorite childhood song of mine, which is odd, since I didn’t speak Spanish. However, despite the language barrier, I loved the song as soon as I learned it was a children’s song about a cockroach. I still don’t really know what the song is about, but it really doesn’t matter.

The La Cucaracha slot may or may not follow along with the story of the song. Someone who knows the song and understands Spanish would be a better judge of that than me. However, I can tell you that it is a slot with a Mexican theme and is fun to play.

The new online slot at Online Vegas features symbols that you associate with Mexico and funny children’s songs about Mexican roaches. The La Cucaracha slot has a symbol of a guitar-playing cockroach, an angry red hot chili pepper (not the band), a cactus, tacos and more. Each object is made human-like (yes, that means the game has a taco with eyes and a mouth – now I’m not hungry anymore).

La Cucaracha is a 5-reel, 20-payline slot that has a 5,000-coin jackpot. It has a variety of bonuses, such as up to 10 free spins. During those free spins, all winnings are tripled. Adding to the cartoonish Mexican atmosphere, if you have the audio on while playing this slot (I know many people play them on mute) then you will hear some Mexican songs. Yes, that includes the title track.

The La Cucaracha slot has a second-screen bonus feature, where players are at a fair. There are many chili peppers on display and the player must choose from them. The goal is to get the spiciest peppers, because they have the largest bonus.

Probably my favorite thing about the La Cucaracha slot is that it doesn’t really have a whole lot to do with cucarachas. That’s good, because roaches are disgusting and are only good when on the bottom of my shoe.

To play the La Cucaracha slot, visit Online Vegas Casino.

There are a lot of superstitious online slot players out there. It makes sense. Since it is a game of chance rather than luck, players will try anything to get luck on their side. Rubbing a lucky rabbit’s foot, tossing salt over their shoulder or counting to their lucky number when spinning may seem pointless, but anytime they win, it seems brilliant.

Sloto’ Cash Casino’s new online slot – Best of Luck – takes aim at the superstitious slot players. It features symbols of traditional good-luck charms, such as a horse shoe, shamrock, a lucky penny, a wishbone, an acorn and more. Honestly, I’ve never heard that acorns are lucky. I find them annoying when I step on them in my yard. For some online slot players, though, they’re necessary for winning. It may seem silly, but is it any worse than a playoff beard?

There are a couple cool animations in the game. If used in a winning combination, the lucky penny will be flipped and the wishbone will be split. None of the other symbols are animated, though.

Best of Luck is a 5-reel, 20-payline slot that can be played in denominations of $0.01, $0.10 or $0.25 per line. It has a jackpot of 10,000 coins and five different bonus rounds, meaning there is plenty of stuff to win using these lucky charms.

The online slot has free spin rounds activated by the scatter symbol of a bag of gems. During the free spins, all winnings are doubled. The Best of Luck slot is designed by Rival Gaming, the Cyprus company known for innovative games with great animations and graphics. In this game, there is nothing spectacular about the presentation, but the clever theme should attract some superstitious players (and the players who love to mock the superstitious).

To play the Best of Luck slot, visit Sloto’ Cash Casino.

Most of the world has soccer (or football) fever right now. I don’t, but I’m in the minority. Platinum Play Casino is in the majority, though, and they are offering a promotion called Soccer Fever. This promotion combines a slot tournament with the real results of the World Cup tournament to reward players with casino credits.

The Soccer Fever tournament takes place in four rounds. The first round runs from June 18-23. In that tournament round, players guess which teams will make it into the round of the last 16 in the World Cup. They then play on the Jane Blonde slot and earn a share of 5,000 credits based on the points they accrue.

The second round of the Soccer Fever tournament runs from June 25-29. In that round, players choose a team that they think will make the World Cup’s quarterfinal round. They then play the Liquid Gold online slot, earning triple bonus rewards points. In addition, this round has a prize pool of 5,000 credits.

The third round of the Soccer Fever tournament runs from July 2-5. In this round, players choose a World Cup team that they think will make the semifinal round. They then play the Fortune Finder online slot, earning triple bonus rewards points. This round has a prize pool of 5,000 credits.

The final round of the Soccer Fever promotion runs from July 7-10. In this round, players choose a team that they think will win the World Cup. They then play the Agent Jane Blonde online slot, earning triple bonus rewards points. At the end of this round, top players will share a 10,000 credit prize pool.

If you’re a fan of soccer, football, footie or whatever you like to call it, and you enjoy online slots, this is a good promotion for you. To take part in the Soccer Fever tournament, visit Platinum Play Casino.

It’s always nice to feel appreciated, and one of the things that makes me feel appreciated is getting free stuff. I guess it all started when I would get a sucker for going to the doctor’s office. Now, I feel appreciated whenever I get marketing swag (I have so many branded pens), coupons in the mail, or those tiny soaps that they have in hotel rooms.

Online casinos also make me feel appreciated and anyone who joins English Harbour will likely feel the same way. English Harbour Casino is giving away a 100% match bonus on the first four deposits of new players. The match bonus has a limit of $800 total — $200 per deposit – but is still plenty of money to get you started playing some great games.

What’s more is that new members will also be automatically entered in their next major tournament event for free. Those major tournaments usually have buy-ins that can get to be expensive sometimes, depending on the size of the tournament.  New players are entered for free, though, and have the chance to win some prizes without risking any money of their own.

The next major tournament is not yet on English Harbour’s promotion calendar, but if it’s anything like the current World Cup slot tournament, it should be fun and potentially lucrative.

To take advantage of the great welcome bonuses and the free slot tournament entry, join English Harbour Casino today.

Fantasy and online slots have always seemed to go together. Thunderstruck and its sequel are two of the most popular slots right now. There are also slots based on fairy tales, the Clash of the Titans, and other works of fantasy.

One popular work of fantasy that has been constantly retold is the tale of Arabian Nights. The story about some guy finding a magic lamp with a wish-granting genie has made it in popular culture thanks in part to Disney’s Aladdin. One of my favorite parts of this story is the magical flying carpet. An online slot at Online Vegas Casino is themed after that story, with an emphasis on the carpet.

Well, you don’t know what we can find on the Magic Carpet slot (I apologize to Steppenwolf). This online casino slot, designed by Vegas Technology, has a background of a moonlit Arabian night, with a flying carpet in the foreground. The online slot has symbols of the flying carpet, Aladdin, the genie, Princess Jasmine, gold coins and more.

Magic Carpet is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $10 per line. It has a jackpot of 4,000 coins, which where Aladdin lived would be enough to retire with. There is not second-screen bonus game, but there are plenty of free-spin bonuses to go around. Getting free spins seems like the kind of wish you’d ask the genie for (if you were a slots addict) and you can get them here. In the game you can win up to 15 free spins.

The Magic Carpet slot has excellent animation and graphics. In fact, too me it looks just as good as the Disney movie. When playing the slot, you can easily drift into a dream, close your eyes, and let the sound take you away (sorry again to Steppenwolf).

To play the Magic Carpet slot, visit Online Vegas Casino today.

Casino tournament prizes come in a variety of forms. Sometimes they are exciting but unoriginal, such as cash prizes. Other times they’re more original but boring, such as giving away an Xbox 360. Sure, it’s an okay gaming console for the few weeks it works before you need to send it to Microsoft for repairs, but as a prize it’s not thrilling. Other times, a casino tournament prize gets your attention and just makes you say “wow, I want that.”

The first “wow” prize that comes to my mind is the tournament where Intercasino is sending people on a trip to space. Though not quite as good as space exploration, Platinum Play Casino is also sending people on a trip. This one is a Mediterranean cruise.

As part of the Oceans 15 promotion, Platinum Play Casino is holding a promotion where players can win an 8-day Mediterranean cruise on board the Holland America’s Noordam, which I’m told is the best cruise liner in the Mediterranean. There are a variety of different events taking place in the Oceans 15 promotion, so you should check the website every day to see what is going on. You can participate in all of the events, a few of the events, or only one, though the more you play in the better your chances of winning. The promotion ends soon – June 15 to be exact – so if you haven’t joined the promotion yet, time is running out.

There are other prizes as well as the cruse, such as a ton of loyalty points, casino credits and Diamond Reward status for life. I know they’re all after the cruise, though. I know I would be.

To take part in the Oceans 15 promotion and take a chance of winning a Mediterranean cruise on the casino’s dime, visit Platinum Play Casino today.

Summer is here and I, for one, am excited. Not even the prospect of hurricane season being upon us can dull my love for the summer. It’s a time when it is expected to be lazy and walk around in a bathing suit and flip flops all day, drinking margaritas on the beach. You can put away your jeans and switch to shorts. It’s a time when you can relax in the warm summer sun.

Of course, where I live it feels like summer all year long, or at least it did until we went through uncharacteristically cold years the last few years. For everyone else, though, summer lets you escape, relax and enjoy your leisure time.

For that reason, I decided to play the Beach Babes slot at Platinum Play Casino. This is one of my favorite online slots because it combines two of my favorite things: beaches and babes. It’s a combo that’s hard to resist, kind of like the snack food Combos, but that’s another topic. Oh, the game also involves online slots, which is another love of mine.

The Beach Babes slot is set on a beach and has a background of sand, clear blue water, umbrellas, palm trees and a blue sky. It is a vision of paradise. The slot features symbols of a various women in bikinis. The group includes a Hawaiian-looking girl with a flower in her hair and holding a surfboard, a buxom blonde with a beach ball and a redhead with a snorkel and mask. For the women, there is also a buff male lifeguard, so it’s not all babes in bikinis, though that’s mostly what the game is (did I mention that I love this game?).

Beach Babes is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $0.25 per line. It has a 10,000-coin jackpot, which makes it a game that can be lucrative. The game looks good because, well, I already mentioned the babes in bikinis, right?

The Beach Babes slot also has a gamble feature. Every time you win money you have the option of either keeping it or risking it with a chance to increase your winnings. The gamble game is the standard card game, where a card is dealt face down and you can either try to guess the color (red, black) to double your winnings or the suit (diamonds, hearts, clubs, spades) to quadruple your winnings.

If you’re stuck at home or in the office and can’t either make it to the beach or watch some Travel Channel show on the best beaches, playing this game is the next best thing. To play the Beach Babes slot, visit Platinum Play Casino today.

I like Riverbelle Online Casino. It has a charming, classy kind of feel to it. The web design is interesting and the ornate borders, writing and the image of the southern-style casino riverboat just makes it seem like a good place to gamble. Add to that their good selection of games and slot tournaments and you have the makings of a great online casino.
When it comes to the slot tournaments, there are two kinds: the Sit ‘n’ Go slot tournaments and the Schedule Tournaments. Both are fun and offer a different kind of play.

In the Sit n’ Go slot tournaments, they start as soon as there are enough people registered to begin. That means the tournaments can begin at any time and at most times there is some slot tournament going on. Because these tournaments are more frequent and have fewer participants, they generally have smaller prizes than the Scheduled Tournaments. However, they also usually have lower entry fees and are quicker (for those with a short attention span).

The Scheduled Slot Tournaments are a bit difference. As the name suggests, these are scheduled in advanced and have a fixed time for their start and completion. Players must register for these slot tournaments in advance, though they can often join at the last minute or even after play has started. These slot tournaments can last several days or even a month long. They tend to have more participants and a larger prize pool.

To take part in any of the slot tournaments, visit Riverbelle Casino today.

Summer is here and you know what that means: It’s time for the Summer Slot Series at English Harbour Casino.

What, that’s not what you were thinking? Okay, maybe you were thinking of lounging on the beach, getting a sunburn, taking a vacation, the kids being out of school, having nothing to watch on TV and stocking up on supplies for hurricane season. That’s what most people associate with summer. For me, though, it’s all about the Summer Slot Series.

English Harbour’s Summer Slot Series is an online slot series with three different tournaments that last throughout the whole summer. The first part runs from June 1 to June 30. This part of the Summer Slot Series takes place on the Funky Chicken online slot. The tournament has an entry fee of $10 and a rebuy for the same amount. Players can rebuy up to 500 times.

Players in the Summer Slot Series tournament compete for a $100,000 prize pool. In the prize pool, the first-place finisher will win $50,000 and the second-place finisher will get $20,000. The player who finishes third will win $7,500 and 17 other players share the rest of the cash prize pool. There are also 255 players who will win loyalty points in the tournament.

Some people may see a $10 buy-in as being a little expensive, but for a  month-long slot tournament with such a large prize pool, I think this is a great deal. To take part in the Summer Slot Series, visit English Harbour Casino today.
