Lord of the Rings slot tournament at Platinum Play
To celebrate the launch of the new Lord of the Rings slot, which was released yesterday, Platinum Play Casino is holding a promotion. People have been talking about this slot for a while and it seems that the online casino is just as excited as we are.
From now until September 28, Platinum Play Casino will reward players who wager the most money on the new Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring online slot game. Yes, that is a really long title. The online casino is giving out over $11,000 in casino credits during the promotion as well as DVD box sets and more. Each week, the player who wagers the most on the Lord of the Rings slot will win 1,500 casino credits and a set of tickets for International Casino Games. In addition, any time you play the game on a Sunday or Monday during September, you have a chance of winning an instant prize of 25 credits or a DVD box set for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. You can also earn up to quadruple rewards points for playing the game.
But how is the game? Is it really one slot to rule them all? Maybe. At least it’s really good, but this is coming from someone who has the books and movies, so I’m a Tolkien fan. For any fan of the books and movies, this Microgaming-powered online slot, based on the Fellowship of the Ring movie, should be a treat. It is a 5-reel slot with 243 ways to win, instead of normal paylines.
The Lord of the Rings slot features symbols of various characters from the movie, including Frodo, Sam, Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf and more. Of course the ring is featured as well. The slot shows video clips from the movie as the reels spin and when a character is used in a winning combination, it cuts to a video clip of that character in action. There is also a creepy clip that happens when the Eye of Sauron appears on the feels. When that happens, the eye fills the screen and you can hear his voice say “I see you.”
To play the new Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring online slot game and take part in the casino promotion, where you can win $1500 and more, visit Platinum Play Casino.
Deal or No Deal slot at English Harbour
Today I played the Reel Deal slot at English Harbour Casino, which is an online slot based on the popular Deal or No Deal TV show. To be honest, I never watched that show. It never seemed interesting to me. There is no skill involved and players basically just guess how much money is in a briefcase. There are no trivia questions or anything that makes the game anything other than dumb luck. Yes, I realize that you can say the same thing for online slots, but I don’t watch other people play them on TV. I would rather watch Gold Case, the ill-fated game show created by Kenneth, the page on 30 Rock, where contestants must guess which briefcase held by a model contains bars of gold (it turns out that gold is really heavy, so the game was really easy).
Anyway, today I played the Reel Deal slot and it does a good job of recreating the popular game show. It features symbols of cash, a phone for calling the banker, a Deal button, a silhouette of the banker, a happy contestant and more.
The Reel Deal slot is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $10 per line. The slot has a $100,000 jackpot. There is also a fun interactive bonus game where, like in the show, you have to decide whether or not to make a deal and either receive whatever reward goes with the briefcase or take the money offered by the banker. The online slot also features free spin bonuses and a multiplier bonus.
If you’re a fan of the Deal or No Deal TV show – and I don’t know why you would be – then you should love this online slot. If not, you’ll probably still like it. The game combines the fun of playing in a game show, which is much more fun than watching it, with the fun of playing an online slot. To play the Reel Deal slot, visit English Harbour Casino.
Slottery tournament at Super Slots
There are only a few days left in the current phase of the Slottery tournament at Super Slots Casino. Don’t worry, though, because the next part of the slot tournament begins as soon as that one ends. It’s part of a month-long slot tournament that helps players beat the August heat by staying in and playing some slots.
On August 22, the current part of the Slottery tournament will end. This part of the slot tournament is played on the Last King of Egypt game. There is a $5 entry fee and players compete for a share of the pot. Once that part of the Slottery tournament ends, though, the fourth and final part of the tournament begins.
From August 22 through August 29, Super Slots Casino is running the final part of the Slottery tournament. It is played on the Solomon’s Mines slot. Like the rest of this tournament, the final phase has an entry fee of $5 and players compete for a share of the pot.
The Solomon’s Mines slot is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot with a jackpot of 2,000 coins. The online slot has a multiplier bonus, free-spin bonus and a treasure hunt bonus feature.
If a week-long slot tournament isn’t your style, the online casino also has daily slot tournaments. They are the Play for the Pot tournaments and then run every day. They have a $3 entry fee and players compete for the pot, which is smaller than on the Slottery tournament because the tournament doesn’t last as long (so there aren’t as many players buying in).
Tomorrow’s Play for the Pot slot tournament is played on the Eastern Dragon slot. The next day, August 20, it is played on the Cash Caboose slot.
To take part in the Slottery tournament and play for some prize money, visit Super Slots Casino.
New Palace Groupie online slot
Spin Palace Casino has a new online slot designed by Microgaming. The new slot is called Palace Groupie and though it was made by Microgaming, it can’t be found at any of their casinos except members of the Palace Group, which includes Spin Palace.
The Palace Groupie slot is an online slot with a rock and roll theme. It reminds me of some of my favorites movies, like Almost Famous and Rock Star, where you see a popular band make it big and all of the groupies who want to get with them. That’s sort of what this game is about.
The Palace Groupie slot features symbols of different band members, a head set, backstage pass, music fans (or groupies), and more. While you play, sounds of a rock concert can be heard in the background. The online slot does a good job of re-creating the feel of a rock concert at an intimate venue, where you are up close and personal with the band.
The Palace Groupie is a 5-reel slot. Instead of using paylines, there are 243 different ways to win in this game, making it slightly more confusing if you try to figure out how to win, but since slots are random it really doesn’t matter. The online slot has a 30,000 coin jackpot, which can reach up to 90,000 during free spins, because all wins are tripled during free spins.
The online slot has a free-spin bonus and multiplier bonuses. It also offers a gamble feature, where you can risk any money you win with a chance to add to it.
If you’re in the mood for some rock star action, the Palace Groupie online slot, found at Spin Palace Casino, may be the thing for you.
Doo-Wop Daddy-o slot at Sloto’ Cash
Sloto’ Cash Casino has a new online slot on the way that brings back the spirit of the 1950’s. The slot is called Doo-Wop Daddy-O and it has all the sights and sounds of the era. The setting is a malt shop or diner in the 50’s and the look is decidedly retro, complete with 50’s-style neon signs.
The Doo-Wop Daddy-O slot features symbol of girls in poodle skirts, jukeboxes, roller skates, records, milk shakes, a greaser, some soda jerks and more. It looks like a scene from Happy Days or maybe Pleasantville before those outsiders decided changing everything. The online slot also has a soundtrack of pop music from that time period.
Doo-Wop Daddy-O is a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot. It has a jackpot of 15,000 coins per line, which can be up to $37,500 total. The game can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $0.25 per line.
The 50’s-themed online slot has free spins and multiplier bonuses. It also has a skilled bonus round, were you can earn bonuses depending on your performance. The Drag Race Bonus is the game and in it, you race your hotrod against another car, presumably racing for “pinks; you know, ownership papers.” I suggest putting the pedal to the metal, because “the rules are, there aren’t no rules.”* You get a better bonus if you beat your opponent.
*Sorry for the cheesy Grease references. I haven’t even seen the movie recently, I swear.
The new online slot will launch on August 24. At that time, you can find it at Sloto’ Cash Casino and other casinos that use the Rival Gaming software.
VIP Slots’ summerlong online slot tournament continues
For those of you who are unaware, the Summer Slots Series tournament is going on at VIP Slots Casino right now. If you don’t know then shame on you! Don’t you read my blog?
Anyway, the Summer Slots Series is an online slot tournament that runs throughout the entire summer. The four-round promotion began June 1, with the tournament being played on the Funky Chicken slot. Part two of the tournament took pat on the Shaaark slot from July 1 through July 31. On August 1, the third part of the tournament began and it will run until the end of the month.
Right now, the slot tournament is taking place on the California Gold slot. Players earn points for winning spins in the tournament and the competition has a leader board format. Those with atop the leader board at the end of the tournament will win prizes.
For this third part of the tournament, there is $175,000 in prizes up for grabs. The first-place finisher will win $75,000 and the second and third-place finishers will win $25,000 and $10,000, respectively. The top 800 players in the tournament will win some kind of prize.
In addition to this final part of the tournament, there is also a fourth part, where the Summer Slots Overall Prize is awarded. Here, the player with the most overall points, combining all three parts of the tournament will win an extra $75,000. If you have not yet joined the tournament, I don’t imagine you can win this prize. However, all of the first three parts of the tournament are separate, so there is still plenty of time for you to join part three and win prize money on the California Gold slot.
The Summer Slots Series tournament can be played at VIP Slots Casino.
August Kickoff slot tournament at Go Casino
The beginning of August means a lot of things. For some it means back-to-school shopping. For others it means football minicamp. For others it means “wow, it’s going to get even hotter?” Still others think of August as the time they usually get hit by hurricanes. Some (though few) associate August with my birthday. None of those have anything to do with the slot tournament at Go Casino, which is good, because with the exception of football, all of those were bad things.
You can always count on Go Casino to have some good casino tournament going on. You know those people who will hold a party to celebrate basically anything? Go Casino is kind of that way. Therefore, they’re really excited about August and are holding the August Kickoff $15,000 Guaranteed tournament. The slot tournament began yesterday, August 1, and runs through Friday, August 6, ending at 8:00 PM.
The August Kickoff slot tournament has an entry fee of $8.99, which buys you 300 credits with which to wager. If you run out of credits and want to buy more, you can re-buy for an additional $8.99. As the name indicates, this slot tournament has a $15,000 prize pool in guaranteed money.
The August Kickoff slot tournament is played on the Butterflies game. That online casinos slot has a bright, colorful theme that can easily be associated with the summer. The Butterflies slot is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot featuring butterflies, caterpillars, flowers, mushrooms and other things you associate with the nature found in a field.
To take part in the August Kickoff $15,000 Guaranteed tournament, visit Go Casino.
Two new Playtech online slots have me excited
It’s almost like the guys at Playtech can read my mind and know exactly what games I want to play. They released two new online slots recently that have me super excited. Short of slot games involving monkeys or robots, this is about as good as it gets. The two new online slots are the Pink Panther and Penguin Vacation.
The Pink Panther slot is based on the children’s cartoon TV show that was based on the movie about a fictional pink diamond. It features symbols of Inspector Clouseau in cartoon form with a big head and bigger nose as well as both pink panthers (the animal and the diamond). The Pink Panther slot is a 5-reel, 40-payline online slot with a good number of free spin bonuses and multiplier bonuses. It also features one of the best theme songs ever, the score from the Pink Panther movie and show. That famous theme song can be heard while you’re playing the slot, which brings a new level of excitement and authenticity to the game.
The other game that has me excited is also about an animal – this time a penguin. As anyone who regularly reads my ramblings on this here blog knows, I have a thing for online slots with animal themes, especially monkeys. If it has a monkey, I probably like it. However, the monkey isn’t actually my favorite animal. That would be the penguin, an animal that truly knows how to have fun. Every time I’ve seen penguins in the zoo, they seem to be having a good time. They’re sliding around or swimming or just being goofy. Sure, in the Arctic Circle they don’t seem too happy when crowded together to keep warm, but that just shows they need to move to warmer climates, like my backyard! Now that would be a good Penguin Vacation…
…Which is a good segue to talking about the Penguin Vacation slot. Penguin Vacation is a 5-reel, 20-payline online slot that has a jackpot of 10,000 coins. The game has a theme that shows various penguins as tourists, wearing Hawaiian shirts with cameras strapped around their necks, packing suitcases covered in snow and ice, going down slides at water parks and more.
The Penguin Vacation slot also features a bonus game, where you go ice fishing. There are multiple holes in the ice and you have to choose which holes to put your line in. Those with more fish give you more bonuses, which can be up to 33 free spins or up to a 15x multiplier.
If you are a fan of pink panthers or vacationing penguins, these new online slots should be right up your alley. I can’t wait for the next batch of Playtech games.
Online slot: All Aboard at Sloto’ Cash
Sloto’ Cash Casino is welcoming you “all aboard” their new online slot from Rival Gaming. The game is called All Aboard and it has a railroad theme. Most boys grow up being fascinated by trains, play with a toy train set in the living room and are excited the first time they get to ride one. Not me. Still, for most guys, playing this game would bring back nostalgia for that time of innocence, when you were thrilled with the sound of a train whistle and the chug, chug, chugging of the engine.
The All Aboard slot is based on old, classic trains. There are no electric trains or high-speed rails here. A light rail? I don’t think so. These are old-fashioned coal-powered trains that make a lot of noise and take a good 20 minutes to get from zero to 60. The All Aboard slot has symbols of the locomotive, caboose and other parts of the train, along with a whistle, railroad crossing sign, train station bell and more. Adding to the ambience of this online slot is the soundtrack, which features sounds of a running train, warning bell, whistle and more.
All Aboard is a 5-reel, 20-payline online slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $0.25 per line. That means players can bet from one penny to $50 on each spin. The more you bet, the more you win when you get winning combinations, but of course you also lose more on the losing spins.
The All Aboard slot has some good bonuses, including free spin bonuses, were you can win 10, 20 or 40 free spins. More good news is that during your free spins, your winnings are multiplied by two, three or four times.
The online slot also has a bonus game called the Bell Bonus. This feature is unlocked by getting three or more warning bells on the reels during one of your spins. When that happens, you are taken to a second screen, where you are shown a train with nine boxcars. Eight of the boxcars an unknown number of credits inside, but one of them is empty. You then choose the boxcars one at a time and receive whatever bonus is inside. As soon as you choose the empty car, though, the bonus game is over.
If you’re one of those people who played with a toy train set as a kid, you will probably love this new online slot from Rival. It has all the sights and sounds of the railroad and some pretty good bonuses to go with it. The All Aboard slot can be found at Sloto’ Cash Casino.
Microgaming casino hosts largest freeroll tournament
I was going through casino news today looking for some good slots tournaments and there aren’t a whole lot to choose from at the moment. It seems that most of the slot tournaments either ended this weekend or are ongoing but something I’ve already written about. Then I stumbled across something big. By that, I mean record-setting big.
Maple Casino is holding an online slot tournament on the popular Thunderstruck game. It’s not just any tournament, though. According to the online casino, it is the largest freeroll slot tournament in history.
Running from Monday, July 26 until Tuesday, August 3, Maple Casino is holding a €25,000 freeroll slot tournament on the Thunderstruck slot. There is obviously no entry fee and all players who join the tournament are given five minutes to play 3,000 coins. If players have enough time to wager more oney after using up those 3,000 coins, they can re-buy an unlimited number of times for a cost of €10, which will award them an additional 2,000 coins. Of course, since you only have five minutes to play, I’m not sure how many times you can actually re-buy.
The €25,000 prize pool will be shared by the top 75 players in the slot tournament. The first-place finisher will win €5,000. The second and third-place finishers will win €2,500 and €2,000, respectively. Certainly not bad prizes considering it doesn’t cost anything to play in this tournament.
Maple Casino is an online casino that utilizes Microgaming’s software. Thunderstruck is one of the most popular online slots in the industry and has a theme of Norse mythology, including Thor, the God of Thunder.
