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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Remember Shaaark? That zany online slot that is a play on the lighter side of deadly shark attacks? Yeah, it’s one of the strangest slots I’ve played, but there is an appeal to its oddity. Right now Online Vegas Casino is featuring that slot game in its Weekend Madness tournament.

The Weekend Madness slot tournament begins on Friday, May 14 and runs until 8:00 PM on Tuesday, May 18. This online slot tournament has a $50,000 guaranteed prize pool. $30,000 of that money will be given out as casino credits and the other $20,000 will be awarded as loyalty points.

The Weekend Madness slot tournament has an entry fee of $12.99 and a re-buy of the same amount. That may seem a bit steep, but not when you consider the large prize pool. If you end up with enough points to win prize money, the cost of entering the tournament will have been well worth it.

This is the first time that Shaaark! has been used in slot tournaments, which may mean the relatively obscure game will reach a wider audience. If that’s the case, I wonder what the general reaction will be. Will people say, “Wow, what a cool game. I’ve never seen such a clever concept?” Or will it be “I can’t believe I’ve never thought of turning shark attacks into a cartoon. Why isn’t there a Saturday morning cartoon version of Jaws?” Or will it be “My brother was killed by a shark while surfing and I find this slot to be very offensive?”

Probably not a lot of people will take offense to the game. After all, online slots are controversial by nature, not only because gambling itself is controversial, but also because the themes are often stereotypical.

Whatever your stance on shark attacks and their themes, if you are a fan of money, the Weekend Madness tournament might be a good one to join. To take part in the tournament, visit Online Vegas Casino.

VIP Slots Casino has two good online slot tournaments going on right now that are played on different games with different formats.

The first tournament is the Freeroll Slots Tournament, which began on May 10 and runs until May 17. This tournament is played on the popular online slot Mermaid’s Quest, which has a theme similar to The Little Mermaid.

The Freeroll Slots Tournament has no entry fee – thus the name – and players compete for a prize pool of $3,000. This slot tournament follows a leader board format and at the end of the tournament, those with the most points will win prizes.

The other slot tournament going on at VIP Slots is the famous Slottery. This Slottery tournament began on May 9 and runs until May 16. For this tournament, instead of playing for a guaranteed prize pool, players compete for the pot. That means that the more people that join, the more money is up for grabs. This online slot tournament has a $5 entry fee along with re-buys for the same price. The buy-ins and re-buys are used to generate the pot. This week’s Slottery tournament is played on the Ja Man online slot, which has a Jamaican theme.

To take part in the online slot tournaments, visit VIP Slots Casino today.

Online Vegas Casino is all about Earth Day, saving the planet, planting trees, and all of that stuff. That is why this Earth Day, April 22, they are holding a freeroll online slot tournament to celebrate, um, the Earth, I guess. Actually, it’s probably to raise awareness about pollution or recycling or something.

Anyway, to celebrate the international holiday, Online Vegas is holding the Earth Day freeroll tournament. It is an online slot tournament played on the game Love Bugs and there is no entry fee to play in this competition (thus the term “freeroll”). If you run out of credits and want to keep playing, you can rebuy for $2.50. There are unlimited rebuys available to you.

The Earth Day freeroll slot tournament has a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool, which will by split by the top players in the tournament. If you win money at the tournament, what you do with it is up to you, but I would say you’re encouraged to go out and plant trees. It’s what I would do, anyway. After all, you won money in an Earth Day tournament that you didn’t have to pay to enter.

Later in the month Online Vegas will have the April to May Flowers Weekend Madness tournament, which takes place from April 30 to May 4. The game is played on the online slot game The Reel Deal and has a guaranteed prize pool of $70,000. That tournament has nothing to do with Earth Day, but if you win you can still feel free to plant some trees.

To enter the Earth Day freeroll slot tournament and have a chance to save the planet (okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration), visit Online Vegas Casino today.

For many people, Spring Cleaning is a big part of April. I’ve never understood why, because I’ve always thought that it was best to keep things nice and clean all year, but I guess not everyone feels that way. Clearly my ex didn’t feel that way, because she had no problem leaving her dirty clothes all over the bedroom floor.

Anyway, to honor the concept of Spring Cleaning, English Harbour Casino is holding an online slot tournament called The Spring Clean-up. No, I don’t know why cleanup is hyphenated. Anyway, the tournament started on April 1 and runs until April 30.

The online slot tournament is played on the game Tiki Lounge, which is an island-themed game that reminds me a lot of Gilligan’s Island. Tiki Lounge is a 5-reel, 25-payline online slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $10 per line. The jackpot for this online slot is 5,000 coins, which would certainly put you pretty high on the leader board for this tournament.

The Spring Clean-Up slot tournament has an entry fee and rebuy of $10. That gives you a balance of $75 to play with. Slot players compete for a $50,000 prize pool, with the first-place player winning half of that ($25,000 for the mathematically challenged). In all, the prize pool will be split among the top 275 players in the tournament.

To take part in the Spring Clean-up online slot tournament, visit English Harbour Casino today.

I love playing slots and when I’m in the groove, I can spend hours at an online casino, playing spin after spin. The problem is that can get expensive, because of all of the wagers you have to make to play for that long. Wouldn’t it be nice of the casino recognized that and gave you some money back as reward for playing?

Some places do and All Slots Casino is doing exactly that right now. From April 14 to April 20, the online casino is holding the Slots All Star Competition, where players get rewarded for doing something they do anyway: wager money.

The Slots All Star Competition is an online slot tournament that keeps track on the amount of money you wager and rewards the top spenders. If you’re lucky, you also win money off the slots themselves, in which case it would be a win-win situation. Anyone who enters the tournament plays the online slots like normal, but the casino keeps track of all of the wagers you make and you accumulate points as you go. The contest follows a leader board format and the players at the top of the board at the end of the tournament will take home prizes.

In all, the top 100 betters in the tournament will win prizes from the 5,000-credit prize pool. The first-place finisher will win 1,000 credits and the second-place finisher will earn 500 credits. There is a drop-off after that, as you would expect for a tournament that rewards 100 players instead of a few. The leader board can be followed online at All Slots Casino.

If you are a fan of online slots and were going to play anyway, this tournament can be a great way to earn prizes for doing nothing extra. To join the tournament, visit All Slots Casino today.
