All good things must come to an end. Sometimes they end in a good way, like your football season ending with a championship. Other times they end not so well, like when your engagement is broken off because your fiance left you for the cabana boy. Still, every Monday there is that undeniable feeling that your weekend has been stolen from you and you’ll never get it back. Adding to that feeling is the fact that many casino tournaments are now ending. Or I guess you can look at it in a more positive way:

Slot tournaments are ending soon! This is your last time to enter!

There, I think that’s more positive.

With the weekend over, that means that weekend tournaments are ending. That includes the major weekend tournament at Online Vegas: the Weekend Madness. Ending at 10:45 PM tomorrow night, the $30,000 Guaranteed Weekend Madness tournament is almost over. That means you’re running out of time to claim a part of the $30,000 prize pool. The slot tournament is being played on the Butterflies game and it has a $10 entry fee.

That’s not the only tournament ending, though. Tonight at 7:00 PM the Beat the Bank tournament comes to a close. Played on the Beat the Bank slot, this tournament has an entry fee of $2.50. Players compete for a share of the pot.

If you have not yet entered either of those weekend tournaments, it would be difficult to enter now and earn enough points to win prizes. However, stranger things have happened. Hitting the jackpot could certainly get you there. If you play a whole lot of games and get lucky you can do it as well. Most of the time, though, you have to enter sooner if you want to win. If you played over the weekend and haven’t participated since then, though, your spot on the leader board may be up for grabs. Be sure to go to Online Vegas and check out your status to see if you’re in the running for prizes. You may decide that you have a good chance to win if you simply play more games and win a few more points. With the tournaments ending soon, you should have a good idea of where you stand and how many more points you need to win prizes.

To take part in the tournaments, visit Online Vegas Casino.

It’s a decision that Hugo Reyes could definitely appreciate, but a lot of people think the man is crazy. An online slot player won a progressive jackpot at Jackpot City Casino and now refuses to accept the win. Why? Because of the numbers involved.

The man, who is being called Mr. C, won a prize of $4,444 on the WowPot Microgaming slot. Mr. C is a player of Chinese origin and anyone interested in numerology can probably tell you that the number 4 is considered back luck in China. In Chinese languages, the number 4 is pronounced the same as the word for death. Therefore, numerologists and superstitious people avoid the number at all costs, believing it is a harbinger of death.

You can imagine Mr. C’s dismay when he won a jackpot that is of four fours. Winning over four grand is a great deal, but not if the result is death. As Hurley in Lost learned after winning the lottery using the numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42, winning using cursed numbers isn’t a good thing. For Hurley, the result was the death of his grandfather, the priest at his grandfather’s funeral being struck by lightning, his best friend running off with his girl, his restaurant being hit by a meteorite, his plane crashing on the island and more. For Mr. C, according to his beliefs, accepting the cursed money could result in his death or some other misfortune for his family.

On the other hand, that’s a lot of money to turn down. According to a spokesperson for Jackpot City Casino, the casino is talking to Mr. C to see if they can find a good solution to the problem. I have a few solutions that the online casino might want to consider:

1. Give the money to me. Granted, this may not be the best solution for Mr. C, because he’s still out the money, but I’m not afraid of the number 4 and would gladly accept it.
2. Change the winning amount to $3,333. That number isn’t scary.
3. Give him a bazillion free spins instead.
4. Just laugh and say “Dude, it’s just a number.”

I’m out of ideas.

With the weekend almost here, it’s time to focus on the slot tournaments. I know you’re probably as excited about them as I am. Well, maybe not as excited. I’m excited for two reasons: 1) I love playing in slot tournaments and 2) they give me something to blog about (since this is otherwise a slow news day). If you’re looking for a slot tournament to play in this weekend, I recommend the Slots-tember tournament at VIP Slots Casino.

The tournament began back on September 1 and it runs through the end of the month, ending on September 30. The slot tournament has a $5 entry fee. Players compete for a share of a huge $100,000 prize pool.

Players have a full month to play and earn as many points as they can, with the players atop the leader board taking home big prizes. How big? Well, the tournament winner will get $50,000. That’s not too bad. I can think of a lot of good things I can do with that money. The second-place finisher does pretty well, too, winning $20,000. The prizes get smaller the farther you go down the leader board, but the top 275 players will win some type of prize.

The Slots-tember tournament is played on the Beat the Bank slot game, which is a slot with a bank heist theme. If you win the grand prize in this tournament, no bank robbery will be necessary. In fact, if you put all of that money in the bank, someone else may target your money! Okay, that’s just me being paranoid…

You have all month to play, but you can’t wait too long and hope to make it to the top of the leader board. To take part in the Slots-tember tournament, visit VIP Slots Casino.

It’s a new week and if you’re one of the people who was off on Monday in the United States for Labor Day, it’s the beginning of the work week. At Lucky Red Casino, that means the start of a new casino bonus promotion.

As is often the case at Lucky Red, the casino bonus is different depending on your game of choice. That allows the casino to give you a larger bonus to compensate for your game having a higher house edge. In this case, players of online slots, keno and scratch cards get the best bonus, because they have the worst odds when playing the games. Fans of those games can receive a 60% deposit match bonus, with a maximum limit of $1,000. It is an unlimited bonus, so it can be claimed as many times as is desired. The coupon code for that bonus is PROPOWER. This deposit and bonus must be wagered at least 25 times before a withdrawal can be made.

For players of online blackjack and video poker, Lucky Red is offering a 45% match bonus on the deposits. Again, this is an unlimited bonus with an upper limit of $1,000. The coupon code for this bonus is LUCKYWEEK. Players must wager this deposit and bonus a minimum of 50 times before a cashout is allowed.

For players of any other table games, there is a third bonus available. It is a 50% match bonus on deposits, with a maximum bonus of $1,000, which can be claimed an unlimited number of times. The coupon code for that final casino bonus is BIGWINNING. Before a withdrawal is permitted, players must wager this bonus and deposit at least 40 times.

As always, make sure to enter the correct coupon code with the cashier. If not, you won’t get credit for the deposit and won’t receive the bonus. To take advantage of the casino bonuses, visit Lucky Red Casino.

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.

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.

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.

Being new to an online casino can be a daunting experience, especially if you’re new to online gambling. There are all of these games and they all cost money to play.

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.

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.
