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.

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.

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.

For an online slot aficionado like me, Super Slots Casino should be one of my favorite places to play. I mean, they’re saying right in their name that this is a place to play super slots. Or maybe they’re saying that this is a super place to play slots. In either case, it should be right up my alley. It just so happens that they’re right, but I need more than a convenient name to be won over (though it doesn’t hurt).

One thing that can win me over is a good welcome bonus. Super Slots Casino offers a welcome bonus of up to $2,000 free. Players can receive a 100% match bonus on each of their first four deposits, with a maximum bonus limit of $500 each. That’s a pretty good bonus. Is it super? I’m not sure, but we’re on the right track.

The bonuses don’t stop once you are done with those four deposits, though. The online casino offers weekly bonuses, with a different amount that can be saved each day. On Mondays, players can get a 75% match bonus on their first deposit. Players can get a 50% match bonus on their first deposit every Wednesday. The casino understands the concept of TGIF as well. On Fridays, players can receive a 100% match bonus on their first deposit. The maximum bonus amount on those deposits is $100.

With those deposit bonuses offered three times every week, I think their promotions are pretty super, but there is more. The online casino also has a rewards club that costs nothing to join. As you spend more money at the casino, you gain a better reward status and can receive better rewards. For example, Diamond level players get a 75% bonus every Monday, a 50% bonus every Wednesday and a 100% bonus every Friday. For Diamond level players, the maximum bonus amount of $500. Also, on every other deposit you can get 35% cash back.

I suppose it’s up to you to decide whether this online casino really is as super as they say. In addition to those good bonuses, they have a good collection of slot tournaments, such as the current Summer Slot Series, and a good selection of games.

To take advantage of the deposit bonuses, visit Super Slots 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.

Daytona Gold is a new online slot designed from Top Game and it’s sure to thrill NASCAR fans everywhere. For those not in the know, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the most popular auto racing league in the United States. In NASCAR, there is no track bigger than Daytona, nestled in the Spring Break hotspot that is Daytona Beach, Florida. Each year, Daytona International Speedway hosts two NASCAR races, the Daytona 500 in February and the Coke Zero (previously Pepsi) 400 in July. The Daytona 500 is nicknamed the “Super Bowl of motorsports” and is the biggest race in the circuit.

Now that the background is out of the way, the Daytona Gold slot that tries to capture the event of auto racing. It features symbols of race trucks and cars, a gear shift, keys, the car’s steering wheel and more. The online slot has a background that shows checkered flags at the top of the screen and a car’s dashboard at the bottom.

The Daytona Gold slot is a 5-reel, 15-payline video slot that can be played in denominations ranging from $0.01 to $5 per line. The slot has a jackpot of 12,000 coins. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t offer a multiplier bonus, but it does offer up to 10 free spins.

In the bonus game, you act as the pit crew or maybe even owner of the race car. It’s your job to customize the car and make it into the best racing machine possible. First you have to choose the motor. In the second part, you choose the correct tires for the car. In the third part of the bonus, you choose the paint and then finally you gas up the car. Each selection you make gives you a certain number of bonus points.

Daytona Beach is known for a lot of things, but most of them are bad. It’s known for bad drivers, a large homeless population, a high crime rate, a high rate of drug addiction and disease, and during Spring Break and other special events, a high rate of traffic fatalities, DUI arrests and property damage. The city is also known for its famous race track, which is immortalized in this online slot.

The Daytona Gold slot does a good job of recreating a racing atmosphere while keeping the racing action itself generic and not NASCAR-specific (since other circuits race there as well).
The Daytona Gold slot can be found at Rome Casino.

Microgaming has released three new online slots. One of them, which I already reviewed, is the Lion’s Pride slot. While that slot offers a lot for nature lovers, Argyle Open is a new online slot geared toward sports fans.

I don’t consider myself a gold aficionado, but I did play it when I was a kid. Okay, it was mostly miniature golf, but my dad let me swing the big clubs sometimes, too. We also had a driving range near the house that I got to play at after school.

Anyway, the Argyle Open slot brings back memories of playing golf in my youth and does a good job of portraying a fictional major golf tournament. The slot’s background shows a pristine view, with a landscaped golf course seen under a clear blue sky. The Argyle Open slot features symbols of the crest and logo of the tournament (and thus, the game). It also has symbols of different golfers in different well-known poses. There is one chipping a ball out of a sand trap. There is another golfer celebrating making a put. The slot also has symbols that are close-ups of a golfer’s cleats, the golf bag, and the flag at the hole.

Argyle Open is a 5-reel, 40-payline video slot that features some good bonuses, such as up to 20 free spins and a multiplier bonus. What I like best about this online slot, though, are the bonus games.

There are three different bonus games in this online slot and they all relate to the game of golf. There is a Drive Bonus, where you drive the ball off the tee and hit it as far as you can. The farther it goes, the more bonus points you get. There is also a Fairway Bonus, where you hit the ball on the fairway as far as you can and as close to the hole as you can. You get points for how far the ball travels. Lastly, there is the Putt Bonus, which is a take on my favorite part of the game. In this bonus, you putt the ball and try to get it in the hole. You are rewarded more points for getting it closer to the hole, with the most possible points reserved for actually sinking the putt.

I’ve played golf video games on the Wii and over gaming consoles and to be honest, the bonus games on this online slot are just as much fun. Sure, they’re not as fun as playing the game for real, but at least you won’t get a sunburn this way.

The Argyle Open slot brings all of the fun of a major golf tournament to your home and combines it with exciting online slot action. The game can be found at Roxy Palace Casino.

All Slots Casino has released a few new online slots and they are all exciting and well-made. My favorite is the Lion’s Pride slot. Partly that’s because I love to spend the day watching Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel, watching the wild animals in their native environment. It’s incredibly interesting and entertaining to me.

The Lion’s Pride slot is set in Africa and has a very African look and feel. The background depicts the African plains during sunset and the slot uses earthy hues. The online slot features symbols of various creatures of the African plains, including a male lion, a lioness, a zebra, an antelope and more.

The Lion’s Pride slot has a jackpot of 12,500 coins on normal spins and up to 125,000 coins on free spins (due to the multiplier bonus that accompanies them). The online slot offers a good number of bonuses, such as up to 25 free spins and multipliers of up to 10 times the reward.

I’ve always wanted to go on an African safari, but I tend to get sick when I travel, even if it’s not to a place heavy with malaria and other diseases. For that reason, I enjoy Africa on the TV and with online slots such as this one.

The Lion’s Pride slot has excellent graphics and animation. Each of the animals looks lifelike and the background of the plains at sundown is simply beautiful. To play the Lion’s Pride online slot, visit All Slots Casino.

“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.
