I have a ton of respect for dog catchers. They have a dangerous and thankless job. Everywhere they go, some dog is mad at them and wants to bite them. To make matters worse, people are always mad at them for catching loose dogs! Except the people who called the dog catchers, that is. While I respect dog catchers, I also keep in mind that being caught can be a traumatic experience for the dog, who is suddenly abducted and taken to a strange place. Such is the theme of a quirky new online slot at Sloto’ Cash Casino.

Dog Casher (get it?) is the name of the slot and it follows a dog named Cheri. That dog got bored at home, escaped from her owners’ mansion and was playing with other dogs when a dog catcher scooped her up and took her away.

The rest of the game takes place at the dog pound. The online slot features symbols of Cheri and other dogs who are lonely and homesick. There is also the dog catcher, who didn’t seem to get much rest the right before, because he’s seen taking a nap in his chair. If you take too long between spins, he even begins snoring.

The dog catcher is the wild symbol. Keys to the dog pens are the bonus symbols. Those are used to unlock free spin rounds. During those free spins, you have a chance to earn Cheri and the other dogs their freedom. You can also earn her some good food rather than that bad dog food served at the pound.

Dog Casher is a 3D slot (as in it uses three-dimensional polygons, not as in it pops out of the screen at you) designed by Rival Gaming. To play the new Dog Casher slot, visit Sloto’ Cash Casino.

One of my favorite things in life is going to a classy night club with some good drinks, good jazz music and a sexy singer onstage. Another one of my favorite things is playing online slots. Therefore, I can’t believe I had never played the Lady in Red slot before today! Having played it a few times now, I have to say that I rather like this online slot.

The Lady in Red slot is set in a classy jazz club. The character of the title is a jazz singer who performs onstage in a glamorous red dress… Wait, can I say “glamorous” when describing clothing without sounding gay?…Never mind.

Aside from the lady in red, the online slot also features symbols of a pianist, a camera, a glass of whisky with a man in a suit smoking in the background, and more. I do have one complaint about the game and it is a major complaint. There is no background music. This is a slot set in a jazz club, where the titular character is a singer, it has symbols of instruments, and yet there is no music. In fact, there really isn’t any audio in the game, with the exception of sounds alerting you when you win. I think a good soundtrack featuring someone sounding like Billie Holliday or Etta James would have been perfect and would have made this slot my favorite game.

That complaint aside, I still enjoyed the game. I listened to some good blues and jazz music on my iPod when playing to give the slot that ambience that it is lacking. As for the rest of the game, it is a 5-reel slot with 25 paylines. Players can bet from one cent to $0.50 per spin and the slot has a jackpot of $12,500.

There are a number of bonuses available in the game, including up to 25 free spins. During all free spins, the winning are tripled. The slot also has a multiplier bonus of up to ten times your bet. With the exception of the lack of music, this game is about as good as I can ask for.

To play the Lady in Red slot, visit Roxy Palace Casino.

Now that the Slottery tournament is over, you might be thinking now what? After a month of playing in the large tournament, you might want to take a break. Play some games in regular, non-tournament action. If so, that’s fine, but for me, I’m already looking ahead to the next tournament at VIP Slots Casino.

From October 8 through October 11, VIP Slots is running the Super Market Sweep slot tournament. The Super Market slot is based on the old Supermarket Sweep game show on TV. It’s a show I have fond memories of, sitting there fantasizing about getting to compete on the show. I wished I had the money to buy all of the things they buy, to simply load up a shopping cart without a care about the size of the total due at the cash register. The Super Market Sweep tournament is an online slot tournament based on that game.

The slot tournament has a $5,000 guaranteed prize pool. The first-place winner will get $2,000 and the second-place player will win $1,000. The players who finish third through fifth will win $750, $500 and $250, respectively. The players who finish in sixth through tenth place will earn $100 each.

Oh, did I mention that this is a free slot tournament? That’s right. The Super Market Sweep is a freeroll tournament, so there is no entry fee. If you run out of credits, you can re-buy for $5 an unlimited number of times.

To take part in the Super Market Sweep freeroll tournament, visit VIP Slots Casino.

As much as I love The Lord of the Rings and its accompanying slot game, sometimes you have to take a break from playing the same thing. So I decided to play something totally different: an online slot based on an epic, Academy Award-winning movie featuring sword fighting. Of course I’m talking about the movie Gladiator and the online slot based on it, created by Playtech.

Gladiator is famous for being that movie that made us think that Russell Crowe is cool, before he ruined that by spending a few years making more headlines for being a jerk than for being in good movies. And then, of course, he was in the horrible remake of the classic 3:10 to Yuma and the ridiculous Robin Hood adaptation, so that coolness is now gone. Still, this is the movie where Crowe seemed the epitome of cool as Maximus, the Roman general betrayed and forced to live as a gladiator in order to get revenge against Emperor Commodus, played by Joaquin Phoenix before we thought he was crazy.

The Gladiator slot has everything you would want from a game based on a popular movie. It has symbols of characters from the movie, showing Russell Crowe, Joaquin Phoenix and more in action. It has video clips and audio from the movie. Gladiator is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot that has a variety of bonuses. The Coliseum scatter symbol unlocks a free spin bonus, during which all wins are multiplied by up to 100 times your total bet. The gladiator helmet is the wild symbol and can be substituted for any symbol. Used in the correct combination, the wild symbol also brings you to the Gladiator Bonus round, where you have to slay a tiger.

Okay, I lied about the tiger slaying. The Gladiator Bonus is simply a game where you are given a group of helmets, each with a secret bonus associated with it. You must choose a helmet and you get whichever bonus goes with it. Not terribly exciting, but at least no tigers were harmed. There is also the Coliseum Bonus round, where you throw stones are far as you can and earn bonus points depending on the distance of your throw.

The Gladiator slot can be found at Playtech Casinos, such as Go Casino and Online Vegas Casino.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
