Good Slots Tournaments come in pairs according to VIP Casino

Posted on by

VIP Casino has been under the banner of Cryptologic for some time now and since it is operating under a license granted by Malta, it is actually one of the more trusted and reputable casinos out there. Good slots tournaments are hard to come by in general, but VIP Casino has had an excellent track record when it comes to creating tournaments that people really enjoy. They are attempting to go one further in that streak in March by taking two of their best slot machines and creating online slots tournaments based around those two machines.

According to VIP Casino, “good things come in pairs” and in the case of this particular tournament scheme the pair they are talking about are Millionaire’s Club and Bejeweled. Millionaire’s Club is an online slot machine that virtually all Cryptologic fans are aware of because of its excellence whereas Bejeweled is a slot machine that has been able to cash in on the popularity of the skill game of the same name in order to create an online slot machine sensation. Cryptologic is at their best when they create games like these and therefore it is fitting that in an attempt to extend their good slot machine tournament streak even further, VIP Casino chose to turn to the best and brightest weapons that it had in its arsenal.

The month started off with the Millionaire’s Club tournament which has been scheduled to go from March 1st through to March 15th. The entry fee for the tournament was $10, although the eventual winner of the tournament will get a chance to multiply that amount by fifty with the $500 grand prize that will be awarded on the 15th. The second place finisher will get $250 as their prize and the people that finished 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th will all be awarded a $50 prize for their efforts. The tournament format and prize structure will be exactly the same for the Bejeweled tournament which will begin on March 16th and continue through to the end of the month.

Overall, it looks as though VIP Casino has struck gold again with their tournaments this month. The Millionaire’s Club tournament has been quite popular and there is every reason to think that Bejeweled, which is the more popular of the two in cash game format, will be able to pick up any slack when the 16th of March rolls around.

InterCasino to host three major tournaments during the month of March

Posted on by

InterCasino is an operation that was initially created by Cryptologic and holds the title of being the first online casino to be fully functional within the history of the online gambling industry. That having been said, it is really the fast pace at which InterCasino comes up with new ideas that keeps people coming back to play there month after month and March 2009 is no exception to this rule as it will bear witness to three specialty tournaments during the month of March.

The first tournament has already started and is scheduled to end on March 10th. It is a tournament that is based on the Street Fighter slot machine, one of the most popular online slot machines to ever be created. The entry fee for this particular tournament is $10, with the $500 prize pool being split into $250, $100 and $25 prizes for places one, two and three through eight respectively.

Once that tournament ends on the 10th, it will hand the reigns over to the St. Patrick’s Day themed tournament that will occupy the middle of the month of March. It will run until the 17th of March and therefore culminate in a big celebration of St. Patrick’s Day through awarding the prizes that are won. In order to honor this particular day however, InterCasino is going into their vault and pulling out one of their most treasured games and that is the Luck of the Irish online video slot machine. This is different from Luck O’ the Irish, an online video slot machine with a similar theme but created by a different source.

Finally, March 18th will see the commencement of the final tournament in the month of March and the third tournament in the month will run to the end of it. InterCasino has one of the most popular casino poker games around in Multi-Player Texas Hold ‘Em Bonus Poker and that is the game that will be on display at InterCasino races towards the end of the month with what will likely by then already be a successful campaign for the third month of the year.

Players that are interested in getting in on the action should start their scoping now as there are likely going to be a number of players interested in playing these three tournaments. While InterCasino has not stipulated an entrance limit, chances are very good that their servers will not be able to handle as many players as might want to play in one of the three tournaments.

March Madness – Mega Online Slots Tournament at Millionaire Casino

Posted on by

Millionaire Casino has long been known as one of the most reliable online casinos around, mostly because of the fact that they combine a good name with great service and in doing so have the ability to both inspire their customers and set their hearts at ease. However, Millionaire Casino is reaching for bigger things in 2009 as starting in March they will be running a monster online slots tournament with a guaranteed prize pool reaching up into the ridiculous at $250,000. This guarantee is even more ridiculous when you consider the fact that the tournament has buy-in and re-buy amounts of $10 each as well as freeroll buy-ins into satellites with $2 re-buys in those same tournaments.

Millionaire Casino has started referring to the tournament as March Madness and indeed the word madness could have many different forms in relation to the tournament, starting with the madness of hosting a tournament with a guaranteed prize pool that large!  That having been said however, the name is obviously a take-off from the college basketball tournament that carries the same name. By choosing this particular name, Millionaire Casino has set itself up to go head-to-head with this particular college basketball institution, a play that is already allowing it to receive a number of different publicity pieces that it would not have gotten otherwise. At the end of the day though this is easily a victory for Millionaire Casino because the tournament timelines are fluid enough that people can log on and play in the Millionaire Casino tournament after they have finished watching their games for the day.

The overall tournament will be played on The Reel Deal slot machine. The Reel Deal is one of the online slots created by Vegas Technology and indeed it is one of the best online slots created by that particular company. It has a number of excellent aspects to it, not the least of which is the fact that as far as online slots are concerned, The Reel Deal is very nice to look at visually. Players will be playing against each other rather than the house and in the end that means that the Millionaire Casino will be awarding that entire prize pool out to the different people that are able to place high when the tournament finishes. Regardless of who ends up winning the tournament, Millionaire Casino has already won through all of the positive publicity they have received, even before the tournament has started.

Golden Casino to host Special Week Long Online Slots Tournament for Valentine’s Day

Posted on by

Golden Casino is known for many things, but in player terms it is perhaps best known for all of the different online tournaments it is responsible for creating. There are not many online casinos around that have the ability to build up a player base through online casino tournaments, but Golden Casino over the years has displayed a remarkable ability to do just that.

In fact, one of their main tournaments, known as the Weekend Madness Tournament, has become one of the most celebrated tournaments not just amongst online casinos, but amongst online gambling sites in general. This tournament is a very simple tournament format that starts on Friday, ends on Tuesday and awards a prize pool of at least $30,000 over the course of that entire span of time. The tournament is a re-buy tournament with an initial entry fee of $20 for 325 credits and a re-buy option for the same amount. In the month of February, the first week will see the tournament played on the Cherry Blossoms online slot machine with the third and fourth weeks having tournaments respectively played on the Magic Carpet online slot machine and the Coral Cash online slot machine.

The second week is a bit of a unique situation this month because the second tournament contains Valentine’s Day. Since many couples enjoy online gambling together on this particular occasion, Golden Casino has decided to go ahead and create a special tournament (from 13th February to 20th February) just for Valentine’s Day. The online slot machine that will be used for this tournament is Cupid’s Arrow which is a slot machine that has a perfect theme for a tournament that is being extended for special promotions centered on the Valentine’s Day calendar date.

There are many special aspects to this particular tournament. For starters, Golden Casino’s typical minimum prize pool of $30,000 has been more than doubled to $70,000, which gives all those couples out there a unique opportunity to win some money for celebrations of their love for each other. In addition to this increase however, the entry cost for the tournament has been reduced from $20 to $0.99, with the re-buy amount having been increased to $25. This means that unless you re-buy more than three times in the tournament, you will save money overall. That fact alone makes this a remarkable offer from an online casino that is known for great online tournaments.
