Every month Silver Oak Casino holds a Featured Game Competition. During the month, there is a featured game for one week at a time and players get credit for the money they win on that game. At the end of the tournament, players win prizes for how they fare. The first prize is a $250 reward, in addition to whatever money you won playing the casino game. The second prize is $150. The prizes go down to spot number 15, where the player wins $75.

The first two featured games were White Rhino, for August 1-7, and Mice Dice, for August 8-14. The current game is called Coat of Arms. That is the featured game starting today, August 15, until Sunday, August 21. The game has a medieval theme, featuring knights in shining armor jousting, fighting and protecting fair maidens.

The final featured game of the month is called Basketbull and it is featured from Monday, August 22 to Sunday, August 28. The online slot features bovine basketball players. The description on Silver Oak Casino’s website says “shoot some hoops with the baddest ball-hogging Bull in town with our new game ‘Basketbull.’ Hmm… Are they talking about Michael Jordan? He was always the biggest ball-hog and was a legend with the Chicago Bulls. Of course, he’s long since retired, so maybe the game is talking about Derek Rose, the Bulls’ current shoot-first point guard. “Set up your own assist so you can take your shot at the big time today.” I actually have seen Rose pass to himself, so it could be about him.

In any case, if you are going to play online slots at Silver Oak Casino, it is best to play the featured game so you have a chance of winning prize money. The winners from the previous week are notified on each Monday. Silver Oak is a top online casino that utilizes the Realtime Gaming (RTG) software.

Bodog Casino knows a thing or two about sizzling hotness. I mean, have you seen the Bodog Girls? For that reason, when we at OnlineCasinoSuite.com heard about the Summer 4Play promotion, we were all ears. After all, a hot summer vacation in paradise on Bodog’s dime? That’s hard to beat. Bodog members have a chance to earn up to $100 in cash prizes and a shot at a summer trip every week.

The promotion last four weeks, with a winner getting a trip for two to a different destination each week. All you have to do is play the game of the week and you can earn entry in the raffle. The more tickets you earn, the better your chances of being selected in the raffle.

The first round was for Miami and it ran from August 1 through August 7. The current tournament is for Las Vegas. This tournament runs from August 8 to August 14. Members can play Reel Blood or any slot other machine. For every $10 in handle from an online slot, you will receive one ticket in the raffle. For every $10 handle in the Reel Blood slot, you earn two tickets. If you earn 100 tickets, you get a $25 cash prize. In the end, one winner will win a trip for two to Las Vegas.

If Las Vegas isn’t exotic or exciting enough for you, the next contest is for a trip to Cancun. The promotion runs from August 15 to August 21. The featured games for that tournament are Let ‘em Ride or any other video poker game. You will receive one ticket for every straight or flush that you get on either Let ‘em Ride or another video poker game. In addition, you will receive one ticket for every $100 in handle for those games. If you earn 25 tickets, you also get a cash prize.

Ibiza is the location of the last tournament. This time you can play any game in the casino from August 22 to August 28. Players will receive one ticket for every $100 in handle from every different game. You will also get one ticket for every $100 wagered. If you earn 25 tickets, you will win a $25 cash prize.

Unfortunately, I checked into it and if you’re single they won’t have one of the Bodog girls accompany you to the hot summer location. The good news is, with a free ticket to any of those locations, you should be able to get a date. Visit Bodog Casino to take part in the promotion.

The first rule of the Fight Club promotion is you do not talk about the Fight Club promotion. The second rule of the Fight Club promotion is you do not talk about the Fight Club promotion! I’m going to break both of those rules by letting you know about the new promotion at All Slots Casino.

All Slots Casino is taking the popular world of online slots into the basement for some bare-fisted faceoffs. Each week, two online slots go head to head. Players pick one of the two games to play. The players that make it near the top of the leader board will win prizes. However, those players who play the more popular game win double prizes. That means you want to earn your points playing the game that you think more people want to play.

If you want to take your mind off your job and your life as the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world, playing in this slot tournament would be a good way of doing it. The tournament lasts nine weeks, with nine rounds of 18 slot games facing off. In total, 120 players will walk away with prizes. It’s a tough head-to-head tournament, so be prepared for aggressive play. Don’t hold anything back. Remember, on a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone falls to zero.

Each week, the tournament starts over with two new online slots fighting it out, so you can join then and still win. The scoreboard is updated every 30 minutes and you can check your status at any time. If you win, you’ll have plenty of new spending money. You can flip through catalogs and wonder what kind of dining set defines you as a person. Just remember: The things you own end up owning you.

One of Virgin Casino’s favorite ways to launch a new online slots game is to do it with a promotion. And their launch of 300 Shields is no different.

This five reel online slots game, which was created by Microgaming a few months back, carries a theme that was based on the popular movie of the same name which depicts the historic battle between 300 Spartan warriors and 10,000 Persian troops. Virgin Casino is powered by my multiple online casino software companies, although they do not have each developer’s full lineup of best online casino games. This means that Virgin Casino is capable of offering players games from Microgaming through their QuickFire platform, and 300 Shields is one of those Microgaming online slots games.

Players will be pleased to hear the 300 Shields launches today. To celebrate the launch of this new online slots game at Virgin Casino, they are offering players the chance to earn a bonus prize starting at £10 and worth a maximum of £650. The bonus prizes are awarded based on a tier system which determines prizes based on how much an online slots player wagers:

Tier 1: wager £500 minimum for a bonus of £10
Tier 2: wager £2,500 minimum for a bonus of £50
Tier 3: wager £5,000 minimum for a bonus of £100
Tier 4: wager £7,500 minimum for a bonus of £150
Tier 5: wager £10,000 minimum for a bonus of £220
Tier 6: wager £12,500 minimum for a bonus of £300
Tier 7: wager £15,000 minimum for a bonus of £360
Tier 8: wager £17,500 minimum for a bonus of £430
Tier 9: wager £20,000 minimum for a bonus of £500
Tier 10: wager £25,000 minimum for a bonus of £650

Players have from now until 23:59 on July 22nd to wager into one of the tiers. Not every single online slots game is eligible for this slots promotion. Players must wager on 300 Shields or one of the other 31 online slots games listed at Virgin Casino that are eligible for this slots promotion. All players who wager into one of the tiers will receive their bonuses by 5pm on July 25th.

With the World Series of Poker well underway, the 42^nd edition of the annual tournament is on pace for a record year. In terms of both number of contestants and prize money awarded, the world’s biggest poker tournament is headed for the biggest year in its history if the trend continues.

The World Series of Poker began on May 31 and the Main Event doesn’t take place until July 7. The tournament has 58 events, with 30 having been played so far. Through the first 30 events, the number of participants is up 11.7% from last year. A total of 33,173 poker players have participated in the events so far. The prize money from player buy-ins is also up, a 8.6% increase to $55.88 million through the first 30 events. The Main Event is the biggest in the tournament and normally attracts thousands of players and the largest buy-ins. With that still to come, most are predicting a record-setting year for the World Series of Poker.

Some have remarked that the popular poker tournament is having a record year despite the federal crackdown on online poker sites on Black Friday, Blue Monday and other days. However, you could also easily say that it is a big year because of the crackdown. With Americans having fewer options for playing poker online, attendance at the poker rooms of brick and mortar casinos has been up. It is easy to imagine players who normally participate in poker tournaments online for the first time going to the World Series of Poker to play in person.

If the tournament keeps at its current pace, it will set a record with 72,966 participants and over $187.1 million in prize money. Ty Stewart, executive director of WSOP, said that he is humbled by the incredible turnout and he “couldn’t be more excited to open the doors for the WSOP and put the focus back on the felt where it belongs.”

Let’s look away from what is happening in the United States. We are not going to talk about Black Friday or Blue Monday or where the seized online gambling money went. Instead we are going to look at something fun and happy: an online casino group who is giving away a few iPad2s.

The online casino group that is offering the iPad2 give away is the Jackpot Factory Group, and it is being offered at four of their online casinos: All Slots Casino, All Jackpots Casino, Wild Jack Casino and First Web Casino. Entry into this give away is not hinged on playing any online casino games however. It is based on signing up with this Microgaming powered online casino group.

An iPad2 will be given away quarterly from the Jackpot Factory Group as a whole, not from each individual online casino. In order to be eligible, players must sign up at one of the four named online casinos and deposit $30; doing so will give the new player one ticket for the drawing. Players can have up to four tickets to their name, but it requires signing up and depositing at least $30 at each of the four online casinos. Then at the end of each quarter, a winner will drawn.

On the whole this is a rather forward way of increasing the membership of the Jackpot Groups online casinos. We here at onlinecasinosuite.com would all like to have iPad2 s too, but as we live in the US we are not eligible. Remember that part about the Jackpot Factory online casinos being powered by Microgaming? Yes, that means that none of them except players from the US. It is just a Microgaming thing.

But if you do not live in the US then you are green-lighted to sign up and enter yourself into the drawing. Questions about the iPad2 giveaway can be directed to any of the customer support staffs of the four online casinos. The first drawing will take place on June 30th.

May is off to a pretty good start, unless you’re a terrorist. News broke late last night that U.S. Navy SEALs had killed Osama bin Laden in a raid in Pakistan. Though the violent death of a human being is normally a bad thing, most people on the planet are willing to make an exception in this case, so there have been celebrations, sighs of relief and for many, a sense of closure.

No online casino can top that news. All promotions and tournaments will only seem trivial. But if you want to take a break from spending all day watching the news and reading about the raid, you might want to play some casino games. If that’s the case, there are some good tournaments at Millionaire Casino.

Today is the start of this week’s Slottery tournament, which runs every Tuesday through Friday. The Slottery tournament has a $5 entry fee and a share of the pot is up for grabs. The Slottery this week is played on the Fire Hawk slot, which is a game with a Native American tribal theme.

Later in the month is the big Memorial Day eMailer tournament, which is a free tournament with a $7,500 prize pool. Until then, there are other tournaments to keep an eye on. Every Monday through Thursday, you can paly in the Head2Head blackjack tournament, which has a $5 entry fee, or the Jacks or Better Challenger video poker tournament. That tournament also has a $5 buy-in. There are also a number of daily slot tournaments that range from $1 to $3 to enter.

Not everyone thinks of May as being a big month in terms of holidays or special events that cause online casinos to create special online slots tournaments. But they would be wrong. This May is big when it comes to the special online slots tournaments. Four of the eight featured online slots tournaments this month are not regular tournaments.

First up is the online slots tournament going on right now. It is the May Kickoff tournament. Go Casino used to kickoff tournaments all the time but then suddenly stopped, giving way to only offering Weekend Madness tournaments. But now, at least for May, the monthly kickoff is back. Players can pay $6.99 for a $300 tournament balance to spin the reels of 5 Reel Wheel of Chance. The May Kickoff is already underway and runs until 10:30 pm on Friday, May 6th. So there is still time to try to spin your way to a piece of the $15,000 prize pool.

Next up is the Cinco de Mayo tournament, another holiday derived slots spree. This tournament is a one day only competition though, beginning at 9 am on May 5th and ending at 11:30 pm on the same day. Fittingly enough players will be playing this one on Vegas Technology’s La Cucaracha. To go along with the theme the entry fee into the Cinco de Mayo tournament is only $0.55, which gives players a $200 tournament balance to climb the leader board to win the largest portion of the pot prize pool.

Beginning just days after Cinco de Mayo is the Mothers Day Freeroll. As you can guess this one does not cost online slots players a dime to enter, giving them a $75 tournament balance to play with; but players can win a portion of the $25,000 prize pool though. This one is being played out on the Lucky Lady slots game. The Mothers Day Freeroll begins at 9 am on Sunday, May 8th (Mothers Day, mark your calendars) and runs through to 9 pm on Friday May 13th.

And speaking of Friday the 13th that brings us to the last special online slots tournament at Go Casino this month: The Friday the 13th tournament. Feeling lucky? This one is another that carries an unusual entry fee: $0.66 which will give a player a $200 tournament balance. As per the title this is a one day tournament beginning at 8 am and ending at 8 pm on the ‘dreaded’ day. This is another tournament that has players playing for the pot, spinning the reels of Monster Money, the most appropriate of the Vegas Technology line up.

All four of those special online slots tournaments are happening this month, sprinkled in amongst the regular Weekend Madness tournaments. The Weekend Madness tournaments have players paying a $10 entry fee for a $325 tournament balance to win a portion of the $30,000 prize pool. Just the small entry fees of the special tournaments at Go Casino alone make them worth it.

If you haven’t signed up yet to take part in one of the largest online casino slots tournaments held all year, it’s still not too late (unless, of course, you’re a U.S. resident, which means you’re ineligible anyways!). But for just about everyone else, eCOGRA approved All Slots Casino is the place to be if you’re looking for great tournament action on the online slots and a shot at winning some substantial cash winnings.

Called the Gram Slam of Slots II, the popular weeklong UK slots tournament is scheduled to kick off May 27, 2011 and run through June 6th. While it’s always best to take part from the very beginning of a tournament, even if you can’t, you’re still encouraged to take part, as it’s not necessarily about how many bets you make, but rather, how much in winnings you procure overall.

Grand Slam of Slots II is played on the popular Thunderstruck II video slot (using the latest in Microgaming’s innovative technology), guaranteeing over $290,000 in winnings paid out to 290 players and offering 243 ways to win on a single spin – a unique component to Microgaming slot machines, like Thunderstruck II. First place will walk away with $100,000, second place will nab $50,000, third place gets $25,000, and so on. And if you happen to be the lucky player to win the special jackpot prize, you’ll will walk away with $2.43 million in real gold bullion.

Offering you even more incentive to take part in Grand Slam of Slots II, All Slots has been giving away $25 gift card bonuses since the beginning of April, and will continue doing so through the month of May.

Easter is becoming the next big holiday that online casinos celebrate with new online slots games and online slots tournaments. There are two biggies this month when it comes to Easter derived online slots tournaments, one with the Hambledon New Venture Group of online casinos and the other with the English Harbour Gaming Ventures group.

First let’s take a look at the Easter online slots tournament that is happening at the English Harbour Gaming online casinos VIP Slots and Slots Galore. The tournament is called the Great Egg Hunt, and it is a month long tournament.

The Hunt began back on April 1st and will continue through all of April, ending on May 1st at 12:01 am. Players need only pay the $10 entry fee when they register for this tournament for their shot at a piece of the $50,000 prize pool. That $50,000 is made up of $35,750 in cash and $14,250 in bonus money; the top prize is $25,000. The $10 entry fee gives players a starting tournament balance of $200; rebuys are another $10 each and recharge a player’s tournament balance with another $200 should they cross the low balance threshold.

The Easter online slots tournament that is happening in some of the Hambledon online casinos, such as Go Casino and Online Vegas, are playing host to the Countdown to Easter Freeroll.

As its name suggests this tournament does not cost anything to enter, and all players start with a $50 tournament balance. However rebuys are available for $4.99 each and will give a player $250 to their balance to keep spinning the reels to try to climb the leader board. And what is at the end of that leader board? Well, the top 39 players will receive a portion of the $25,000 Bonus Bucks prize pool. Bonus Bucks is the name applied to the bonus money at some of the Hambledon online casinos. The top prize in this freeroll online slots tournament is $1,000 of bonus money.

Now all of the online casinos are powered by Vegas Technology. And Vegas Technology does not have an Easter themed online slots game…yet. So in lieu of that both tournaments are using the Funky Chicken online slots game for their Easter tournaments.
