Three great online casinos and one hot slots tournament. Could you ask for anything more? Well okay, maybe an Old Milwaukee's Best beer would suffice according to the cheesy commercial saying, "It ain't get no better than this", but even without the beer, Hambledon NV's (HBM Management) Labor Day slots tournament is one contest that will be hard to pass up for the serious online slots players out there.

Although HBM's slots tournament schedule for September has not been officially published just yet (give it a couple more days), the online casino group has announced their biggest tournament for the month of September. It kicks off Friday, September 4th, taking place, appropriately enough over Labor Day weekend until the following Friday, September 11, 2009. Longer than most online slots tournaments, the reason being that $100,000 in prize winnings is guaranteed, with the first place finisher alone getting $35,000.

Cash prize winnings for runner up's are yet to be announced, although the top 500 finishers are guaranteed to win a cash prize. Even with the thousands of players who are highly likely to participate, that many winning slots amounts to very good odds of walking away with prize money. Just remember, you have to pay to play. Fortunately, the entry fee is just $0.88, with buy-ins chiefly helping fund the jackpot winnings. The buy-in value was not confirmed at the time of publication, yet you should be prepared to purchase as many as possible to be one of the top contenders.

One player, in a recent press release, said he plans to enter the tournament with three different accounts, so as to increase his odds of winning. Not to say that doing so will guarantee better odds of winning, many players like to spread out their wagers with the hopes of winning more than one prize. Of course, the $35,000 first place prize is the most sought after of all, which will likely go to the player who either gets very lucky on a few spins or who has a combination of good luck and spends a great deal of time on the reels, which incidentally, will be on the popular 25-line Cherry Blossom Slots.

If that name sounds familiar, that's because it is one of the top slot games developed by Vegas Technology Software and offered at some of the best US facing online casinos today. In the case of HBM, their trio of online casinos include Golden Casino, Online Vegas and Go Casino. Indeed, players are permitted to open accounts at each casino separately. However, keep in mind that only one welcome bonus offer can be claimed per person.

In other words, if you claim a welcome bonus with Golden Casino, don't expect to get one from Online Vegas. Even if the cashier grants it to you, you will be in for a hard surprise when it's time to cash out. If you have already claimed a welcome bonus at one of these online casinos and plan to open an account at another, ask customer support whether or not you are eligible for any bonus offers before claiming it. And be sure to get it in writing. Then, start practicing on the Cherry Blossoms slots to get ready for one of the largest online slots tournaments in September.
