When it comes to playing slots on the Web, you would think that an online casino going by the name of VIP Slots would offer something unique in the area of slots action. Me personally, I would think that a large variety of different types of machines would be available, not to mention special slots bonuses and a comprehensive tournament schedule. And not to sound too cheesy and promotional, the bottom line is that VIP Slots Casino delivers on all fronts.

VIP Slots has been an approved online casino here at OCS for some time now. As it is our policy to constantly check up on approved sites and update our reviews with new and pertinent information, we more than did a triple-take when we saw VIP Slots most recent tournament schedule. In addition to their normal lineup of tournaments guaranteeing thousands in winnings every week, VIP Slots is currently hosting daily free roll tournaments (with $2 rebuys) that award the top ten daily finishers a free entry in VIP Slots' March Madness tournament during the month of, you guessed it - March.

The tournament is actually being sponsored by EH New Ventures, which is the parent company of Vegas Technology Software's most popular, longstanding online casino network. Consisting of a poker room and six online casinos, including English Harbour, Millionaire and Super Slots casinos (all reviewed and listed here at OCS), EH New Ventures is certainly hoping to draw up lots of traffic at its newest site - the aforementioned VIP Slots Casino.

What makes this tournament newsworthy is the fact that it is giving out an unprecedented $250,000 in guaranteed tournament winnings. The only other slots tournament to dish out more was the $500,000 World Series of Slots tournament hosted by Microgaming's the Jackpot Factory (five distinct online casinos). The only catch, so to speak, was that since the Jackpot Factory is so popular (they were still open to U.S. players back then), there was a flood of players vying for their share of the tournament winnings.

And not to say that EH Gaming Ventures isn't popular. In fact they have been one of the most popular online casino networks with U.S. players for some time now. Let's just say that many players believe that Microgaming has gotten too big in some respects. As for March Madness, it will produce 5,625 different winners over the course of the tournament - one month. First place will take home $100,000; second place with nab $25,000; third place: $15,000, fourth place: $10,000; and so on down the line.
