Another Easter Slots Tournament—And This One is Free!

Freeroll | Wednesday April 13 2011 11:30 am | Comments (0) Tags:

Another online casino has jumped on board the Easter online slots tournament train. And tickets for this train ride are free.

Online Vegas is hosting a Countdown to Easter Freeroll. And its starting date is not too far off. The Countdown begins at 10:30 am on Sunday, April 17th. Players will have a week to spin the reels and climb the leader board. The Countdown to Easter ends at 11:30 pm on Sunday, April 24th.

As you probably noted in my title, this is a free online slots tournament. There is no entry fee, and all players who register will start off with a $50 tournament balance. If necessary rebuys are available for those players who cross the low balance threshold and need to recharge. Each rebuy is $4.99 and will give a slots player $250.

Now on to what everyone wants to know: what is Online Vegas doing for a prize pool? The answer to that question is $25,000. In Bonus Bucks. I know that every slots player wishes that all prize pools were cash, but when you stop to think that this is a weeklong free tournament with rebuys set at $4.99 each, a bonus money prize is not unreasonable. With some prizes going to multiplier players, the prize pool ranks break down like so:

1st place: $1,000
2nd place: $460
3rd place: $350
4th place: $300
5th place: $260
6th place: $150
7th place: $140
8th place: $130
9th place: $115
10th place: $100

And the bonus money prizes continue through the top thirty nine finishes.

The Countdown to Easter Freeroll at Online Vegas will be played out on the Funky Chicken online slots game from Vegas Technology, as it is the only online slots game in their arsenal that can be related to Easter; the slots game has chickens and eggs and Easter has baby chicks and colored eggs. There is a relation.

March Means St. Patrick’s Day for Slots Tournaments

Freeroll | Wednesday March 2 2011 12:31 pm | Comments Off Tags:

Get ready to get your St. Pattie’s Day slots on. March is finally here and hopefully with it, some warmer weather. And if it is not warm enough to suit your tastes, have a drink and warm yourself up. Such is the American sentiment behind the popular drinking holiday based on the deeds of St. Patrick.

For online slots players at Go Casino, or for those who are considering spinning the reels at Go Casino, St Patrick’s Day means that it is time for the St. Patrick’s Week Long $25,000 Bonus Buck Freeroll.

In case in that very long title you missed the freeroll part, this online slots tournament does not require an entry fee to play in. And for the cost of free players start with $15 in tournament credits. There are unlimited rebuys available for $4.99 apiece. Each $4.99 rebuy will recharge an online slots player’s tournament balance with $150 in tournament credits.

The St. Patrick’s Day tournament begins on St. Patrick’s Day at 10:30 am, which is probably when a good many will begin their, ahem, ‘celebrating.’ The tournament will for an entire week, ending at 10:30 pm on March 25th. Hopefully the ‘celebrating’ will not last a whole eight days.

Also mentioned in the title, this online slots freeroll tournament will not be paying out cash prizes. Instead the top ranking players will receive Bonus Bucks, which is a fun name for bonus money. Some prizes will be awarded to multiple players, but here are the prize breakdowns for the top ten prizes:

Prize 1: $1,000
Prize 2: $460
Prize 3: $350
Prize 4: $300
Prize 5: $260
Prize 6: $150
Prize 7: $140
Prize 8: $130
Prize 9: $115
Prize 10: $100

While there may not have been a lot to choose from for the battery of holiday tournaments, thankfully there are slightly more to choose from for a St. Patrick’s Day slots tournament. The slots game for Go Casino is Vegas Technology’s Luck of the Irish. Very appropriate for this freeroll. For any online slots players who want to try their luck, they can register for this freeroll at Go Casino.

Freeroll | Thursday February 3 2011 11:14 am | Comments Off Tags: , ,

Time for another holiday. This time it is Valentine’s Day, some love it and some hate it. But for fans of online slots games there will be now hate. Valentine’s Day means new online slots games and special online slots tournaments.

Let’s start out by taking a look at what Go Casino is offering slots players for Valentine’s Day. They are hosting a special freeroll online slots tournament that they are calling the Valentine’s Day Week Long $25,000 Bonus Buck Freeroll.

Like its title implies, players do not have to pay en entry fee to play in this Valentine’s Day Freeroll. They only have to register and play during the tournament’s time span. Slots players will also begin with 75 tournament credits to play with. Rebuys are available for $5.75 for any slots players who hit the low balance threshold.

The prize pool is made up of $25,000 in Bonus Bucks, which from my freeroll post last week, Bonus Bucks are not bad and the usual fare when it comes to free online slots tournaments. Only with this special Valentine’s Day tournament $25,000 is a lot of Bonus Bucks to give away, making this one online freeroll that is not to be missed.

The Vegas Technology powered Online Casino Go Casino has chosen a highly appropriate online slots game to be used in this tournament: Cupid’s Arrow–an online slots game full of all the season to be sure.

Online Vegas Hosting $20,000 Freeroll

Freeroll | Wednesday January 12 2011 11:43 am | Comments Off Tags: ,

I love free. When it comes to money, free is even better. And Online Vegas is putting the two together in its big online slots tournament this month.

They are calling it the Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll and it is just as it sounds. Players will have the opportunity to spin the reels to try to claim a piece of that $20,000 cash prize pool. Now I know if you were looking at the tournament calendar at Online Vegas you would see that the weekend tournaments are offing a prize pool of $30,000, which is less than this tournament—so why is the $20,000 tournament the main event of the month?

Quite simple. It is a freeroll. Players do nothing more than register to play in it. The $30,000 prize pool tournaments being offered all carry a $10 entry fee.

And what is more is that freeroll tournaments will typically only offer bonus money; Online Vegas’ bonus money is called Bonus Bucks. But in this freeroll online slots tournament players can actually win cash. Between this being a free tournament and actually offering cash to the players who wind up in the top several places on the leader board—that is what makes this the tournament event of the month.

And to further enforce the party type celebration, the online slots game being used for this tournament is Vegas Technology’s La Fiesta, a five reel slots game with twenty five paylines of play.

All players who register to play in this freeroll will start out with 75 tournament credits for free. For any player who crosses the low balance threshold, rebuys are available for $6.99 to recharge the low tournament balance.

Free entry and a chance to win a piece of the $20,000 cash prize, it really does make the Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll the main event at Online Vegas this month. Not too bad of a start for January.

Freeroll at Go for with $20,000 to be Won

Freeroll | Wednesday January 5 2011 12:27 pm | Comments Off Tags: , ,

To help celebrate the New Year and to help some lucky online slots players kick off the New Year with some extra money, Go Casino is hosting a freeroll online slots tournament this month.

Players will have the chance to win a portion of the $20,000 prize pool and all without paying an entry fee. The Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll begins at 10:30 pm on Monday, January 17th. From 10:30 pm on that Monday and for the next five days, players will be spinning the reels of the five reel Vegas Technology online slots game known as La Fiesta. I guess the party did not end with the ball dropping.

Once the Mid-January Freeroll begins players have until 10:30 pm on Friday, January 21st to climb the leader board and to claim a place with a cash prize. All players have to do is register for the correct tournaments. They will then start out with seventy five tournament credits for this freeroll online slots tournament. If anyone is unfortunate enough to run low on their tournament balance and cross the low balance threshold, rebuys are available for $6.99.

As far as freeroll online slots tournaments go, this one is one of the few that pop up that give slots players a chance to win real money. Typically freerolls only allow players the opportunity to win bonus money, which can only be used at that online casino. But the Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll at Go Casino is giving online slots players to win cash, which makes this a fun chance to spin the reels.

They are so excited about Thanksgiving that they are hosting a slots tournament to count down to the feast.

The tournament started back on November 14th and will continue through November 25th, Thanksgiving Day itself. So after you are all done with your turkey and mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, you can pull yourself up to the computer and spin the reels on Funky Chicken.

Yes, the Vegas Technology online slots game chosen for a Thanksgiving tournament features a chicken. But then there does not seem to be any turkey online slots games in the Vegas Technology arsenal—they need one!

Players start out with 80 tournament credits in this freeroll—not too bad considering there is no entry fee. Rebuys go for $12.99 for 350 more credits.

So if you are looking for something to do with your time leading up the Turkey Day, spin the reels in the Countdown to Thanksgiving Freeroll at Go Casino. It is free after all.

VIP Got Sneaky

Freeroll | Wednesday September 29 2010 12:43 pm | Comments Off

Many online casinos have not yet posted any of their October online slots tournaments yet. This is rather frustrating because it does not allow for much planning ahead on the tournaments at the beginning of the month. And I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with for the month with Halloween.

That aside, with no online tournament schedule posted for anything in October, VIP Slots has gotten a bit sneaky.

VIP Slots is hosting a Super Market Sweep online slots tournament from 12 am, October 8th through 11 pm, October 11th.

This short tournament has a prize pool of $5,000 with a breakdown like so:

1st place: $2,000
2nd place: $1,000
3rd place: $750
4th place: $500
5th place: $250
6th place: $100

There also is no entry fee posted, but the starting balance is $250 in tournament credits. The downside is that this online slots tournament is already full and entry is closed. For a tournament that is next month.

So how does this work that there is a freeroll online slots tournament with a high credit balance for next month when no other online casino has posted anything for October, yet this one starts on the 8th?

I actually cannot say why this tournament has shown up as what sounds like a really awesome freeroll online slots tournament. The only explanation that I can offer is that this tournament, with its high prize pool and high starting credits, is one of the perks of belonging to VIP’s player rewards club.

If that is the case, let this be a lesson in not avoiding player reward clubs—they just might gain you access to incredible freerolls like the Supermarket Sweep.
