And another holiday is upon us: Memorial Day. Whether you get the day off or not is irrelevant. The Memorial Day online slots tournament, which you knew some online casinos would celebrate, is being hosted by Slots Galore.

Online slots players will be glad to hear that there is no entry fee for this online slots tournament. Nope, the Memorial Day tournament is a freeroll.

But there is a slight catch with this freeroll: you have to be a member at Slots Galore with a real money account in order to receive the email invitation to this particular tournament. If you are not a member at Slots Galore, you will have to download their casino software; do not worry though, the casino software is free to download. Once you have the casino software downloaded you need to create a real player account. Once you have your real player account you will begin to receive Slots Galore emails. And the entry code for the tournament comes in an email.

As for the other details, not everything is being revealed as of yet since this is an eMailer or invitational online slots tournament. I do have the dates though. The Memorial Day online slots tournament will begin on May 20th and play will continue through to May 31st. Players in this freeroll will be playing for a portion of the $7,500 prize pool.

The tournament dates span the whole of the Memorial Day weekend holiday, giving players plenty of time to get in on Memorial Day festivities and still play in the Memorial Day eMailer Freeroll.

I was very happy to see Go Casino to bravely face Friday the 13th. It is a very superstitious holiday that, in some way, I can understand slots players not being too keen on. Slots players like lucky things, and Friday the 13th is purported to be the unluckiest of days.

But for those who brave the fear of superstitions, there is a pot percentage to win at Go Casino this coming Friday.

Beginning at 8 am on Friday the 13th, players can spin the reels with all the luck they can bravely muster. They have twelve hours until 8 pm on the same day to achieve their rank on the leader board. The higher up they are, the more of the pot they will win.

Players can enter the Friday the 13th Pot Percentage by paying a $0.66 entry fee. No, I do not know the significance of two 6’s. Honestly an entry fee of $0.13 or even $0.67 would have made more sense. But $0.66 it is. That $0.66 entry fee will get players a $200 tournament balance to start out with. Rebuys are of course available should anyone cross the low threshold balance to recharge one’s tournament balance.

As for the Vegas Technology online slots game, the Friday the 13th game for the tournament is Monster Money. A nice comically creepy choice for a superstitious pseudo holiday. Monster Money is typically used in Halloween online slots tournaments, so Friday the 13th is not stretch.

So gear up and leave your superstitions at the proverbial door. Players will be able to register at Go Casino for the Friday the 13th online slots tournament within the next couple of days.

Want a free invitation to an exclusive Mother’s Day online slots tournament?

Who would not? Well the online casinos to visit are VIP Slots and Slots Galore, both of which are Vegas Technology powered online casinos. The sister casinos are hosting the same Mother’s Day promotion.

There is a coupon code featured on both websites: MDMAY0811. When making a deposit, players can enter that coupon code at either of the two online casinos, and receive an invitation to the invite-only Mother’s Day online slots tournament. The Mother’s Day special tournament is set to take place from May 9th through May 13th. Other than the dates and that entry is by invitation only, there are no other details as of yet on the tournament.

But an invitation to the exclusive Mother’s Day tournament is not the only thing that coupon code can do for online slots players at VIP Slots or Slots Galore. When players make a deposit of at least $20, that coupon code makes them eligible for a special Mother’s Day deposit match bonus. The bonus will match a player’s deposit 100% up to $250. But! Know this: the coupon code can only be used once.

Oh, one more word on the Mother’s Day tournament. Since this promotion is being hosted by both online casinos it is highly likely that the tournament will be linked between both casinos. So players at one casino will be playing against not only those at their online casino but at the sister casino too.

The Mother’s Day coupon is only valid at VIP Slots and Slots Galore from May 6th through May 8th. After that only those who turned in the coupon will be playing beginning the next day in the exclusive Mother’s Day online slots tournament.

Finally we are in a new month and online casinos have finally posted their online slots tournament schedule for the month of April. It seems that online casinos have begun to celebrate a new holiday.

For the most part online casinos will leave Easter alone. It is a highly religious holiday after all. Yes, I know Christmas is also a religious holiday, but its commercialism often overpowers the religious side. Just ask Linus. Now online casinos are finally tapping into the Easter holiday. While I have not seen any slots games with an Easter theme, there are online casinos out there who are adding Easter themed online slots tournaments to their holiday tournaments.

One such online slots tournament is being hosted by Slots Galore and it is called the Great Egg Hunt.

The Great Egg Hunt began on April 1st, but this is a month-long online slots tournament so there is plenty of time to still get in on the action. The tournament itself will end at 12:01 am on May 1st. As I said, plenty of time still.

The prize pool is totaled at $50,000 but only part of it is cash while the other part is in bonus money: $37,750 and $14,250 with the larger figure being the cash portion of the prize pool. The break down looks like this (remember that some places are awarded to multiple players):

1st place: $25,000
2nd place: $5,000
3rd place: $1,500
4th place: $750
5th place: $250
6th place: $100
7th place: $25
8th place: $10 in bonus money
9th place: $5 in bonus money

As I said earlier, there are no Easter themed online slots games…yet. So Slots Galore is using the Vegas Technology slots game Funky Chicken. This five reel, twenty five payline slots game has plenty of eggs, but the theme is more about chickens on a farm with a crazy farmer.

Entry into the Great Egg Hunt is only $10 which will provide players with a $200 tournament balance. Yes, there are rebuys, each $10 for another $200. There is still lots of time to bounce over to Slots Galore to get in on the Easter tournament action.

Not to be outshined by Go Casino and its sister online casinos, VIP Slots is also hosting their own Valentine’s Day online slots tournament. But while the Valentine’s Day tournament at Go Casino is a freeroll for a share of the $25,000 Bonus Bucks prize pool, VIP’s is a little bit different.

VIP’s prize pool is the same amount as Go Casino’s: $25,000. But rather than make their prize pool up with bonus money, VIP is making theirs up with real money. Yes, the $25,000 prize pool for VIP’s Slots of Love tournament is all real money. There are nine prize ranks, with some of the lower ranks being awarded to multiple players:

1st prize: $7,500
2nd prize: $5,000
3rd prize: $1,500
4th prize: $1,000
5th prize: $750
6th prize: $500
7th prize: $100
8th prize: $50
9th prize: $25

The reels began spinning for the Slots of Love tournament two days ago, February 7th, and this online slots tournament will continue through to the Friday after Valentine’s Day, which is February 18th, ending at 11:59 pm.

Now because this online slots tournament is giving away a real money prize pool, entry into it is not going to be free like it is with Go Casino’s Valentine’s Day tournament. Players who wish to participate in the Slots of Love tournament must pay a $10 entry fee, which will give them a starting tournament balance of $200. Rebuys are available for $5 once a player’s tournament balance crosses the $5 mark. Rebuys will give players another $200 to spin the reels.

And what online slots game is being used? Funny enough it is the same one that Go Casino is using: Vegas Technology’s Cupid’s Arrow. Before anyone asks, no, these two online casinos are not linked and neither are the tournaments; both are entirely separate of each other. The only reason that both are using the same online slots game is because they are both powered by Vegas Technology; and Vegas Technology has only one really Valentine’s Day themed online slots game.

Players who wish to play in the Slots of Love Valentine’s Day tournament can register at VIP Slots.

Earlier this month I began discussing the Holiday Feast online slots tournament series at VIP Slots online casino. This was a four part tournament series that would grant a select number of players entrance to VIP’s main tournament event next month.

Well, slots players, the holidays are almost over and the time for the January Showdown is almost nigh!

The Holiday Feast is in its final part and the top placing players will be the last ones to be ushered in to take a proverbial seat in the January Showdown. Part IV of the Holiday Feast began on the 26th and will be ending on New Year’s Eve. Interested online slots players can stay turn over their $5 entry fee to try to spin their way into the January Showdown.

And while top placing players in each part of the Holiday Feast only receive part of the pot for the part of the online slots tournament, it is the prize pool of the January Showdown that is the prize to have your eye one: $50,000.

And this $50,000 will not be parted out to top players; only the top placing player in the January Showdown will receive the whole $50,000.

At the time of this writing, with Part IV of the Holiday Feast still spinning out, there are 446 players that have made it into the January Showdown. Those 446 online slots players plus those that make it in from Part IV will have a starting tournament balance of $250 to spin the reels of California Gold.

For any tournament player whose tournament balance hits the rebuy threshold of $10, rebuys are available for $10. Each rebuy will give players another $250 to keep on playing with.

The January Showdown will run at VIP Slots and its sister online casino, Slots Galore, from January 3rd at 12 am until 11:59 pm on January 9th. The top placing online slots player will then be the recipient of the $50,000 prize. Remember that the only way into the January Showdown is through taking a place in the Holiday Feast, and the last part is already underway at VIP Slots.

It is less than two weeks until Christmas and the final tournaments and promotions at online casinos for the Christmas season are getting under way—not everyone was inclined to run a month long tournament series like VIP Slots did with their Holiday Feast. With so much happening, it took awhile for me to surface from looking for the most awesome slots tournaments!

Go Casino will be rolling out their Countdown to Christmas online slots tournament this Friday, December 17th. The leader board climbing will commence at 6 am on the 17th and will continue through 11:59 pm on Christmas Eve, with players spinning the reels of Winter Wonderland. And with the timely ending, some lucky slots players will be starting their Christmas Day with a share of the $250,000 prize pool:

1st place: $40,000
2nd place: $13,000
3rd place: $9,000
4th place: $6,000
5th place: $4,500
6th place: $3,000
7th place: $2,500
8th place: $1,500
9th place: $1,000
10th place: $810
11th place: $700
12th place: $600
13th place: $500
14th place: $450
15th place: $400
16th place: $300
17th place: $265
18th place: $250
19th place: $225
20th place: $200
21st place: $180
22nd place: $165
23rd place: $160

The remaining prize money will be award to places 24 through 39.

Players can play in the Countdown to Christmas for free—there is no entry fee. This freeroll slots tournament starts players out with $50 in tournament money. Rebuys become possible when a player’s balance hits the $25 mark; rebuys cost $12.99 and will give players $350 more in tournament money.

Even though this free online slots tournament is only running for a week, it is still rewarding players with some pretty hefty prizes from that $250,000 prize pool. Not too shabby for a freeroll tournament. And quite jolly too! Drop by Go Casino today to register for this free slots tournament.

VIP Slots is known for their flair in celebrating the seasons. And the Christmas season is no different. Beginning on December 5th, players can begin their quest to not only win some real money prizes, but to also try to earn their place in the January Showdown.

There are four parts to the Holiday Feast online slots tournament series, each one a week long. And each of the four parts gives a shot at a place in the January Showdown as the top two hundred (200) players from each part of the Holiday Feast will advance to the January Showdown.

Part I of the Holiday Feast is almost upon us. 12:01 am this coming Sunday is the beginning; and Part I will continue until 11:59 pm on Saturday, December 11th. Part II will commence at 12:01 am on December 12th.

In short, the Holiday Feast is happening all throughout December—not a day is going by in which players will not be spinning for their chance at the January Showdown.

To keep it interesting, VIP Slots has assigned a different online slots game from the Vegas Technology arsenal to each of the four parts of the Holiday Feast. Part I’s online slots game is Fat Cat, a five reel staring the beloved tubby rich cat.

Considering that the main purpose of the Holiday Feast is to snag a place in the January Showdown, players will be playing for percentages of the pot in each of the four Holiday Feast parts. So while fewer players per part will increase your chance of getting a place in January’s main event, it means a smaller real money prize now.

Part I of the Holiday Feast is mere days away and entry is only $5, which gives players a tournament balance of $500 for Part I. VIP Slots promises to be an exciting place during this month with holiday tournaments and players vying for places in the January Showdown.
