Back in April there was a disagreement between Real Time Gaming and 21Gnet, the provider for Real Time’s tournaments. The disagreement was settled by Real Time and 21Gnet severing their working relationship, and Real Time was left to find a new tournament provider. The cost of this disagreement was the online blackjack tournaments at Rushmore Casino.

But online slots players had nothing but good things to say about the switch in tournament providers as it ushered in a new tournament era at Rushmore: the online slots tournament era.

That is right, Rushmore now offers online slots tournaments to their players. They are just still getting their wings off the ground with it though, and are only offering three types of daily online slots tournaments:

The first is called Loose Caboose and is the least expensive of Rushmore’s new online slots tournaments. Players register for Loose Caboose for $1.10. From that entry fee, $1 goes into the pot to be won by a player, and the $0.10 goes to Rushmore.

The Momma Bear-sized Rushmore slots tournament is called Crystal Waters. Players can enter this tournament for $5.50. Similar to Loose Caboose, $5 goes into the pot and the remaining $0.50 goes to Rushmore.

The biggest online slots tournament offered to players is called Texan Tycoon. This one costs $11 to play in, with $10 going into the prize pool and $1 being held onto by Rushmore.

All three of these online slots tournaments are offered on a rotation, with one starting at the top of each hour and the next starting on the next hour all day.

Each tournament is played out on the online slots game that it is named for and all were created by Real Time Gaming.

Upon registering, a player is given 10,000 tournament credits and have ten minutes to play with their credits. They can play their ten minutes at any time during the four hour tournament. Whoever carries the highest tournament balance at the end of the four hours receives a portion of the prize pool.

The more players there are the larger the prize pool goes. Right now the tournaments are very small with maybe a dozen players at most, but this can be owed to the fact that these are new online slots tournaments at an online casino that did not used to host slots tournaments. So I guess we shall have to see how the Rushmore online slots tournaments turn out over the next several months.

August offers up some of the hottest weather of the summer. And to show they are not afraid of the late summer heat, Online Vegas is hosting its own hot online slots tournament. This online tournament is hot both in terms of its prize pool and its entry fee.

The name of this online slots tournament? Online Vegas’s Hot August Freeroll.

Yes, this is a freeroll online slots tournament. Players only have to register to receive their one hundred tournament credits.

The Hot August Freeroll began last Friday, August 13th at 8 pm, but there are still two days left to play as it does not end until Friday, August 20th at 7:45 pm. And considering this is a freeroll online slots tournament, the chance to play is worth it. Tournament veterans can enjoy playing while those who are new to online slots tournaments can use it for practice if nothing else. But who does not want a free shot at a piece of that $75,000?

For the Hot August Freeroll, Online Vegas has chosen Fire Hawk as the online slots game that this tournament will be played out on. Fire Hawk was created by Vegas Technology, and is a five reel online slots game with twenty five paylines.

Considering that this is a freeroll online slots tournament there is no excuse not to play out the free one hundred tournament credits. After all, the prize pool is $75,000. That is $45,000 more than Online Vegas’s usual tournament prize pool. With a prize pool that high and this being a freeroll, this is one online tournament at Online Vegas that anyone can play in.

How much time do you have for your lunch? Most people only have an hour. For those who like to play online slots, they might play during their lunch, but it just does not seem productive since an hour does not offer a long enough time to play.

Now imagine that you could play in an online slots tournament within your lunch break and not miss a moment of the tournament action.

Such a thing is possible with the new online slots tournaments being offered by VIP Slots. Every single Sunday, Monday and Friday they host a tournament series called Quick Slots. Each tournament runs for only 45 minutes. So you could take your lunch break, sign in to VIP, join one of these online slots tournaments and 45 minutes later be the winner and end your lunch with a lot more money.

Another high point to these Quick Slots online slots tournaments is that they only cost $0.50 to enter. These are affordable online slots tournaments that are over and down with in quick order. And that means that the winners do not have to wait for three or four days to know they have won or to receive their winnings.

The Quick Slots online slots tournaments run several times each Sunday, Monday and Friday as so:

1pm-1:45pm
2pm-2:45pm

5pm-5:45pm
6pm-6:45pm
7pm-7:45pm
8pm-8:45pm
9pm-9:45pm

It is easy to get in on this Quick Slots online slots tournament action. Drop by VIP Slots, sign in and register for the time frame you want to play this tournament in. Oh knows, you might find yourself with some extra cash at the end of your lunch break.

Do you have a quarter?

If so you can play in Go Casino’s 25 Cents, $750 Bonus Bucks online slots tournament. These online slots tournaments run on a regular basis every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7 pm to 2 am.

As you can probably very well tell, the prize pool is $750 in Bonus Bucks. Bonus Bucks work the same way as money in that any amount you win is deposited to your player account at Go. The difference is that Bonus Bucks are not actual money. Players can use them to wager on online slots or other online casino games, but they cannot withdraw, or cash out, the Bonus Bucks. Winnings from Bonus Bucks, yes. Bonus Bucks themselves, no.

The benefit to winning Bonus Bucks is that it gives players some extra to wager with without having to deposit more of their own money. Think of it as being like a boost to your player account.

So why is Go giving away Bonus Bucks for this online slots tournament and not real money? Simple. Look at the entry fee—it is only $0.25.This is one of those online slots tournaments that an online casino hosts not to make a profit really, but to allow more of their players to participate in the fun of an online tournament. It is a bad economy and not everyone can regularly afford to play in $15 online slots tournaments.

For $0.25 players start out with a tournament balance of 150 credits. Rebuys are available for $1.50 each and will give players another 150 credits to play with.

To add to the inexpensive fun, Go changes the online slots game on a weekly basis. One week the online slots game will be one game for that week’s four tournaments. The next week it will be a different game. Past games have included Dr. Love, Tiki Lounge and Cherry Blossoms.

Whether you are looking for some entertainment or are trying to get your feet wet in online tournaments, these 25 Cents tournaments from Go are a fun and inexpensive way to play in an online slots tournament.

Ever since the beginning of June, Slots Galore has been hosting a three month long summer online slots party. It goes by the name of the Summer Slots Series and is made up of three parts with each part lasting a whole month. The best part of this online slots tournament is the prize pool for each part is divided up amongst the top 275, 500 and 800 players, each part respectively.

June was Part I, being played out on Funky Chicken. The total prize pool was $100,000 with a top prize of $50,000.

Part II began at the beginning of this month and Shaaark was the online slots game of choice. The prize pool jumped up to $150,000 for Part II with a first place taking home $60,000.

Now July is in its final days, which means that the third and final part of this online slots tournament series is going to be starting soon. In fact it will be starting this Sunday, August 1st and will be running through August 31st and the game of choice is California Gold.

Like with the previous two parts, the prize pool is going to jump again—up to $175,000 with $75,000 going to the winner of Part III. The prize pool breakdown looks like this:

1st: $75,000
2nd: $25,000
3rd: $10,000
4th-5th: $5,000
6th-10th: $3,000
11th-20th: $1,000
21st-40th: $200
41st-100th: $100
101st-200th: $50
201st-800th: $25

On top of the top 800 players winning something in Part III, Part III will also be the deciding factor in one more prize. For the online slots player who wins the most—not necessarily places first, but who collects the most—over all three parts of this online slots tournament series, that player will win $75,000 to call their own.

You need not have played in the early parts of this online slots tournament in order to play in Part III. Click over to Slots Galore for more information on the Summer Slots Series or to register.

This weekend’s Bonus Buck tournament begins at 9 am on Saturday, July 24th and will run through 10 pm on Sunday, July 25th.

The top finishing player in this online slots tournament will receive part of the $2,500 Bonus Buck prize pool. Bonus Bucks differ from the regular cash prizes in that they are deposited into the winning player’s account to be used for future playing.

Some online slots players fuss about tournaments that do not award cash prizes, but in this case there really is not a lot of room to fuss considering that Online Vegas has offered this one up at a freeroll.

Players begin the tournament with 125 tournament credits. Rebuys are available for $1.99, which gives another 125 credits. But if you have a streak of luck and win the tournament without having to rebuy, you will have won a part of that $2,500 prize pool without having to drop a dime of real money.

If you are a night owl or like to enjoy your late summer nights these little online slots tournaments will be for you. Running every day—and I do mean every day, Monday through Sunday—there will be an eight hour slots tournament at Go Casino. But you will have to be up late to catch it since each one runs from 12:30 am to 8:30 am.

Go is calling these new online slots tournaments their Red Eye Pot Percentage, deriving from being a late night/early morning tournament in which participants are playing for a portion of the pot. This means that the money to be won will vary from tournament to tournament.

Players that are interested in playing in one of the Red Eye tournaments only need to register at Go and pay the $2.99 entry fee. That $2.99 will start a participant’s tournament balance at 250 credits. Rebuys are available for another $2.99, which naturally will get players another 250 in tournament credits.

Go is nice enough to change the online slots game being played so that players will not have to play the same game every day. From a look over the tournament schedule at Go there are seven online slots games being used with the games rotating each day and repeating the next week:

July 15th: City of Gold
July 16th: Vampire Vixen
July 17th: Shaaark
July 18th: Butterflies
