So the net is filled to the brim with websites that allow you to play slot machines for money, right? Of course it is! But what if you just feel like playing slot games for fun, without having to sign up and deposit money? That’s where BetSoft.com comes in.

BetSoft.com offers a selection of unique, proprietary online slots that can be played for free. They have dubbed them ‘Slots3′ – and people they are unlike anything you have ever experienced.

These certainly aren’t your grandfather’s slot games. Each game boasts some of the finest 3D graphics around, even putting home-console games to shame. Even better, each game carries its own interesting theme and provides any where from one to three bonus games you won’t find anywhere else on the web.

There are 17 games in total, but for this post I have chosen to highlight three games that absolutely swept me off of my feet.

Barbary Coast

This pirate-themed slot might be a blatant rip-off of the Pirates of The Caribbean movies, but don’t let that keep you from appreciating it. It delivers some pretty entertaining bonus games that are… let’s say, they’re not quite kid-friendly.

In the first Bonus Game, which I have dubbed ‘Coin Toss’, players find themselves sitting at a make-shift table on the poop deck with the quintessential “Fat Pirate”. He pours two glasses of rum, and the game begins. Players must pick which side of the coin will land face-up – Heads or Tails. If players guess correctly, Fat Pirate takes a drink and the game begins again (it’s three rounds long). However, if players guess wrong, they must take a drink. Win or lose, players will still walk away with bonus credits for having played the game.

The second Bonus Game is a swashbuckling sword fight on the deck against the dreaded Black Beard. Players must decide their moves before the fight, picking from three moves (Slash, stab, and parry). If players win, they get a sizable amount of bonus credits and save the Female Pirate – but if they lose, Black Beard steals the sea-faring dame away. My advice? Don’t lose.

Paco and The Popping Peppers

This south-of-the-border themed slot machine might not be the most racially sensitive game out there, but it is delightfully fun.

The game is a mix between a video slot machine and games like Bejeweled, in which the titular peppers that land on the same pay-line explode, causing their respective reels to adjust accordingly. This leads to the possibility of massive pay-outs each round.

As for this game’s Bonus Game, players need only to line up three straw-hut bars. Upon launching the Fiesta Bonus Game, players are greeted with a card (like from a deck of cards) and they must decide if the next card will be higher or lower in value. If they are right, Paco takes a shot of tequila and the game continues. Players can guess incorrectly three times before the game ends, but if they win they stand to walk away with a huge credit bonus.

Enchanted

My personal favorite, Enchanted is a slot game based around the world of English Fairy Tales with a dash of Shrek for good measure.

One of the great things about this particular slot machine is the wide variety of bonuses it offers players. For instance, while not a bonus game, players who line up three Magic Hats will summon a massive tornado that freezes the reels. The Magic Hat uses his wily spells to unfreeze one random reel for three rounds, which in turn can award players with wins without having to spend any of their credits.

Now the first Bonus Game comes to players after collecting three key symbols. The reels suddenly break down, and out comes the Helpful Dwarf to save the day. Six locked doors will appear randomly over six symbols, and players must tell the Helpful Dwarf which doors should be unlocked. Each time Helpful Dwarf unlocks a door, players get a credit bonus, as well as come one door closer to fixing the reels so that they can keep playing. Thanks, Helpful Dwarf!

The second Bonus Game sees Rufus the Ogre kidnapping the Faery’s pet sparrow. Oh no! It’s okay, though, as players take control of the Faery and exact their revenge. Operation: Save Faery’s Bird commences, and players must chase down Rufus and execute three spells with crackerjack timing in order to turn Rufus into a toad and save the Sparrow. Each round awards players with bonus credits.

While players cannot play for real money, the slots at BetSoft.com are perfect little distractions. If you want to play online slots but don’t feel like losing money, hop on over to the site and give Slots3 a shot. Other free slot games include a thrilling Bank Heist, a far-out Space Adventure, and even a bloody Gladiator Battle!

Hello! I trust every one had a splendid Memorial Day Weekend, yes? Excellent. Today I thought we would relax a little bit and look at some of the best online slots Welcome Bonuses. Yay, Bonuses!

Welcome Bonuses serve a very important function for online casinos. Short and simple, they get people to gamble their hard earned money in one over another. “But isn’t that the purpose of the games?” Well, yes and no.

You see, the games are important because, after all, they are the main attraction. If it weren’t for the games, gamblers wouldn’t gamble; however, that doesn’t mean that casinos live or die because of their game selection. Many online casinos employ the same games, because there are only so many software developers who provide online gambling software.

No, where the success of an online casino begins is in its sign-up incentives. Some offer great bonuses to players who join their site, and others… well, not so much. To save you guys the trouble of sorting out the bad from the good, I have done just that – and I am here to share my findings!

Here follows the top four online Welcome Bonuses I could find. There might be other casinos out there with better bonuses geared at specific games like Blackjack or Poker. Alas, this is a site dedicated to online slot machines I wanted to just take the cream of the crop in terms of slot-friendly bonuses.

4) Aladdin’s Gold Casino

Players just joining Aladdin’s Gold Casino will receive a 200% Match Bonus on every deposit for the first seven days. Yikes!

3) Rome Casino

When you join Rome Casino, you will receive a 100% Match Bonus on each of your first 10 deposits, up to $1,000. When all is said and done, players could walk away with $10,000 in free cash to go towards any online slot machine they wish.

2) Silver Oak Casino

Players new to Silver Oak will still be treated like loyal customers with this stellar Welcome Bonus that could equal out to $10,000. Players will receive a 100% Match Bonus on their first 10 deposits, up to a maximum of $1,000 per deposit.

1) Slots Jungle

Dubbed the “King of the Jungle Welcome Bonus”, this hefty incentive earns its name. Players new to Slots Jungle will receive a 250% Match Bonus on their first four deposits (up to $2,500 a piece) that could potentially gift them with $10,000 to go towards any and all of Slots Jungle’s awesome online slot machines.

Don’t forget that the internet is teaming with sites that may offers better bonuses than the ones I have listed, but some only apply to Table Games, or carry restrictions towards using your bonus on slots games. Make sure to use this guide as a stepping stone, and to always to your research before joining an online casino.

One of the leading destinations for online poker has been AdamEvePoker.com, which revolutionized the online poker industry with its wide selection of games. Now the same guys behind AdamEvePoker.com are primed to do it again – but this time, they’re widening their gaze. AdamEveCasino.com was recently launched, and it promises to put the “sin” in Original Spins.

That’s right, there are around 100 games available, and a good chunk of them (26 in total) are wacky, delightful online slot machines! The software has been developed by Cake Gaming, the same people behind the software at AdamEvePoker.com, so players can sleep well at night knowing the software is as top-notch as can be!

AdamEveCasino.com has some ambitious plans for their future. Says Oleg Kudlaev, manager of the new site, “We’ve selected the best games on the market, which, in combination with our marketing campaigns, will enable us to become one of the best casino sites on the market.”

In order to celebrate the launch, AdamEveCasino.com is offering players a €77 bonus. The best part? You don’t have to deposit in order to receive it! Just sign up, take your bonus, and start playing – all for the purpose of trying out the site.

So far it seems as though the top games being played are: Farm Slots, Freaky Bandits, World Cup Soccer, Vampire Slayers, Freaky Gym and Spin the World. All of the games offered by AdamEveCasino.com are 3-5 Reel, and boast up to a massive 30 pay lines!

So you like playing online slots? You have probably already become acquainted with WinADayCasino.com then. No? Well, for those who have not yet tried out the popular site, WinADay is well known for their unique — some would say ‘unorthodox’ — approach to online slot machines. The games at WinADay implement bonus rounds that literally transform the slot machine into any number of other games, like a Fair Simulator in their last most-recent addition, Fair Tycoon.

Now the site known for revolutionizing the way you play slots has decided to go back to basics. With their newest game, Fruitful 7s, WinADay is proving that they can do classic slots better than Las Vegas in the 1960s. Okay — so maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point I am trying to make.

Fruitful 7s is a traditional, five-reel fruit machine like the kind one could expect to find in his/her favorite pub. It can pay out up to 500 times a player’s wager during the basic game, and up to 2500 times during the bonus game. If one is lucky enough, he/she could be looking at a lot of cash.

Michael Hilary, the Manager of WinADayCasino.com, could barely contain his enthusiasm regarding the game. In a statement he released that announced the new game, Hilary remarked on the decision to go back to basics.

“Players definitely love the really spectacular games with elaborate bonus features but the simpler games like Slot-O-Matic are also popular. So, for the new Fruitful 7s we thought we’d get back to basics with old school lemons and cherries. No genies. No mummies. No built in sim game. Just good old cherries, lemons, sevens and bars.”

Fruitful 7s is the site’s 25th one-of-a-kind, proprietary game, which means it can only be played at WinADayCasino.com. Players should also keep an ear to the rumblings on the site’s Facebook page. Hilary also announced that a 26th game is soon to be released, and that fans will be able to decide the name of it by taking part in a Facebook-only contest.

VIP Slots is a slots game oriented online casino. While they do provide other casino games, the main focus is on their Vegas Technology online slots game lineup. So it is no surprise that most of the tournaments they offer are slots tournaments.

Right now this week’s Slottery is underway. The Slottery is a mid-week tournament that runs during the week to give players the chance get in some tournament action between weeks and maybe win a few bucks. The Slottery always begins on a Monday and runs through each Thursday. Instead of playing for a set prize pool, the top forty players on the leader board will receive a percentage of the pot. Each week’s Slottery carries an entry fee of $5 which gives players a $200 tournament balance.

Then comes the weekend and with it VIP’s weekly Weekender. The Weekender is the tournament series that takes place every weekend. Essentially it is just like the Slottery except instead of having a four day run, the Weekender only lasts for three days. The entry fee is still $5 and slots players are still playing for a portion of the pot.

Both the Slottery and Weekender offer a different online slots game each week, so it is never the same tournament twice.

Also happening right now is a special holiday online slots tournament called the Great Egg Hunt. This is a month long tournament with an Easter theme. Entry into the Great Egg Hunt is $10 and pits players against each other on the Funky Chicken slots game in an effort to top the leader board and win the largest portion of the $50,000 prize pool. This is a networked tournament with players at VIP not only playing against each other but against members at VIP Slots’ sister casino Slots Galore.

All three tournaments are open for the registration at VIP Slots—even the Slottery is still open for players to join.

Not one to be left out of festivities, Slots Galore is keeping up with the online casino brethren and is hosting their own Halloween inspired online slots tournament.

This is a month lone tournament that began back on October 1st and will end on October 31st. Because of the month long run, there is still plenty of time to get in on this tournament’s action, and play your way up the leader board to win a portion of the prize pool.

Slots Galore has set the prize pool for Scary Money at $100,000 of which $85,000 is in cash prizes and $15,000 is in bonus money. Some places will have more than one player as a recipient of a portion of the prize pool, most particularly the bonus money places. Here is the breakdown:

1st place: $50,000
2nd place: $10,000
3rd place: $5,000
4th place: $2,500
5th place: $1,000
6th place: $500
7th place: $250
8th place: $100 bonus money
9th place: $50 bonus money
10th place: $10 bonus money

Players that are interested can enter the Scary Money tournament for $10, which will give them $500 as a tournament balance. Players are allowed to make rebuys for another $10, which will give them another $500 should their tournament balance hit $5 or less.

The online slots game for this tournament is the Vegas Technology creation Black Magic. It is a five reel online slots game with twenty five paylines. This online slots game carries the darker myths and imaginings having to do with black witchcraft, including snakes, spider, skulls and crystals of power.

Slots Galore is a sister online casino of VIP Slots. Since they are sister casinos, this slots tournament is being hosted in conjecture with each other, meaning that players at Slots Galore are playing in the same tournament as the players playing in the Haunted $100,000 at VIP Slots.

Slots Galore, along with VIP Slots, has  put together an incredible slot tournament to celebrate the thrills and chills of both Halloween and slots games. Slots Galore
