Online Vegas greets its new players as they come in the door with $5,000 to play with.

Well, since it is an online casino new players are not literally walking through a door. But when they make their first deposit they will receive the first of ten deposits that are a part of Online Vegas’ Welcome Bonus.

The $5,000 is spread out over a new player’s first ten deposits. The deposits have different match percents to them with a maximum bonus amount. The breakdown looks like this:

1st deposit: 100% worth up to $500
2nd deposit: 125% worth up to $375
3rd deposit: 150% worth up to $750
4th deposit: 25% worth up to $250
5th deposit: 25% worth up to $250
6th deposit: 25% worth up to $250
7th deposit: 25% worth up to $250
8th deposit: 25% worth up $250
9th deposit: 25% worth up $250
10th deposit: 200% worth up to $2,000

It actually adds up to $5,125 but that is what Online Vegas is saying for this bonus.

To get each deposit a slots player must deposit a minimum of $25, but to take full advantage of this Welcome Bonus an online slots player really needs to deposit the maximum amount for each deposit, which looks like this:

1st max: $500
2nd max: $300
3rd max: $500
4th max: $1,000
5th max: $1,000
6th max: $1,000
7th max: $1,000
8th max: $1,000
9th max: $1,000
10th max: $1,000

With those maximum deposit amounts multiplied by the percent of the bonus amount you will come up with those maximum worth amounts.

Online Vegas is good about making sure their online slots players get their bonus amounts. The first bonus amount is automatically credited. The other nine require the claim code, which is easily found on the promotions page of their website, and a call to their customer support staff to have the bonus amount credited—but you must do that as soon as you make the deposit before playing.

What a way to end March!

Go Casino is hosting a Weekend Madness online slots tournament this weekend. It will begin at 8pm this Friday, March 26th and will run through 8pm on Tuesday, March 30th.

The $50,000 prize pool for Go’s Weekend Madness is broken down into $30,000 in money and $20,000 in Bonus Bucks.

Any slots player who wishes to play in this tournament only needs to pay the $12.99 entry fee. Each slots player then receives 325 in coins for their stake. If anyone runs out, they can rebuy back into the Weekend Madness tournament for another $12.99. But really, when you think about it, $12.99 for a piece of that $30,000 and $20,000 in Bonus Bucks is not bad at all.

The final Weekend Madness tournament for March will be played out on Reel Deel.

Reel Deel is an online slots game version of the game show ‘Deal or No Deal.’ This is a five reel with twenty paylines.

Symbols bring to mind the game show, including the Host, Game Show Girls, Cash and a Check. There is a Scatter Deal Button symbol and a Wild Gold Bar.

There is of course the Golden Briefcase. Three of them on any active payline will trigger the bonus game. The bonus game is structured like the game show. Slots players will be presented with a number of briefcases. They will be able to choose a set number before the game offers a deal. If the slots player refuses, he is allowed to choose another set. This continues until the player takes what is in the first briefcase he chose or a deal offered by the game.

Because of the bonus game being like the game show, this is a very exciting online slots game to play. And it is worthy of being the game that an online slots tournament is played out on, and slots players are bound to enjoy it.

Drop by Go Casino on Friday to enter the last Weekend Madness slots tournament for the month of March, and see if you get to be one of the slots players who gets a piece of that $50,000.

I have to say that I was first annoyed when I dropped by VIP Slots, clicked on Tournaments and only saw a screen talking about all these chances you have to win at VIP in their tournaments…but did not show me their tournament schedule. I found that to be a bit of tease—I mean telling me all about all these ways to win in these great tournaments but not telling me a word about them.

It turns out you have to log in to the casino first to see their tournament schedule. So oops, my bad.

But once I logged in and clicked on Tournaments in the Lobby I was rather surprised when the schedule popped up—rather surprised and excited.

VIP’s tournament schedule is definitely new and improved! This new way of listing their tournaments is more detailed than their previous method of listing.

For example, VIP is hosting a St. Patrick’s Slottery at the moment. It started on March 14th and is running through the 21st.  It tells you the slots game being used, the start and end times, the entry fee, the stake and that rebuy is available and how much it is. Nothing new there.

But this new schedule gives you even more information. For example, at the time of this post, I can tell you that there are 362 people playing in the St. Patrick’s Slottery. You can enter this tournament up until 6pm on the 21st.  Your maximum number of rebuys is 100 at $5 a rebuy. The total prize pool is $3,345.00 divided up as such:

1st: $1,170.75
2nd: $669.00
3rd: $334.50
4th: $250.88
5th: $33.45
6th: $16.72
7th: $8.36
8th: $2.79

The Slotteries are always playing for The Pot, which is whatever contestants have paid in, including rebuys. The more people playing, the more The Pot is.

The great thing about the new way VIP lists their tournaments is that it gives you all this extra information that you did not used to have available, such as prize pool break down and the number of people playing. VIP also updates this every few minutes so that the information stays current.

The reason for this new method of giving tournament details is that some players were entering tournaments on multiple accounts, increasing their chances of winning and making the tournament unfair to others playing in it.

So a big hand to VIP for finding a way to stop this. Players can only view, and also enter, tournaments when logged in. They have put a stop to players entering multiple times.

Just having the extra details is nice, but to know that VIP is stepping up to the plate on behalf of their slots tournament players proves that they have earned their name of VIP Slots Casino.

What can you get for $1.99 today?

Well, you can drop by a fast food restaurant and order something from there. You could have a taco or a small order of fries from what I hear.

You could buy a couple packs of gum from the checkout line at a grocery store.

Or you could try your luck at Online Vegas in one of their Frugal Friday slots tournaments. And since today is a Friday, today is a good day to take the Frugal Friday tournament for a spin.

You just might get $1,500 for $1.99.

And if I had my choice of a taco, a couple packs of gum or $1,500 I would take that last option.

Online Vegas reaches out to slots players who love to play the games, particularly in tournaments, who have been hit by the poor economy.

With more and more people having to put their money into their survival, recreation budgets have taken a hit. And more and more people are looking for inexpensive ways to have fun. And if they can find inexpensive ways to enjoy the things they have always enjoyed all the better.

And Online Vegas has arisen to meet the demand for inexpensive entertainment for slots fans. But they do not stop at offering play-for-free options to their slots games. They offer cash-strapped slots players a chance to win some extra money doing something they love.

Online Vegas’ Frugal Friday slots tournaments will give players 150 coins for $1.99. With those 150 coins slots players can play for their share of the $1,500 prize pool.

Frugal Fridays begin at 9am every Friday, and end at 7:45pm the same day. Online Vegas changes the game each week to keep the excitement of the tournaments up. To get in on these inexpensive slots tournaments click over to Online Vegas.

So. A taco, a couple packs of gum or $1,500?

Go Casino has made it easy to play in an online slots tournament. Now they have cut down on the time it takes to win in one.

Go hosts the $8,888 Tournament. This tournament runs four times per week for twenty four hours on each tournament. The first one of each week begins at 7pm on Monday and ends at 7pm Tuesday. The weekly schedule for the $8,888 Tournament is as follows:

Monday 7pm-Tuesday 7pm
Tuesday 7pm-Wednesday 7pm
Wednesday 7pm-Thrusday 7pm
Thursday 7pm-Friday 7pm

Each tournament has two payouts. Each awards $4,444 but also $4,444 in bonus bucks as well.

The beauty to these tournaments is that you have four shots each week to win. If you do not win one you can always play in the next one. With a twenty four hour run time it is never long until a slots player can try again.

Entry into a single $8,888 Tournament is only $6.99 and you are given 250 credits to play with. If you run out the rebuy is only another $6.99. But when you think about it, $6.99 is not a bad entry fee when you consider the prize pool is $8,888.

Go also changes the slots game used in each tournament. The games being played during the week of March 8th through March 11th are as follows:

Monday’s tournament: Funky Chicken—a five reel with twenty five paylines and 15 free spins with a random multiplier.

Tuesday’s tournament: 20,000 Leagues—a five reel with twenty five paylines with two Wilds and 10 free spins awarded for each submarine in the triggering combination.

Wednesday’s tournament: Tiki Lounge—a five reel with twenty five paylines and twenty free spins with doubled winnings.

Thursday’s tournament: Vegas Party—a five reel with twenty five paylines and fifteen free spins can be won in which all winnings are tripled.
