When I play slots I’m looking for four main things: Entertainment value, high payout percentage, good bonuses, and a decent hit frequency. When I was looking for this I found Casino Titan, and decided that was where I was going to play.

I was already a member, so I effortlessly signed it and selected my game of choice.  This time I’m playing with real money because I’m feeling lucky. Casino Titan has a payout percentage of 96.1% which makes my decision even more justified. they have a variety for any type of player, with over 29 different machines to play, and they don’t all look like slot machines.

I started with the Three Stooges game. I couldn’t resist the urge to make “Moe Money.” I started off slow, only betting a few lines, but eventually got up to betting all lines. I eventually got “Curly Cash” and “Larry Loot.” Needless to say, I had a lot of fun.

After that my love for Paris took my attention to the Paris Beauty game. There I scored a couple triple croissants. I played a couple spins until moving on my way.

I like Casino Titan, I just have to stop myself or I will play for the whole night. They have some of my favorite Online Slots Games, so it is hard to break away, but I managed.  I always like going there because the customer service has never disappointed, and I feel like they genuinely care about their players there.

I had a lot of fun, for sure. Now I’m going to go find other slots games to play so I can tell you about them.

It’s true!

Every company these days has a Groupon. How a Groupon works is you are awarded a coupon, a much discounted coupon, if a certain amount of people sign up for the same coupon, thus the company benefits from the extra business.

Rumor has it there is a Groupon-like company in the works for online casinos. This innovation will greatly impact the industry, and will benefit the player most of all. If you can’t wait any long, one website has already started their own version with their “Crewpon”.

Silver Oaks Casino’s “Crewpon” is one of the best offers around when it comes to online gaming.

How it works is you go to their website. And just for signing up you receive a 200% bonus, and a bonus chip to claim. The amount of your chip all depends on how many people sign up for this awesome offer! Here’s the best part: For every friend you refer your bonus grows, and so does your friend’s.

Last month 1002 players received a $500 bonus, this could be you.

So head over the Silver Oaks Casino and get started playing, referring your friends, and winning money!

It is another few days before we get into the April online slots tournaments, so I thought I would take this week’s post and give some tips on choosing an online slots game. Because let’s face it, we slots players do not play in tournaments 100% of the time. So while we may not have a choice on the slots game being used in an online slots tournament, we do have a choice when we are not playing in a tournament.

There are a couple of statistics about a slots game that you can use. One would be the slots game’s hit frequency; the other is its payout percentage.

Hit frequency is how often the slots game pays out. A high hit frequency bespeaks of a slots game that pays out often, whereas a low hit frequency tells of a slots game that does not hit often. But the one thing to keep in mind is that hit frequency does not give the timing of when a slots game will hit; nothing tells whether it will hit back to back to back or if the hits will be spread out. Also not indicated is how much the payouts will be, whether they will be large payouts or small ones.

But speaking of payouts, that brings us to payout percentage. Payout percentage is a measure of how much a slots game pays out of the total amount of wagers it takes in in a given time period. This percentage takes into account all of the wagers made by all the players of that slots game. So say in a month a slots game takes in $100,000 and has a payout percentage of 97%. That means it will pay out $97,000 in that month. Now this does not mean that one player will win $97,000 or that you will receive 97% of your wagers back; these payouts could be large ones or small ones—it does not matter the increments so long as it pays out 97%.

While those two figures are not very concrete judges of a slots game, they can help serve as a guide. While those two figures do not guarantee anything to you as a player, they can help you to choose the slots game with the highest hit frequency or the highest payout percentage.

Do you find yourself awake late at night? Perhaps you just cannot sleep. Maybe a little action will be enough to make you sleepy. If that is the case there is action to be had seven nights a week at Online Vegas. Online slots tournament action I mean.

One of the online slots tournament series that is hosted at Online Vegas is called the Red Eye Pot Percentage. And as the name suggests, these online slots tournaments go in to the wee hours of the morning.

Each one of these Red Eye online slots tournaments begins at 12:30 am and ends at 8:30 am the same day. And there is one every night. Or every morning depending upon how you look at it.

As also suggested by the name, players are playing for a percentage of the pot. So the more night owls that are up playing, the larger the post. Of course, the less there are the better your chances are of winning that pot. This might be an easy online slots tournament in which to pick up a bit of real money winnings.

To get in on the late night action players need to register for whichever Red Eye they want to play in and pay the $2.99 entry fee. That $2.99 gives players 250 tournament credits to play with. Rebuys are available for $2.99.

Online Vegas as selected seven of its Vegas Technology online slots games for this online slots tournament series, one for each night of the week:

Sunday: Eastern Dragon
Monday: Winter Wonderland
Tuesday: Parrot Party
Wednesday: Tiki Lounge
Thursday: Northern Lights
Friday: Butterflies
Saturday: Fire Hawk

Really it is clever of Online Vegas to offer such an online slots tournament series. Night owls will like what is most likely a diminished competition. And it does give you the chance of winning some real money when you happen to be up late.

Flying in the face of all schooling, VIP Slots is calling their month long online slots tournament $lot$ tember. Yes, all of my English teachers would be very not pleased too.

I am sure that the name of this online slots tournament is VIP Slots’ way of rebelling against the fact that schools traditionally resume in early September. Way to go, VIP!

$lot$ tember began back on September 1st and will run through the entire month of September, ending at 12:01 am on October 1st. So plenty of time for interested online slots players to join in the flouting of conventional English.

Entry into this online slots tournament is set at $10, which gives the player $75 in tournament credits to spin the reels with.

VIP is also offering rebuys to those players who find themselves in need of more tournament credits. Another $75 in credits can be yours for another $10. Players can each make a maximum number of 1,000 rebuys. Hey, there has to be a cut off at some point.

And of course with this being a month long online slots tournament, $lot$ tember is offering some nice cash prizes and bonus cash prizes:

1st place: $50,000
2nd place: $20,000
3rd place: $7,500
4th place: $2,500
5th place: $1,000
6th place: $500
7th place: $100 bonus cash
8th place: $50 bonus cash
9th place: $25
10th place: $10

You have got to love an online slots tournament that is awarding cash prizes, even if the hosting online casino is flying in the face of spelling conventions.

In all seriousness many online casinos are switching to awarding bonus cash instead of cash prizes. This is most likely due to a poor economy with less people gambling online.

Right now there are 801 players registered and spinning the reels on Beat the Bank, the online slots game being used for this tournament. This is a five reel online slots game produced by Vegas Technology with twenty five paylines.

There is still plenty of time to drop by VIP Slots and get in on this online tournament and to support the charming misspelling of September in their $lot$ tember online slots tournament.

Would you like a piece of that 100K for your labors?

Go Casino is pulling out all the stops for their Labor Day online slots tournament. Everything a slots player could want from an online slots tournament is here:

First the Labor Day online slots tournament is a freeroll tournament. There is no entry fee to get in on the Labor Day fun. And with $100,000 up for grabs, what is not to lose? Registering for this freeroll online slots tournament will get players 75 tournament credits for free to play with. Should anyone run out and wish to continue in the tournament, rebuys are available for $12.99.

Second this is no here and gone online slots tournament. Players have a whole week to play with their 75 credits—or with the credits they get through rebuys.

The Labor Day Freeroll will begin at 10 pm this Friday, September 3rd, and will run through 10:45 pm next Friday, September 10th. This gives players a whole week to take part in this freeroll and take their shot at a piece of that 100K.

Third, this freeroll online slots tournament has a prize pool of $100,000. Typically Go’s highest prize pool in a month is only $75,000, with $50,000 on their other tournaments. But this month the prize pools have turned. This month Go is paying out $100,000 on this freeroll tournament, and only paying out $30,000 for their other three weekend tournaments. So if you want your shot at a high prize this Labor Day freeroll is for you.

Go’s Labor Day freeroll is going to be played out on California Gold, a five reel online slots game from Vegas Technology with twenty five paylines. The strike it rich theme of this online slots game works perfectly with the Labor Day Freeroll that Go Casino is hosting.

Free entry, $100,000 up for grabs and a week to play—who could not ask for more from an online slots tournament?

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.

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.
