I always seem to get Cherry Red Casino and Lucky Red Casino mixed up. I guess it’s because they’re both Realtime Gaming casinos with the word “red” in the title. So I have to keep reminding myself, Cherry Red is the one with the flash footage of the hot model in the red dress. Lucky Red is the online casino that always has some new weekly bonus to report.

Now that I have that sorted out, I should tell you about the current weekly bonus. Though many of the bonuses repeat over time, at any given time if you go to Lucky Red, you will find a list of promotions – ongoing and upcoming – on the promotions page.

This mid-week casino bonus doesn’t have a cool or catchy name like they often do, so I will come up with it. I think I’m going to call it the Free Money For Taking Free Money bonus. Maybe that’s not so clever, but it is descriptive. Lucky Red Casino is offering a match bonus on your deposits and if you claim enough bonuses, they’ll give you can extra bonus as a reward. Sounds good, right?

For players of online slots, scratch cards and keno, the casino is offering a 60% match bonus, with an upper limit of $1,000. However, that bonus can be redeemed an unlimited number of times, meaning there is no real cap on the bonus. The coupon code for that bonus is HUMPDAY.

For players of online blackjack, video poker and other table games, the casino offers a 45% match bonus, with a maximum bonus of $1,000. Again, the bonus can be claimed an unlimited number of times. The coupon code for that bonus is UPHILL.

If you redeem either of those bonuses five times, Lucky Red will give you an additional $25 bonus as a gift. That bonus is also unlimited, so you can receive a free $25 for every five bonuses you redeem.

To take part in what I’m calling the Free Money For Taking Free Money bonus, visit Lucky Red Casino.

There are many things I like about the Mayan culture. They are responsible for beautiful architecture, beautiful women, beautiful carvings and other art. Let’s face it, even Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto was beautiful in a graphic, barbaric kind of way. For that reason, I’m thrilled that Real Time Gaming has released the new online slot called Mayan Queen.

The Mayan Queen online slot has a jungle background and symbols of Mayan jewelery, leopards, pottery, treasure and more. The game is a 25-payline slot with a maximum jackpot of $150,000. Bets can be made in denominations from a penny to $5.

The emerald is the scatter symbol, depending on its placement, it can trigger free spins or a multiplication of the payout amount by up to 500 times the bet. The queen herself is a wild symbol, which can stand for any symbol except the scatter symbol. When the queen appears, she takes up the entire reel and raises her scepter in a unique animation.

I have to admit that when I saw the press release for this slot, I got really excited thinking of the African Queen, which is one of my favorite Humphrey Bogart movies. A game about a Mayan queen is almost as good, though. Come to think of it, I think I need to call up RTG and suggest an African Queen game. Bogart and Hepburn immortalized in an online slot? Sounds good to me!

Mayan Queen is available at all of Real Time Gaming’s online casinos, including Cherry Red, Rushmore Casino and Slots Oasis. To get your game on, visit one of RTG’s online casinos today.

When it comes to online slots, there is always a debate about whether it’s better for a slot to pay out often or pay out in large amounts. With progressive slots especially, the less often it pays out the bigger the jackpot when someone does hit it. While that may be a great deal for the person who hits the jackpot, it’s not so good for those who play it and get nothing back. Online slots that pay out more often, even though they don’t make anyone rich, reward more players for their business. One such example is The Shark, a new progressive slot found at Cherry Red Casino.

The Shark is earning a reputation for paying out on a regular basis. Combine that with the low cost of playing – the game is played with $.01 coin denominations – and it’s quickly becoming a hit with online gamers in the struggling global economy. In tough times like these, many people want to turn to a sure thing. While there are no sure things when it comes to gambling – if there was, it wouldn’t be a gamble – online slots that pay out frequently and have a low playing cost are as close as it comes.

The Shark is designed by Real Time Gaming, one of the world’s leading online casino software providers. In addition to its high payout frequency and low denomination, The Shark also has a free mode, where players can give it a try without putting any money down.

To play The Shark, visit Cherry Red Casino today.
