The release of a new slot game is kind of like the premiere of a new television pilot. Everyone’s excited to find out if it’s going to be any good. There is an air of mystery and anticipation. And honestly, you’re probably hoping that if you dedicate some time to it that it won’t suck (I’m thinking of you, Poochinski – if you don’t know what that is, do yourself a favor and look it up).

Golden Casino is doing their best to satisfy that curiosity by releasing two new online slot games. The first new slot is called Love Bugs. I know what you’re thinking, but before you get too excited, the game has nothing to do with our favorite anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle, Herbie. Instead, it is a romantic game that seems more fitting for Valentine’s Day than for October. Then again, I’ve always said that you should be romantic year-round, instead of just on one day in February.

Love Bugs is the kind of game that Barry White would love, filled with bouquets of flowers, love letters, chocolates in heart-shaped boxes and more. As for the bonus round, it is a romantic gondola ride through Venice. Yes, it’s a cliché, but I challenge you to find a girl who wouldn’t love that. The online slot is a 5-reel, 25-line game that pays up to 5,000 times your wager.

Bangkok Nights is the other new slot game, which is kind of the antithesis of Love Bugs, since Bangkok is best known for its pollution, mold, drugs and sex slave trade. Oh, but the capital of Thailand is also known for its night life, which is what is featured in this game. The online slot features imagery from night clubs and carnivals, including dancing girls, masks and jewelry. It is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot game that features a fun bonus round called Pick and Win, which is played pretty much like the game show Deal or No Deal (a show whose pilot, in my opinion, should not have been picked up).

With the two new games and upcoming Halloween slot tournaments at the end of the month, now is a good time to visit Golden Casino. To play the new games, join Golden Casino today.

Halloween is my second favorite holiday, no doubt about it. Maybe it’s the changing of the leaves or the free candy. Or perhaps I enjoy monster movie marathons and costume parties that make it so good? While I’d like to think all of those things play a part, by far the best part of the season is the Halloween online slot promotions. Sure, you’re saying “But Ricky, every month brings with it cool online slot promotions.” Correct. But not every month’s slot tournaments have cool names like “Halloween Weekend Madness $66,666 Guaranteed Tournament,” “The Fearfully Fun Fright Night Freeroll,”or “Black Magic” slot. And let’s face it…when it comes to online slots, it’s all about the theme.

Golden Casino and Online Vegas are unleashing three delightfully terrifying online slot promotions for Halloween. The first, The Fearfully Fun Fright Night Freeroll guarantees $2,666 begins October 30 at 10am EST and to play, all must have a real money account. As the name suggests, The Fearfully Fun Fright Night Freeroll even ends at a scary time one minute before midnight. The freeroll utilizes the Black Magic slot and offers a chillingly appropriate “grim” prize of $666. On top of that, the top 200 players will also receive some tricks and treats of their own.

Another one of the goodies offered by Online Vegas and Golden Casino is the Halloween Weekend Madness $66,666 Guaranteed tournament. The thrills and chills will last from October 30 at 8pm EST and continue its haunt for the rest of the weekend. The weekend long online slot tournament boasts a prize pool of $66,666 and an entry fee of $13.13 with the top prize totaling $16,666.

Cash prizes for the “survivors” will go all the way down to 500^th place which is so awesome…it’s scary? (Sorry I’m getting carried away with the Halloween thing here.) The online slot featured in the tournament is the all new Monster Money slot consisting of a guaranteed bonus round where players explore a haunted castle in search of huge payouts.

Golden Casino and Online Vegas are also inviting online slots lovers to discover their Columbus Day Free Entry $20,000 Guaranteed promotion starting October 12^th for all players with real money accounts. Columbus day being my favorite holiday, I might have to check that one out as well.

All the little birdies on Jaybird Street are heading to Golden Casino. That’s because right now there is an online slot tournament for the Rockin Robin game. The competition is a 24-hour tournament and began yesterday at 7:00 PM. There is a $5 entry fee. Upon entering the tournament, players are given 250 credits to wager. There is a $5,000 prize pool for the Rockin Robin tournament.

Before you jump to conclusions, this is not an online slot to exploit Michael Jackson’s recently renewed popularity. The slot was around before Jackson’s death and there is no resemblance to him or any of the Jackson 5 in the game. Instead, there is an image of a cartoon robin that does the bob and goes tweet tweet tweet.

You’ll be singing “go bird, go” if you take part in the Rockin Robin tournament. With such a small entry fee, a fairly generous prize pool, and a game that is just plain fun to play, in no time you’ll find yourself hoppin’ and a boppin’ and singing his song.

To enter the tournament, visit Golden Casino today.

I love it when companies decide to honor fine, respectable citizens with endorsement contracts. Unfortunately, that doesn’t happen often. Instead, we see endorsements for the likes of Allen Iverson, Tony Stewart and Kobe Bryant. Even Ray Lewis has lucrative endorsement deals despite being involved in a murder. Golden Casino has an online slot featuring another bad apple, though at least, to my knowledge, he has never been involved in anyone’s death.

Dennis Rodman Slots is a popular title at Golden Casino and is being featured in a slot tournament this week. It is a five-reel online slot featuring Rodman’s ugly mug, basketballs, and other symbols. And because I’m sure you were wondering, yes, there is a picture of Rodman in a wedding dress. It’s actually the bonus symbol.

In bonus games, players earn extra coins by headbutting officials, kicking cameramen, and shooting an air ball from the free throw line…Okay, actually I made up all of those bonus games, but it would be fitting. Back during his playing days, there was a debate about whether Rodman was good or bad for basketball. Those who supported him said that the game needs a villain and Rodman was the perfect choice. Those who were against him were offended that they had to pay $50+ for tickets to see a punk like Rodman make millions playing a game that he doesn’t even really care about. One thing is certain, though. Rodman was always a controversial figure. Controversy sells, and that’s likely the reason for the online slot’s success.

What makes me curious, though, is why the online slot features something Rodman didn’t do very well (playing basketball), but does not represent either of Rodman’s greatest achievements. When I think of Rodman’s accomplishments, I think of his starring role in Double Team, the action movie masterpiece that paired him with fellow thespian-extraordinaire Jean-Claude Van Damme. His other great accomplishment was briefly dating Carmen Electra. Sure, Electra is kind of weird and freaky (she is, after all, married to Dave Navarro), but she’s weird and freaky in a hot kind of way. Rodman, on the other hand, well, I can’t think of an accurate way to describe him that can be printed in Gambling Review.

For whatever reason, Golden Casino decided not to feature his acting or dating accomplishments in the Dennis Rodman online slot. Fans of Rodman, if such a thing exists, can still play the game if they can handle seeing his face that many times without having nightmares. There is, of course, a reward for that bravery. The current tournament has a $5,000 prize pool. So if you’re in the mood for The Worm, dye your hair, get tatted up, put in your piercings and start wagering on the Dennis Rodman Slots at Golden Casino. Just remember to leave your bad attitude behind when you log off of the site, because not all dirty, narcissistic, vulgar, mean-spirited egomaniacs get to go out with women that look like Carmen Electra.

Golden Casino has two online slot tournaments this month with a theme relating to major holidays, Labor Day and the NFL’s opening day. Okay, the kickoff of the National Football League isn’t officially recognized as a holiday, but it may as well be. Surely more people watch the football game than the parades during Thanksgiving. Most of America can’t wait for football season to begin again as soon as it ends, which includes Brett Favre even after he retires.

Labor Day in the United States is the first Monday in September and it is a celebration of American laziness by picking a day where no one works. Actually, I think the holiday has something to do with unions or something like that, but to most Americans, all it means is it’s a Monday where you don’t have to work. Good news! That gives you more time to gamble!

Starting tomorrow and running through September 11, Golden Casino is running the Labor Day Week Long Tournament. The tournament has a $100,000 prize pool, with the winner earning $35,000 and each of the top 500 finishers taking some kind of prize.

The NFL season begins on September 10, as does Golden Casino’s Countdown to Kickoff online tournament. The online slot tournament has a football theme and a $2009 prize pool. Players can pass the time during commercial breaks by making bets ranging from a penny to $10. In a game, between defensive powers Pittsburgh and Tennessee, that is expected to have a lot of punts and thus, a lot of commercial breaks, hitting the slot tournament could be a good way to keep yourself entertained.

To celebrate either American laziness or the return of concussions and countless people overrating Tom Brady, visit Golden Casino.

Wouldn’t it be great if online casinos just gave away cash with no strings attached? Well, the good news is that one just did. The bad news is that you probably missed it. Sorry. I would’ve told you sooner if I had known.

Golden Casino launched their “September to Remember” promotion yesterday. Part of the promotion involved giving away money. Yesterday Golden Casino held the One Day Only Mystery Event. Online casino players were encouraged to contact the customer support department and claim the Pick a Door, Any Door bonus. I bet you can guess what the game was… That’s right. There were three doors, each with some amount of cash behind it, and players who redeemed the code got to pick one of the three doors and keep any cash hidden behind the door. They did not have to wager the money and risk losing it. It was really free money. If you missed out on the chance, be sure to sign up for Golden Casino’s mailing list so you can be updated on all of their promotions.

Aside from the One Day Only Mystery Event, Golden Casino is running another promotion all this week. Yesterday began the September Kickoff $10,000 Guaranteed tournament. To participate in the tournament, players need only make a $9.99 deposit and start with a balance of $300. That money must be wagered at least 20 times before any prizes can be claimed. The online slot tournament also has an unlimited number of re-buys.

With online casinos hurting for businesses, look for an increased number of promotions across the board. So far it seems that Golden Casino has found the best promotion. I certainly can’t think of a better one than giving away free money. To enter the September Kickoff $10,000 Guaranteed tournament, visit Golden Casino today.

Right now, for better or worse, Golden Casino’s progressive slots are not paying out. While it’s bad that the jackpots aren’t paying out in short intervals right now, the good news is that means they have high jackpots, so whoever does win will be a very happy gamer. Golden Casino has set a new personal record for their online slot jackpots, amounting to over $2.4 million earlier this week.

Some online casinos don’t like to promote high jackpots on their progressive slots, because it says that they’re not paying out often, but Golden Casino has taken the opposite approach, playing up the fact that winners will win big. Just like with the lottery, each time the pot gets larger, more and more people dream of taking home the big bucks.

The summer months are traditionally rather slow for online casinos in regards to tournaments and other promotions, so promoting their high jackpots for the online slots is likely a good plan. Golden Casino is known more for their freeroll slot tournaments than for their progressive slots, but right now, in a market that is struggling in a recession, any promotion is a good promotion.
