There are a lot of great ways to enjoy the weekend. It can be reading a book, going to the beach, hitting the clubs, mosh-pitting at a concert, taking in a game, watching a movie, playing in online casino tournaments and more. What you want to do with your weekend depends on your taste. There’s really no way Casino Tropez can help you if you’re in the mood for the beach or a baseball game this weekend. They can, however, help with the casino tournaments.

This weekend, Casino Tropez is holding two Elite Challenge tournaments. Those tournaments began yesterday, July 15, and run until July 18. One tournament is an online roulette tournament. In that tournament, you can wager on any online roulette game offered at the casino. In addition to any winnings that you may get from the games themselves, the top 38 wagerers during that time will share a $4,000 prize pool. The top player will win $1,000, with the prizes going down in value from there.

The other Elite Challenge tournament is for slots players. That tournament works the same as the one for roulette. Players can wager on any online slot in the casino and the top wagerers will win prizes from a pool of $4,000. In addition, if you win any money at the slots, you get to keep that money as you normally would.

While you’re playing in the Elite Challenge tournaments, you might want to take advantage of the current deposit bonus promotion. Right now, Casino Tropez is offering a 30% match bonus on all deposits. That bonus promotion runs all weekend, from July 15-18.

If you’re a fan of online slots, it’s hard to beat a free roll slot tournament. After all, you get to play slots for free and in exchange, you might earn prizes. You have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to win. If that kind of real sounds good to you, I suggest checking out Rich Reels Casino.

Rich Reels Casino is offering Free Roll Private Slots tournaments, which you can play on one of four popular games. Those games include the Tomb Raider slot, Hitman, Avalon and Loaded. These slot tournaments are free to enter and there is a tournament every two hours. The tournaments have a $75 prize pool, which isn’t very high but is good considering the lack of an entry fee.

With no buy-in, the free roll slot tournaments offer you a chance to play some fun online slots and earn prizes without actually spending any money. Let’s face it, there aren’t very many ways you can have fun for free at an online casino. Sure, there is the free trial, but you can’t win any money on those. With the free roll slot tournaments, you can win money.

Aside from the free slot tournaments, Rich Reels also offers scheduled slot tournaments for people who don’t mind paying an entry fee for a shot at larger prizes. These scheduled tournaments vary in length, prize pool size, entry fee amount and more.

To take advantage of the free slot tournament, visit Rich Reels Casino.

Time is running out for a good slot promotion at Roxy Palace Casino. Sorry, I would have told you about it sooner but I just found out. Ending at midnight tonight (actually at 12:59 PM) is the slots bonus promotion that rewards players who wager the most on slots.

Pick a slot, any slot and you can be rewarded. This promotion applies to video slots, traditional slots, progressive slots and regular slots. If it’s an online slot offered at Roxy Palace, it counts. During this promotion period, players receive points for all wagers they make on slots and the players who wager the most will earn prizes.

In addition, if you happen to win money playing the slot, you get to keep that as well. This isn’t a slot tournament where you play for points and don’t earn any money on the machines themselves. In this slot tournament, you wager your own real money, win real money and lose real money. Independent of that, you earn points for how much you wager and have the potential to earn prizes.

To qualify for the event, players must deposit and wager at least $100 on slots during the promotion. With the clock ticking away, time is running out to earn prize money.

To take part in the online slot tournament, visit Roxy Palace Casino now.

Platinum Play Casino is one of the leading online casinos in the industry. They have made a name for themselves for providing great games designed by Microgaming. They also have the benefit of being named after a precious metal, which have become increasingly popular among investors since the stock market, the U.S. dollar and Euros continue to go to hell. Laugh if you want, by I assure you that Google searches for gold, silver and platinum have increased drastically within the last year. What does that mean? Nothing, except that it could conceivably draw more traffic to Platinum Play Casino. What should really draw more traffic to their casino is the release of new games, though, and that is exactly what’s happening.

In June, the popular online casino will release three new games from Microgaming: Soccer Safari, Voila and High Speed Poker. Soccer Safari is an online slot that combines soccer (or football if you’re not American) with an African theme. You may have heard that the World Cup is played in Africa this year. This online slot features elephants, giraffes, leopards and more playing soccer. It is a 5-reel, 30-payline online slot that I think will be a big hit as it is launched just in time for the World Cup.

Voila is a game with a French theme. It is an online slot that features symbols of the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees, Arc Triomphe and other things associated with France, including their food, which looks good but I’ve heard tastes terrible. The Voila slot should thrill people from other places who have always wanted to visit France, though.

The third new game coming to Platinum Play Casino is High Speed Poker. This is a poker game that, as the name implies, it meant to be played quickly. The poker game is 3-card draw using a single hand. This game should be popular among people who like the strategy of poker but don’t like how slow the game moves at times.

To play any of the new games, visit Platinum Play Casino.

All Slots Casino is best known for their slot tournaments. I know, that must come as a shocker. The tournaments often have a theme that is in keeping with current events, including holidays. This month, the casino is holding the Christmas Spin promotion. The tournament started on December 8 and runs until January 4, 2010. The tournament has weekly events, each with prizes. The weekly events run from December 8 to December 14, December 15 to December 21, December 22 to December 28 and December 29 to January 4.

It is surely a unique type of promotion, or at least new to me. Members can’t access and play the featured game directly. They have to accumulate enough credits playing other games to get free spins on the game. Points earned on the game then are added to their leader board.

The Christmas Spin promotion is played on an online slot called – you guessed it – Christmas Spin. That’s probably where they got the name, though you can never be sure with the creative types. The prizes for the promotion are credits and the credits are treated as bonuses, in that they must be wagered 30 times before being withdrawn. During the promotion, players will be given one free spin on the Christmas Spin for every 50 credits wagered on any game in All Slots Casino. The points earned on Christmas Spin will accumulate and at the end of each week, the players with the most points will win prizes. Prizes will be given to the top 150 players and they will share a pool of 10,000 credits, with the prizes ranging from 1000 credits for first place to 25 credits each for 81^st through 150^th place.

What makes this promotion appealing is that nothing is required of the players than to do what they normally do. There is nothing extra, like an entry fee. All they have to do is play their favorite games, which they would do anyway, and while risking nothing, get free spins on a specific game, on which they can earn prizes.

To take part in the Christmas Spin promotion, simply log in to All Slots Casino and start playing some games. You know you want to. If you didn’t like gambling you wouldn’t be reading this. So go ahead. Have fun. Tell them I sent you… Actually, don’t. They don’t know me there anyway. And even if they did, you wouldn’t get anything special by dropping my name, so there’s no reason to bother.

Now is the time of year that people splurge on presents for loved ones and people in the office or school that they unfortunately have to get a gift for because of the bad Secret Santa idea. It’s the time of year when charities get more donations than any other time, including those annoying people outside Wal-Mart ringing a bell all day (no, I’m not saying that they’re not good people or that you shouldn’t give them money; I’m only saying that they’re annoying). With all of that spending going on, people tend to cut back on other expenses that are not necessary, including playing at casinos. That is why this is also the time of year that casinos roll out all kinds of good promotions. Right now Blackjack Ballroom online casino is offering 3 December promotions for their online slots. I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t this place called Blackjack Ballroom? Yes, but they have so much more than blackjack. And Mostly Blackjack Though We Also Have Lots of Other Great Games Ballroom doesn’t sound as catchy.

One promotion starts tomorrow, December 5 and runs through Sunday, December 6. The promotion, appropriately enough, is for the online slot game called Ho Ho Ho. No, it’s not a sexist game with a rap theme that is disrespectful of women. It is a game themed after Santa Clause. Anyway, anyone who wagers at least 20 credits on the game will be qualified for a prize at the end of the promotion. Prizes are 100 credits each for 10 players chosen from a random drawing of those who qualify.

From tomorrow, December 5, through December 10, Blackjack Ballroom is running a promotion on the Snow Honeys game. Unlike Ho Ho Ho, this game can actually be considered sexist, or at least some of those easily offended feminists might think so. The online slot has a theme of women playing winter sports, such as skiing in bikinis. For some people, that’s sexy. To me, I worry that they’ll get frostbite. But maybe I’m strange. To qualify for the promotion, players have to wager at least 20 credits on the game. At the end of the promotion, the top 5 wagerers on each day of the promotion will earn 100 credits each.

The third promotion is the big one, which started on December 1 and runs through December 31. The promotion is played on an online slot called Thunderstruck. No, it’s not based on an AC/DC song, though that would be really cool. The slot is actually based on Thor, the Norse god of thunder. And most Blackjack Ballroom players already knew that, since the casino stated that it is the most popular slot game of 2009. Players who wager at least 100 credits on the game will earn double loyalty points.

To take part in the promotions, visit Blackjack Ballroom today.

Some of us are slow to accept that Halloween is over. As I go through my neighborhood, I see lots of houses that still have skeletons, witches and other ghastly things in their yard. Their homes are still covered in cob webs (wait, I hope those are Halloween decorations) and there’s an overall feeling of sadness. But other people have moved on, realizing that we have only 21 days until Thanksgiving.

Millionaire Casino is one establishment that is eager to move on to the next holiday. The Thanksgiving Feast tournament started on November 1 and runs through December 1. The online slot tournament has a $10 entry fee and a $10 rebuy. The tournament has a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000, which can help ease the stress of affording those presents on your Christmas list.

The prize pool is not just going to a couple players, so anyone who joins can feel like they have a shot. The pool will be distributed among the top 275 in the tournament. The distribution is a little odd, but the top player will win $50,000; the second-place finisher will win $20,000 and the third-place finisher will win $7,500. Beyond that, two players will win $2500 each, five players will each win $1000 each, ten players will win $500 each, 20 players will each take home $100, 60 players will all earn $50, 50 players will get $25 each, and finally 125 players will each walk away with an extra $10.

The online slot tournament is played on the game 5 Reel Wheel of Chance, a slot game that resembles the TV show Wheel of Fortune (but not enough to bring a lawsuit). The entry fee gets each player $200 to play with.

To get into the Thanksgiving spirit (the being thankful part, not the gluttony or fighting with your family), be sure to stop by Millionaire Casino and take part in the Thanksgiving Feast tournament. If you win any of those great prizes, you’ll surely have at least one thing to be thankful for.

It seems like all online casinos are trying to get people to spend their Halloween weekend on their site. Some casinos are having Halloween-themed tournaments. Rushmore Casino is offering a slew of bonuses for those that wager on the online slots and other games.

This weekend, Rushmore Casino is holding the Halloween Weekend Bonanza. Players who hit the slots during this period can earn 200% bonuses on their deposits within a $2,000 limit. Depending on what you use as the method of payment, the player will receive a different bonus coupon. The coupons are offered for deposits paid using gift card, credit card, UseMyWallet, Click2Pay, and eWalletExpress. Each can receive one of each coupon, meaning that each player has the potential to earn 5 bonuses of 200% within the limit of $2,000 each if they pay with each method.

The bonus coupons must be selected before making the deposit and the bonuses awarded must be wagered 20 times before they can be withdrawn.

For those who want to play something other than online slots, there are other bonuses available. Rushmore Casino also offers a 150% bonus up to 1,000 for online blackjack players. Like with the slot bonus, there are coupons given out for the five above-listed payment options and players can collect one of each. Aside from blackjack, the bonuses are awarded for playing all other games in the casino except roulette, craps, Pai Gow poker and baccarat. These bonuses must be wagered 50 times before a withdrawal can be made.

For players who are not currently members of Rushmore Casino, the online casino is also offering a 100% match bonus for first time member sign-ups. The match bonus is used on the player’s first two deposits. To take advantage of the great bonuses, make your way over to Rushmore Casino today.

For those who love their technology, which would include probably everyone but the Amish and those who haven’t been exposed to new technology, Lucky Nugget online casino is holding a unique multi-level online slots tournament that should be of interest. The event is called the Techno Tourney and it runs from October 1 to October 20. Winners take home some cool technological goodies.

There are 12 quarterfinals that begin the online tournament, with one running each day. They are freeroll events, so there is no entry fee, though there is a $2 rebuy. In each of the quarterfinals, the first-place winner receives a 1 GB MP3 player. They, in addition to the other top 150 players, will also win free entry to the semifinals. There are three different semifinals.

The first semifinal runs from October 5 through today. The second semifinal takes place from October 9 to October 12 and the third semifinal runs from October 13 to October 16. Players who want to participate in the semifinals and didn’t win their way in can join for a $5 entry fee. The winner of the semifinal wins a 32GB touch-screen media player and the top 300 players advance to the final.

And last but not least is Lucky Nugget’s Techno Tourney Final. The online slot tournament runs from October 17 to October 20. The first-place winner goes home with a nice 13” laptop computer. Not too shabby. But other players get winnings as well. The second through tenth-place finishers share a $250 prize pool.

If you’re a fan of fancy gadgets like laptops and MP3 players, you should visit Lucky Nugget online casino and register for the Techno Tourney online slot tournament 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.
