Perhaps as a way to get people living in the Northern Hemisphere to cope with the sweltering heat and remember our recent record-cold winter, PartyCasino has released a new online slot called Snow Business. To help celebrate the launch of the new game, the online casino is holding a promotion where you can win prize money while playing.

Snow Business is a 5-reel online slot which, as part of The Big One series, has a potentially huge progressive jackpot. The slot has an Antarctic theme, featuring symbols of penguins, polar bears and more. To celebrate its launch, PartyCasino is featuring it in the Big Catch tournament.

During the Big Catch tournament, players can play the online slot like normal, wagering and winning real money. In addition, every point you earn moves you up the leader board and brings you closer to winning prizes. The tournament has a $100,000 prize pool and the players who win the most money will take home prizes of up to $10,000 in casino credits.

In addition to the standard leader board promotion, PartyCasino is also running a pick-your-prize promotion. That part of the promotion has multiple prize levels and in each level, you can either take a prize or move up to the next level. For example, if you have between 500 and 3,000 points, you can either take a $50 cash bonus, which would take you back down to zero points (only in the pick-your-prize part of the promotion) or you can move on to the next prize level, which is from 3,001 points to 5,000 points. At that prize level, you can take a $150 cash prize, so if you can reach that level, it’s a better deal. You also get bonus points for opting to move to the next level rather than taking a prize.

Party Casino has launched a new online slot, called Palladium. If you’re not familiar with the term, palladium is a kind of metal and it is found on the periodic table of elements (Pd). As for the slot itself, it is a 5-reel game that is a bit simplistic, featuring symbols of chips, fruit, bells and the like. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t be excited by that kind of game, but Party Casino is holding a promotion to coincide with this new slot game that caught my attention.

In a tournament that started on July 15 and runs through the end of the month, July 31, players compete for cash and a trip to the Palladium Slot Launch Party. The slot itself is made for high-rollers, with payouts for VIP members of up to $1.8 million on a single spin.

The slot tournament follows a familiar leader board format. The top 50 players in the slot tournament will win some kind of prize. For players who finish in 40^th-50^th place, there is a $100 cash prize. The prizes get better as your rank on the leader board improves, with prizes up to $2,500 cash for the players who finish in 6^th-8th place. The top five players get a different kind of bonus entirely.

In a $5,000 weekend package, Party Casino is sending the top five players to a luxury hotel (with all expenses at the hotel paid), paying for your air fare to fly you there and giving you $1,500 spending money.

You might be wondering, “Where is the party?” Well, where do you want it? There is no physical launch party. The online casino will send you to your destination of choice, with a maximum air fare of $2,000, for you to party however you want. You have all month to play, but only the top 50 players will win.

Customers of Party Casino this month may find themselves surprised with some free cash. The On the House promotion runs from July 20 to July 23 and during that time, players can earn bonuses simply for playing a game at that time.

Maria Anderson, the Casino Manager, will be walking the floor of the casino and if she walks by you while you’re playing, you will get a gift. You don’t have to do anything special, like opt in to a promotion, participate in a tournament or play a featured game. If you are playing any game when she comes by, you will get a free gift. For that reason, your odds improve the more time you spend playing games at the online casino during that time.

In a letter from Ms. Anderson, she states that she “could come by at any time to thank you for choosing us with cash gifts, bonuses and free points on the house.”

Before anyone says something, I’m aware that Party Casino is an online casino and therefore, there is no floor to walk. I’m also aware that “Ms. Anderson” is probably a model hired to represent someone who doesn’t really exist. But it’s more fun to play along, isn’t it?

Here is how it really goes: You log on to Party Casino and start playing your favorite online slots, blackjack, poker or whatever. If the image of the Casino Manager appears on the screen while you’re playing, you will win a gift. If you don’t see her, you’re not winning, but you still play as normal and can win money the old-fashioned way.

If you’re not yet a member of Party Casino, you can join and receive a $500 welcome bonus to get started. You can then use that bonus money to play games on the site and potentially win prizes from the Casino Manager at that time.
