If there is one thing people love about Santa, it’s that bag full of gifts he has thrown over his shoulder. Because of that, and the promise of goodies hidden inside, people are willing to forgive St. Nick for doing things people normally frown upon, such as sneaking into your house through the chimney. With that in mind, PartyCasino is holding a prize promotion called Santa’s Party Pack.

During the promotion, players collect points for playing their favorite casino games. The more you play, the more points you earn. Those points can then be redeemed for prizes, which range from a $5 bonus to a free 32GB iPad for normal players. For players with VIP status, prizes range from $75 to a luxury Caribbean holiday. In addition to the prizes earned by playing games, Santa is also leaving gifts under the tree for some lucky random players.

It is called Santa’s Big Prize Draw. Santa (well, it’s probably really some member of the PartyCasino staff) will draw player names at random and those players will earn extra prizes. Players receive one entry in that drawing for each 20 points earned and there is no limit to the number of entries you can have. The more entries, the better your odds of winning.

In Santa’s Big Prize Draw, ten different non-VIP players will share a prize pool of $10,000. For the VIPs, the prize pool is $20,000, which is shared by three players. The top prize will be $10,000 while the second and third prizes will be $6,000 and $4,000 respectively.

Since this is the day after Halloween, there is a good chance you’re hung over right now. If so, I hope you adjusted the screen so the light doesn’t make your headache worse. As Halloween has come and gone, so have the Halloween promotions, but you don’t have to mourn the loss of those. There are always promotions to be had, such as those being offered by PartyCasino.

Aside from the welcome bonus for new players, which gives out up to $3,000 in bonus money, there are also a good number of bonus promotions for existing members. The Monthly Players’ Bonus is available every month and it is different for every player. This bonus is specifically tailored to you, so whether you’re a high roller or a low roller or whether you like to play slots or blackjack, the bonus will be adapted to fit your playing history. As such, the more often you play at the online casino, the bigger the bonus will be. This is the casino’s way of rewarding you for your loyalty. At the beginning of every month, players should check their account to find out how to claim their Monthly Players’ Bonus.

Another good promotion running at PartyCasino is the Prize Pop promotion, which runs from November 3 through November 10. Various balloons with prizes inside have been set loose in the casino. As you play, for every 10 points you earn, a new Prize Pop balloon will drift into your account. Once you pop the balloon, you will find out what mystery prize is inside. You must pop that balloon within 24 hours, though, or the balloon will drift away. Prizes will be worth up to $250 in free cash.

Many more promotions – including tournament action – can be found at the online casino. To take part and win some bonus money, visit PartyCasino.

October is my second-favorite month of the year, behind only December. I’m afraid October will always be second place, because a month that contains Christmas is tough competition. Still, October has a lot going for it. The weather starts to cool down and get nice, the MLB playoff start (leading to the World Series, also in October), and of course there is Halloween. With its haunted houses, candy, costumes and parties, few days rival Halloween.

In fact, I’m excited enough about Halloween (and not just because of all of the slutty costumes) that I’m going to tell you about the Haunted House promotion at PartyCasino. It doesn’t take place until October 28, but it is worth looking forward to.

From October 28 through October 31, you have to look out for the lady of the haunted house, a ghost lady that would be scary if she wasn’t carrying stacks of cash. At any time she can pounce, but unlike most ghost attacks, this one has a positive result: cash prizes, bonuses and free loyalty points.

To qualify for the random prizes, all you have to do is play any online slot at PartyCasino. To really get into the spirit, it’s recommended that you play Monster Money, Resident Evil or Graveyard Bash.

If you are not yet a member of PartyCasino, this might be a good time to join. New members receive a welcome bonus of up to $3,000. Players of online slots can receive a 100% match bonus on their first four deposits. Each bonus has a maximum value of $750. For players of other casino games, the online casino offers a 100% match bonus with a $200 limit.

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.

Oktoberfest is right around the corner, running from late September through part of October, and a popular online casino wants to help you celebrate. If you don’t know what Oktoberfest is, then you must not be an alcoholic, a former fraternity member, or someone otherwise up on all kinds of beer festivals.

Oktoberfest is a 16-day festival in Munich, Germany, where tourists and locals celebrate Bavarian culture by eating lots of traditional food and, more importantly, drinking massive amounts of beer. If you’re German and love beer, or even if you’re not German but still love beer, it is an exciting festival. PartyCasino is holding a slot tournament that could send you on a trip to Oktoberfest.

It is the Palladium Oktoberfest Chase and in this promotion, the first ten players to collect 10,000 PartyPoints by playing slots during the promotion period will win. The period lasts from August 16 to August 31. During that time, players earn PartyPoints for wagering on online slots and the more you wager, the more points you collect. The first ten players to collect 10,000 points will be rewarded with an exciting prize package.

The Oktoberfest prize package includes two night’s accommodation at a five-star hotel for the winner and a guest. The player and guest then get free dinner (with an open bar) in the Davidoff Lounge, where is followed by a poker tournament. The winners also have free spa treatment or other activities, two passes to Oktoberfest, entry to a VIP party at Pancha nightclub and exclusive VIP hospitality from PartyCasino throughout the trip.

If you win and don’t have anyone to take as your guest, be sure to email me, because I love beer and German food (well, mostly I love beer).

Though the global recession is hurting most businesses, there are some that are thriving. Gun and ammunition manufacturers are making a killing due to Americans who fear that a government that is rapidly expanding its power may soon outlaw the sale of firearms. Fast food restaurants with dollar menus are fattening their wallets because consumers can’t afford good food. The chocolate industry has made a sweet profit because chocolate is a comfort food and right now a lot of people need to be comforted. Whatever company provides the paper for the unemployment offices is doing pretty well, too. The point is, though business in general is bad, some companies are still making money.

Count PartyGaming in that category. Between the second and third quarters of the year, PartyGaming, the parent company of PartyCasino, reported a 17% growth in average daily revenue for their online casino operations. At the half-year point, the company saw underlying earnings rise by 34.8%.

The increase in revenue is attributed to an aggressive marketing strategy as well as the launching of 60 new games. That expansion is believed to have added new customers and convinced established customers to stop by the site more often.  The increase in revenue is very welcome news to the company, who is paying $105 million to the US government in a settlement related to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA).

According to CEO Jim Ryan, though some of their websites have seen losses, PartyCasino has been their biggest earner.  He stated that “Casino has been our star performer and continues to go from strength-to-strength, consolidating our position as the world’s leading online casino.” That is good news indeed. So when you get a stomach ache from eating too much chocolate, log on to PartyCasino and enjoy the new games that have made the online casino profitable.

I know this is going to draw the ire of Ricky, but I’m writing yet again about comic book-themed slots. Yes, it’s Marvel again. I can’t help it. Marvel is pimping their image out almost as much as Obama. At least their CEO didn’t appear on 5 news shows on the same day, though. You have to draw the line somewhere.

Anyway, PartyCasino has launched 4 new Marvel-themed online slots, including Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four and Thor. They have also launched King Kong, which, to my knowledge, has nothing to do with Marvel. Fanboys, feel free to correct me if that’s wrong. That includes you, Ricky.

The Spider-Man slot is the coolest because, let’s face it, Peter Parker is the coolest superhero. The game is a 25-payline slot featuring everyone’s favorite web-slinger. There are two bonus rounds and players can wager as little as $0.01 per line for a chance to win $5,000.

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Revenge is an online slot based on everyone’s favorite green Anger Management poster child. This slot machine has 20 paylines with a bonus round that gives out free games. Bets, like with Spider-Man, can be as little as 1 cent with the possibility of a $5,000 payout.

The Fantastic Four is another new online slot for PartyCasino. To be honest, I’ve never understood the appeal of this comic, because 0/4 of the group is interesting. There’s a big, stupid rock-like guy, a boring girl who turns invisible, a guy who can fly and set himself on fire (okay, that’s kind of cool) and a guy who’s basically like Stretch Armstrong. Admittedly, though, I like the Invisible Girl in the movies, but that’s only because she’s played by Jessica Alba. In any case, this slot has 25 paylines and a $5,000 jackpot.

Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is also featured in a new online slot. Thor is the coolest Avenger because I’m pretty sure all he does is go around smashing things with his hammer, so he’s basically the Gallagher of superheroes. This is a 5-reel, 9-payline online slot with a jackpot of $4,000.

Last but not least of the new PartyCasino slots is King Kong. I still like Donkey Kong better, even though he really doesn’t do anything but stand at the top of a platform and throw barrels at an Italian guy trying to climb a ladder. The King Kong online slot is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot and it should be a hit for anyone who finds kidnapping beautiful blonde women a fun, wholesome form of entertainment.

To play any of the new slots, be sure to visit PartyCasino today. Or I guess you can do it tomorrow. But today would be better if you don’t already have plans.

As I’ve talked about many-a-time, I am a huge comic book geek. However, I have not mentioned my love for literature. So imagine my excitement when PartyCasino launched a new online slot that squeezes all of my favorite things: comics, literature, and online gaming into one convenient package.

Their new slot, Tarzan is a 20 line, five reel branded slot game licensed from Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. and is based upon the adventures of Tarzan: The Lord of the Jungle. While one wouldn’t normally think of Tarzan as a comic book, nor would you think of him as an online slot, but the folks at the worlds largest online casino have most certainly delivered.

My favorite thing about the Tarzan online slot is the pulp-comic look it has to it. The colors harken back to the days where comics were read for fun and not kept in bags. The colors are bright, but muted in tone and give it a real vintage look. As for the play?

Tarzan features fully animated artwork, a story bonus round and a “Tarzan wild scatter” wherein Tarzan swings across the screen, changing symbols wild at random. If you grew up on comics, are a fan of the Tarzan franchise or just looking for a new online slot to try your hand at, I recommend giving this one a go.

The PartyCasino Gold Mega Jackpot still has yet to be hit and has climbed to an unprecedented $3,535,000! Online slot progressive jackpots are a paradox to me. On one hand, there is this huge sum of cash that could be won at anytime by anybody. I think to myself “This jackpot has been building and building for so long it will surely pay out at any moment!” It’s like the last Wonka golden ticket, just sitting there and the longer it isn’t hit, the more it seems that it’s waiting specifically for you. But on the other hand, it says to me, maybe nobody is ever going to win?

“The record Gold Mega Jackpot continues to grow and grow – it is currently the industry’s biggest jackpot waiting to be won! PartyCasino.com continues to rapidly expand its number of games have been added recently, more details of which will be released in the near future.”

Gold Mega Jackpot games at PartyCasino online slots include The Godfather, Mega Fortune Wheel, Super Joker, Super Mystic, Super Fortune Wheel and Super Star. There are actually over 130 games at PartyCasino, 91 of them being online slots and pays out over $10 million a day to players around the world. PartyCasino has been expanding their business, having doubled their selection of games in just seven months, with more on the way.

The Mega Jackpot online slot is the biggest online and can be checked out over at PartyCasino. Hurry up! It could hit any minute! Or not?

A little part of me wants to murder my partner in crime, Jeremy, whenever he writes about the comic book slot promotions because I love comics and he does not. If one were to look at his desk, you would see some Altoids, an iced tea (he finally seems to have given up the cherry cokes) and a bobblehead. Meanwhile, mine is the desk of a true fanboy, with my Superman and Mayor McCheese action figures. So I am particularly excited this lovely morning to get to the PartyCasino Marvel online slot story before he does, much the way he is excited to get to the PayPal or Barney Frank stories before me (the bobblehead is of Barney Frank).

PartyCasino is offering up a super promotion in September for its new line of Marvel online slots which includes The Incredible Hulk, Thor, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four. Online slot players will get 50% extra PartyPoints and cash prizes when playing the Marvel online slots starting Sunday, September 6^th with The Incredible Hulk and Thor and The Amazing Spider-Man and The Fantastic Four on September 20^th.

A leaderboard will run both days and pay out $100 to the players who have earned the most Party Points on the given days of the promotion. In addition to this promotion, PartyCasino’s online slots have 3 progressive jackpots going on. The Marvel Hero Jackpot, Super Hero Jackpot and Hero Jackpots can be hit at any time when betting any amount on a Marvel online slot.

To check out the promotion, mark your calendars for September 6 and 20 and head over to PartyCasino to gamble with the world’s greatest super heroes!
