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coupons must be selected before making the deposit and the bonuses awarded must be wagered 20 times before they can be withdrawn.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

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.
