Thre third and final session of the big Summer Slots series at Superslots (and English Harbour) is underway. 

during the month of August, players will be taking spins in a tournament that makes use of the “Reel Deel” slot machine at the casinos.  there is $200,000 in prize money up for grabs, and whoever is at the top of the leaderboard when the tournament finishes at the end of August will take home $50,000!

that’s kindof news, but these days there are some pretty high cash tournaments going on at a couple of casinos, so it’s not completely earth-shattering.  what is great, and i may never get tired of smiling at this, is that the way this big name slots tournament is set up, just about everyone should win.

how?

here’s a snapshot of the tourney board from this afternoon, 10 days into the big event.  there are 2008 players who paid the entry fee of $10 to take thier spins.

 

 the top 1,500 places pay more than $10.  the top 8,000 places pay at least $10. 

well, it’s looking like out of those 2,008 players, 1,500 (or 75% of them!) have made $15 in profit. 

THAT is what’s so amazing about the Summer Slots Series at Superslots and English Harbour. 

and yes, both casinos have inviting sign up bonuses for new players.  you can visit their websites to see what the current bonuses are.  in fact, you should probably do that soon because this is the final leg in the big Summer Slots series and it all comes to a close at the end of the month!

i was on my way to check out the happenings in the third leg of the Summer Slots series at English Harbour (it’s also running at Superslots), and decided to check in on free slots tournament of the day.

today they are running a $0 entry fee tournament on the Funky Chicken slot machine.  and, since i have a little time to play with, and i’ve never played the Funky Chicken slot before, i thought i’d sit down, take some spins and a do a review of the game.

here’s what the reels look like . . .

you can see that the theme of the slot game is a cartoony farm setting.  the symbols on the reels are the basic “Ace through Ten” plus a half dozen characters taken from right off the farm.  before i get into those though, i need to mention that this 5 REEL slot game has a whopping 25 PAYLINES!

that bears repeating - 25 PAYLINES are available on the Funky chicken slot game.  and you can wager anywhere from a penny a line (which means each spin costs a quarter) up to $10 on each payline you activate.  i’m not sure exactly how many people are wagering $250 on each spin, but i suppose there are some pretty big bankrolls out there.

in order to land a winning combination you’ll probably need to line up three symbols in a row.  there are only two symbols that start paying out for “two in a row”, and they are the farmer and the house.  so, that’s how you can stick sooooo many paylines on a slot machine and still not be landing winners every single spin.

FEATURES - the Scarecrow symbol is the WILD symbol on the game.  he’ll help fill in the blanks on any potential winning combination. 

the FUNKY CHICKEN is the other symbol of note on the machine.  he acts as both a scatter symbol, and is the key to unlocking the  free spins session. 

so, if you land two funky Chicken symbols you’ll start earning payouts.  land three or more and you’ve unlocked the Free Spins!

during my time at the machine i managed to unlock a free spins session, and rose to as high as 300th place in the tournament.  but, that was as high as i got - so no money finishes today.
