Slot Machines News

i think i may have set a record for “how long can you go between blog posts?”  I’m not sure, but I know it’s been super-long. 

So, Christmas duties are done, and as a reward I’ve decided to settle into some time at the online casinos as a treat to myself.  Yay ME!!!

As habit has it, the first thing I do is generally check out what’s going on at English Harbour/Superslots.  They always have a slots tournament taking place, and I’m sure with the holidays there would be something big happening.  There is . . .

The “COUNTDOWN TO 2010″ is a bit of a play with the guaranteed prize pool of $201,000.  It’s 100 times better than a $2,010 prize pool. 

Anyway, the tournament is broken into four weeks of action, each on a different machine, and each with its own prize pool.  I’m too late for the first two weeks, but you know how the Christmas season can kindof take up a lot of time. 

They ran “legs” of the tournament on the Dr. Love game and also The Right Prize machine.  This week, between the 14th and the 21st, they’re running a tournament on the “X Marks the Spot” game.  So, it looks like I have a new slot to download!

I took a look at the payouts, and the first thing I noticed is that there is a $5 entry fee for the tourney.  Lol.  I think after all the cash I spent on the holiday I can swing a few $5 bills for myself!

They “only” pay the top 240 or so players, and already there are 890 people involved.  That means someone actually lost.  Over the summer the casino payed out so many places that pretty much every single player placed in the money.  I’m not too shocked that that couldn’t last forever.

It does mean, however, that if you reading this blog and took advantage of those tournaments that you were a very astute online slots player, and my hat is off to you!  Trust me, I keep looking for the good deals

I guess I didn’t realize that it will be a new decade!  That’s kind of a big event, and I think it deserves a slots tournament in honor of it.  So, wish me well on my spins in the big English Harbour “countdown to 2010″ slots tournament.

I’ll put up a review of the machine after I go enjoy a well earned casino visit!
