Superslots Casino

While I’m writing this, there’s still time to get into the Free Slot Tournament at Superslots that’s taking place on the “X Marks the Spot” slot mchine they have. Of course if you’re catching this post some time after March 29, 2010, it’s still a good review of the X Marks the Spot slot machine.

The game is found under the “5 Reel Bonus” slot category at the casino.  As expected, it is a five reel video style slot game.

There are 20 different paylines on this Island Treasure Adventure themed slot.  So, there are a lot of ways to win.  And all of them go from left to right across the reels.  Well, except for the SCATTER SYMBOL.

The Cannon is the SCATTER Symbol, and if you land three or more of these anywhere on the screen you have a winner!  Not only do you receive credits for landing the symbols, the Scatter is also the key to unlocking the FREE SPINS SESSION.

You’ll receive 15 Free Spins, where the value of any winning combination that you land is TRIPLED!  So, finding those cannons can be very rewarding!

The Free Spins Feature is only one of the things that make the X Marks the Spot slot exciting.  The game also has a BONUS ROUND.  You unlock that by landing the Bonus Symbol, which appears on reels 1, 3, and 5.  During the bonus round you’ll play a game with a pirate that you command.  You send him off to seek treasure at different points on a map, and you’re guaranteed to find something!

So basically, the X Marks The Spot slot machine is a treasure hunting pirate themed slot, which is a perfect theme for a slot. It’s not as though we play the game and not think about unlocking some treasure for ourselves! The Free Spins round and the Bonus Game add some excitement to the machine. And of course the 20 paylines keep the winning combintations coming.

so this is the slot machine for the big March Madness slots tournament at the Vegas Tech casinos (English Harbour, Superslots, Caribbean Gold).

The Magic Monkey machine is a 25 Payline Video Slot.  And yes, 25 Paylines is a LOT.

You can wager as little as a Penny per payline, so this is another example of a Penny slot machine that you can find on the internet!  Of course you can wager more, up to $10 per payline if you have the bankroll and the inclination.

There are a couple of symbols on the Magic Monkey game that are more importnat than the others.  The first is the Banana Symbol, which is the key to unlocking a Free Spins cycle. 

It’s also a Scatter Symbol, so you don’t have to land the Bananas in a row.  They can appear anywhere on the reels of the slot machine, and still create a winning combination.  The Free Spins Cycle is unlocked by landing Three or More Banana Symbols, and lasts for 20 spins!

Plus - Free Spins can be retriggered by landing three or more Bananas during a Free Spin Cycle.  It’s the kind of good fortune that can bring even more good fortune.  So, be on the lookout for those Bananas!

The other symbol worth mentioning is the Magic Monkey Symbol.  His symbol is a WILD symbol, and helps complete winning combintations on the different paylines. 

March Madness Tournament Update - as far as the big tournament is going, the person in the lead took their $50 in starting credits and ran them up to a total of $20,450 credits.  That looks like it will be good for $150,000 in REAL MONEY.  

And, there are still less than 2,800 players signed up, so everyone is making the money so far.  With only one week to go in the tournament, it looks like it will stay that way too!

March Madness Slot Tournament at Superslots

This year things are getting ramped up for the March Madness Slot Tournament at English Harbour and Superslots!  There is a guaranteed $300,000 on the line, with the winner getting a $150,000 check!  That, is a life-changing chunk of change

The tournament is taking place on the Magic Monkey slot machine.  I don’t have a review of it (pull out the wet noodles), but it’s a:

• 20 Payline
• 5 Reel Video Slot with a
• Free Spins Feature and a
• WILD symbol

the tournament takes place during the entire month of March, so there’s still time.  Players start with $50 in credits on the machine, and obviously try to run that total up as high as they can.   

There is a $10 entry fee to get into the tournament.  I’m not sure what the slot tournaments cost at land-based casinos, but keep reading . . .

THE PAYOUTS - go down as far as 9,500th place.  considering that there are less than 2,500 players that signed up for the March Madness slot tournament so far, I’d say your chances of making the money are pretty darn good.

the top 500 palyers make $100 or better, with the top 1,000 getting their money back ($10 in prize money at least).  the next 8,500 players get $5, or half your money back.  So, let’s just say it’s not my lucky day, I’m taking a $5 shot at a top prize of $150,000.  that’s cool.

and of course the casinos are also all about welcoming new players - so they have some welcome bonuses lined up for first time depositors.  check out their websites for full details.  I’m a member of English Harbour, but Superslots has the same tournament going, and has a really good welcome bonus in effect.

Well, Spring has sprung in my town.  I’ve already done a host of Saturday chores, and I’m not into college basketball, so I thought I’d reward myself with a little time at the slot machines.   I’m not in the mood for a drive to a casino - it’s not like I have THAT much time to kill!

So, I opened up English Harbour Casino on the computer and took a look at what’s going on there.  As always, they have a slot machine tournament going on.  In fact, there are two that are worth mentioning, even though I only played one so far and I didn’t do well.

Every week for March they have a FREE SLOT TOURNAMENT taking place.  that’s the one I jumped into right away.  this week, from the 15th to the 22nd, the tourney uses the “X Marks the Spot” slot game.  I’m a little spurprised that I didn’t already review that game.  Oh well, something for me to do next time I guess.

ANYWAY - you’ll find the tournaments, even the FREE ones where you can win cash if you’re lucky, under the REAL MONEY games at the casino.  that’s because if you win, you need to have a real money account for them to put the money into.  makes sense if you think about it.

TOP PRIZE - in this week’s free slots tournament is $500.  not life-changing, but what do you want for nothing?  I made a mistake and jumped right into the action without looking to see haw far down the payouts went. 

They’re paying the TOP 1,290 finishers.  Goofy me, I decide since I haven’t played in a slots tourney for so long, I’m going BIG or going home!  so i set the machine at a high coin denomination and hoped for a winner out of the gate.  I got some, but not enough to satisfy me.  and so I worked my credits down to nothing.

Perhaps I should have taken my time and tried to build up the credits little by little, being satisafied with a money finish.  oh well. 

Anyway, that’s how I did in my first free slots tournament since when, Christmas?  That’s not the big news at the casino though, the big news is that they’re running a big money guaranteed March Madness Tournament.  but, that’s for another post
