Slot Machines News

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
