Purple Lounge is giving away Ј1000 to the 3 players who place the highest number of bets. It doesn’t matter whether you are a high stakes blackjack player, or a penny slot fanatic, everyone has a chance of winning this prize, as it’s the amount of spins of the wheel or deal of the cards which will determine their winner, not how many credits you bet. First place will receive Ј500, second will get Ј300, and third takes Ј200.

Insects fly (at least most of them do), and so can you – when you play “Travel Bug,” the brand-new video slot available at the beautiful, re-designed Superior Casino.

Oh yeah – here come the bugs!

There are twelve different icons. And the Scatter Bug is one of the best of them all – three or more of them, when they appear on a spin, will trigger ten “Can’t Lose” free spins. We like that.

You’ll encounter a spider from the tropics (paying 500 units for five in a line) as well as a caterpillar (100 for five), a guitar player (which reminds me of the “bug music” I used to see on “The Flintstones”) and a plane (da plane, da plane!), the non-breathing member of this cast, which will return 65 units for five on a row on any of the 20 different paylines (all wins are multiplied by coins stacked per line – except for Scatters).

Thankfully, you don’t have to be a student of entomology to enjoy this game. Just log into Superior Casino‘s new user-friendly interface, go to the video slots, and away you go!

In a game like video poker, you are looking for the wild card, which you can turn into a lot of different winning combinations. In “Travel Bug” it’s the Wild Bug that is the key. He (or is it she?) replaces all icons except for the Scatter Bugs. Get five Wild Bugs in a row and you’ll be paid 5000 units.

If you can get three “Passport” icons, you can advance to the “Travel the World” bonus round, where the fun really begins!

No pest control is required, or desired – just be in the mood to have a superior time. Check out “Travel Bug” – the new video slot offering at Superior Casino.

Episode 3: Blinded By Love

To anyone who has ever played an I-Slot at Superior Casino, it is no secret that these games are engrossing, getting the player involved in a “game within a game” that consists of storylines, unique characters, and interactive animation, all revolving around slot play – that adds a whole new dimension to slot play.

“As The Reels Turn – Episode 3: Blinded By Love” is no exception.

At the beginning, we are introduced to the characters.

Ivan is a fish, which “reely” gets me thinking.

Matt G. is kind of sinister with that goatee of his.

Danny may be a good guy, but he looks a little sneaky with that bow tie (don’t they all?)

Jamie is a wide-eyed youngster, but somehow I think this atmosphere is going to change her outlook.

Vanessa, in grand soap opera tradition, is a vixen if I ever saw one.

Mrs. Livingstone, I presume, knows exactly what’s going on, though she may look like she’s a little bewildered.

Then there’s “The Don,” and I figure this guy must have all the answers.

Then we are whisked off to the “El Paradiso” casino – somewhere, we assume, in an exotic location – for Scene 1, “Maybe We Should Have Lunch?” I sense trouble already.

In an I-Slot game, you must score on a slot spin to advance to the next stage. Here, you must pull up three or more “Advance to Next Scene” icons to go to the next scene. These advances will also take you to a bonus round, where there is a chance to make some big gains. You simply go from scene to scene, delving into the intrigue, participating in the bonus challenges and making cash along the way.

Remember Ivan, the fish? He can feed you well; when you pull up three or more “Ivan” icons, it triggers ten free spins and gets you to Pampers.

Or didn’t we mention him?

“Pampers” is a rather tough-looking dog who shows up during the free-spin rounds, and offers a 3x multiplier. So, you see, though he looks like he can tear your head off, he is really your friend.

It’s the humans in this game you might not be able to trust.

Somewhere along the way boy meets girl, and someone probably isn’t going to like it. What’s going to happen? I’m not going to spoil it for you.

They may not be fighting over Ewing Oil, but the stakes, for you anyway, are much higher. And the payoff much better.

Get involved in your own soap opera, and make some cash from it, with “As The Reels Turn – Episode 3: Blinded By Love.”

Miami, FL (PRWEB) — They say you can’t put a price on the World Series of Poker* experience. One online poker site is taking that sentiment a little too literally by handing out a large number of Main Event seats for free. UltimateBet.com today announced a new promotion that solidifies the poker site as the best place to win a free seat in the series.

“This is an historic promotion for fans of the world’s greatest game,” stated UltimateBet spokesperson George MacLean. “We’re handing out loads of Main Event seats and online poker fans can win one just by doing what they love – playing poker.”

Annie Duke, UltimateBet’s new Cardroom Consultant, created the Ultimate Main Event Giveaway promotion so that more online poker players are able to experience Texas Hold’em on the world’s biggest stage alongside poker’s best pros.

To qualify for the promotion,UltimateBet players must simply play in any real-money poker Sit ‘n Go, ring game or multi-table tournament at UltimateBet.com between April 24th and May 23rd and climb their way up the Main Event Giveaway leader board.

At the end of the qualifying period, the player who has earned the most RAI$E status points will automatically secure a $12,000 Main Event prize package featuring the $10,000 buy-in and $2,000 for travel accommodations.

But that’s just the start of UltimateBet’s Main Event generosity. Players ranking 2nd through 70th on the leader board will play in an exclusive freeroll that features a prize pool of seven additional $12,000 Main Event packages.

In an effort to send as many players as possible to Las Vegas for the world’s most prestigious poker tournament, UltimateBet is opening the floodgates to even more Main Event seats through a series of freerolls. On Saturday May 24th, the online poker site is holding a 25-seat Guaranteed Tournament where at least 25 Main Event prize packages will be won. Players ranking 71st through 225th on the leader board will win their spot in the $500+30 tournament. Those ranking 226th through 3427th will be divided into five separate freerolls where hundreds of additional opportunities to win a spot in the 25-seat Guaranteed Tournament are on the line.

London, UK (PRWEB) — Slotland‘s new Tetris-like online slot machine is two games in one, both inspired by the popular game of falling-blocks considered by some to be the best video game ever. The wheels on Slotland’s new Slotris online slot machine spin the familiar multi-coloured cubes and the same squares fall into place on the grid of the adjacent bonus game puzzle — just like the video game that has mesmerized millions for decades.

There are two ways to win Slotland’s new game, Slotris. There’s a traditional three-wheel single payline slot line with spinning symbols -coloured blocks rather than cherries. When three matching symbols line up, the player wins.

But the coloured boxes don’t just spin on the slot machine wheels. Afterward, the same symbols fall into place in the grid beside the slot machine. Players can win this bonus game by guiding the blocks into place. Every solid-colour line multiplies the player’s bet and ten lines wins the jackpot.

“I’ve wasted a lot of hours playing Tetris over the years,” said a player trying the new game. “But there was never any money on it! A little wager makes it a lot more fun!”

Like all Slotland online slots and video poker games, Slotris is tied to the Slotland progressive jackpot – known for being frequently hit for amounts well over $100,000. Last month it was hit for almost $200,000 and a $116,332 jackpot was just won in December by TRILIGHT33.

The new Slotris game makes 10 unique slot machines and video poker games for this pioneering online entertainment site. Six of the most popular web games are also available on mobile phones.

“It’s a lot of work to keep developing completely new, unique games,” said Martin Smith of Slotland.com. “Our games are all original though. You won’t see them anywhere else.”

Slotland has earned the trust of players all over the world and takes pride in their reputation for excellent customer service and quick and easy withdrawals of winnings.

Turku, Finland (PRWEB) — Blackjack Ballroom Casino has made a very lucky player an incredible $5,556,753.68 richer.

Klaus E., from Finland became an instant millionaire last Friday when he placed a $0.50 bet on the Mega-Moolah Progressive Slot Machine and walked away $5.56 million richer. He couldn’t believe that he had won and says he was stunned and shocked and “my hands were shaking!” He hopes to pay off his apartment and go on a vacation as the first of many things he can do with his huge online casino win.

A CasinoRewards representative has said, “Klaus has just become part of an elite community of online casino players who have ‘hit it big’ and joined the exclusive CasinoRewards Millionaires’ Club. We congratulate him on his win and look forward to joining him in his celebrations.”

Blackjack Ballroom online casino is a proud partner of the long established CasinoRewards group, who has been in operation since September, 2000 and has a total of 18 popular online casinos under its loyalty program. CasinoRewards.com is part of the Microgaming community and this jackpot win has been the biggest for both established groups. Klaus has become the 4th Member of the CasinoRewards Millionaires’ Club, and brought the total progressives wins across the CasinoRewards Network to over $27 million.

Roger Raatgever, CEO, Microgaming, says, “Those that say thirteen is an unlucky number have only to take one look at Klaus E. who not only becomes the Microgaming Progressive Jackpot’s thirteenth millionaire, but by far and away the biggest jackpot winner we’ve ever had. Mega-Moolah has been tantalising players for months now and its finally delivered on a massive scale – with $5,556,753.68 being one of the largest payouts this industry has ever seen.”

Arrangements are currently being made to fly Klaus to Sydney, Australia where he will be presented with a check of his winnings and celebrate what is the biggest win in Blackjack Ballroom’s history. His win proves that when luck strikes, it hits hard and you don’t have to play big to win big.

With more than just online blackjack, Blackjack Ballroom features over 250 games including progressive jackpots, table games, slots and card games catering for every player.
