One of the things about this time of year, good or bad, is that you don’t have much time winding down from a holiday before getting ready for a new one. I’m fairly certain I still have a little turkey and stuffing in my system from that humongous Thanksgiving feast and now it’s time to start Christmas shopping. To be honest, I still have Halloween candy on the counter at home. Yes, it’s true.

Online Vegas casino is not one to mourn the loss of a Holiday, though. Later this week the online casino goes into full-blown Christmas mode with a new tournament. And the tournament itself should be more exciting than the video of the Muppets performing “Bohemian Rhapsody” (if you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and search for it on YouTube).

Running from Friday, December 4 to Christmas Day (which would be December 25, but I hope you already knew that) is the $200K Countdown to Christmas Freeroll Slot Tournament. Some of you may be thinking, “Wait, it says it’s a freeroll, but it’s a $200,000 tournament. Surely they’re using a different definition of freeroll.” Nope. There is only one definition of freeroll that I know of, and that’s the one used here: There is no entry fee for the tournament. So yes, you can potentially win $200,000 without risking any of your own money. Merry Christmas.

Players can enter the tournament for free and are given a balance of $80 to play with. If that money runs out, you can rebuy for $15.99, which replenishes the amount to $325. The tournament is being played on the ever-popular 5 Reel Wheel of Chance, an online slot based on the TV show Wheel of Fortune. Prizes are given out to 1,000 lucky winners, so everyone can feel like they have a decent chance of walking away with something. Prizes are awarded in amounts ranging from $55,000 to the first-place winner to $20 for 1000^th place.

Who said you can’t get money for nothing? This is the kind of deal that the Dire Straits could enjoy. To enter the tournament, visit Online Vegas casino today.

This is the time of year that people like to give things away, whether it’s bonus checks, presents, candy, or whatever. It’s a time when people like to stop and consider the things in their life for which they are grateful. As for me, I’m grateful for having a job, living in a country that for now at least is free, my paternity test coming back negative, and the abundance of loyal OnlineCasinos.org readers who come by every week to see what I have to say and hang on every word.

All Slots Casino is ending November with a big leader board promotion. The promotion, called the Head of the Table Playoff, began on November 22 and runs until the end of the month. Players at the top of the leader board at the end will win prizes.

The promotion covers virtually every casino game, so you can play poker, blackjack, slots or whatever else suits your fancy. Some games, such as roulette and baccarat, are not part of the promotion. See the website for details. To be eligible in the competition, players need to deposit and wager at least 50 credits during the competition.

Points are awarded for a variety of achievements. Players earn 1 point for every 50 credits wagered, for every 50 credits won during each day, and for every 50 credits lost each day. At the end of the tournament, the top players on the leader board will split a prize pool of 10,000 credits. The first-place finisher will win 1000 credits, the second-place finisher will earn 500 credits, the third-place player will receive 250 credits, the fourth-place finisher will win 125 credits, and the fifth-place finisher will walk away with 75 credits. Players who finish sixth through tenth will win 50 credits each. Those players who finish eleventh through fifteenth will earn 45 credits each. To round it out, players who finish sixteenth through 25^th will win 40 credits each, 26^th through 45^th places will win 35 credits each, 46^th through 65^th place will win 30 credits each, and players who finish in 66^th through 100^th place will win 25 credits each.

Considering the wide number of games available for this promotion and that there is no cost to enter, it is a no-risk tournament. The only money you pay is money you would wager to play the game anyway. And not only that, but you are rewarded for wagering that money. You get even more if you win. And if you lose, don’t feel too bad, because you’re given points for that.

November is traditionally a down time for online casinos. People are starting to save up money for Christmas shopping and aren’t spending as much money on the nonessentials. To attract customers, casinos are pulling out lots of different promotions and tournaments. Club USA Casino is offering a promotion that is almost unheard of. Or at least it’s new to me.

Club USA Casino is holding a weeklong slots tournament that pays out every day. Players who enter the slot tournament have a shot at the daily prizes. Each day, the casino gives out $900 in prizes to the top 10 players. The first-place finisher wins $300, the second-place player earns $200 and those who finish third through fifth win $50 each. Players have the opportunity to win every day.

I’m going to sound like a television infomercial here, but that’s not all. Players who make a deposit today, November 23, will receive a bonus of $150. To receive that bonus, make the deposit and then enter claim code “WECARE.”

There are other bonuses as well. Club USA Casino is also giving out match bonuses up to $1000 for players of slots, keno, blackjack and video poker. No matter your game, there is something to play at Club USA Casino and they are doing their best to keep the players happy customers.

You know those Apple fans out there who annoy you by always telling you that their product is superior to Microsoft’s? Who enjoy mice without buttons, desktop computers without towers, computers that don’t routinely crash, and prefer every electronic product they have to start with a lowercase “i?” Well, I’m one of those people, so I am excited to inform you that Casino Tropez has released an iPhone application that should please their fans.

Sometime this month Casino Tropez will launch their new mobile casino, called iTropez. Yeah, I like the sound of that, too. The application will have a wide variety of Casino Tropez’s games available to play on the iPhone without any downloading needed. Players can simply go to iTropez and start playing immediately, without having to download any programs to their phones.

iThink that’s a great idea and is sure to help Casino Tropez’s business, considering the popularity of the iPhone. iTropez will feature the games that have made the casino popular over the years, including blackjack, slots, poker and more. As a fully-integrated iPhone application, players will be able to register, make deposits and withdrawals and play the games from their iPhone without ever having to jump on their iMac or Macbook (why isn’t it called iMacbook?). iWant to play the mobile games as soon as I can and am excited about this possibility. iNeed to take a break from work every now and then to visit an online casino, and doing so on the iPhone makes it that much more convenient.

Golden Casino has been one of the leaders in online casino fun and innovation for the last 10 years, but their era is coming to an end. According to SlotsGeek.com, effective December 1, 2009 the casino will not be accepting any new customers from the United States. The online casino will continue to let existing members play on their site, regardless of where they are from, and will honor all winnings, so players who win tournaments will not have to worry about whether or not they will get paid. However, anyone from the US who wants to join the casino after December 1 will not be able to do so.

No reason was given for this change in policy, though there is speculation that it has something to do with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). The US government has lately taken to seizing funds from banks that are part of an online gambling transaction, despite the fact that there is no federal ban on online gambling and it is only illegal in 4 of the 50 states. Unless it is delayed by Congress, which is the desire by some senators and representatives in both parties, UIGEA will take full effect on December 1.

This change comes as Golden Casino comes under new ownership. Other Vegas Technology online casinos should remain unchanged in regards to their policies with American customers. Members in the House and Senate are attempting to have UIGEA repealed for the second time since its passing in 2006, and many are more optimistic the second time around. Golden Casino shutting its doors to American customers shows that, if it is related to UIGEA at all, the casino is not quite so optimistic.

November is full of Thanksgiving tournaments, some of which are going on now and some will take place later in the month. There are some people, though, who either don’t celebrate Thanksgiving or want some more variety when it comes to their slot tournaments. VIP Slots has exactly what those players need.

There are different Slot-tery tournaments going on this month, each lasting one week. Each of the tournaments have a $3 entry fee and $3 rebuy. The winner of each tournament will ear 35% of the pot, the second-place finisher will win 20% of the pot and the third-place finisher will take home 10% of the pot.

The first Slot-tery tournament began on November 10 and lasts until November 17. It is played on the online slot game The Right Prize, which is based as closely on the game show The Price is Right as possible without getting sued for copyright infringement. The symbols show prizes often awarded on the show and there are several bonuses, such as one that triples your payout and one that gives out 10,000 coins.

From November 17 to November 24, VIP Slots will run the second Slot-tery tournament. It will be played on the online slot game Cleopatra’s Pyramid. The Egyption-themed game features everyone’s favorite promiscuous queen, made famous by Shakespeare, Elizabeth Taylor and that lady you call on the phone for a psychic reading (Editor’s note: Miss Cleo is not in any way related to Cleopatra and was not a real psychic). The game has symbols associated with Egypt, including the Sphinx, mummies and Cleopatra herself.

The final Slot-tery tournament is held from November 24 to December 1. It is played on an online slot called Cool Bananas. No, seriously, it is. It is a monkey-themed game and is likely to be a hit because, let’s face it, everybody loves monkeys. It is a cartoon game that features Mighty Monkey, a primate wearing a Hawaiian shirt. What’s there not to love?

For those who want to take a break from slot games with symbols of pilgrims, turkeys and stuffing, VIP Slots casino is a good place to go. The casino’s famous Slot-tery tournaments are sure to be popular and are a good way to spend your downtime during the month.

Thanksgiving is the time of year when we embrace gluttony by stuffing ourselves and passing out in the living room while watching football. If we pass out soon enough it spares us from watching the disgrace of a team that passes for the Detroit Lions. It’s also the time of year when we stop to remind ourselves of everything in life for which we are grateful.  One thing is for sure: If you win the Thanksgiving tournament run by Millionaire Casino, you will have one more thing for which to be grateful.

It may seem too early to start a Thanksgiving tournament. After all, I still have Halloween candy getting stuck in my teeth. However, Millionaire Casino’s Thanksgiving Feast tournament is something you don’t want to miss. The online slot tournament started on November 1 and runs until December 1, so you have a month to earn as much as you can in hopes of winning some prizes. And the prizes, oh they’re good.

The Thanksgiving Feast tournament has a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000, which will be distributed among the top 275 players. The winner takes home $50,000, enough to satisfy everything on your Christmas list. The second-place finisher will earn $20,000 and the third-place finisher will win $7,500. After that, the prize distribution gets a little unique. The next two players will in $2500 each, five players will each earn $1000, ten players will each take home $500, 20 players will win $100 each, 60 players will each win $50, 50 players will each win $25, and 125 players will go home with $10, which is essentially refunding their entry fee.

The online slots tournament will be played on the game 5 Reel Wheel of Chance. There is a $10 entry fee and a $10 rebuy. Anyone who wins good money on this tournament has the advantage of being able to sleep in on Black Friday, one of the greatest rewards you can offer in late November. For a chance to add something new to your “things I’m thankful for” list, visit Millionaire Casino today.

Sometimes great things come in threes. There are the Stooges, the Musketeers, the Beatles (yes, that was an anti-Ringo joke), and Indiana Jones movies (yes, that was an anti-Kingdom of the Crystal Skull joke). New online slots also fit that category. Okay, honestly, four new slots would be good, too, but in this case there are three, so bear with me.

This month marks the release of three new online slots at All Slots Casino. The first game is called Kings of Cash. The game features kings from a deck of cards and has symbols of those cards, treasure, crowns, thrones and other symbols that represent royalty. Rejected royal symbols include Elvis, Michael Jackson, Burger King, B.B. King, the Royal Tenenbaums… well, you get the point. The online slot features a bonus feature where the player can win up to 1000 times the original bet.

For a game that Sarah Palin could love, there is also the Alaskan Fishing slot. The theme is quitting politics to write a book about being in politics. I’m kidding, of course. It’s an online slot themed after fishing in Alaska. The state is known for having some of the best fishing in the U.S. and the game tries to recreate that aspect. It has images of the Alaskan frontier, fish, fly fishing and more. The game has bonus awards between two and 15 times the original bet and is sure to be a fun way of vicariously enjoying the cold, bears and frostbite.

The third new slot is the Dance of the Masai game. It has an African theme, with the main subject being the Masai warriors of Kenya. So I guess this is a game that Barack Obama and his cousin, Raila Odinga, could love. The game has an exotic look, unless you live in Kenya, in which case you don’t understand why people keep calling the place exotic. Bonuses award the player with up to 8 times the original bet.

To play any of these three new online slots or any of the older games, visit All Slots Casino today.

I know that Halloween just ended, but that means it’s time to start looking ahead to Thanksgiving. There’s a house in my community that already has Christmas lights up, though. That’s just wrong. One holiday at a time, people.

Golden Casino will host a big freeroll tournament leading up to Thanksgiving. The tournament begins on November 13 and runs until Thanksgiving, which this year falls on November 26. It is a freeroll slots tournament, which means that there is no entry fee. In the tournament, you can play free slots for a chance at a $150,000 prize. With that kind of money, you can sleep in on Black Friday and still not have to worry about having money for all the Christmas presents you want to buy.

The online tournament is cleverly titled the $150,000 Guaranteed Countdown to Thanksgiving Freeroll and it will be played on the online slot game 5 Reel Wheel of Chance. The freeroll tournament has a rebuy of $19.99.

If you win the Thanksgiving Freeroll tournament and don’t know what to do with the money, don’t worry. I can help you figure that out. After all, I don’t see why you shouldn’t send a gift or two to an OnlineCasinos.org writer who informed you about the tournament. After all, if you weren’t informed, you couldn’t have won.
