Today is finally Friday. I say that for a number of reasons, but mostly because the mind-numbing monotony of my job makes me want to drink Drano. Even if you don’t hate your job, though, the coming of the weekend signifies a lot of good things. You get to rest, usually. It also means weekend tournaments are found at many online casinos, such as Millionaire Casino.

At Millionaire, the Weekender tournament runs at the end of every week, including this week. From Friday, April 8 to Sunday, April 10, players can take part in a tournament with a prize pool made up of the pot. Entry to the tournament will cost you $5.

The Weekender tournament is played on a different online slot each time. This week, it is played on Shaaark! This is a game with a shark attack theme. That sounds gruesome and horrible, but it is actually a cartoon and has a humorous angle. Shark attacks may not be funny to people who have a big chunk of their flesh removed by a large aquatic carnivore, but in this game, a shark attack is kind of amusing. Think of it as Jaws meets Jabberjaw.

The Great Egg Hunt tournament is ongoing as well. That tournament began on April 1 and doesn’t end until April 30. The Easter-themed tournament has a $10 buy-in and a $50,000 prize pool. The game is played on the Funky Chicken slot, I suppose because chickens lay eggs and they couldn’t come up with an egg about the Easter Bunny or a Cadbury Bunny. To take part in either of the tournaments, visit Millionaire Casino sometime before they end.

Today is the last day to take part in the February Kickoff tournament at Online Vegas. The tournament ends at 10:00 tonight, but there is still time to play if you are interested. The tournament has a $6.99 entry fee and a prize pool of $10,000 in guaranteed casino credits. The tournament is played on the Beat the Bank slot, which is an online slot with a bank robbery theme.

Once that ends, though, there is a new slot tournament for the weekend. It is the Weekend Madness tournament and it begins at 10:30 PM tonight, ending at 11:30 PM on Monday, February 7. This weekend tournament has a $10 entry fee, which earns you a stake of 325 coins. If you run out of coins and want to keep playing, you can re-buy for the same amount. The slot tournament has a guaranteed $30,000 prize pool.

The game of choice for the Weekend Madness tournament is California Gold. The theme of the game is the California Gold Rush, which started around 1848 and lasted almost ten years. The game features gold prospectors, travelers to California, bandits and more.

There are also a number of smaller, inexpensive slot tournaments if that is what you would prefer. Each night, the online casino offers the Quickies tournaments, which last only 2.5 hours. They run from 9:00 PM until 11:30 PM. The tournaments have an entry fee of only $1.99 and a prize pool of $500.

Saturday and Sunday, the casino also runs the 99 Cent $2,500 Bonus Buck Weekend tournament. It runs from Saturday, February 5 at 9:00 AM to Sunday, February 6 and 10:00 PM. The entry fee is only $0.99.

To play in any of these slot tournaments, visit Online Vegas Casino.

I already know what I’m doing this weekend: watching football. On Saturday there’s great college football games all day and then on Sunday there is the first full week of NFL games. I guess I can go out and do something else tonight after work, but I don’t know what. If you’re not as big of a football fan as I am, then you might want to play some slot tournaments this weekend. If so, Online Vegas has some good options for you.

The big weekend slot tournament is the $30,000 Guaranteed Weekend Madness tournament. The tournament begins today, September 10, at 10:00 PM and runs until 10:45 PM on Tuesday, September 14. The Weekend Madness tournament is played on the Bigfoot slot and has a $10 entry fee. That buy-in earns you 325 chips to play with and if you run out, you can re-buy for the same amount. The tournament has a $30,000 prize pool.

While that tournament is a great deal for some people, others will be scared off by the $10 entry fee. Though it’s not an exceptionally large fee, it’s not cheap, either. The good news is that Online Vegas has a good variety of different priced tournaments. That includes a freeroll that runs this weekend. In the $2,500 Bonus Buck Weekend Freerool, players compete on the Cash Caboose slot for a share of $2,500 in bonus bucks. It is a free slot tournament, but once you run out of credits you can re-buy for $1.99.

For a cheap slot tournament where you play for casino credits rather than bonus bucks, I would recommend the Frugal Friday tournament. The tournament began at 9:00 this morning and runs until 7:45 tonight. The game is played on the Dr. Love slot and has an entry fee of only $1.99. Players compete for a prize pool of $1,500.

If you enjoy the game of online blackjack but miss the interaction of having your cards dealt by a real person, I suggest trying the live dealer blackjack games at Casino Tropez. This is especially true if you prefer to have your cards dealt by a beautiful woman.

This weekend, the online casino is holding a blackjack tournament on their live dealer games. Players who log in and play the live dealer blackjack games will accumulate points and at the end of the promotion, those with the most points will share prize money. The live dealer blackjack tournament has an $8,000 prize pool.

The online blackjack tournament runs through Sunday, August 1. Players earn points for all money wagered on the live dealer blackjack games during that time and the tournament follows a leader board format. Prizes will be awarded to the top 73 players in the tournament (I know, kind of a strange number to pick). On Sunday, players will split the prizes. The top player will come away with $1,000 and the players who finish second through seventh place will win $500 each. Players who finish eighth to 21^st will win $100 each. Finally, the 22^nd through 73^rd place players will win $50 each.

For more information, visit Casino Tropez, where additional details can be found. Casino Tropez is a popular PlayTech casino and, in addition to the live dealer blackjack games, has a good variety of online slots, regular blackjack games, and other table games.

Whenever the weekend comes, I ask myself a few things. Are there any good casino tournaments? That girl hasn’t returned your call yet; should you call her again? Did I write down the wrong number at the bar? What is that smell? Is my co-worker eating Ramen noodles again?

Only the first question should be of interest to you, my loyal readers, so that is the one I will discuss here. Millionaire Casino has a few good casino tournaments going on this weekend, and playing at those tournaments and earning prizes should be a lot more fun than getting a fake number from the hot blonde who said she liked you!

For fans of online blackjack, there is the Weekend Blackjack Classic tournament. This blackjack tournament takes starts today, Friday, and runs through Sunday, July 25. It is played on the U.S. Blackjack game. There is a $10 entry fee for the event and players will compete for a $5,000 prize pool.

Video poker fans can take part in the Weekend Deuces Wild Face-Off, which also runs Friday through Sunday. The tournament takes place on the Deuces Wild game. There is a $5 buy-in and players compete for a share of the pot.

The Wheel Deal tournament is a good bet for online roulette fans. The roulette tournament started yesterday, July 22, and runs through July 29. The tournament is played on the American Roulette game. There is a $2 entry fee for the casino tournament and players compete for a share of the pot.

If you want a shorter tournament, one that lasts only one day, there are daily Play for the Pot slot tournaments at Millionaire Casino. The tournaments begin at 12:01 AM one day and end 24 hours later. In each of the slot tournaments, players pay a $3 entry fee and compete for a share of the pot. Right now, there is the tournament played on the Rocking Robin slot. After that, the slot tournaments are played on Eastern Dragon (July 24), Cash Caboose (July 25) and Tiki Lounge (July 26).

If you’re more in the mood for winning prizes at a casino tournament then having your self-esteem take another hit by getting turned down at the local bar, you should check out the tournaments at Millionaire Casino.
