Go Casino is considered one of the best online casinos for slots players, in part due to their large number of slot tournaments. In all, there are 110 different tournament events offered by the casino during the month of July alone. That gives players plenty of opportunities to enjoy the fun of tournament play and take a shot at prizes.

Each weekend, the online casino offers a $30,000 Guaranteed Weekend Madness slot tournament. This weekend is no exception. From Friday, July 16 to Tuesday, July 20, Go Casino is running the Weekend Madness tournament on the California Gold slot game. The entry fee for this tournament is a little high for some – $10 – but considering that there is a guaranteed $30,000 up for grabs, the price isn’t bad at all.

For players who aren’t comfortable with an entry fee that high, there is also the $2,500 Bonus Buck Weekend Freeroll. As the name indicates, there is no buy-in for this tournament. Players can enter for free and compete for $2,500 in prize money. This weekend’s freeroll slot tournament is played on the 20,000 Leagues slot game and runs from Saturday, July 17 to Sunday, July 18.

For players willing to pay a small entry fee for a weekend slot tournament, Go Casino offers a couple choices this weekend. There is the Frugal Friday tournament, which runs today from 9:00 AM until 7:45 PM. It is played on the Reel Deal slot game and has an entry fee of $1.99. In the tournament, players compete for a $1,500 guaranteed prize pool.

Another good option is the Beat the Bank slot tournament, which runs from Sunday, July 18 to Monday, July 19. This tournament is played on the Beat the Bank slot game and has an entry fee of $2.50. Players in this slot tournament compete for a percentage of the pot.

Whatever type of tournament you’re looking for, chances are Go Casino is offering it this month. They have tournaments with big prizes and small prizes, large entry fees, small entry fees and no entry fees. They have long tournaments and short ones.

Welcome bonuses can be found at virtually every online casino. If there are any online casinos that don’t offer bonuses to new members, they probably won’t stay in business long. For example, VIP Slots Casino offers a 100% match bonus of up to $777 for new customers.

What sets casinos apart is the bonuses they offer to existing customers. Every week VIP Slots offers an array of bonuses to their customers, giving players ample opportunities to wager with the house’s money.

Weekly deposit bonuses are one of the perks offered by VIP Slots Casino. Keep in mind that all bonuses come with wagering requirements. See the promotions page for more details.

Every Tuesday, VIP Slots offers a 75% deposit bonus to players on their first deposit of the day. Though all of the match bonuses are 75%, the maximum amount varies depending on your membership status. Amber and Bronze members have a $100 limit. Members with Silver and Gold status have a $250 limit. Platinum and Diamond status members can receive up to $500 in the bonus.

Every Thursday, VIP Slots offers a 50% match bonus on the first deposit of the day. Again, the upper limit for the bonus varies depending on membership status. Amber and Bronze members have a limit of $100. Players with Silver and Gold status have a maximum bonus amount of $250. Platinum and Diamond members have a $500 limit on their bonus.

Saturday is the biggest of the weekly bonuses. Every Saturday, VIP Slots offers a 100% bonus on the first deposit of the day for each member. Again, the bonus limit differs depending on membership status. The Amber and Bronze members have a limit of $100. Silver and Gold members can get bonuses of up to $250. For Platinum and Diamond members, the maximum amount is $500.

To take advantage of the deposit match bonuses, visit VIP Slots Casino.

I’m pretty sure every online casino has welcome bonuses for new customers. It’s the easiest way to entire someone to join and make sure their first experience playing at the casino is a positive one. The good casinos – such as Casino Tropez – also have plenty of bonuses for existing customers. After all, if you stop caring about people once you have them as a customer, you might lose them (phone companies should take note).

Casino Tropez has match bonuses for new customers, but they also offer similar bonuses for people who are already members of the site. Every Sunday, the casino will give you a 100% match bonus of up to $100 on the first deposit of the day. If you do that every Sunday, you can get an extra $2,700 free from the online casino.

Another good promotion at Casino Tropez is the High Roller Welcome Bonus. If you have been gambling with the casino for a while and want to bet larger amounts, this promotion rewards you for becoming a high roller. On your first deposit of $1,000 or more, the casino will automatically give you a $500 bonus. You could also be automatically awarded VIP membership.

For the lower rollers, there are still plenty of options out there for extra money. Casino Tropez is giving out a 15% bonus for people who use alternative payment options for their deposit. In other words, if you use something other than credit cards, you can get some free money to bet with. There are also frequent bonuses awarded for playing certain games or participating in a certain tournament.

To take advantage of the bonus deals, visit Casino Tropez.

Recently, the Nevada Gaming Control Board told casinos within the state not to get involved in the online gambling market. The regulatory authority of the state of Nevada warned casinos – especially those in Las Vegas – to not get involved in online gambling until it is legalized and regulated by the federal government or the state of Nevada.

Harrah’s Entertainment had already signed a deal with 888.com to open an online version of their casino. The casino is based overseas and does not allow American customers. By Harrah’s understanding, that makes them exempt from control by the feds or the NGCB. The NGCB, however, promised to look into the matter.

Now Harrah’s has stepped up their game. In an effort to push online gambling legislation through, the casino has spent more than $1 million already this year on lobbying. Now they are upping the ante, adding lobby group the Capitol Counsel to their current lobbyists the Podesta Group and Brownstein Hyatt.

If online gambling becomes legal in Nevada, Harrah’s is in a unique position to take advantage and immediately become the leader in the market. Harrah’s biggest claim to fame at this point is hosting the annual World Series of Poker. A tie-in with their online casino would surely be a big money-maker.

While some Vegas casinos oppose online gambling and others only want to be a part if there is a repeal of the federal UIGEA, Harrah’s is more than happy to establish the market if it is legalized in either Nevada or the entire country. In the meantime, they are happily serving overseas customers.

Online Vegas Casino is one of those casinos that always seems to have a good promotion going on, whether it’s a good slot tournament, a good welcome bonus, or whatever. This time I’m writing about the latter (by that, I mean welcome bonus, not “whatever”).

Right now Online Vegas Casino is offering over $5,000 free to new members as a welcome bonus. Those big bucks are spread out over the new player’s first 10 deposits. Players can receive a 100% match bonus on their first deposit, with a maximum of $500 awarded. On the second deposit, players can get a 125% match bonus, with a high of $300. On the third deposit, players can get a 150% match bonus of up to $500.

After that, the percentages drop a good deal but the maximum amount is higher. On deposits four through nine, players can receive a 25% match bonus of up to $1,000. Then on the tenth deposit, Online Vegas offers a 200% match bonus of up to $1,000. Each bonus requires you to enter the appropriate claim code. See the promotions page of Online Vegas Casino for those codes.

The giveaways don’t end there, though. Online Vegas also lets new members join four slot tournaments for free, giving you a chance to win tournament prizes without having to pay the entry fee. The player can join any 4 slot tournaments of their choice and must enter the appropriate coupon codes. Again, those can be found on the promotions page.

To take advantage of the deposit bonuses and the free slot tournament entry, join Online Vegas today.

If you like a bunch of morons poking each other in the eyes, slapping each other in the face and throwing pies in each other’s faces, then I have the game for you!

The game is the Three Stooges slot and you can play it at Rushmore Casino. The slot is based on the 1930’s characters of the same name and features photo imagery of all of the stooges. There are symbols of Moe, Larry and Curly along with Moe’s hat, film reel, stack of money (?), cream pie and more.

Three Stooges is a 5-reel, 25-payline video slot. It is a nickel slot, with the ability to wager up to 25 coins. The online slot features animations of the characters engaging in the type of slaptstick humor from which they are known. You have stooges slipping, getting hit with things, screaming and more.

The slot has several bonuses, such as the Moe Money feature, where you win up to 25 free spins, the Curly Cash feature, where you win up to 30 free spins, and the Larry’s Loot feature, where you win up to 1,000 times your original bet.

If you’re a fan of the Three Stooges, this online slot is sure to be nostalgic and provide hours of excitement. If you found them annoying, you might want to avoid this game. If you don’t know who they are, this is a good opportunity to experience the weird and stupid things that people watched back then.

To play the Three Stooges slot, visit Rushmore Casino today.

You’ll be happy to know that I resisted the strong urge to frequently quote Hamlet in this article. For me, that usually happens whenever I discuss Denmark. Anyway, Denmark’s parliament will need a re-do for its online gambling legislation. Oops.

On June 4, Denmark passed gambling legislation that allows online gambling within the nation and also allows foreign companies to compete in the market, complying with EU free-trade rules. However, the land-based casinos within Denmark have complained that the new law is unfair in that it favors online gambling over their businesses.

Under the new law, online gambling in Denmark would be taxed at a 20% rate. However, land-based casino pay between 45% and 75% in taxes. Gunnar Sorenson, the director of the Danish Gaming Association, says that if the two industries are not taxed at the same rate, “the Danish government is effectively supporting the online gambling companies.”

As a result of the dispute, the gambling laws will now be resubmitted to the European Commission. This isn’t the first time Denmark has had problems with their gambling laws. Previously the European Commission shot down part of a Danish law that allowed ISP blocking of online gambling sites. This was done to protect the state-run gambling provider, Danske Spil.

When it comes to tournaments at online casinos, there are a ton of slot tournaments and poker tournaments. On occasion, you’ll find blackjack tournaments. Video poker tournaments, on the other hand, aren’t found very often. Online Vegas Casino is one of the few casinos that holds them and they are doing that right now. For that reason, I think Online Vegas is one of the best online casinos for fans of video poker.

Online Vegas is holding four video poker tournaments during each week. The tournaments last 24 hours and take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Each video poker tournament has a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool. The tournaments have an entry fee of $1.99 and players can rebuy for the same amount. It should be noted that the prizes are awarded in loyalty points rather than casino credits.

The video poker tournaments are played on the popular game Deuces Wild. Online Vegas has two different Deuces Wild games, with one as a single-hand game and other using 2-4 hands. The Deuces Wild tournament alternates between the two variations.

For players who aren’t into video poker, Online Vegas has lots of other action, including a current online blackjack tournament that you can enter for just a $0.99 buy-in.

To enter the video poker tournament and take a shot at the prize pool, visit Online Vegas today.

There are currently no online casinos operating within the borders of the United States. Some lawmakers, lobbyists and players want to see that change. There is also opposition among other lawmakers, lobbyists, and other interest groups. Most Las Vegas casinos are fighting against online gambling being brought to the U.S., fearing that they would lose business to the online casinos.

Not everyone on the Vegas Strip feels that way, though. Harrah’s recently began a partnership with 888, a British online casino. 888 provides software for Harrah’s online casinos that are based in England and do not accept American customers. If online gambling comes to the U.S., Harrah’s is poised to become a major player in the industry right away.

With all of the bitter fighting between both sides of the issue, I found myself wondering about the position of the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The NGCB is the government regulatory body that oversees all of the gambling operations in Vegas, Reno and everything else in the state. They are a very powerful and influential government agency.

While the NGCB has not come out with an opinion on online gambling, one of the board members now has. Sort of. His position is that he doesn’t have a position.

Randall Sayre, a Nevada Gaming Control Board member, said that he isn’t opposed to online gambling, but he wouldn’t push for it, either. He told UK gambling publication GamblingCompliance “I’ve got nothing against Internet gambling. I have no dog in the fight with regards to whether it’s good or bad.”

While that’s not a ringing endorsement of bringing the online casino industry to the U.S., it’s good that he isn’t against it, because, believe me, if the NGCB was against it, the chances of online casinos ever coming to the States would be drastically reduced.

Sayre also said that if online casinos are to be brought to the U.S., the NGCB would be the most logical place to start in terms of regulating the industry. He said that they are “well positioned” to take on the extra responsibility should the change be called for.

Many believe that electronic checks, or e-checks, will become the primary deposit method for online casinos, especially those that deal with American customers. Since the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006, many financial institutions are weary of getting in trouble with the feds for being used for the transfer of funds from “illegal” online gambling. Their worry hinges in large part on the fact that UIGEA does not either make any gambling illegal or clearly define what types of online gambling are illegal. Since the law is so murky, there is the potential for abuse.

For that reason, Visa and Mastercard have both started blocking all transactions between American customers and online casinos, sports books or any other online gambling sites. Other credit card companies may follow suit and even if they don’t, Visa and Mastercard make up the vast majority of the market (with Discover and American Express a ways behind).

There are, of course, other options for making electronic payments. There are a ton of e-wallet sites out there, but some people don’t like using them and for some, they are difficult or tiresome to use. For that reason, many prefer to use electronic checks. To pay by e-check, players only need to enter their checking account number, routing number and social security number (to confirm their identity) on the website. E-checks are even often used to transfer funds on e-wallet websites, so in those cases a casino that allows e-check payment would be cutting out the middle man.

There are not currently a lot of online casinos that offer payment via e-check, though Lucky Red Casino and Aladdin’s Gold are two that do. In the near future, experts believe that a majority of online casinos that serve American customers will have e-check payment as an option in order to avoid losing business. Some sites even offer incentives, such as bonuses, for paying via e-check, since it is cheaper for the casino than a credit card payment.
