Slots Adventures

i’ve been in the holiday spirit as of late, so the blogging has been a bit spotty.  i did notice, however, that the Slotland Jackpot went off somewhere over the $115,000 mark.  i had planned on taking a couple of spins on it tonight if it didn’t already get hit.

but, it did. so i took a couple of spins on the Tunzamunni insteaddidn’t hit anything of note.  didn’t run out of money, just no jackpots to speak of for the session.

then i thought i’d better check up on the big mega-bucks freeroll tourneys at english harbour.  they’ve started the headliner of the month, the $10,000 freeroll on the Reel Deal Slot Machine.

this tournament is free to enter, and runs from now until the end of the month.  this is definitely the biggie in terms of prize monies going out.  english harbour had been running a series of these freerolls all month, and each of those lasted a week and had $5,000 prize pools. 

the tourney takes place on the Reel Deal video slot game, which (as you’ve probably guessed) is a slot built around the idea of the “Deal or No Deal” game.  that’s what the bonus feature is, a “choose a suitcase” or “pick’em” game.

the payouts for this event stretch pretty far down the line.  the top 587 or so finishers get some sort of reward for their efforts.   that’s a lot of winners.  of course all the really big money goes to the very top players, but i can live with that.

players are all given $500 in tournament credits to start with, and then you can spin away until time runs out, you think you have enough credits, or you run out.  if you run out, you can rebuy (like in a poker tournament).  a rebuy costs $5, and gives you another $500 in credits to work with.

the money from the rebuys is throw right into the prize pool, so the actual payouts are constantly growing.

i haven’t registered yet, but i will.  this is one i don’t plan on missing.  i have all week next week to sit down and do some playing, so i’ll get to it then.
