March Madness Online Slots Tournament Preview

(PRWEB) February 27, 2009 -- Online Gambling Insider, a well known news service that keeps online gambling fans up to date with the latest events and promotions, previews two of the biggest online slots tournaments in history. "Slots fans in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and pretty much all over the world are in for a treat this coming March," said Ryan D, founding editor at Online Gambling Insider. "Slots tournaments grew in popularity during 2008, and a couple of events with impressive prize pools were concluded at the end of the year. Most of these took place at Microgaming casinos."

The larger online slots tournaments all have pretty much the same structure with the main draw card being a zero entry fee and a massive first prize, often as high as $100,000. Two online casino operators using the Vegas Technology casino software platform have announced new Mega-tournaments to take place during March.

The first tournament kicks off on March 1 and is being run at the online casinos operated by the English Harbour Group (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-english-harbour-new-ventures-group.html), one of the oldest operators in the industry. The March Madness $250,000 Slots Tournament (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-golden-casino-march-mania-slots-tournament-kicks-off-soon--02-24-09.html) offers players the chance to qualify for free until February 28, after which an entry fee of $10 will apply. The tournament runs from March 1st, with the grand final taking place on April 1st and the winner taking home an amazing $100,000. Thousands of players have already signed up, and the tournament will pay the first 5625 places.

The English Harbour tournament is available at five of the online casinos operated by this group, including Super Slots Casino (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-super-slots-casino.html). This gives players the opportunity of trying their luck at more than one casino. Online Gambling Insider has also just negotiated a free $10 chip for all players who sign up at English Harbour Casino via the portal. The bonus is credited automatically to the player account after 48 hours.

The second tournament will kick off on March 3rd and will be conducted at Golden Casino (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-golden-casino.html), and their sister casino, Onlinevegas.com (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-onlinevegas-casino.html). These casinos have been running numerous big tournaments of late, including the $75,000 Valentines tournament, where the winner walked away with over $30,000. The March Mania $200,000 Guaranteed Freeroll (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-english-harbour-march-madness-slots-tournament-02-24-09.html) runs between March 3rd and March 20th. Entry is free with unlimited $20 re-buys. The winner also scores $100,000 and the second placed player gets $30,000. The first 400 players all receive a prize.

"Both these tournaments are easy to enter. Once players have downloaded their choice of casino they will find easy to follow instructions via the casino lobby," says Ryan.
