The Roue de la Concorde Turned Into Giant Roulette Wheel by ChanceRoom.com

Free games with cash prizes introduce players to unique casino’s dedication to having fun

 


ChanceRoom.com has turned the giant Roue de Concorde into a monumental roulette wheel for a free game designed to prove that the France/UK-facing online casino site is serious about fun. Until 24 January only, the iconic ferris wheel on the Place des Concordes in Paris will spin like a roulette wheel and contestants will win cash prizes for guessing which number it will stop on.
The Places des Concorde is the largest public square in Paris and the giant Egyptian obelisk at its center serves as the roulette-wheel pointer on ChanceRoom’s Roue de Fortune. The game designers have created a quick and easy, visually entertaining online game using a very creative video-simulation. Anyone can play the free game and participate in this unique experience by going to www.LaRouletteDeLaConcorde.com

This special event is being coordinated by the same French PR firm that helped ChanceRoom help save Parisians from le grippe (the flu) by handing out free face masks on the streets of Paris this winter.

“By now I think people are getting the idea that we are not like any other online casino,” said ChanceRoom manager, John Benjamin. “Our whole raison d’etre is fun. We wanted to use something in real life like the Roue de la Concorde for this event because we think real life can be fun!“

ChanceRoom.com is a unique igaming site with online casino, poker and sports betting all accessible with one account and with one wallet. Software provided by GTECH G2 gives players an amazing selection of games and connects them to Europe’s largest poker network. ChanceRoom.com launched French and English versions of the site last fall.

Slotland Pays Out Record-breaking $799,309 in Jackpots



2009 was a record year for jackpots and bonuses at Slotland.com, one of the world’s first and still most popular online slots sites.  A total of $799,309 was paid out in progressive jackpots last year and more than $68,500 was given to players as bonuses in year end draws. That's on top of nearly half a million dollars in deposit bonuses that were paid in 2009. With the current jackpot nearing $100,000, regulars at the casino are starting to feel that another big win could be just around the corner.

2009 saw a more than 10% increase in total jackpot payouts over 2008. Averaging $133,218 in 2009, individual jackpots were larger than the year before.  All games at Slotland are tied to the same jackpot and in 2009 the jackpots were won playing some of their most popular games: Heavy Metal, Mega Spin, Slotris, Jacks or Better and Treasure Box.

The largest jackpot in Slotland history, $200,111, was won in 2009 by a player known as FORGOMO playing the Heavy Metal slot machine. That beat the previous record set by TEXASTEASER who got lucky in 2008 playing the Treasure Box slot and won $195K.

Not everyone can win a jackpot but Slotland also paid out nearly half a million dollars in deposit bonuses to its players in 2009. 

As it has just done for 2009, Slotland will again do random year end draws for thousands more in bonus money in 2010. Each deposit is an entry (VIPs earn two entries per deposit).  The draw awards a top cash prize of $5000 and splits a further $13,250 between another 20 players. On top of that, $55,000 will again be awarded to the top 30 overall depositors.

Slotland.com currently features thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of the most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs.  Slotland will soon launch new instant Flash versions, with enhanced full-screen graphics and improved sound effects, of three games: Jacks or Better, Treasure Box and Golden8.

Delicious New 'Wok & Roll ' Slot Machine Has Recipe for Fun with Lots of Free Games and Two Jackpots on the Menu



$1.5 Million 'Jackpot Pinatas' is largest online casino jackpot available to US players

For players that dream of Chow Mein and Chop Suey as they spin the wheels, Slotastic! introduces the new Wok & Roll slot machine that serves up lots of chances for free games and has two jackpots on the menu to spice things up.  The new online slot machine is the Slot-of-the-Week this week at the US-friendly online casino which means players can get up to $100 free to play the delicious new game.

To make the fun last as long as possible, "Wok & Roll" and “Chef” symbols award up to 12 free games.  Wok & Roll also has two big prizes, a Minor and a Major Jackpot, that increase in value with every bet until they are won.  Neither has an upper limit. Players can try Wok & Roll for free or wager real money.  Although Slotastic! has a selection of instant-play slot machines, Wok & Roll is initially available in the download casino only, along with the full selection of more than 300 slot machines and table games.

With new slots releasing virtually every week since it launched, Slotastic.com players are never bored.  But what’s really got players talking is the massive jackpot pool that’s accumulated. The Jackpot Pinatas jackpot alone is worth more than $1.5 million and there are several other games with 7-figure jackpots that have been alluding players for months.

“It’s fun playing new games all the time, and we’ll keep those coming, for sure,” said Slotastic’s manager.  “But actually the most popular games in the casino right now are the four games with million dollar progressive jackpots: Jackpot Pinatas, Shopping Spree, Mid-life Crisis and Aztec’s Millions.”

Until the end of January, in addition to their Slot-of-the-Week bonus, Slotastic! players can also claim the $100 Progressive-of-the-Month bonus and get another $100 to try their luck at the $1.5 million Jackpot Pinatas jackpot.  Terms and conditions of all casino bonuses are posted in the ‘Promotions’ section of Slotastic.com.
