US-Friendly Online Casino JackpotCapital.com Launches New Medieval-themed Coat of Arms Slot Machine with Multiple Bonus Games

Coats of arms are popular slot machine symbols and for fans of knights and castles, swords and chalices, JackpotCapital.com has just launched an entire game featuring mythical Medieval symbols.  To celebrate the launch of the new game Jackpot Capital is giving players free money to try it. To help ease the pain of taxes, there’s also a special mid-month Tax Day Bonus as well.

Coat of Arms is a 5 reel 25 pay line slot machine from RTG.  It’s a medieval-themed slot game where the Black Knight is Wild and doubles the prize when he appears in a winning combination. The White Knight is the Scatter symbol – two or more triggers a re-spin feature with the remaining reels spinning up to 15 times.

“Bonus games give players lots of extra playing time for their money,” said Jackpot Capital manager Oliver Smith.  “In this new game, you can win up to fifteen free games when a bonus Golden Shield appears on certain reels.”

There are two ways to get extra playing time in this game. There’s a Bonus Crown substitute symbol on reel 3 and accumulating 5 or more throughout the feature awards extra games.

There are two progressive jackpots in this game – a minor and a major– that can be triggered at random at the end of any game.

To claim their Coat of Arms Deposit Bonus – 100% up to $100 – players should enter this coupon code at the casino cashier: COATOFARMS.

April 15th is the deadline for filing income tax in the United States and to help overcome the blues that that can bring Jackpot Capital has some additional free bonus money.  On Tax Day players can enter the coupon code TAXBLUES when they deposit and get an extra 100% up to $150.

These special bonuses are in addition to the Monday Mystery Bonus (for players that deposit and play over the weekend) and Hump Wednesday Bonus (free money on Wednesday for players that play Monday and Tuesday) that are available this month as usual.

JackpotCapital.com is home to the biggest progressive jackpots available online to US players. At over $1.6 million, the Jackpot Pinatas jackpot is the largest jackpot available, but two other jackpots have also reached seven-figures. The Aztec’s Millions jackpot and the jackpot tied to both the Mid-Life Crisis and Shopping Spree slots are both well over $1 million.

Major Jackpot Hit on Striking 7s Video Poker Game at Slotland

Just a month after a $145K jackpot win, the Slotland.com progressive jackpot has already been hit again. Marianne M., a toy company project manager known as WYNDSTAR on the site, won $83,979 playing the Striking 7s video poker game last Friday.

“Of course the jackpot can be won anytime but we usually go six to eight weeks between wins,” said Slotland Manager Michael Hilary. “It didn’t have time to get up to $100K or $150K this time, like it usually does, but I’m sure the winner is happy just the same!”

Marianne M. has been playing at Slotland since March 2009. She said she keeps coming back to Slotland because she enjoys its one-of-a-kind games and finds that the wagering requirements on promotional bonuses are fair.

“That night, I actually logged on to Slotland to try the new game, Jewels of the Ancients. I’d just read in my Slotland newsletter that there was a promotion running with free bonus money available. I do like the new game, but after awhile I felt like playing cards instead of slots so I switched to my favourite video poker game, Striking 7s. I like its Double feature where I can take a chance at multiplying my win.”

She said she plans to save most of her win. She’ll invest part of it but also plans to take her boyfriend on a vacation to South America.

This is Slotland’s third big jackpot win this year. In January a new player won $104K playing the Booster slot machine followed by the $145K win on Lucky Ducts at the end of February. Last year there were six major jackpot wins ranging from $78K to $165K.

Striking 7s is a video poker game where 7s are Wild and a special bonus round can multiply winnings. Players receive five cards and can hold all five or receive up to five new cards to create the best poker hand possible. After every winning hand, players can take their winnings or take a chance at doubling them by drawing a card of higher value than the first card drawn. All slots games at Slotland.com are tied to one big progressive jackpot. In Striking 7s, it takes a Natural Royal Flush with a $10 bet to win the jackpot.

Launched just last month, the new Jewels of the Ancients slot machine is the twentieth unique game at Slotland which has been offering one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games for more than twelve years.

The progressive jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot was also won just recently and but is back up to over $75,000.

Slotland Launches Jewels of the Ancients, a Ghoulish New Online Slot Machine with Bonus Game

Vampires, bats and gargoyles provide the ominous theme for Slotland’s new Jewels of the Ancients slot machine. The ghoulish new 19 pay line slot machine has jewels, treasure maps, mystical goblets and even vampire-slaying garlic spinning on its five reels and has a Bonus Game for extra playing time and extra cash prizes up to $1000. Slotland, one of the first and still most popular online slots sites in the world, has a special bonus and a free contest to celebrate the launch of its twentieth one-of-a-kind game.

Until 10th April, all players that log on to Slotland.com will find an extra $12 deposited in their account just to try out the new Jewels of the Ancients game and every spin on the new game will earn one ticket in a free Vampire Draw. On April 13th one randomly selected player will win $500, another 2 players will receive $250 each, 7 will get $100 each and ten more lucky players will win $50 each. (Terms and conditions are posted on the site.)

Three Full Moon symbols trigger the bonus round on the new Jewels of the Ancients game. (The moon is a scatter symbol and pays out no matter where it is located.) In the bonus round, players turn over cards trying to reveal as many different Bonus Symbols as possible. Collecting all six golden symbols – a bat, fallen angel, gargoyle, ankh cross, Nosferatu the Vampire and Dracula -- wins $1000.

It helps to get as many special gold Bonus Symbols during the main game as possible since any that appear on the slots reels are automatically revealed at the start of the Bonus Game giving a head start and increasing chances of winning the bonus cash.

Like all of the slot machines at Slotland, Jewels of the Ancients is tied to the site’s progressive jackpot which is currently about $90,000. The jackpot can be won on any of Slotland’s slots games – on Jewels of the Ancients it takes five Diamonds with minimum $20 bet to win the jackpot

Slotland.com has been offering one-of-a-kind online slot machines and video poker games for more than twelve years. There are now 20 instant-play casino games to choose from – none of them found at any other online casino.

NCAA Basketball Bets at Intertops Sportsbook Qualify for Final Four Trip Contest Draw, Deposit Bonus and Cash Prizes

The climax of the college basketball season is upon us at last, but fans can still place their March Madness bets at Intertops Sportsbook and qualify for the world’s first online Sportsbook’s free Final Four Contest and $5000 March Madness Draw. Every dollar bet on the Final Four weekend is an entry in the draw for a trip to next year’s Final Four showdown, and those wagering at least $500 in total on the March Madness action are automatically entered in a draw for $5000 cash with no rollover requirements. Until April 4th, everyone wins with the Final Four Bonus that gives players an additional free 20% deposit bonus up to $100.

There’s also just a few days until Intertops’ $25,000 March Madness Bracket Contest is decided.

“We got more entries than ever into our Bracket Contest,” said an Intertops oddsmaker. “Quite a few people predicted the outcomes of the East and West region second round games, but then things got more difficult. The Southwest region was altogether tougher to call and the Final Four lineup is very much a surprise.”

“None of the number one and number two seeds made it to the Final Four, while the VCU Rams -- a number 11 seed in the Southwest region – have made it to the showpiece event this weekend. You see why they call it March ‘Madness’!”

Even if no one correctly predicts the outcome of all 63 March Madness tournament games, Intertops will split the $25,000 March Madness Bracket contest prize money between the 25 players with the highest number of correct picks.

Every dollar wagered on March Madness games at Intertops until April 4th is one entry in a free draw for a 2012 Final Four Weekend prize package. The package includes hotel accommodation, 2 top tickets to the Semi-Finals and Final Game and expenses for flights. Contest details and basketball bet offers are available at http://www.intertops.com/sportsbook

Intertops, which recently celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the day it took the very first online sports bet, welcomes players from around the world. It is known for quick, hassle-free deposits and withdrawals and excellence in customer service.
