First, there’s a 25% cash back bonus running now through Sunday.  Now, this is a bonus for losers, so not a happy bonus, but what I think of as a recovery bonus. Now through Sunday, if you don’t make a profit playing at Club World casino they will give you 25% of your money back on Monday.  So, you can get a little bonus money back to try to win back that money you’ve lost. Unless you win. In which case, hey, you should already be happy.

So now through Monday, you’re covered by a cash back offer, but the what? That brings us to the bonuses I’ve been waiting for — the Hottest Club Bonus.  Yes, Club World Casino is the hottest place to play this weekend with a 75% bonus up to $1,000 if you want to play slots, keno or scratch cards. Now you’ll need to make a minimum deposit of $100 if you want to take advantage of this bonus. The code CLUB75 can be used three times between Monday, July 11^th through Wednesday, July 13^th.

Of course Club World says you can still use the usual bonus codes of SLOTS65 for a 65% bonus on slots, keno and scratch cards or OTHERGAMES55 for a 55% bonus on blackjack, video poker and other games. So, whatever your game, Club World casino has you covered. This weekend, they even have you covered if you lose.

The CREWPON is an fun bonus concept and I haven’t seen any other casino making this type of offer.  Each month, players who deposit at least $50 and use the code CREW200 get a 200% bonus offer on their deposit. Okay, so far fairly standard.  But what Silver Oak does is keep track of the number of players claiming that offer and then give all of them an extra bonus based on how many people jumped in to join the crew each month.  So at the start of the month, the CREWPON bonus might only be $25. And that doesn’t sound stupendous.  But that’s just where the bonus starts.  By the end of the month it can grow as high as $1000 if 1500 people claim their CREW200 bonus.  Right now we’re approaching the end of June and the bonus money sits at $300.  So if you claim the CREW200 bonus by tomorrow with at least a $50 deposit, you’ll get a 200% deposit bonus on your money plus a free $300 chip to play on.  Wahoo!

But if you’re already a player at Slots Jungle, you know you’re interested in the weekly bonuses.  This week there are two bonus offers out there, one for slots players and the other for table games, including blackjack and video poker.  Slot Players can deposit just $21 and get a deposit bonus of 193% back using the code FRUIT193. If you up that deposit to $100, you’ll get a 232% bonus using FRUIT232. Deposit $150 and use FRUIT245 for, yep, 254%. Or if you’re a big spender, deposit $350 for a 300% bonus using code FRUIT300.

Now those were for slots players. If you play other games, you’ll get a 112% bonus on your $21 or more deposit using RIPE112.  Bump that up to $100 and get 163% using RIPE163. Or deposit $250 or more and get 224% using RIPE224. Because life’s full of goodness when you play in the jungle.

Roxy Palace is holding  Mega Million Give-Away for 5,000,000 (that’s five million) loyalty points. Yes, loyalty points, not actual money. Of course the loyalty points can be used for other things that players of the site might want.  Now, to take part in the promotion, you’ll need to have an account at Roxy Palace. Because you have to play to take part. During the promotion period which is now through June 10^th your bets and your deposits will earn you loyalty points and put you on the leaderboard.  Well, only the top 500 loyalty point earners will show up on the leader board. So if you want to make your way up there, you better be prepared to play.

Now, Roxy Palace is giving away bonus points down to 125 places.  The player who finishes in first place will win a full million loyalty points from Roxy Palace. Second place will get half a million. Third place three hundred thousand and fourth place two hundred thousand.  Fifth through tenth place will each get one hundred thousand. After that it jumps down to thirty thousand for eleventh through fortieth place and continues until 101 through 125^th place finishers collect 8,000 loyalty points.

If you want to take part, you’ll need a Roxy Palace account which means you can’t be an US resident since Microgaming has withdrawn from the US. Other than that, happy playing!

Caribbean Gold is a Vegas Technology Casino and open to players from the United States. In addition to the freeroll slot tournaments, it offers a full range of slot tournaments at various buy in rates as well as black jack, video poker and roulette tournaments. If you aren’t a tournament player, don’t worry. They also offer a full range of slots, casino games, table games and specialty games.

And jumping over to promotions. The welcome bonus is 100% on your first four deposits up to $1,000 free as a total welcome bonus.  But after the welcome bonus, they have a variety of weekly bonuses that are almost as good, including a 100% deposit bonus on Saturdays, so don’t feel like you’ll miss out if you don’t deposit a full $1,000 in your first for deposits.  And they have the usual flash slide promotion calendar which I hate.  I recommend saying that you want to receive email on the bonuses when you sign up for your account. It’s easier than reading the slide show.

As for me, I have my account and am waiting to see how I do in this freeroll tournament.

Superslots is a member of the English Harbour group of casinos, though I am noticing that they run different games and different promotions, which can make it worth your time to have accounts at each.  They also offer download and instant play options, though you’ll need to download the software to take part in the tournaments.  That way they can track your tournament play.  Since the tournaments include slots, blackjack, video poker and roulette as well as the slot free rolls, it can be worthwhile to download and install the full software.

If you haven’t played at the Superslots online casino yet, they’ll give you a 100% deposit bonus up to $2,000 on your first four deposits. They’re also offering a Mother’s Day Coupon. Just make a minimum deposit of $20 up to a max of $250 and you can redeem it for a 100% match bonus. Just use the code MDMAY0811. I suspect there will be a Mother’s Day slot tournament coming up to, but they don’t seem to have completely updated their tournament calendar.  But with a freeroll slot tournament going on, they’ll be keeping my interest for a while, so just check back to see what they’re up to.

Now I’m back to spinning the reels.

This week’s featured game is the progressive slot game Win, Place or Show Progressive.  All you have to do is wager $50 or more on the slot game and you’ll win an entry ticket to the raffle for Summer Rafflepalooza.  These tickets will enter you into prize drawings that will be held weekly, monthly and then the final grand prize drawing.

Prizes for the Rafflepalooza drawing include over $300,000 in bonus cash, perfect for playing that favorite game, the hot new iPad 2s and round trip travel prizes. If you have an account with Go Casino, they’re mailing out information on the promotion.  If you don’t get an email, just log in to your Go Casino account to check out the details or contact customer support for details.  The customer support folks at Go Casino are there to help you with any casino questions you might have.

I’ll be writing more about Go Casino this month because they have some great tournaments and prizes coming up, including a Mother’s Day freeroll slots tournament. Keep an eye on the blog for more details.

Oh, and you can also win a entry into one of the biggest slot tournaments around – Grand Slam of Slots II. The GSOS II is giving over $2.43 in gold and over $290,000 in cash, so you could potentially change that $75 into a million dollars in prize money.  You can also win entries into Grand Slam of Slots II through freeroll slot tournaments at All Slot tournaments. See, more ways to win your way to a million.

When I logged in to my English Harbour online casino account today a little message popped up with a special offer and I’m going to pass the info along to you. Now this offer is a sign up bonus for new players to English Harbour or at least those who haven’t made a real money deposit into their account yet.  If you sign up and make a deposit between today and April 17^th, English Harbour will triple your deposit amount. All you have to do is use the coupon code 200W-0411 when you make your deposit. Their standard bonus terms apply, so you’ll want to read those and make sure you’re happy with them.  There’s always a play through requirement that means it will take a lot longer to earn your money back than if you just play on your own money.  Of course, you can also head over to the casino to play some free roll slot tournaments and not spend any money.  English Harbour does seem to offer something for every player. And they are a US friendly site.  Happy Playing.

You can’t hit the jackpot on a bonus game.  This is one drawback I’ve seen players cite when it comes to slot games. Especially if they’re playing a progressive slot game.  While you’re playing the bonus game, someone else can hit the jackpot.  Of course to offset that, the bonus game can help win you more money to keep chasing that jackpot.

Bonus games slot down your slot play. This is either a benefit or a drawback depending on your point of view. If you think that big progressive win is just a spin away or if you’re playing in a tournament where you benefit from playing faster, this might be a drawback. But for the average slot player, online or on the casino floor, slower play is a benefit.  Slot machines are designed to gobble your money. That is their sole purpose in life. Anything that slows that process down while still keeping the player at the slot game is a bonus.

Bonus games can give your bankroll a boost.  Now this is the element where the game developers really have to do their part.  Since the bonus game takes the player out of the main game for a time, the potential win has to be something the player feels gives enough of a boost to the bank roll to equate to more spins in general.  It has to be more than I think I could win on a good spin.  Most games offer a great experience and good win from the bonus games.  Games that don’t probably don’t get played as often.

They offer a great player experience. The best bonus games in a slot game do the one thing that a slot game itself doesn’t do.  They offer the player the illusion that they have some control over their winnings.  They make the slot game interactive.  This also helps keep the player involved. And involvement can keep a player interested longer and playing longer. Of course, that’s good for the casino.  You have to determine if it’s good for your bankroll.  Though I love playing on money the game gives me back.
