Go Online Casino Thanksgiving TournamentBy: Mark Freedman, Tuesday November 10th 20092 Comments Email Print This is the Thanksgiving month and Go Casino is offering a bumper online slots tournament for players to be thankful for. Labeled as Countdown to Thanksgiving the tournament begins on November 13 and runs till November 26. The registration has opened and already over 16,500 participants have entered their names. The reason for the popularity of the event is obvious. It offers a guaranteed prize pool of $150,000. And there is no entry fee. Such opportunities are rare and players at Go Casino are seizing it with both hands. The prize pool runs deep. It will be shared by the top 500 players on the leader board. The first 20 players will share $75,000 in cash. The first place winner will get $40,000, the second place winner will get $12,000 and the third place winner will get $6,000. The player in the 20th position will get $300. The remaining players will share $75,000 in bonuses. 10 players in the 21st position will get a bonus of $290 each. 100 players in the 31st position will get a bonus of $30 each. The parameters of the tournament are available through the software client of Go Casino. Players begin with a tournament chip stack of $125. This is not a large stack and players would need to start cautiously. A minimum of 20 wagers has to be placed. The Countdown to Thanksgiving is a rebuy tournament. A player can rebuy any number of times without any limit. Each rebuy will cost $19.99 and will add $350 to the chip balance. Players have to make 20 additional wagers for each rebuy. The online slot game designated for this event is 5-reel Wheel of Chance. Wheel of Chance is a popular slot for online slot tournaments because it offers plenty of scoring opportunities. Five wild Diamond symbols in enabled paylines offer a fixed jackpot of 8,000 coins. At a maximum line bet of $10 this pays out $80,000. When the wild symbol substitutes to make up winning combinations it doubles payouts. Five scatter symbols anywhere on the reels offer a scatter payout of 500 coins. At a maximum total bet of $200 this pays out $100,000. During free spins all payouts including bonus wins are tripled. There is also a Wheel of Chance bonus round. Therefore one lucky break can catapult players several places up on the leader board. Even otherwise Wheel of Chance is a very interesting slot game. It is themed on the Wheel of Fortune type television shows that offer fantastic life changing prizes. These prizes are depicted as symbols on the reels and show some nifty animations. Go Casino is powered by software from Vegas Technology and is licensed by the Curacao Internet Gaming Association. News Item Tools Email Print Digg Del.icio.us StumbleUpon CommentsAdd Comment
