Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Although Halloween is still a month later, a reputed casino recently launched many Halloween themed slots, which go by the name Lucky Witch. This online casino slots game has some great bonuses and features guaranteeing handsome awards for the players. In this game, whenever three or more than three potions or scatter symbols come on the screen anywhere on the reels, the free spin feature starts. The Mystery Bonus, the title of the bonus game, gets triggered by a cauldron symbol, which shows up on 1, 3 and 5 reels. Once this bonus starts, other bonuses like the Witch’s Vault, Witch’s Spell Books, Potion Bonus, and Pumpkin Bonus follow.

The great part about this new launch is the fantastic audio-visual effects like magic crystals, eerie noises, and psychedelic graphics of eerie cats, pumpkins symbolizing Halloween, spell charts and so on. All these make the game more interactive and exciting. The game contains fifteen pay lines and five reels and the players can get a maximum payout of $120,000. You can win nearly $6000 through bonus games. This game is all set to begin working its charm from the month of October.

All Slots Casino Promotion

Egyptian mythology came face to face in a clash with Norse mythology at the Fight Club during a promotion by the All Slots Casino. Goddess Isis led the Egyptian mythology characters in the slots game with the same name. Thor headed the Norse mythology in a game bearing the name Thunderstruck II. This promotion was expected to last through the middle of the month of September. The promotion had two stages.

In the first stage, the players had to compete for acquiring the top sixty positions in every game in the leader board. Players did it through wagering maximum amounts in their favorite games during this promotional period. The highest ranked players in this leader board get bonus credits while the other fifty participants can each get twenty free spins.

In the second stage of this promotion, the one slot out of these two namely Isis and Thunderstruck II, whichever acquires the greater share of wagering, gets the bigger prize pool. The amount here is twice of the smaller pool and the largest bonus here is$400 while the smallest is $40. In the second and smaller prize pool, the largest bonus amount is $200 while the least is $20. All free spins have to be used within a week of them being awarded. What you win from these free spins are held as bonuses and gets credited to the player’s bonus account. This account also gets all cash prize amounts credited to it. These bonuses must be played at least 30 times, after which you can make a withdrawal. In case these are not played during this time, they are deemed invalid and removed. The gaming software provider Microgaming powers the All Slots Casino. Many of its most popular games have been included in this promotional offer.

“Survivor” Contestant Approved For Casino Game

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , , — OCE News @ 11:50 am

Although Rupert Boneham has been on “Survivor,” a reality television show, he has never managed to win on all three occasions. However, in what some have coined as a consolation prize, the Nevada Gaming Commission has approved of his casino game called “Rupert’s Island Draw.”

Unanimous Approval

The Nevada Gaming Commission was highly impressed by Boneham’s enthusiasm, which also helped him become popular on “Survivor.” In the television show contestants are able to vote others off the remote island on which the game is played.

Boneham, dressed in a brightly colored tie-dye t-shirt that he’s renowned for wearing, along with Richard Legenza, his consultant, showed the commissioners how the game worked.

However, the game wasn’t the only point the commissioners wanted to discuss, as reflected by Commissioner Randolph Townsend’s comment, “I see on your resume that you were born in January of 1964. I just wanted to tell you that that was around the time I first wore a shirt like the one you’re wearing.”

The Game Idea

Boneham has never managed to win “Survivor,” although he has now competed for a total of three times. He managed to spend 100 days in the wilderness. In 2003 for “Survivor: Pearl Island,” he finished eighth; in 2004 on “Survivor All-Stars,” he came fourth; and for “Heroes vs. Villains,” which aired last year he managed to finish in the sixth place. For the season that went out in 2004, he won $1 million, when he was voted by fans nationwide as the favorite player of the series. Boneham explained that it was while on the island as the program was being recorded that he came up with the idea for his casino game.

Game Leases

The game is currently being played at one Golden Nugget table only. Here, the game is played with a minimum wager of either $5 or $10 and a maximum of $300. However, Boneham now wants to try and negotiate more leases with different casinos, now that he has managed to obtain a license.

He has stated that if the game is successful, he wants to extract 20 percent of his gross profits and set up a satellite office in Las Vegas for Rupert’s Kids. Rupert’s Kids is a charity that was founded by Boneham in Indianapolis, his home city, to assist young children at high risk with vocational qualifications. After his presentation to the commissioners, Boneham explained that he was going to the bank to open an account for Rupert’s Kids.

The Rules

“Rupert’s Island Draw” has been described as a form of reverse blackjack that also combines elements from baccarat and poker. It is played using 16 24 card decks of aces up to sixes. The aim is to have cards in your hand that have a value less than the cards held by the dealer. Boneham wants to develop the game further; however, with the addition of side bets.
