Online Penny Auction Site for Gamblers, Bidibot, Now Gives Rakeback

At Bidibot, players can already get hold of an array of online gambling credits and tournament buy-ins at their favourite online gaming sites for a fraction of their true cost and now even the losing bidders will get something in return. Now online penny auction site for gamblers, Bidibot.com, is giving even more incentive to bid after setting up a new Rakeback feature on their auctions.

The new feature will see the second place bidder, on auctions such as 888Poker and Betfair Sport packages, refunded a percentage of their bids placed.

Bidibot CEO John Tabatabai said, “We are always trying to give players extra value and rakeback seemed like a logical next step. There can only be one winner for each auction but bidders still stand to benefit even if they're unsuccessful. It's a win win situation.”

It's not just poker goodies that can be won for peanuts at Bidibot.com. The site also offers auctions for hi-tech gadgets such as iPads, iPhones and Nintendo Wii consoles.

The latest player to bag such a bargain was lucky bidder “TheHulk” who got an Xbox 360 at a knockdown price. “TheHulk’s” bidding rivals were green with envy after he picked up the gaming console for just $2.01, that's a saving of over 99% on the RRP of $270.

The next gadget auction is scheduled for Saturday 30th October when one lucky bidder will take home a Nintendo Wii for a bargain price.

In the meantime there are a host of poker and sports betting related auctions from the likes of Betfair, 888.com, PokerStars, Victory Poker and GCasino with packages worth up to hundreds often going for just a few dollars.

New Witch’s Brew Slot Machine is a Halloween Treat from Slotland.com

Halloween celebrations include up to 45% deposit bonuses and a free draw for $500

Slotland has been saving its latest new one-of-a-kind slot machine until this weekend. Conjuring images of evil fairy tale witches, the new Witch’s Brew is a magical treat for Halloween. To celebrate the launch of the new game there are up to 45% Halloween Deposit Bonuses all weekend and a chance in a random draw for $500 just by spinning the Witch’s Brew reels!

“The fairy tale witch theme of this game, with its cauldrons and black cats, make it a perfect Halloween slot machine!” said Michael Hilary of Slotland. “Like all of our new games, it has incredible full-screen graphics and amazing sound effects. We create all of our own games so you won’t find Witch’s Brew anywhere but Slotland.”



Witch's Brew is an uncomplicated single pay line slot machine where players watch the Witch's magic boil right in front of them. Players can bet as little as $0.50 or as much as $4.00 to see what the Witch has in store. During the game pots of jam fill up and boil over. Hidden witches activate Wild symbols according to the flavour of the overflowing jam. Boiling jam pots can activate more than one Wild symbol, increasing players’ chances of spinning a winning combination even more.

All Slotland players that log on this weekend, whether they’ve just signed up or been playing at the popular slots and video site since it began 12 years ago, will find a free $10 waiting in their account just to try the new Witch’s Brew.

All weekend Slotland is giving an extra 20% Halloween Deposit Bonus on every deposit. On Sunday, combined with the Sunday Bonus Brunch, players can get up to 45% extra on deposits. Every spin on the Witch’s Brew between now and November 11 is one free entry in the Witch’s Brew Draw for $500.

Like all of Slotland’s slots games, Witch’s Brew is tied to the Slotland progressive jackpot. Every time a player plays max bet on any of these games, some of the wager goes into the progressive jackpot pool. In this game, spinning three Wild Pumpkins wins the progressive jackpot.

Slotland.com, which has just cleared up from its twelfth birthday celebrations, now has 19 one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games. Many of the instant-play games have recently been upgraded with enhanced graphics and sound effects. Six of the most popular games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs.

After AYAMAMOTO of Japan won $89,384 on the new Lucky Ducts slot machine just last week, the jackpot at Slotland is currently just over $53,000 and climbing. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot is nearly $150,000 and seriously tempting fate.

For US Players, Slotastic’s $1.6 Million ‘Jackpot Piñatas’ Jackpot is the Biggest Progressive Available Anywhere

Other frequently- hit slots jackpots overdue for a big win.

For U.S. players looking for the biggest online progressive jackpot games available, Slotastic.com reports that its Jackpot Piñatas slot machine jackpot is now over $1.6 million dollars, making it the richest slots jackpot open to American online casino players. While million dollar jackpots aren’t cracked very often, other smaller jackpots at the online casino designed especially for slots players frequently make large payouts.

Jackpot Piñatas is a 5-reel 20-payline slot machine with festive Mexican images. In addition to the main seven-figure jackpot, there is also a generous secondary jackpot. The main jackpot pays out when five Bull Piñata symbols line up on any one line with a minimum $.25 bet on all 20 pay lines. Three or more Dog Piñata symbols trigger the Bonus Round with prizes up to 200x the original bet and lead to up to 25 free spins afterwards.

Considered a "loose jackpot", the Let 'Em Ride jackpot has paid out fourteen times since it was launched and seldom goes more than three weeks without a $50,000+ win. Three games contribute to it -- Caribbean Stud, Caribbean Draw and Caribbean Hold ‘Em – so that jackpot also gets hit quite frequently for similar amounts. Since it is hit on average every three to four weeks, and it has now been more than a month, many players feel these games are overdue for a hit which explains its recent popularity.

Jackpot Piñatas is the current Slot-of-the-Month at Slotastic, so until the end of October players can receive a deposit bonus of up to $100 for this game. The required coupon code for this bonus is POMPARTY.

“Smaller wins along the way keep slots players’ adrenaline flowing,” said Oliver Smith, manager of Slotastic.com. “But everyone dreams of winning the big one. We would love to make a million dollar payout. The money is just sitting in a special fund waiting for the lucky winner! But let me tell you, it’s also pretty exciting writing a $50,000 check!”

When asked what they would do if they won the 1.6 million dollar Jackpot Piñatas progressive jackpot, Slotastic players were practical and generous, but said they’d indulge themselves as well.

“I have two grandchildren in college so I’d help them out. And I suppose I’d pay off my mortgage and some other bills,” said one player. “Honestly though, I really don’t know what I’d do with that much money – but I’d love to find out!”

“I think a luxurious holiday for my whole family would be in order for starters,” said another player. “Considering the theme of the game, I think a few weeks in Mexico would be ideal!”

“My daughter’s really been having a tough time of it since her husband was laid off work,” said another player. “I’d love to be able to help them out more, so I’d take care of them first I guess. I just love playing slots though so I think it’d be alright to treat myself to a little trip to Las Vegas too if I struck it rich like that!”

Known for its massive jackpots, Slotastic.com is also famous for its daily slots tournaments and special “added money” tournaments like the upcoming Halloween Slots Tournament where they add $1000 to the prize pool. Tournament contestants can register and play anytime between now and midnight, October 31st. Current top scores are listed on the live leader board and the player at the top of the list at midnight on Halloween night wins the tournament.

Slotastic.com is a full-featured online casino with games and promotions designed especially for online slots enthusiasts. It is the home of the largest online progressive jackpots available to American players and the best online slots tournaments.

$1,000 Added toPrize Pool for Slotastic's Halloween Slots Tournament

Online casino designed for slot players is the best place for slot tournament action & bonuses

Slotastic.com is adding $1,000 to the prize pool for its Halloween Slots Tournament proving once again that the online casino designed especially for slot players is the best place for them to enjoy big-win, low-risk tournament action. You can play the $1,000 Added Halloween Slots Tournament on the pirate-themed Goldbeard slot machine.

“We have dozens of great slots to choose from, and we considered other games for this Halloween tournament, like Haunted Opera and Warlock’s Spell,” said Oliver Smith, Casino Manager at Slotastic.com. “But since Johnnie Depp and Pirates of the Caribbean have made pirates such a popular Halloween costume this year, arrrghhh, we thought Goldbeard would be appropriate, matey!”

Tournament contestants can register and play any time between now and midnight, October 31st. They will each start with $10,000 credits and have ten minutes of playing time to accumulate as many points as they can. Players who feel they can earn a higher score can enter the tournament again and play as many times as they want in their quest for top score. Current top scores are listed on the live leader board and the player at the top of the list at midnight on Halloween night wins the tournament.

The player’s registration fee is added to the slots tournament prize pool, so the more players, the bigger the prizes. The entry fee for this tournament is only $1, but since Slotastic! is adding an additional $1000 to the prize pool all of the top-scoring players will win a nice prize.

“It feels great to win even $10 when all you’ve risked is a $1 entry fee,” said Smith. “But it feels even better to win when we’ve topped up the prize pool like this!”

In addition to this special tournament, Slotastic hosts several tournaments each and every day. The daily tournament schedule is listed on the site, where new tournaments are listed every day, usually about two days in advance of the tournament playing period. Entry fees are usually only $1, $2, $5 or $10, but if enough players register, top-scorers can win hundreds. Tournaments are played on a variety of the casino’s most popular slot machines like Triple Twister, Loose Caboose and Crystal Waters.

Slotastic! players can receive up to $1,100 in deposit bonuses every month by playing the Progressive of the Month (which is Jackpot Piñatas this month) or the Slot of the Week (this week, Mr. Money).

Slotastic.com is a full-featured US-friendly online casino with games and promotions designed especially for online slots enthusiasts. It is the home of the largest online progressive jackpots available to American players. The “Jackpot Piñatas” jackpot, now over $1,600,000, is the largest. The “Aztec’s Millions” jackpot and the jackpot tied to both the “Mid-Life Crisis” and “Shopping Spree” slots are all well over $1 million and could make some lucky Slotastic! player an instant millionaire any moment now.

WinADay’s New 'Win a Fortune' Game Combines Slots with Popular American Game Show Wheels

Bonus Round Doubles Winnings and Fortune Wheel Gives Extra Wilds with up to 5x Multipliers

WinADayCasino.com has launched a new online slot machine that brings the thrills of America’s favourite television game show to an exciting new one-of-a-kind slot machine. The new Win A Fortune has a nail-biting double-or-nothing Double Bonus Round and a Fortune Wheel that gives additional Wild symbols with up to 5x multipliers. As it does every time a new game is launched, the unique online casino is giving players extra bonuses to take the new game for a spin.

Everyone that logs on to WinADayCasino.com during Win A Fortune launch week (October 16 – 22) will automatically get $10 added to their account just to try the new game. Everyone that plays at least 10 rounds is automatically entered in a free draw for another $2500 in bonuses with one lucky Win A Fortune player winning $1000. The 20 players that wager the most on Win a Fortune next week will split another $2500 in prizes with the Best Better receiving $500. Contest and bonus details are available by clicking Promotions on the site.


Win A Fortune is a 5 reel 15 pay line slot machine that’s really three games in one: the classic slot machine game, the Double Bonus game and the Fortune Wheel. A Double symbol on the rightmost reel triggers the Double Bonus Game where players can double the last spin’s winnings, and continue doubling them until they reach the top level of the flashing jackpot ladder.

Inspired by the popular American television game show, the Fortune Wheel above the slot machine reels has two wheels. It is triggered when the Fortune Wheel symbol appears on the fifth reel of the slots game below. The outer wheel determines which symbol will be wild in the main game and the win from the last round on the slot machine is re-calculated using the new Wild symbol as soon as the Fortune Wheel stops turning. The Inner Wheel gives the multiplier up to 5x.

Whenever one or more Chest symbols appear anywhere on the pay lines, a Treasure Chest opens to reveal additional symbols that when combined with the reel symbols can create winning combinations.

5 diamonds on one pay line with at minimum $5 bet wins the WinADay progressive jackpot that’s currently over $125,000.

After adding the mystical Jackpot Jinni slot machine only last month, Win A Fortune now makes 19 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker, multi-hand keno and roulette games at the unique instant-play online casino.

Everyone looks forward to their next paycheck and lucky Slotastic! players get an extra one every month.

Irish Poker Awards Online Voting for Best Irish Poker Players Begins

Irish Open Chapion Neil Channing to Host Awards Ceremony

The public can now cast their votes for Ireland’s top poker players at www.theirishpokerawards.com. Nominees have been chosen by a panel of in industry experts, including representatives from BoylePoker.com, Bluff Europe Magazine, PokerNews.com, pokerireand.ie and d4events.com, and now it’s down to the public to decide who collects the awards at a glittering ceremony in Dublin on 17th October.

Categories include Best Cash Player, Best Tournament Player, Poker personality of the Year and, of course, the all-important Player the Year. Organisers remind us that there are only two weeks before the awards, so we need to get voting.

The Irish Poker Awards will be held at the Regency Hotel in conjunction with BoylePoker’s International Poker Open.

“This is a great opportunity to honour the wealth of talent in Irish poker today, from the legends of the game who have been around for years to the young internet geniuses who are busy redefining the way the game is played,” said Bluff Europe’s Michael Caselli, who will be co-hosting the awards with former Irish Open Champion Neil Channing.

Event details and online ballot are available at www.theirishpokerawards.com.
