Here’s a heartwarming tale of one lucky slots player hitting the big one at online casino Casino Tropez. Lucky Vicente A netted an incredible $379,958 on Lotto Madness, a 5 reel 20 line video slot that we recently described as “a versatile slot that offers the gamer the opportunity to makes as large or as small a bet as they want.” Well, Vicente, who is Spanish government worker soon discovered the point of placing bets on this slot! Speaking about his big win, Vicente said “I was so amazed with the sum of my winnings, I found myself jumping up and down on the spot! I would advise other online players to have patience when playing as luck is always just around the corner.”

Well, there’s an age old tip for all slots players in there; patience is a virtue!

That’s all folks.

As most of you will know, I love a good bit of slots gossip, and I just couldn’t resist pouring over some interesting findings regarding a casino in Philadelphia. which I am sure will interest you too. Harrah’s Chester Casino, in Philly has had a strange spurt of crimes in 2008, yes, there are the usual cases of theft and identity stealing, but these crimes are becoming a rarity due to some downright weird oddities. First off, Frank Scarcella aged 43, allegedly told a female customer that she was a “b–ch” and that she should “die”. Sounds like a case of vicious verbal battery right? Well, Frank is deaf and according to his mother “doesn’t talk”, so how he mustered up the college to spout out such obscenities is beyond us. Another interesting case is the tale of big time casino theft…Committed by one of Harrah’s own employees. Qiana Wright, aged 25, printed out several cash out slots machine vouchers and stole around $30,000. Wright was sentenced to just under 2 years in jail.

It just goes to show that casinos may be the safest places on earth with all of their CCTV, these eyes in the sky do pick up a lot of bizarre stuff. If only they thought about releasing it on DVD, I can see the title now “Eye in the sky: THE BEST BITS, Volume One”. Hmm.

Anyway, that’s all slots fans.

Greetings gamers,

I must apologise for not posting as much as I usually do, it’s just that I’ve been sucked into the Beijing Olympics (not literally, of course) and have been thinking up my own slots machines based around it… Taekwondo Terrors, Super Sailing Slot, Jumping Judo? Anyway, while I’m sure I’ll have these beautiful video slots creations ready by London 2012, it’s time for me to get back to doing what I do best, which is talking about slots of course!

Speaking of which, have you heard about the two brothers in Philadelphia, U.S.A who have been “nabbed” for having illegal slots in their pubs? Apparently, the two brothers, who are named Ira and Ned Katuran by the way, had six gambling machines that they tampered with in total, which hasn’t gone down well with the police, who have charged the brothers with running a corrupt organisation, dealing in unlawful proceeds and being in possession of illegal gambling devices.

While we all love a quick spin on the old fruit machine when we’re in a bar, call me biased but I just can’t help but think folks are better off playing some of the wonderful online slots now available online. I pride myself in providing you wonderful readers with the best in traditional slots, video slots, progressive slots and even themed slots…So if anyone knows any annoyed  slots players who used to play at the Katuran’s bars, then send them my way, I’m sure I’ll be able to find them a much better slot…And one that actually pays out winnings, as well!

Over and out,

Seb

A bit of interesting slots related news for you all now, in the form of Carlos Jose Gutierrez and his prank 911 calls. On Monday (4th of August, 2008) Mr. Guitierrez was playing at his local casino, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, in Tampa Bay when he proceeded to lose his money on a slots machine. Instead of doing what any normal person would do and leave the casino, perhaps a bit disheartened, but nonetheless okay about things, the gentleman decided to get the police involved. Carlos phoned 911 to report the slot, suggesting that it had stolen his money. Guiterrez was advised on the phone that calling 911 probably wasn’t the best thing to do and in other words, he should ’suck it up’ and go home. Well, old Carlos left the casino then went across the street…To phone 911 again! Gutierrez was later arrested for making prank calls.

There we have it slots fans, if you’re unhappy about losing your money on an online slot, don’t do what Gutierrez did and phone the police. Besides, with all those progressive jackpots available online, you’ve more chance of winning than losing!

Well, the Bejing Olympics will be upon us shortly and I for one can’t wait to watch those athletes do their stuff…However, I’ve never been one for high-octane athletics myself, so I’ve compiled a list of Olympic themed slots perfect for people like me who would rather sit back and work up a sweat hitting a few spins as opposed to all that running around and throwing things over bars.

First off, I’d like to inform you that Microgaming will be releasing a new online slot tomorrow (5/08/08) entitled “Stash of the Titans”, which combines the best in Greek mythology and film references (it’s based on the 1981 film Clash of the Titans don’tcha know). Look out for a review on Slotslogic.com shortly, but if you just can’t wait to get into the Olympic swing of things then I recommend Mark of Medusa, a slots machine we have officially deemed “quality”.

Hopefully that’s enough to keep you entertained these next few nail biting weeks!

Over and out slots fans.
