Team USA May Be Eliminated But American Interest in World Cup Bets Has Never Been Greater

World Cup Wagers at Intertops Sportsbook Could Win a Trip to the Super Bowl

World Cup wagers bet at Intertops SportsbookDespite the defeat of Team USA, American interest in World Cup soccer has never been higher. This week, four hotly contended quarterfinal matchups continue to feed America’s newfound lust for soccer action. Intertops Sportsbook has a wide range of betting options for the Netherlands vs Brazil, Uruguay vs Ghana, Argentina vs Germany and Paraguay vs Spain matches this weekend and a free contest will award one lucky person placing a World Cup bet a trip to the Super Bowl.

“We take wagers on all major league sports,” said an Intertops spokesperson, “But this is the most interest in soccer that we’ve ever seen from our American customers who tend to think of ‘Super Bowl’ when they think football.”

Combining the new thrill of the World Cup with an all-American favorite, Intertops is giving customers that make wagers on the World Cup a chance to win a trip to the Super Bowl in February. Every dollar wagered on World Cup at Intertops Sportsbook earns one ticket in a draw for a luxury trip to Super Bowl XLV in Texas. The prize includes hotel accommodation and 2 top tickets to see the game at Cowboys Stadium.

Odds for all semifinal matches will be posted at Intertops.com/Sportsbook after the Paraguay vs Spain game on Saturday. Betting propositions, including team to qualify, half-time score, winning margin and first/second half total goals, will be posted and updated daily.

For the first time in World Cup history four teams from South America have reached the quarterfinal stage. The Intertops bookmakers see Brazil as favorites to win the final (+225), followed by European champion Spain (+250) and Diego Maradona’s Argentina (+400).

14 years after taking the first online sports bet ever, Intertops is still one of the most popular and trusted online sportsbooks around the world and has been famous for specializing in US major league sports from day one.

To celebrate the biggest worldwide sporting event in 2010, Intertops Sportsbook is giving players not one but two special 20% deposit bonuses – each worth up to $50 in free money – on deposits made before the end of the World Cup.

Daily Slots Tournaments Have Begun at US-Friendly JackpotCapital.com

Meet the Staff contest continues through June with extra points and bonus offers available to the online casino’s Facebook Friends

us-friendly slots tournamentsSlots tournaments are a great way to win big risking very little but until now they’ve been scarce. However, US-friendly JackpotCapital.com, already famous for having the best games and biggest progressive jackpots available to American players, is now hosting daily slot machine tournaments. Players can enter for as little as $1.10 and win cash from jackpot pools that can be several hundred dollars or, as they were for the inaugural free roll tournaments last week, up to $1000.

“Many of our players had been asking for tournaments so we knew they’d be popular,” said casino manager Oliver Smith. “But we were amazed at how quickly our first free rolls last week reached more than 500 players! We’ll definitely be doing more of those.”

Since all that can be lost is the entry fee, slots tournaments are a great way to enjoy playing slots while risking only a few dollars. Almost daily, there’s a tournament being played on the Crystal Waters slot machine with an entry fee of only $6.60. If 100 players register, the prize pool will be $600. That will be split between the top ten players with the winner receiving over $200. There will also be several tournaments this weekend where the buy-in is $11 so the prize pools could be much higher.

Tournaments appear on the schedule four hours before they begin and registrations begin two hours before the tournament commences. Players can check the tournament schedule and register to play in upcoming tournaments by clicking on the “Tournaments” button in the casino lobby. The Tournaments window includes a leaderboard where they can check their current standings and a personal tournament schedule listing all tournaments in which a player has registered.

JackpotCapital’s “Meet the Staff” contest continues until the end of June. Earning points by depositing and playing as they normally would, players are introduced to the staff beginning with the Customer Service and VIP Player teams and progressing, ultimately, to the Casino Manager’s office. Everyone that makes it to the boss’ office by the end of the month will be entered into a draw for a cash bonus. Jackpot Capital’s Facebook Friends will find related quizzes and contests giving them even more opportunities to get to know Jackpot Capital and earn additional bonus offers on the casino’s Facebook Fan Page. Further information is available at the interactive office where players can also monitor their progress in the game: http://promotions.jackpotcapital.com/meet_jackpotcapital

JackpotCapital.com is home to the biggest progressive jackpots available online to US players. At over $1.6 million, the Jackpot Pinatas jackpot is the largest jackpot available, but two other jackpots have also reached seven-figures. 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.

Film Student Wins Over $200K Progressive Jackpot at WinADay

Unique casino's second biggest jackpot ever won playing Jack's Show video poker

online casino progressive jackpot video pokerRegular players at WinADay.com know that when the progressive jackpot gets as close to $200,000 as it was last week it can’t be long before it’s hit. And sure enough, it was! A film student won more than enough to pay off his student loans when he won $200,859 playing the site’s popular video poker game, Jack’s Show.

“I was just killing time taking my mind off my studies for a bit when suddenly, out of the blue, I hit the big one!” said the player known as LUCKYTOM. “I’ll probably blow some of this win on some party celebrations but I’m going to invest most of it in a film project I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.”

This is the second highest win ever at WinADay.com, the largest being the $223,420 jackpot won by a retired widower playing the Reel De Luxe slot machine in March. Before these last two wins, the WinADay jackpot was usually hit every six weeks for $100,000 to $150,000. If these last two jackpots are any indication, bigger jackpots hit more frequently could become the norm.

“We’ve added several new games recently so the casino has been even busier than usual,” said online casino manager Michael Hilary. “Many of our regular players knew we were a bit overdue for a big win so more of them have been placing max bets and going for the jackpot lately. Every time they do, part of their wager goes into the jackpot pool so recently it had been accumulating ever faster than usual.”

After adding a new game every month for the last few months the unique online casino now has 15 one-of-a-kind games: nine slot machines, four video poker games and Roulette 5 which combines slots fun with the thrills of Roulette. All games are instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.

“We have our own team of games developers that create all of our games, only for us,” said Hilary. “You won’t see our games – or anything quite like them – anywhere but WinADay.com.”

The Jack’s Show is one of the games that WinADay first launched with. Animated jesters frolic across the screen dealing cards and perform special antics for winning hands. The object of the game is to obtain the best poker hand possible. Players can wager from $1 to $25 per hand.

This month WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Slot-O-Matic. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

Everyone that makes it to the boss’ office by the end of the month will be entered into a draw for a cash bonus.

“We take every opportunity to get to know our players,” said Casino Manager Oliver Smith. “Our Customer Service and VIP Player staff are in constant contact with them, and we also interact with many of them on Facebook. Since we know them so well, we thought we’d give them a chance to get to know the people behind the scenes at the casino they love so much.”

By participating in the Meet the Staff contest, players will get to know personally the team that makes sure they get paid promptly, the team that comes up with the US-friendly casino’s unique promotions, and even the IT people who make sure every click works like it should.

Players accumulate points while playing their favorite games. The accumulation of points will take the player on a virtual tour through the Jackpot Capital office, moving them from station to station, department to department, employee to employee until they reach the office of the Casino Manager. Players who make it to Station 9, The Casino Manager, will be automatically entered into the month-end Top Players Draw for a valuable bonus prize.

New 'Tropical Treat' is WinADay's Latest and Most Exotic One-of-a-Kind Slot Machine

Progressive jackpot tied to all slots games now nearly $200,000

WinADay.com has just launched its most exotic new online slot machine ever. The new Tropical Treat is a 50-payline slot machine with free spins and amazing fun-in-the-sun video graphics. Like all games at WinADay.com, it’s one-of-a-kind and only available at the whimsical online casino which is operated by Slotland.com, one of the oldest and most popular slots and video poker sites in the world.

Adorned with images of sun, surf and tropical flora and fauna, players click an animated starfish to spin the reels. Colourful animated butterflies flutter across the screen as they choose the amount to be wagered (from $.01 to $4 per payline). Buttons on a sand castle are used to choose the number of paylines to be played. The new game has a Wild symbol that substitutes for any other symbol and a Double Wild symbol that doubles the pay out.

Three Free Spin symbols extend game play with ten free spins. The Free Spin symbol also multiplies wins by up to 5x. They are Scatter symbols and do not have to be on one payline to trigger the bonus spins.

Like all slots at WinADay, the new Tropical Treat is tied to the site’s progressive jackpot. Five Compass or Globe symbols on a payline, with a minimum $5 bet, wins the jackpot which is currently nearly $200,000.

The progressive jackpot at WinADay is won, on average, every five or six weeks but since it hasn’t been hit since the end of March when a player won $224,420 playing the Reel De Luxe it has reached a near record breaking level. The next jackpot win will be one of, if not THE biggest ever.

This month WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Slot-O-Matic. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

The game developers at WinADay have been busy this spring launching a new game every month.  In March it was the new Leprechaun Luck slot, a 5-reel, 31-payline game featuring Wild and Double Wild symbols and bonus games. Just last month it was Slot 21, a slot machine based on Blackjack.  The unique casino site now has -15 whimsical games:  ten unique slot machines, four video poker games and Roulette 5 which combines slots fun with the thrills of Roulette. They’re all instant play, no download games that are available only at WinADay.com.

Intertops’ $100,000 World Cup Bracket Fuels US Football Frenzy

World Cup Wagers Could Win Super Bowl Trip

In the days leading up to the US team’s opener against England this weekend, America has never been more excited about the World Cup. To fuel that fire, Intertops Sportsbook is offering a chance to win $100,000 by correctly predicting the winners of all 64 matches, or a trip to the Super Bowl just for placing a World Cup Wager.

While Americans may be rooting for their team, Intertops’ bookmakers favor Spain (+350), Brazil (+450) and England (+600) to take the World Cup home from South Africa.

“I think we have a tough group,” said U.S. National Team Head Coach Bob Bradley. “Of course, so much attention has been put on the first match against England. The spotlight on that game is huge. We look forward to just going match by match and understanding what it takes to advance.”

Picking 64 winners may be a challenge, but entering Intertops’ World Cup Bracket is easy and doesn’t cost a cent. Registered Intertops players can just go to www.intertops.com/worldcup2010 to click on their selections.

Entering to win a trip to next year’s Super Bowl is even easier. Every dollar wagered at Intertops Sportsbook on World Cup matchups earns one ticket in their draw for a luxury trip to Super Bowl XLV in Texas. The prize includes luxury hotel accommodation and 2 top tickets to see the game at Cowboys Stadium.

Odds for every World Cup match, from the South Africa vs Mexico game that begins the tournament to the final game, are posted at Intertops.com. Intertops, which was the very first to take online wagers and continues to be one of the most popular and trusted betting sites in the world, is also taking bets on who’ll make it to the Quarter Final, Semi Final and Final, on the Total Group Score, on the stage of elimination of each team and much, much more. Spain’s David Villa (+800), Argentina’s Lionel Messi (+900) and England’s Wayne Rooney (+900) are favorites to take Top Goal Scorer right now, but Intertops will update those and all other odds on a daily basis.

All World Cup odds quoted are as of today and are subject to change.
