The Vegas-style casino site famous for free tournaments has added more free chances to win cash and prizes to its September line-up. The champion of the free Three Card Poker Tournament that starts on Monday will win an all-expense paid trip to Aces.com’s Hollywood Premiere Party for ‘Aces the Movie’. Four free Blackjack tournaments beginning Sunday offer cash prizes.

The grand prize for the week long Three Card Poker Tournament includes flights, hotel and two VIP passes to attend the exclusive gala party that Aces.com is throwing to celebrate the release of the sexy new poker movie they’ve sponsored. The star-studded event will be held at Vanguard Hollywood in Los Angeles on October 7th. (Second and third place players will receive cash prizes.)

Winners of the four free Blackjack Tournaments this month will each receive $200; second and third place players will receive $100 and $50 respectively.
There is no entry fee for these free tournaments. Winners are the three players with the highest chip count at the close of the tournament.

Aces.com free tournaments tend to attract primarily regulars of the retro Vegas-style casino site, but new players are always welcome to enjoy the camaraderie at an Aces table.

“Over the summer, we’ve had the stars of Aces the Movie as special guests at our tournaments,” says Rene Quesada, Manager of Aces.com. “The other night, one of our regulars was pretty sure he was going to win until Lacey got a bunch of good cards, made some smart bets and left him in second place. So I sent him a silk poker shirt just for being such a fun guy that night.”

Lacey Toups plays one of the three sexy college girls in the hot new poker movie that Aces.com is involved with this summer. Aces.com is distributing thousands of free copies of ACES the Movie to their players. Christina Morris and Sheena Chou are the other two members of the team dubbed “The Charlie’s Angels of Poker” when they partied with Aces.com at the WSOP last month. (Details on the actresses’ blog.

Pioneering Slots Site Known for Service Celebrates 8th Anniversary Online


When Slotland.com launched their first online slot machines in 1998, the Internet was new and online gaming was in its infancy. Eight years later, the pioneering site is still one of the most popular and trusted online casinos and is one of the first to venture into the new mobile gambling frontier.

Although technical advances over the years have made things like payment processing simpler and more secure, Slotland.com still offers the same simple, safe and friendly environment that players, especially older players, are comfortable with.

“Technology has changed a lot, but the way we approach our business has stayed the same,” says Hannah Morante of Slotland.com. “We keep it simple -- our games are easy to use, no downloading. And we treat our customers with the human touch.”

Over the years, Slotland.com has created nine unique slot machines – some that offer simple fun to newbies and some with more complex strategies for experienced slots aficionados.

“Some online casinos use more technologies and just think about how to make their business as cost-effective as possible but forget that their players are people – humans. We think communication with our members should be personal, not fulfilled by some external customer service that doesn’t care,” said Morante.

Slotland.com was voted “Most Unique Slot Site” and “Best Progressive Jackpot Site” by Strictly Slots Magazine readers and was named “Best Web TV” in a Gambling Online Magazine poll. They were recently selected as a finalist in the “Best Mobile Gambling Company” category of the ME (Mobile Entertainment) Awards to be given in London this month.

Asked why they’ve stuck with Slotland.com over the years, players mention Slotland’s warm customer service and quick payouts, and they love how long they can play with just a few dollars, but mostly they talk about fun:

“I love to watch the wheels go round almost as much as I like winning!” JAZZY60, USA

“Slotland’s games are definitely original and are by far the best and clearest to be played. Fast loading and easiest games to play with great payouts!! I love the bonus spin features on magic and golden 8!!!" FRANK35

“I have been around for 70 odd years now and have played in too many places.... Slotland's people have always gone the extra distance to accommodate.” GEORGIE1874

“I've been to Atlantic City and Harrah’s Casino in North Carolina and I lost my shirt – and didn’t have near as much fun as I have with SLOTLAND!" GNAT

”I appreciate the professionalism of your casino. Everything is first class. Then to top if off the games are so much fun to play!" NANA122

"I always win enough to keep me playing for a good while.” REELPLAYER

When Slotland went online mobile phones were relatively rare and certainly no one was thinking about using them to play slot machines. Difficult as it may be to predict the future in this fast-changing entertainment business, Martin Smith, Slotland’s Manager of Mobile Games, is excited about what’s to come.

“It’s a whole different generation of players that uses their mobile for entertainment. There’s millions of future slots players out there who’ve yet to make their first spin!”” said Smith. “And as the mobile platform adapts more standards we’ll be able to design more and more exciting mobile games.”

“One thing we know is that although slots players may have their favourites they also have an insatiable appetite for new games,” adds Morante, “I predict we’ll always have Lucky Stars – but I can’t even imagine what our games developers have up their sleeves for our next eight years!”

Weekly Free Roll Tournament Winners to Attend Hollywood Party

Free Tournament Winners Get All-Expense Paid Trip to Hollywood Movie Premiere

This month, players in Aces.com’s regular Wednesday Free Roll Tournament will have two chances to win an all expense paid trip to Hollywood to attend Aces.com’s party celebrating the release of ACES the Movie, the sexy new poker movie sponsored by the retro-Vegas-style online casino.

Aces.com’s Texas Hold ‘Em Free Roll, held every Wednesday night at 11:00 p.m., is one of the most popular tournaments at the online casino known for free tournaments. It’s a friendly match where long-time rivals face off against each other and take on all challengers. Over the summer, the director and stars of ACES the Movie have joined them. Her first night out, ACES star Lacey Toups even won the tournament so a Hollywood party prize package was awarded to the runner-up. Director Daniel Zirilli and Christina Morris (bad girl ‘Elle’ in the movie) will play in the online tournament September 13 and 20.

“There’s always a nice cash prize, and some great bonus stuff – like the silk shirt that everyone seems to want,” says Aces.com Manager Rene Quesada. “But we often have extra special prizes, like the time we sent the Wednesday winner to the Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas, or when the champion won a trip to the MLB All Stars Game. This month, it’s VIP passes to our Hollywood party!”

Two tournament champs have already won movie premiere prize packages and three more all-expense paid trips will be awarded this month. Aces.com’s popular Wednesday Night Free Roll will award premiere party prize packages to tournament winners Wednesday, September 13 & 20. The winner of the Three-Card Poker Tournament September 11 – 18 will also win airfare and accommodation to attend the event.

ACES the Movie is the story of three sexy college girls that take a high tech cheating scheme to the underground card rooms of Las Vegas. It will be released on DVD by Warner Brothers October 3rd but new players can register now at Aces.com to receive a free copy.

Coordinated by celebrity party-planner Alex Quinn, the Aces the Movie Hollywood Premiere will be hosted by Aces.com at Vanguard Hollywood, one of the biggest and trendiest dance clubs in Los Angeles.
