Grande Vegas Casino Players Finding Surprise Bonuses in Their Casino Message Center this Month
If you play casino games at Grande Vegas Casino -- you have mail! The popular online casino will be sending news about special offers such as no-deposit bonuses, cash-back bonuses, add-on tournaments and extra deposit bonuses three times in September. They haven't said when the messages will be sent though, and there will be no email or any other notification, so players would be wise to check their Message Center regularly.
“The special bonuses will be no surprise for our players since they’re used to getting lots of casino bonuses -- and we’ve told them there will be more this month,” said casino manager Robert Miller. “However, WHEN we send the messages will be a complete surprise, so we encourage everyone to keep an eye on their casino Message Center!”
The Message Center surprise bonuses begin September 6th. Since players will have only 24 hours to redeem them, it’s important to check frequently so as not to miss out on any free cash. As a sample of even bigger surprises to come, Miller sent a message to players today about a surprise bonus valid for one week. (Standard wagering requirements apply and are detailed on the casino’s website.)
Grande Vegas Casino offers more than 300 casino games including slots, blackjack and roulette. It launched its newest online slot machine earlier this month. “Glitz & Glamour” is a 5 reel, 25 pay line slot machine with a decadent “old Hollywood” theme. Players can earn up to 30 free games giving them lots of extra game-time.
GrandeVegasCasino.com offers some of the biggest progressive jackpots available online including Jackpot Pinatas which is currently over $1.7 million. Aztec’s Millions is over $1.2 million and the Midlife Crisis/Shopping Spree has topped $1.1 million. Even Cleopatra’s Gold has a jackpot of over a quarter million.

Poker in the Park V takes place on 2nd and 3rd September at the new venue of Hanover Square, a stone’s throw from Oxford Circus.
“The bar is the social hub of Poker in the Park,” said organiser Michael Caselli, “And we’re thrilled that such an industry heavyweight as Paysafecard has come on board. With the main stage banging out music and entertainment and the Paysafecard Bar looking after our guests, we’ll have even more of a festival atmosphere this year.”

Genting Sponsors Poker Dome at Poker in the Park
Genting Casinos, through their flagship London card rooms the Palm Beach and Bluff @ The Mint, will be sponsoring one of the Poker Domes at Poker in the Park in London’s Hanover Square on 2nd and 3rd September.
Poker in the Park is Europe’s biggest free poker festival which, as well as offering free poker lectures and tuition, music and entertainment, will be running live sit and go’s around the clock in two giant Poker Domes. Last year, the domes proved massively popular, with players coming from all over the country and queuing around the block to get a piece of the action.
The Palm Beach, situated in nearby Mayfair, has become the poker destination for London in recent years and a hub of the poker community. Over in South Kensington, meanwhile, Bluff @ The Mint offers great value cash games and tournaments around the clock.
Festival organiser Michael Caselli said, “The Palm Beach is a name that’s synonymous with the London poker scene and so we’re thrilled to have them on board at Poker in the Park. It’s going to be a really fun environment with lots and lots of live poker.”
London Poker Manager at Genting, Simon Tomsett, added: “It’s always been very important to Genting to support the game of poker wherever and whenever we can, and so we’re delighted to be involved with a great event like Poker in the Park which gives us the chance to get behind the game on a real grassroots level.”

WinADay Player Uses $140,461 Jackpot to Fulfill Dream of Opening Flower Shop
A $140K win last week at WinADayCasino.com no download casino is making a wish come true for a player who’s always dreamed of having her own flower shop. Lizzie J won $140,461 on August 3rd playing the game-show-inspired Win A Fortune slot machine.
The jackpot winner, known as SWEETGAL on the site, says the first thing she’ll do is pay off her credit card debt and then she’ll make a personal dream come true.
“I’ve always dreamt of opening my own flower shop,” said the winner. “I never really thought it would be possible but now it is! I still can’t believe it!”
The win was announced yesterday on WinADay’s Facebook page and congratulatory messages from fellow players have started pouring in: “Congrats” “Wow, I can only imagine…” “Way to go SWEETGAL”
WinADay’s progressive jackpot can be won on any of its slots games but this is the first major jackpot win on Win A Fortune which only launched last fall. Win a Fortune brings the thrills of America’s favourite television game show to an exciting new one-of-a-kind slot machine. It has a nail-biting double-or-nothing Double Bonus Round and a Fortune Wheel that gives additional Wild symbols with up to 5x multipliers.
Although she’s been playing at WinADay since shortly after the instant play casino first opened, Lizzie said she hasn’t really played Win a Fortune very much. She said her favorite casino games are actually the new Fruitful 7s and Vegas Mania with Pyramid Plunder close behind.
Unlike some of the more elaborate one-of-a-kind games that WinADay has been creating lately, Fruitful 7s is a back-to-basics traditional pub-style online slot machine. Vegas Mania has all the flashing lights and exciting sounds of The Strip and Egyptian-themed Pyramid Plunder has an elaborate bonus game built into it.
The progressive jackpot was reset to $50,000 following this win and is already over $64,000. WinADay’s sister site, Slotland.com, paid out a $128K jackpot in June and the jackpot there is already approaching $100,000 again.
The jackpot winner, known as SWEETGAL on the site, says the first thing she’ll do is pay off her credit card debt and then she’ll make a personal dream come true.
“I’ve always dreamt of opening my own flower shop,” said the winner. “I never really thought it would be possible but now it is! I still can’t believe it!”
The win was announced yesterday on WinADay’s Facebook page and congratulatory messages from fellow players have started pouring in: “Congrats” “Wow, I can only imagine…” “Way to go SWEETGAL”
WinADay’s progressive jackpot can be won on any of its slots games but this is the first major jackpot win on Win A Fortune which only launched last fall. Win a Fortune brings the thrills of America’s favourite television game show to an exciting new one-of-a-kind slot machine. It has a nail-biting double-or-nothing Double Bonus Round and a Fortune Wheel that gives additional Wild symbols with up to 5x multipliers.
Although she’s been playing at WinADay since shortly after the instant play casino first opened, Lizzie said she hasn’t really played Win a Fortune very much. She said her favorite casino games are actually the new Fruitful 7s and Vegas Mania with Pyramid Plunder close behind.
Unlike some of the more elaborate one-of-a-kind games that WinADay has been creating lately, Fruitful 7s is a back-to-basics traditional pub-style online slot machine. Vegas Mania has all the flashing lights and exciting sounds of The Strip and Egyptian-themed Pyramid Plunder has an elaborate bonus game built into it.

$15K Up for Grabs in Intertops Poker's August Points Race; $2000 Free Roll at Month End
With so much more money up for grabs than usual, Intertops Poker’s FPP (Frequent Player Points) Races will be keeping the popular online poker room’s tables busier than ever throughout August. Every week, the top 60 point-earners will each get a share of that week’s $3750 prize pool. There will be four week-long races in August awarding a total of $15,000 in prize money.
The month will culminate with the Bluff Europe Free Roll August 28th when Intertops will put $2000 in the pot.
Intertops Poker players earn Frequent Player Points whenever they are dealt cards at any real-money cash game or pay a tournament entry fee. Points are automatically converted into Gold Chips which can then be redeemed for prizes, free poker tournaments or as non-deposit bonuses.
Throughout August, players can check their current points total and ranking on the FPP Leaderboard, updated daily. Prizes of up to $530 will be deposited in players’ accounts on Monday August 9, 17, 25 and September 2. (Standard betting requirements for bonuses, detailed on the website, apply.)
“Of course players measure their success by their bank roll,” said the manager of Intertops Poker, “But judging by the ongoing popularity of our FPP Races they also like to compete against each other and show who is on top of their game. We can tell by the daily traffic on the Leaderboard page of our site that players are checking their rankings pretty frequently!”
On August 28th Intertops Poker will host the Bluff Europe Free Roll Tournament and will put up $2000 in prize money. There are no qualifying requirements and all players are welcome. This special month-end free roll tournament is in addition to the $25,000 Weekly Guaranteed Tournament and $1000 Guaranteed Freeze-out Tournaments each held every Sunday.
Intertops Poker recently installed a major poker software update with a slick new look and advanced tools for online poker tournament players. For those playing a lot of tournaments rather than Sit n Go games, the new direct tournament registration and excel-style sheets for organizing schedules are helpful. The new software also features a Tournament Notifier enabling players to filter the tournament notices they receive and a Tournament Calendar to remind them about online poker tournaments they’ve registered for. Re-sizeable tables can be scaled down to industry-standard minimum size and the Tournament Lobby now includes links to Satellites.
Intertops has been one of the world’s most trusted online poker room, casino and sportsbook sites for more than fifteen years. Known for its amazing customer service, players know Intertops has the best bonuses and promotions and that they can withdraw and deposit without hassles. Intertops welcomes players from around the world.
Complete details of Intertops Poker’s August FPP Races are available on the “Promotions” tab at http://poker.intertops.eu.
