Microgaming is a huge provider of online gaming software.  Today they confirmed that a new tournament will begin in coming months at their online casinos.  A Grand Slam of Slots tournament allows for any player at a Microgaming online casino to enter.  The pot is 1 million Euros.  There are also hundreds of cash prizes players can win.

This is not the first time online slot tournaments have decided to give away upwards of a million, but it is when you consider the prize is just for one person.  Most tournaments will split a million, but not this time.  There will be over 9000 players in the tournament trying to make the win.  Players have from October 22nd to November 2nd, a nine day period to become the winner.  

All it takes is staying on top of the leader board throughout the entire tournament.  Mike Hebden, an employee of Mircogaming casinos stated that as a market leader they want to present a unique offering unlike any other.  This has meant changing the way slot tournaments are held.

The nine day period is just the final competition of this tournament.  Starting July 1st the tournament began the first round.  This round is important to get a start and see who falls off during the coming months; however it is the October final where things really matter.

32Red announced another type of big deal for their online casino.  This is not a slot tournament, but an agreement with Swansea City FC.  The partnership is bringing in the Swansea City Football Club into the online casino industry where 350 casino games, bonuses, and monthly awards will be available. The football club is basically offering an endorsement to the popular online casino.  Prizes being won during tournaments or as loyalty offerings will include tee shirts from the club.

It not only allows players something to look forward to, but it also enhances the notoriety of both the club and online casino.  32 Red stated they made the deal so that poker winners, slot winners, and tournament winners could get their favourite shirt.  In years past they have had Premier League Club Aston Villa.  In fact 32 Red is seeking out other club offers so that all players can obtain their favourite football club shirt.  It is something they are proud to be a part of.  The club is going to share some profits from the online casino.
