New Rival Casino Just Launched

If you like the Rival Casino software — especially their innovative i-Slots and other video slots — then head on over to the newest Rival operator on the block, Spintime Casino.

New slot players at Spintime Casino will enjoy 543 in free credits, and 15 minutes to win up to 100 credits, claimable after an initial deposit of 25. Even if you don’t win, you can still claim a generous 100% bonus on your first deposit of between 25 and 777!

Please note that these bonuses do carry playthrough requirement that depends on the games that you decide to play. In general, all slots play counts 100% toward the playthrough requirement, while other games count only a fraction toward meeting the playthrough requirement.

Tens or Better (ToB) Online Video Poker

Ten of the sixteen most popular online gambling software vendors deal Tens or Better Online Video Poker. The house percentage on these games ranges from a worse of 3.74% at Parlay Entertainment sites to a best of 0.87% at Microgaming, Rival, Vegas Tech, Grand Virtual, Boss, and Playsafe sites. (I prefer Rival online casinos over the others, because it also offers the best odds on other varieties of video poker.)

Play Tens or Better at these top-rated Rival gaming sites.

Get Lucky with Best Of Luck Video Slot Machine

Several Rival Gaming online casinos are offering free cash to try the latest online video slot machine called Best of Luck.

Featuring lucky symbols from around the world, such as horseshoes, lucky pennies, wishbones and rabbit’s feet, this slot embodies the essence of good fortune. But, it does much more than that. Best of Luck introduces a new feature which has the potential for some incredibly huge wins. Rather than awarding plain old free spins, Best of Luck awards one of 6 different bonus rounds on each free spin. Win the same bonus round 3 times during a set of free spins and you’ll be awarded an additional 3 free spins. Hit 4 or 5 triggering icons to increase the multiplier and number of free spins, for even bigger payouts and a greater chance of winning more spins.

The recommended sites for Best of Luck are listed below.

Deuces Wild (DW) Online Video Poker

Deuces Wild (DW) online video poker is an exciting variant of video poker in which 2s are wild. Your bankroll will experience a lot of ups and downs relative to other forms of video poker because your return is based more on higher paying hands than in, for example, plain old generic Jacks or Better.

Optimal play in Deuces Wild will often dictate that you throw away all 5 dealt cards, so be prepared to simply “try again” on a fair number of hands in order to try for the all-power wild cards. For example, when dealt a hand that excludes 2s, a pair, a four-flush

The vast majority of online gambling sites offer Deuces Wild video poker, but not all of them offer a decent payout to players. Grand Virtual offers the best return to players at a whopping 99.72%, but not all players from all regions are accepted at Grand Virtual online casinos; for example, U.S. players are excluded, as are players from other countries. The next-best choices are the Rival Gaming online casinos, offering a 99.37% return. The download version of the BetUS.com Casino is a Rival Gaming casino, and BetUS.com Casino (unlike other Rival Gaming casinos) accepts players from all 50 US states.

30 Minutes, 888 Free, Keep your Winnings

Online Casino New Player Promotion

The US-friendly Rival Gaming online casino, Ruby Royal, has a new player promotion this month. While “timed free play” offers are popular for Microgaming online casinos (all of which bar US players, in case you are wondering), this is the first “timed free play” offer that I have seen for a Rival Gaming online casino.

Here is a short summary of the new player offer at Ruby Royal; see their Promotions page for complete details.

“Simply register a real casino account, log into the software and visit the cashier. Claim the bonus ’30 minutes and 888 free bets’. Once you claim the bonus, you have 30 minutes and 888 free bonus cash to go for the jackpot and win as much as you can. Anything over and above the 888 is considered winnings and is yours to keep up to a maximum of 100 credits. Regardless of whether you win or lose on this risk free offer, you will still be eligible to claim our massive 100% matching bonus up to 888 free on your first deposit.”
