St Patrick’s Day at Vegas Online Casino

Having started at 10:30 in the morning on the 17th of March and expected to end at 22:30 on the 25th of March, Online Vegas Casino’s St Patrick’s Day tournament has long been awaited by their players and promises to be a real treat, especially as registration is free.

Once registered, players receive a starting balance of $15 worth of chips. This balance can be enlarged by rebuys costing $4.99 each, adding $150 to the balance of chips.

The price pool for this week long tournament consists of $25000 and will have to be shared among a total of 6000 players, so winnings are going to be comparatively low – top prize is $1000, second is $460 and third will be $350. It is therefore likely that most players will probably only use the initial free chips to try their luck.

The slot designated for the tournament will be Luck Of The Irish, a classic slot with 3 reels and only 1 payline. The theme is obviously Irish and symbols featured include pots of gold, four leaf clovers and Leprechauns. 3 pots of gold appearing on the payline (assuming a bet of 3 coins) will pay out a 2400 coin jackpot. The wild symbol will act as a multiplier and offers a great payout opportunity. The bonus symbol, a Leprechaun, will only appear on reel 3 and triggers the appearance of a group of several Leprechauns in place of the payout table. Players choose one of these Leprechauns in order to get a bonus prize. In case they are not happy with the prize, they may pick again, with a maximum total of 3 possible picks.

Usually, registration for Online Vegas Casino’s tournaments is not possible until a couple of days before the start day. However, this time they have opened registration earlier, namely the beginning of March and this is proving to have been a good idea – so far well over 18000 players have already chosen to register, a staggering number by anyone’s standards! Obviously everyone wants to take advantage of the luck usually associated with the Irish, and particularly St Patrick.

It certainly promises to be an exciting, thrilling time for many, in spite of the comparatively low winnings available and all that remains to be said is good luck to each and every player taking part in this long awaited event.
