VIP Casino is offering a slot tournament to banish the New Year blues. The tournament is labeled as the deliciously tasty Sweet Thing Slot tournament because it is being played on a unique online slot game Sweet Thing. The tournament will run for the entire month of January.

The Sweet Thing Slot tournament offers very attractive prizes. The first prize is a huge $1,000 and the second prize is $500. In addition, those between third and tenth places will win $100 each.

The player can enter the tournament any time during the month of January, but can enter it only once. At the end of the month the top ten players will be awarded the prizes.

Sweet Thing is an online slot game from the Casual Game series of Cryptologic. It gets its name because the symbols on the reels are various forms of mouth watering sweets, candies and lollipops. The unique feature about this game is that it is a 9 reel 8 payline slot game and there are less than a handful of them around. The reels are laid out in a 3 by 3 matrix giving it the appearance of a 3 reel slot, but actually all nine slots spin independently. The 8 paylines consist of 3 symbols each and are the 3 horizontal, 3 vertical and 2 diagonal lines of the matrix. After the first spin the reels that are a part of a winning combination light up and spin again without any placement of wager. This process continues till there are no winning combinations left. All the winnings are accumulated and credited to the player. Then the player has to bet again.

The Sweet Thing logo is the wild symbol. When two or more Sweet Thing symbols appear on any of the nine reels the bonus game is triggered. In the bonus game there are 8 tiles. 4 pairs of symbols are concealed behind the tiles. The player has to turn two tiles over and hope they match. The objective is to get as many matching pairs as possible with only three wrong tries. The bonus credit depends on the number of pairs uncovered.

January is action month at the Cryptologic powered InterCasino. The casino is offering online tournaments based on the branded action slots of Cryptologic. Two of the tournaments are based on Marvel Comics super heroes and one on an arcade game from Capcom Entertainment.

The Hulk Tournament will run from the 1st of January till the 10th of January. It features the Hulk online slot game. The Incredible Hulk is a shirt ripping super hero from Marvel Comics. The game depicts the transformation of the nuclear physicist Bruce Banner to the Hulk. The tournament has an entry fee of $10 and players get 30 minutes to play the Hulk online slot with a $500 starting tournament credit. The top eight players will share the prize pool of $500. The winner will get $250, the runner up will get $100 and the remaining six players will get $25 each. Since this is a tournament the players do not get to keep their winnings. The online slot has three progressive jackpots and an action packed bonus game and therefore there are many opportunities to increase the starting balance.

Next is the turn of the Street Fighter Tournament, which will run from the 11th of January to the 20th of January. This is involves the online slot Street Fighter II. Street Fighter II is based on the popular arcade game from Capcom Entertainment. The highlight of this Cryptologic slot is that players can choose their own favorite Street Fighter character from a drop down menu and this character then acts as the scatter symbol. The special effects mirror those in the original games. The Street Fighter character Sagat performs animated Muay Thai moves. The sound effects of punches, kicks and the cheering crowd are taken straight from the arcade game. The mechanics of the tournament remain the same. There is a $10 entry fee and a pool prize of $500, which is shared in the manner described earlier.

The action culminates with the Wolverine Tournament that will run from the 21st of January to the 31st of January. Again the format remains the same but the slot game is different. Wolverine is a Marvel Comics character that is a mutant with animal-keen senses, enhanced physical features like blades coming from his hand and amazing healing powers that enable him to recover from any wound. Fans of Wolverine will easily identify with the symbols on the reels such as the blade marks, Wolverine’s clothes and Wolverine’s mask. For the online tournament players the scoring opportunities will come from the three progressive jackpots and the bonus round.
