It will feature 22 guaranteed events over ten days including no-limit Texas hold’em, HORSE and Pot-Limit Omaha with a combined prize pool of $2.5 million. In keeping with the online poker site’s commitment to letting more poker players in on the excitement, it has also introduced the Mini UBOC, which is a series of smaller events running parallel to the larger online Championship. With the exception of the two big events, each UBOC game will be mirrored by a separate Mini UBOC series where players can purchase a seat for approximately ten percent of the corresponding UBOC buy-in and compete for a lucrative prize pool.

Always listening, Slotland.com has incorporated player feedback in a new and improved version of one of their most popular games, Four Cast. The game has been re-worked to enable players to make it through four rounds for each game. Maximum payout has been increased as well and players can now win up to 100X their wager if they are able to predict the suit and value of all four cards dealt by the video poker style dealer. Apart from the famous progressive jackpot tied to all of their 15 unique slot machines, FourCast has one of the biggest payouts available at Slotland.com. Players can win as much as $8000 on a $20 bet. 100 X can become 400% if there’s a joker in the hand. Players hit Slotland’s famous progressive jackpot if they correctly predict all four cards and the cards are in four different suits.

It’s a card prediction game that combines the thrills of cards and the quick, easy play of spinning slots in an exciting new game that challenges players’ psychic powers. “You can play this game by yourself,” said Ondrej Tuma from Slotland.com. “But this one is even more fun if you gather a couple of people around the computer and all try to predict the next card.” All of Slotland’s games are “instant play” so there’s no downloading. And none of them are available at any other online casino. However, many of them are also available on mobile phones at Slotland’s mobile games site, wap.Slotland.com. All of Slotland.com’s web and mobile games are tied into the same progressive jackpot that is hit for well over six figures about every six weeks.
