The New Year has been started off right for players in United Kingdom online casinos.  United Kingdom players have had quite a few online slots to take advantage of.  With the weekend almost at a close there are sure to be some top winners for this first weekend.

This quick start for United Kingdom players is not happening for all online players.  Instead the United States players have yet to see a tournament offered for the new year weekend.  Two days into the new year and no online casino that offers games to United States players are providing tournaments.  US players are certainly hoping things pick up, but it could be that these online casinos are a little wary.

Unlike the United Kingdom there are some tough laws in the US making it almost impossible for the US to collect their winnings even if they get them.  Hopefully, this will not stop the online casinos from fighting for US players to be allowed on, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

The good news is that the UK has had plenty of opportunities including the Vegas online casino tournament that just ended.  It started a New Year’s tourney on Friday.    The slot tournament is a free roll tournament meaning you can enter for nothing and still play for a good prize.  The prize is $50 which will be split by the top players as always.  Anyone who needs to buy back in will not be able to use the free roll option.  Instead to get back into the game it will be $12.99.  The only reason to buy back in is if players run out of money and still want to try for the prize.

This tournament is going to end on Tuesday at 7pm local time.  The original balance for the tournament is $80.  Players will of course feel like adding more to that with a $12.99 buy in since they will get an additional $350 for the second buy in.  Vegas has had a number of payouts in the last few months with tournaments.  This one is not going to be any less.  Some of the slots outside of tournaments have been paying out as well.  One slot offered $30,000 to the winner.  Others have paid out $2,500 to $20,000.  With such top pay outs Vegas is one online casino to play at.
