December 17 saw the start of one of the biggest online tournaments of the season at Online Vegas Casino.  More than 1,100 participants have already signed up for this tournament, named Countdown to Christmas Freeroll,  that is offering a guaranteed prize pool of $25,000 and will continue until 24th December, 2010. This massive prize pool is actually a third of the prize money that has been set aside for the entire month.

When Online Vegas Casino holds big events, part of the prize money is disbursed in casino credits and part in loyalty points and this will therefore be the case in the Countdown to Christmas Freeroll.  $90,250 worth of casino credits is to be shared among the top 100 players on the leader board after which $159,750 worth of loyalty points will be distributed.  $40,000 credits will be awarded to the first place winner while the second place winner will walk away with $13,000 credits.  More than 4,000 lucky players will all receive a share of the loyalty points.

Online Vegas Casino is not asking for an entry fee to the Countdown to Christmas Freeroll and players will start with only $50 worth of chips but will be allowed an unlimited amount of rebuys in this slots tournament.  Rebuys can be had at a cost of $2.99 each when a player’s chip balance falls to $25 but they will be given a chip stack worth $350.

The popular slot game, Winter Wonderland from Vegas Technology has been designated for the Countdown to Christmas Freeroll.  This 5 reel, 20 paylines video game reminds one of fantastic winters with its fairytales and miracles.  It offers symbols such as Snowflake, Winter Hat, Winter Gloves, Sledge, Snowman, Ice Skating Boots, Gift, Girl, and Gingerbread Man all of which help to put players into a childish mood and allow them to enjoy the best of winter.  The snowman is the wild symbol who can substitute any other icons except the scatter Snowflakes and bonus Skier in order to produce more winning combinations.
