Leading online casino Vegas Red celebrates its seventh birthday with seven days of $1,000 cash prizes and a virtual trip to the Wonders of the World

From November 14th through November 20th (inclusive) Vegas Red Casino is celebrating its seventh anniversary online.

The popular online casino, renowned for its sizzling hot Vegas style atmosphere and wide range of online casino games, has been welcoming players through its virtual doors for seven years now. In order to mark the occasion, Vegas Red is holding a special bonus promotion themed around the Seven Wonders of the World.

Each day, from November 14-20, one lucky player will win £1,000 via a random draw. Eligibility for the prize draw is contingent upon making a deposit. All players who deposit a minimum of £100 on that day are automatically entered into the draw.

In addition to the £1,000 prize, players who win the daily draw will also have their names added to the special birthday celebration landing page, for all to see.

As is the case with all of Vegas Red’s casino promotions, registered players are encouraged to consult their inboxes for all the details.

Players who have yet to register can easily create an account by downloading Vegas Red’s free casino software, or opening an account in the free Flash casino. Once they have opened their casino account, they can proceed to make a deposit, and play any number of casino games (including online roulette, slots, video poker, blackjack, craps and more), for cash prizes.

Following a first place finish at PartyPoker’s World Open and a fourth place finish at EPT Vilamoura, Sam Trickett was selected as Best New Player by his British poker peers.

Titan Poker Team member Sam Trickett was chosen as the Best New Player by his British poker peers and received his award at the inaugural British Poker Awards ceremony at London’s Kensington Close Hotel on September 13. Trickett’s dominance of the European poker circuit has become very apparent with his recent first place finish at PartyPoker’s World Open and a fourth place finish at the EPT Vilamoura in Portugal.

Earlier this month, Trickett took home first prize of $200,000 at PartyPoker’s World Open poker tournament held at the Palm Beach Casino in London. The win came a short time after Trickett finished in 4th Place at the EPT Vilamoura 2010 Main Event tournament in Portugal for a prize of €139,680.

Trickett competed in the World Open and at the EPT Vilamoura on behalf of Titan Poker, the leading online poker room in Europe.

Forty-eight top poker players participated in the $10,000 buy-in World Open tournament, which was staged in a series of heats. According to media reports, “Trickett was phenomenal in his Heat, and equally prolific in the final.” As professional poker commentator Mike Sexton said, “He’s one helluva player, and you’ll be hearing a lot more of Sam Trickett, I can promise you that.”

Trickett dominated most of the Vilamoura poker tournament, the biggest poker event ever held in Portugal, until a run of bad luck at the Final Table left him with a fourth place exit. Team Titan colleague Joel Benzinou finished in 48th place at the same event with a prize of €7,822.

Trickett recently enjoyed huge success at the 2010 World Series of Poker* in Las Vegas, cashing out in at a number of the events. He finished in second place in the $5,000 NL Hold’em Event #17, for a prize of $505,725. With five other cash-outs, he left Vegas with a grand total of $693,827 in prizes.

Along with the other members of Team Titan, Trickett is set for more action on the European poker circuit with participation already confirmed for EPT London 2010 at the end of September.

Team Titan is a 6-member professional team led by Sorel Mizzi, one of the most well-known online poker players. The other team members are Sam Trickett, Marvin Rettenmaier, Jonas Klausen, Yann Brosolo, Florian Desgouttes, and Joel Benzinou.

Online poker players have been given the opportunity to hunt down and knock out the members of Team Titan in a series of exclusive Titan Poker bounty tournaments culminating in Heads Up clashes with the team during the month of November.

Winners of Euro Partners online casinos’ Oktoberfest promotions will receive a year’s supply of free beer

Select Euro Partners casinos are offering a special treat in honor of Oktoberfest 2010 – free beer for a year!

Europa Casino, Casino Tropez and Titan Casino are each offering players the opportunity to win a special grand prize, which amounts to the cash equivalent of free beer for a year.

The individual with the highest number of comp points accumulated during this time (per respective casino) will be awarded the prize.

Comp points are automatically earned by players making real money wagers as they play. The more one wagers, the more comp points earned.

“Winning free beer for a year is like winning a free Oktoberfest ticket, year-round” commented Euro Partners Marketing VP Marc Kenigsberg. “It’s basically a prize that keeps on giving, taking the fun and camaraderie of Oktoberfest and extending it throughout the entire year. Not only do the winning players get a wonderful prize, they also get to be part of Europe’s largest festival.”

The Euro Partners Oktoberfest promotions are running at Casino Tropez, Titan Casino and Europa Casino from September 23-October 6 inclusive, in conjunction with the casinos’ regularly scheduled weekday and weekend promotions and bonus offers.

Registered players are encouraged to visit the participating casinos’ websites or check their inboxes for more details. Non-registered players are encouraged to download the participating casinos’ software, free of charge, in order to compete in the Oktoberfest promotions.
