32Red Online Casino is offering its biggest ever slots tournament worth €1.3 million in the Grand Slam of Slots

32Red, the award-winning online casino, has announced that it will be running its biggest ever online slots tournament this summer. The Grand Slam of Slots boasts a total prize pool of €1.3 million and a top prize of €1,000,000.

Slot tournaments first came to online casinos in 2008 as an entirely new way of playing online slots and have been popular ever since. Players join a tournament based on one of three online slot games which are available and play the slots as normal. However, instead of cash being awarded from certain combinations on the reels, players receive the equivalent payouts in points instead. The sum of these points establishes their position on a leader board which, when the slot tournament is finished, determines the amount of the prizepool the player receives. The higher up the leaderboard players finish the greater the prize. In this case, players in the Grand Slam of Slots battle for €1.3 million and can win €1 million for finishing in the top position.

Head of Marketing for 32Red, Mark Quayle, said, “The Grand Slam of Slots is one of the biggest gaming events we’ve ever been part of and is a great chance for players to experience these great games, the amazing Tomb Raider* online slot and become the first slot tournament millionaire in the process.”

He added, “There are 481 winning places in addition to the massive €1,000,000 top spot, where players can win runner-up prizes worth up to €50,000. That means a ticket to the Grand Slam of Slots has a 20% chance of being a winner. In true 32Red style we’ve added 32 €1,000 bonus prizes that will keep the tournament exciting and competitive throughout the leaderboard and not just at the top. Players can even pickup a €1,000 prize in 8328th place.”

Tickets to Grand Slam of Slots are not available to buy; instead 32Red Casino will be offering competitions, leaderboards and more to allow players to secure their seat. The final will take place over 9 days between Friday the 23rd October and Monday November 2nd which allows for an unlimited number of rebuys. Quayle pointed out, “Rebuys are going to be pivotal to anyone serious about hitting one of the bigger prizes. The opportunity for more credit and time will boost leaderboard scores and could be the difference between finishing below the payment threshold or in the money. For those wanting to practice their slot tournament skills, 32Red runs daily tournaments and even free slot tournaments from inside their online casino.”

Swansea City Football Club Announce Sponsorship Deal with 32Red Online Casino

32Red Plc and Swansea City FC announced today a partnership that will see the award-winning online gaming firm become the South Wales club’s official shirt and gaming sponsors.

The two-year sponsorship deal will see the 32 Red logo placed on the front of the Swans’ home and away shirts, while the Gibraltar-based company will also become the club’s official online gaming partner.

32Red Online Casino offers players over 350 unique casino games and a choice of welcome bonuses and monthly rewards. The poker site provides thousands of poker tables where players can enjoy games of Texas Hold’em, Omaha poker and more in addition to online bingo and a mobile phone casino.

The deal also reverses the current trend where an increasing number of professional clubs are failing to secure shirt sponsorship in today’s difficult financial climate. Swansea City’s vice-chairman, Leigh Dineen, was delighted to secure 32Red Casino as club sponsor, especially as 32Red’s previous shirt deal was with Premier League Club Aston Villa.

“It shows how far the club has come,’’ explained Dineen. “32Red were talking to a number of other football clubs, including some in the Premiership, about shirt sponsorship; but we are delighted to become their chosen partners in football. We are now a Championship club with a Premiership sponsor – and that’s something we are very proud of.”

Dineen added, “It was also encouraging to see a number of companies express an interest in becoming our main sponsor. There were some very interesting discussions over the course of last season, but 32Red was without doubt the best deal for us. It is a modern company with global reach; has pro-active ideas and will help us spread the Swans message to the international stage. We are really excited about working with them and I’m sure we will make a great team.”

The deal also represents an exciting and potentially lucrative opportunity for the club to share revenue drawn from 32Red’s online casino, poker and betting services. The club will be announcing some exciting initiatives on this link for its official website and supporters’ on July 1.

Ed Ware, CEO of 32Red, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Swansea City, one of the most exciting clubs in the Championship. Swansea has become a highly progressive team over recent seasons and we are looking forward to an exciting time as the club’s main sponsor.”

“The deal means we will once again raise our profile throughout the UK by becoming part of the football scene. And, thanks to the increased media coverage of the Championship, we expect our tie up with the Swans to deliver significant interest in our award-winning online casino.”

The sponsorship deal was facilitated with the help of Jim White and his commercial consultancy company, The Changing Face, and David Little of Magrath and Co in London. Both are avid Swans fans.
