Casino Treasure to Give Away $4000

Monday, August 11th, 2008

The French-language Cyprus-based online casino, Casino Treasure, is giving players a chance to share in over $4000 worth of cash prizes that the casino is giving away to promote its Slots Club. To win, all a player has to do is meet a betting requirement for a chance to win a total of $1650 or more.

The Slots Club promotion offers prizes with varying amounts depending on the class the player is in. The best part is that a player can win a huge amount if they get lucky playing Online Slots, but they can also win big through bonuses!

To qualify, you must meet the minimum wagering requirement for your class. This amount must also be bet on the Paradise Island Online Slot game at Casino Treasure. The more a player plays, the higher their chances of winning.

If a player is in the Gold class, they can win up to $1650 in prizes, with a minimum betting of $5000 to qualify. Silver class is also offering a special bonus, with a possible $900 to be won with a minimum of $2500 to be wagered. For players with a smaller bankroll, $500 can be won in total prizes with a minimum wagering requirement of $1000 in bronze class.

For those players who are not comfortable betting a total of $1000, or for those who miss out on the main prize, the casino is also offering a special “second-chance draw,” with 10 random people chosen to receive a free $150 bonus. The only requirement is that players bet a minimum of $300 on Paradise Island.
