There are a number of exciting online casino tournaments that are taking place this March. One of the most exciting online casino tournaments that are taking place right now is the March Madness online casino slot tournament.

The March Madness tournament began on March 1st 2011, and continues right through until the end of the month to March 31st 2011. Those who wish to join in with the madness can sign up and begin play for a $10 entry fee. March Madness will be played on the Butterflies online casino slot game.

For those who are already playing in the tournament, it is possible to make use of the re-buy facility if their coin stack has run too low. Making use of the re-buy feature costs $10, the same as it costs to buy an entry into the March Madness online casino tournament.

Players begin the game by starting off with a $200 chip stack. Those who wish to make use of the re-buy feature are able to take advantage of it if their chip stack has dropped as low as $5. Although most online casino slots tournaments give players a new chip stack that is the same size as the initial amount received, March Madness is giving players a bigger chip stack for those who use the re-buy feature, with a total of $225.

Those who play in the March Madness tournament stand a chance of winning a portion of the $100,000 prize pool. The prize pool is comprised of $60,000 in cash prizes, and the other $40,000 will be given in bonuses.

The $60,000 of prize money will be paid out to the players who place in the first 40 places in the March Madness tournament. $25,000 goes to the player who places the highest on the leader board. The player who comes in second wins $10,000, and the player who wins third place receives $5,000.

Cash prizes are then awarded with the size of the prizes decreasing, and the final cash prizes of $250 goes to each player who ends up placing 31st to 40th on the leader board.

The $40,000 worth of bonus points will be awarded to about the next 2,500 players on the leader board.

March Madness can be played at all online casinos that form part of the English Harbour Group of online casinos. Casino People has reviewed both Millionaire Casino, and VIP Slots Casino, both of which are part of the English Harbour Group of online casinos. These online casinos are powered by online casino software from Vegas Technology.
