Registration opens tomorrow for the $12 buy-in event. The tournament begins 1st January and players have until 6th January to achieve a top score and win cash prizes.
"It's fun to compete against other players for prize money. And it's nice to know in advance that the most you'll spend is the buy-in fee!" commented a GrandeVegasCasino.com spokesperson. "Tournaments give players a chance to win big money without risking much. They're especially sweet when we add to the prize pool like we're doing for this one!"
In slot tournaments, players play slots against other players. The top players scoring the highest number of points get prizes with monetary value. Prizes are usually determined by the number of competitors registered, but in this case the casino is putting an extra $2012 in the prize pool. After paying a small buy-in, players receive a certain amount of starting credits and have a specified time period in which they can attempt to achieve the highest score. Scores are posted on the leader board where players can check their ranking and see the score to beat.
Grande Vegas has more than 300 casino games, including slot machines, video poker and table games like Roulette and Blackjack. Its new 50-line Monster Mayhem slot machine with its million dollar progressive jackpot is one of its most popular.
Spaces are limited so players are encouraged to register early for this first slots tournament of the new year. Registration opens on December 28th.

Penn scientists pioneer new method for watching proteins fold
2011-12-27
PHILADELPHIA — A protein's function depends on both the chains of molecules it is made of and the way those chains are folded. And while figuring out the former is relatively easy, the latter represents a huge challenge with serious implications because many diseases are the result of misfolded proteins. Now, a team of chemists at the University of Pennsylvania has devised a way to watch proteins fold in "real-time," which could lead to a better understanding of protein folding and misfolding in general.
The research was conducted by Feng Gai, professor in the Department ...
Penn engineers develop more effective MRI contrast agent for cancer detection
2011-12-27
PHILADELPHIA — Many imaging technologies and their contrast agents — chemicals used during scans to help detect tumors and other problems — involve exposure to radiation or heavy metals, which present potential health risks to patients and limit the ways they can be applied. In an effort to mitigate these drawbacks, new research from University of Pennsylvania engineers shows a way to coat an iron-based contrast agent so that it only interacts with the acidic environment of tumors, making it safer, cheaper and more effective than existing alternatives.
The research was ...

A new way of approaching the early detection of Alzheimer's disease
2011-12-27
One of our genes is apolipoprotein E (APOE), which often appears with a variation which nobody would want to have: APOEε4, the main genetic risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease (the most common form in which this disorder manifests itself and which is caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors). It is estimated that at least 40% of the sporadic patients affected by this disease are carriers of APOEε4, but this also means that much more still remains to be studied. The researcher at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) Xabier ...
Viagra against heart failure: Researchers at the RUB and from Rochester throw light on the mechanism
2011-12-27
How sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, can alleviate heart problems is reported by Bochum's researchers in cooperation with colleagues from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester (Minnesota) in the journal Circulation. They studied dogs with diastolic heart failure, a condition in which the heart chamber does not sufficiently fill with blood. The scientists showed that sildenafil makes stiffened cardiac walls more elastic again. The drug activates an enzyme that causes the giant protein titin in the myocardial cells to relax. "We have developed a therapy in an animal model ...
A new sensor to detect lung cancer from exhaled breath
2011-12-27
Some illnesses such as lung and stomach cancer or liver diseases which, due to the difficulty of diagnosis, have symptoms that are often confused with routine disorders. Therefore, in most cases, the disease is only detected at an advanced stage. New methods for early detection are being investigated as an urgent need.
Tecnalia, through the Interreg project Medisen, is contributing to develop biosensors capable of detecting the presence of tumour markers of lung cancer in exhaled breath. This is possible because of the changes produced within the organism of an ill person, ...
