$2.43 Million Grand Slam of Slots 2 Tournament – Where’s Our Freedom?

The residents of the United Kingdom are enjoying freedoms that Americans can only dream of. This week, while UK residents (along with the rest of the world) are participating in the biggest online slot tournament of all time with multiple six figure prizes, their American neighbors are not permitted to participate. While UK residents can gamble at mobile casinos with their hard earned money, Americans are told that they aren’t allowed.

Where is Freedom? What did all those countless boys die for if not for the notion of the inalienable right of the ‘pursuit of happiness’? As I today sit in New York for a short visit, writing this column, I only wonder what the Founding Fathers of the United States would say to this travesty. They must have simply forgotten to include the 'right to gamble' in the Bill of Rights, as they forgot to include the 'right to use a toilet' or the 'right to make love to your spouse'.

Nobody in the 18th century would have imagined that the Federal government of the United States would take away such rights. It turns out that the Anti-Federalists were 100% correct and James Madison and Alexander Hamilton deserve a slap (with a glove) when a time machine is invented.

So my UK friends, enjoy this tournament, and know that millions of us, on the other side of the Atlantic are green with envy (and not just because today is St. Patrick’s Day!) We wish you luck playing this:

The Grand Slam of Slots 2 is the biggest online slots tournament of all time. Since its progressive, the first place prize could easily wind up being over a million dollars. All casinos that are part of the Microgaming network are participating. Top 290 places are paid, with $100K guaranteed for the first place.

All players have a chance to win the Special Prize - $2,430,000 million worth of pure Gold – 54 kilograms (or 119 pounds.) To win those shiny golden bricks, all that needs to be done is to get to the Gold Level Bonus Feature in the Thunderstruck II Slot Tournament Game without making even a single re-buy.
