Earth Day and Birthday Celebrations Combine for Big Bonuses at Casino Del Rio

Posted by Gambling News | Casino News | Sunday 25 April 2010 1:13 pm

Casino Del Rio, the first eco-friendly online casino, is celebrating its seventh birthday this Earth Day with special casino promotions.

With all the games one would expect to find at an online casino, Casino Del Rio has long added a unique ecological twist to the online gaming experience. Beyond a green themed website, designed to reflect the casino’s eco-friendly orientation, Casino Del Rio also pledges to plant a tree for every new depositing player.

While no Earth Day games per se are planned as part of Del Rio’s official birthday party, throughout the duration of the promotion (April 19th – 25th), registered players will receive an extra 100% on their first deposit of the day (every day), plus an additional 40% on every deposit made.

"As an online casino with an eco-friendly theme, it makes sense that Casino Del Rio actively participate in Earth Day events," commented Euro Partners Marketing VP Marc Kenigsberg. "Seeing as Earth Day coincides with the casino’s seventh birthday it makes all the more sense to celebrate with an extra bonus promotion."

Players who care about the environment are encouraged to visit Casino Del Rio this Earth Day where they can, in the words of the online casino "go green, play green and win green".

With Pharaoh’s Secrets, you will get to enter the atmospheric world of Ancient Egypt, featuring pharaohs, pyramids, scarab beetles and mysterious underground passages. It is one of the first Slot Games to offer the Xtra Win feature, which adds 50% to your total bet for each spin when all 20 paylines are activated. By spinning three or more Scatter symbols you can also enter the Pharaoh’s Secrets Bonus Round, where picking one of three special symbols could lead you to discovering free games and more chances to win.

You can also enjoy some serious action with Punisher War Zone, a five-reel, 20-line Slot featuring characters from the popular Marvel film.
