Casino City’s Friday Five: Las Vegas casino openings edition
Let’s get into it with some free spins:
5. Intertops Casino Red offering bonuses on Witchy Wins
Until Halloween, depositing players at Intertops Casino Red receive 50 free spins on the new Witchy Wins and get up to $3,000 in bonus cash.
“I don’t know what came over me when I doubled the bonus this time,” laughed Intertops Casino’s manager. “It’s like I was under a spell!”
Witchy Wins’ Wild symbol is a bubbling cauldron. It can randomly morph into a golden cauldron and become a multiplying wild that multiplies wins up to 4x.
Scatters trigger up to 50 free spins with the new wild reels feature. During free spins, one entire reel is always wild.
We cast a spell on you in our scarily-good new Witchy Wins slot at Intertops Casino. Get your bonus specials + free spins (valid until October 4th). https://t.co/nSGDRI322i pic.twitter.com/sRpyBWcTnE
