PartyCasino joins the worldwide battle with the terminator online slot
PartyCasino is pleased to announce the arrival of its own T800 with the launch of ‘The Terminator’ themed slot game at the world’s largest online casino. ‘The Terminator’ is the latest movie themed slot to launch on PartyCasino and joins a collection of games that reads like a list of Hollywood’s greatest movies.
‘The Terminator’ is a 20 line, 5 reel online slot machine based on the iconic film and it obliterates your usual gaming experience. The game features high tech robots galore, police cars and everything you would expect from the world famous motion picture. The minimum stake is one cent, with a maximum jackpot win of $500,000 (alternatively, this will be £500,000 or euros depending on the currency you are playing in) and a player can bet on a maximum of 20 lines.
‘The Terminator’ features two bonus features. In the first bonus you are the Terminator and your command is to ‘Terminate Sarah Connor’ - you pursue Sarah Connor through a building terminating all targets that stand in your way. All terminated targets give an award. In the second bonus you are Kyle Reese, the famous street smart resistance fighter in the future wars. As Reese you must hold off the forces of Skynet for as long as possible, winning a prize for each tank and hunter-killer defeated.
A PartyCasino spokesman said: “The machine rose from the ashes of a nuclear fire. The war to exterminate mankind has raged for decades, but the final battle would not be fought in the future. It would be fought here, in our present and on PartyCasino.
“PartyCasino has already developed a portfolio of slots that reads like a collection of Hollywood greats and there is more to come. We’ll be back.”

Titan Poker, the largest online poker room on the iPoker Network, is set to stage its biggest ever guaranteed prize tournament on the 7th of September 2008, a $2,500,000 Guaranteed Prize tournament. For nearly four months, skilled Titan Poker players have competed in Sit&Go and Multi-Table Satellite tournaments to qualify for a seat in this monumental event.
The qualifiers start from as low as $2.75 + $0.20 to enter, so players can potentially win a share of $2,500,000 for an investment of less than three dollars. Players that wish to skip the satellites can also buy-in directly to the Main Event and compete for the chance to win an opulent lifestyle in just one day of exhilarating game play.
The upcoming $2,500,000 Guaranteed tournament is just the latest in a series of record-breaking tournaments. In March, nearly 1,400 players competed for a share of $2 Million in Titan Poker’s $2,000,000 Guaranteed tournament, and in May, Titan Poker gave away $3,600,000 over 11 days in its second European Championship of Online Poker (ECOOP II).
Robin Steele, Manager of Titan Poker, commented by saying: “Titan Poker keeps on upping the ante. In addition to these huge tournaments with unprecedented prize pools, the value of our guaranteed monthly prizes continues to increase. In just a few months, we doubled the amount of our monthly guaranteed prizes from $8,000,000 to $16,000,000 and this number will rise further as we hold more record-breaking tournaments like the $2,500,000 Guaranteed.”
