With the dark days (and darker nights) drawing in summer vacations seem an eternity away although many of us are still counting the cost financially whilst dreaming of our next getaway to some exotic paradise, perhaps a lush island or a heavy-on-the-vibe party place like Jamaica.

Whatever your choice of destination whether it is long haul or not, paying for travel is not easy, so as the nights lengthen why not take advantage of them, cosy up and check out one of the many top quality casinos available, many of which hold competitions with vacations as prizes.

Online gaming via casinos and dedicated bingo sites like Swanky Bingo continue to grow in popularity and as you get used to the site it is only natural that you check out what is on offer.  Sites like Swanky Bingo offer their players a safe and secure environment in which to enjoy their favourite variation of bingo whilst catching up on all of the news and gossip with their friends.  The social side of bingo is what draws people through the virtual doors and as winter approaches more and more are staying at home looking for some entertainment via the web. 

You will usually find that dedicated bingo sites also offer a good selection of instant games to play in-between bingo games as well as slots being available if a change of scenery is wanted.

Slots tournaments are a great way of challenging yourself against other players just like bingo, and many of these tournaments have a great prize pool that you can share in, some of the top prizes are luxury vacations, cruises, event invitations and casino-based prizes like credits or Free Spins.  Tournaments allow you to know what you are playing for so if you are going after your next vacations then you can check out which online casinos are offering the most tempting prizes.

There are a few rules to know before you enter any tournament, below is a brief overview and you can obviously read all the rules and regulations of the one you choose more thoroughly.

• All players use a number of coins and have a time limit, the more you win the higher your position will be on the virtual leaderboard.  When and if you run out of either time or money or both you will be given the option to pay to stay in and continue to improve your standing on the leaderboard.  At the end of the tournament the players who have the best positions on the leaderboard will take a share of the prize pool.
• A tournament can be Open-so you can register and begin to play, In Play-the tournament is being played but will still support new players, Scheduled-the tournament has not yet started, and Complete-the tournament has finished.
• You can find and view tournament schedules by clicking on the Games View or similar tab once you have logged into your casino, then all you need to do is hit the tournament tab to bring up the menu which will contain all the available tournaments the site had to offer.
• Some tournaments also have an accumulator prize pool which means that the more people that play the great is the prize pot and this usually runs alongside the fixed prize pool of holiday destinations and other prizes.
• Some tournaments are free, but the bigger and better prizes like luxury vacations are usually paid for and also there is less competition as many people play the free tournaments.

Playing tournaments can be great fun if you make sure that you keep to your budget and someone has to win those big prizes, you never know it may be your turn to do just that !
