Online Vegas Casino is preparing to launch one of the biggest online tournaments of the season. The week-long $250,000 Countdown to Christmas Freeroll will kick off tomorrow and as its name implies, it will run right up until 12am Christmas day.

The $250,000 prize pool will be disbursed partly in casino credits and partly in loyalty points. The top 100 players on the leader board will share $90,250 worth of casino credits and the remaining $159,750 of the prize pool will be given out as loyalty points to remaining finishers. The first place finisher will take home a massive $40,000 in casino credits and the runner up will receive a generous $13,000 in casino credits. More than 4,000 players will get a share of the loyalty points so practically every player will walk away with some sort of Christmas gift.

The tournament is free to enter but players will start with only $50 worth of chips. Players have the option to rebuy into the event for $12.99 and those who do will be given an additional $350 worth of chips to play with. While some players may luck out and work their way to the top of the board with only $50 worth of chips, it's safe to say that most of the top 100 will be players who rebuy into the event.

The Winter Wonderland slots game will host the event. It offers beautiful and festive graphics that set the perfect tone for the holidays and there is plenty of money to be won with its wide array of special features. The snowman serves as the wild symbol which offers the highest fixed jackpot of 4,000 coins, the snowflake serves as the scatter symbol which offers a scatter payout of 250 times the total bet, the snowflake also triggers the free spins round which offers 15 free spins at triple the payout, and the ski jumper offers random bonus prizes.

Registration for the tournament is already open and more than 1,000 players have already opt-in. The tournament schedule can be viewed in the casino lobby once the free software is downloaded. Get in early and don't miss a section of the action because competition is sure to be fierce. Visit Online Vegas Casino today and get ready to participate in one of the most anticipated freerolls of the season!
