This past Tuesday Online Vegas players were able to begin playing in the much anticipated $2009 Presidential Inauguration Guaranteed Free roll. Online Vegas was surprised at the turnout so early in the week and the tournament will continue to run until tomorrow.

Over 11,000 players entered the tournament as of Monday and the top 100 players at the end will win a cash prize. The first place winner will take home over $500. Players are given a $150 balance in their account when they begin play. The first time entry into the tournament is free but any entries after that cost ninety nine cents.

Re-buys will give players $40 to play with instead of the beginning $150. Online Vegas has no limit on how many times a player can enter the tournament. Online Vegas created the tournament to celebrate what many are hoping will be a step to the legalization of online gambling in the United States.

One online player commented: "This tournament is great. It really symbolizes what we, as Americans, are experiencing. It is a joyful occasion in our history and being able to spend some time relaxing, playing an online slots tournament is a great way to enjoy today's festivities."
