First of all I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year, I hope have fully recovered from the Christmas excesses. Now it is time to look ahead to 2009 with resolutions for the new year.

As many people at this time of year are getting fit and improving their diet and taking more exercise, we have updated the Slotsjam main page with some healthy eating and fitness related slots!

December 2008 was a busy month for new slots and we witnessed a first; My Slot from Microgaming, the world's first customizable slot. I'm sure loads of you have had fun pimping My Slot already. You can upload photo's, change the background color and make it as individual as you are, so whether you give it the bling treatment or have more conservative tastes, this is truly unique.

Will other rival software providers top this? Well, we will just have to wait and see.

If you have seen our Slotsjam home page and read our slots blog, you will know that voting is now underway for our Slotsjam 2008 Awards.

On top of an already excellent value offer of 100% free up to $777 if you sign up and join VIP Slots casino through a link on Slotsjam you will receive additional benefits:

10,000 VIP Rewards points, which are redeemable for cash, bonuses and merchandise.

Entry into their $100,000 end of month slot tournament.

VIP Slots Casino to claim bonus or read our VIP Slots Casino Review for more information. VIP Slots casino welcomes all US players, so it is definitely worth a visit for all of you States-side slots players.

Have you noticed the new banner - pictured above - on the main page of Slots Jam? Well, I would like to invite you to click on this banner because your opinions matter to us! And they matter even more to the casinos. Remember, the votes come from you - the players, and not from us.

Yes, it is that time of year again, the Slots Jam Awards. We want to know which slots rocked your world in 2008, so instead of our usual New Slots Games section, I am discussing the awards in this newsletter.

So please contact me (Andy) at I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about any or all of the categories. What casino has run the best tournaments? Which casino has the best bonuses and promotions? Which casino has the best slots? What was the best slot of 2008? Which slot has the best bonus game?

These are the sort of things that I would like you to comment on.

So please visit our Slots Voting page now and check out the categories and email me your opinions, Even if you think of a category that you think we have missed, just let me know what it is and why. Also, you can take a trip down memory lane and remind yourself who the winners were in 2007 Slots Jam Awards.

Well that's a laptop of course! What else did you think I was talking about?

At Belle Rock casino's this month between Jan 09th and Jan 20th, you can compete in their daily MP3 tournament - it's free!

Players can win a 1GB shuffle player with $0 entry. And further more the top 150 get free entry into the semi final.

Players in the Belle Rock MP3 Tournament Semi Final could win a branded touch screen mp3 player $5 entry with a continue play of $2. The top 200 will receive free entry into the final

The Top Prize- an aluminium top of the range laptop. Entry is $5 with a continue play of $2. 9 runners up will receive a share of $250

These slots tournaments are running from Jan 09th right the way through to Jan 20th. You can play at River Belle, Jackpot City and Lucky Nugget Casino.

And while Belle Rock casinos unfortunately will not accept US players, players from UK, Canada, Australia and most of the rest of the world are accepted, so have fun, and if you are taking part and would like to tell us about this in our slots forum, that would be great, as we always welcome your feedback.

So goodbye for now, wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2009.

Happy New Year!
