What are slot tournaments?

Slot tournaments are competitions in which all participants play the same slot and the best ones win cash, bonuses and/or other rewards. They differ in terms of the duration so that one may last 20 minutes while another takes as long as a month.

How much money do I need to have to play in a slot tournament?

Some tournaments are Freerolls which means there’s no entry fee. Others feature a relatively small buy-in. Certain competitions give each participant the same number of free credits to play with so there’s no need to spend any cash.

Who can participate in slot tournaments?

The first prerequisite and one that’s common to all online casinos is that you’re a registered player. Having opened an account and logged in, you’ll see the list of tournaments that are in progress as well as those which are yet to begin and can choose which one to join.

How do I collect points in an online slot tournament?

Mechanisms may differ though participants are most frequently rewarded based on the number of coins won while playing in the tournament. The more coins, the higher the position on the leaderboard and the better your chances of winning one of the prizes.

Do I get to keep what I win while playing a game in a slot tournament?

Sometimes you do. That won’t be the case with a Freeroll but some online operators allow players to keep what they win in addition to the prize for claiming the first or one of the top few positions on the leaderboard.

Is there a strategy I can use to win a slot tournament?

Luck plays the biggest role and there’s not a lot you can do to better your chances. It’s advisable to familiarize with rules of the game you’re about to play before entering the tournament and bet max whenever that happens to be a prerequisite for triggering lucrative special features.

Is speed important in a slot tournament?

Speed and timing are important, especially in competitions which last 15 minutes or so. The goal is to use as many (or rather all) of the credits you have available in the allocated amount of time, so you’ll need to be fast.

 

Vegas Slot Tournaments:

In a land-based casino, the slot tournaments are a very big draw for players. Quite often, they are free and the prizes can be significant. In addition, many casinos will offer the entrants big incentives to come to their casinos, like fee accommodation, free meals, show tickets and drinks whilst they stay to play in the competition.

Something that might surprise people, is that most casinos actually lose money on their slot tournaments. The casinos use them as marketing, to make people more aware of their brands and to encourage people to come back to their casino.

A lot of players love tournaments online, as they can give the feel of a party, a social event in your own home.

As far as games go, you might expect to see the older slots featuring in tournaments. So, if it's a 3 reel slots tournament, you could see old favorites, like Double Diamond and Wheel of Fortune, or the classic red white and blue slots game.

If you were playing a video slots tournament, then you might expect to be playing classics like Cleopatra slots, or Wolf Run, or even an old favorite like Lobstermania.

 

Online Slot Tournaments:

Tournament Slots offer a different playing experience from regular slots play. With most tournaments, all players pay an entry fee that goes into a prize pool to be divided between the winners and also a fee to the casino for taking part, which is basically the same as when you would enter a poker tournament online.

There are two main types of tournaments, 'Scheduled' and 'Sit and Go'. Each offers a slightly different playing experience.

 

Scheduled Tournaments

For a scheduled slot tournament you first register and then play within a set period of time limit. If you want to get straight into the action then this is a good choice for you. Once the deadline for entering is finished and all players have done their time, the player with the most credits (or points) wins the tournament. There are also usually plenty of runners up prizes that can also win significant prizes

 

Sit and Go Tournaments

Unlike the scheduled slot tourneys, the Sit n Go slot tourneys start when a pre-determined number of players have registered. With a Sit and Go slot tournament, the player with the most credits at the end of a specified time period (or number of spins) wins the prize

As the power of computers and casino software becomes greater, it would be easy to imagine a tournament where you can see the faces of all the other players.

Perhaps one day you will be able to walk around the casino in a virtual word, meeting and talking to other players, even going for a virtual drink together afterwards.
