Slot Tournaments

One of the biggest things to happen to online slots in years, slot tournaments are a brand new way of injecting pace, action and value into your slot play. Sometimes called multiplayer slots, slot tournaments combine regular online slot action from your favourite online slot games and a multiplayer leader board.

 

Players in slot tournaments don’t compete against the slot machines but against other players. Nor do players keep the winnings from the slots but rather they take a cut from a prizepot made up of player buy-ins or from a fixed amount denoted by the online casino.

 

Thrilling, edgy and increasingly popular, slot tournaments are a great way of adding something extra to your casino entertainment.

Slot Tournaments: How they work

Slot tournaments are easy to play and enjoy. On loading the casino you’ll be faced with choosing the online slot and tournament type you want to play and buying into and registering for it. Here’s some information on how that works.

On registering for a slot tournament you’ll be invited to buy-in into it for a certain fee. Generally the higher the fee the bigger the jackpot, but the size of the prize pool also stems from the number of players in the slot tournament, where their buy-ins make for more liquidity and bigger payouts. Some slot tournaments, however, have guaranteed prizepools and only the re-buys/add on’s go towards the pot.

The biggest slice of the prizepot goes to the player that finishes first, but there are lesser prizes for those finishing in 2nd and 3rd, too. The number of positions that payout can vary though and is dependent on the number of players involved in the slot tournament, but all payouts are proportional to the amount in the pot after the slot tournament window closes.

Once a player has registered with a tournament they will face-off against the rest of the casino’s slot tournament’s players. All players start with the same number of starting coins and time limit. The online slot loads and is operated as normal, but players will notice a small leaderboard table at the bottom of the slot interface with your position relative to the other players in the tournament. The more coins you win from the reels the higher your position on the board. This continues until the player either 1 runs out of coins or 2 time. At that point the winners are determined.

Most slot tournaments will allow players to re-buy. Some permit an unlimimted number of rebuys within a period of time, while some allow just a certain number. These, if employed strategically, can make the difference between walking away with a huge slice of the prizepot or nothing at all. A small investment of a rebuy can mean you’ll be able to spin your way to extra coin wins, which can give you that extra boost into the payout positions – plus we all know that online slots are capable of delivering big wins at any time.

Slot Tournaments – Our Hints and Tips

Play the freeroll slot tournaments initially. Most casinos (like 32Red) offer freerolls tournaments which will allow you to experience them absolutely free. However, must players are savvy enough to know that a re-buy puts them in a great position to win the top prize, which brings us nicely our hint/tip.

To be a frequent slot tournaments winner you WILL need to re-buy. The extra wins from re-buying will help you to payouts but the secret is knowing when you’re too far behind the pack to make re-buying justifiable. It’s entirely your call and you’ll know after a few slot tournaments when you should and when you shouldn’t. This is why we recommend starting with the freeroll slot tournaments.
