Online Slots Tournaments

In the last few years many online casinos have started offering slots tournaments to players.  Slots tournaments tend to be a great hit among players because they allow you to “stretch” your bankroll further and play against other players to win huge prizes.

The size, buy-in and schedule of slots tournaments vary throughout the week, although not all online casinos will offer these type of games.  The best casino to play slots tournaments at is SuperSlots.com.  SuperSlots.com runs Slots Tournaments every day throughout the week, with buy-ins ranging from $3 up to $10 and guaranteed prizes worth up to $50,000 (or the size of the pot).

Freeroll slots tournaments can also be played at Super Slots a few times each week which have prizes worth $500.  Freerolls slots are just like regular slots tournaments however they are free to enter.  This makes them far more attractive then regular slots games since you can win big prizes from nothing.  All you need to do to play freeroll slots tournaments is look out for the  Free “Double Gold”, “Monte Mountain”, “Birds of Paradise” and “Rocking Robin” slots tournaments in the tournament slots lobby and register for them.

How do Slots Tournaments Work?

A slots tournament is a game in which players pit their heads against each other on “connected” slot machines in order to win the big tournament prize.  Once you buy-in to a tournament, you’ll be given a set amount of credits (e.g. 1,000 coins).  At the end of the tournament, which could last anything from 10 minutes up to an hour, the player that has the most chips will win.

Many players prefer slots tournaments to regular progressive jackpot games because once you buy-in to the tournament you are competing against the other players as opposed to the house.  This removes the house edge in the game and gives you a much better chance of winning.  For example, if it’s a $50,000 cash prize and there’s 200 entrants than it means that you have a 1/200 chance of winning rather than the astronomical odds of winning a $1 million jackpot.

The size and payout structure of a tournament depends on the online casino itself.  Tournament prizes can range from the pot itself (which is generated from the money that players buy into the tournament) or a guaranteed cash prize.  The payoff structure might pay the top 5 players in the tournament at the end of the game or it might only pay the winner.  You’ll need to check the official rules of the slots tournament in order to find this out.

Slots Tournament Strategy

The aim for winning a slots tournament is the same for any other type of video poker or blackjack tournament.  You basically want to wager the maximum number of coins and execute as many spins as possible during the tournament.  This gives you a better chance of winning a bigger slots payout.  If you win a big payout in one of your first few spins than you could just stop playing since this could limit how many credits you lose.  Personally I recommend constantly checking the tournament leader board in order to where you stand, since if you’re far behind the leader than you’ll need to play more spins in order win more coins and catch up.
