A GUIDE TO SLOT MACHINE TOURNAMENTS

How Slots Tournaments Work

All tournaments start with a buy-in, meaning that you pay an entry fee to join the tournament and have a chance of winning. Some tournaments are free, while others are comped tournaments, which means the casino pays the buy-in on your behalf.

The prize pool determines both number of players and the cost of buy-ins.

There are two main types of tournaments – sit and go tournaments and scheduled tournaments.

In the former, there is a predetermined number of players. The tournament starts when all the players have paid their buy-in. The goal is to finish up high on the leader board by winning the most credits or casino chips at the end of a set time-frame, or by having the highest return on spins.

On the other hand, scheduled tournaments start at a scheduled time, regardless of the number of players. Most of the time, in both cases, players receive a set amount of credits to play with, and after that, the players have a set amount of time to sit at the slot machine and play.

For that reason, players usually seize on the strategy of rapidly hitting the spin button to get the maximum amount of spins in the set period.

The winner is the player who accumulates the highest amount of credits. It’s important to know that your payout will not be the credits you earned during the allotted time, but is dependent on the tournament payout schedule.
