How do slot tournaments work

[watchdogazza]

Hi all,
have not found much info on how the format is other than the prizes. Can someone please explain to me . Thanks in advance

[rockycatt]

it's the same as a race ' however it might pay largest [finishing balances] ,largest peak balance ], and it might even pay 321 verses 123 in terms of best winners spot in that particular tournament
also time to play and actual turny time that it runs will be diferent at times
so read the over view of each one

PS. a lot of them have re buys also

hi, thanks for the reply.
The bit I'm not sure about is, so either it's free to enter or it will cost a buy in amt, correct?? . Everyone gets the same balance to start in a certain time frame ? then we wager as we like trying to accumulate the largest wins overall to win the tournament? or keep playing ?...and then the rebuys...ke?? how do they work.....cheers for the help

Cant give you a definite answer unless you tell us the software platform where you intend to join the tourneys.

Tournaments are offered at many casinos, and not all run the same. Maybe if you told us which tournament at which casino we could be more helpful.

Didn't really know they were a rather complex series of events to be involved in. Had no idea they involved the type of hardware/software you ran, as to, if you could be able to enter and play.
And as I am quite computer illiterate I don't really have a clue to the answers to your questions. So for now I will have to be content with at least being a little more knowlegelable for my posting and will give them a miss for the time being....lol..
Thanks everyone for your help

Ps... it's a pretty basic laptop with no added extras..casinos run on game launcher that stops working every now and then.. haha!..Thanks again

When the other posters mentioned "software" they were referring to the casino software, not your computer. So for example a lot of the time I play at highnoon casino. Highnoon casino runs its casino with RTG (real time gaming) software.

So if you could tell them what casino you play at they will be able to better answer your question.

I hate technology, I just love bright lights and ka-chings....lmao..

Again, didn't realize there even was a difference from casino to casino. Knew to separate rtg from micro but I am still a novice with tournys after so many years on and off with online gaming. Never taken an interest in tourneys before . It's just that gowild has a welcome package that gets you an invite to some tournaments ( yet to be annouced) I believe, and thought I would make myself a bit more knowledgable before the event.
What I would like to know are they relitively cheap to become involved in? might give it a shot one day..

dont get involved
still cant understand they got accredited. but then again I have a history with them.. and its a personal opinion.
anyhow I wouldn't play their freerolls, its always the same people who win them at this particular brand. First it was one user, suddenly he dissapeared, like he doesn't play them anymore at all. And now it's a couple of other usernames always ranking 1st/2nd.
They have so many coins left, if you try and estimate the amount of coins they put in its insane, allot more than they have won, most of the time.
In time I will publish my own investigation of this, as im working on it (lol hope they dont ban me now, would have to ask others to make screenshots for me).

Oh and to add to some info on mg tournaments, you can buy continue and rebuy options.
rebuy is like starting all over. For when you had a very bad first try. So you probably dont need them.
Continue's is to add to your score, you buy extra time with coins. So these are important.

Most of the slots you can just use autoplay. Except for tomb raider, it best to spin manually with this one.

hey thanks, that surely is a great help with a further explanation on how they work...I will take it on board and be ready if I ever take the plunge, but am favouring your advice as not to so far the more I understand.. ..lol..still only an interest no where near a threat at all...lol
