Introducing Online Slots Tournaments - Part 2

As I said in the first part of this introduction to online slots tournaments, Microgaming casinos offer the biggest choice of slots tournaments, in number and varieties. You will always find at least a dozen scheduled tournaments waiting for you to join - daily, weekly, monthly or other special tournaments. The entry fee can be anything between FREE and $25. In case of certain super tournaments with mega prizes the Buy-In price could be considerably more, like in the currently running Grand Slam of Slots II. Unless you were lucky to sneak in by qualifying in one of a large number of feeder tournaments, you will have to pay $200 to join this 10 day long tournament which is offering a prize pool worth around $400,000 PLUS a whopping Bonus Prize of $2.43 Million in Gold! The prize pools of the regular tournaments range from $50 to $25,000. You can join many of them for free or for as little as $3.

Each tournament has a specific and popular Microgaming slot game, such as Avalon, Break da Bank, Hitman, Lara Croft Tomb Raider, Loaded or Thunderstruck. It is necessary that you have a thorough practice in the tournament game if you want to finish the tournament with some degree of success. Even if you are quite familiar with the game, you should first play a free roll tournament, in order to have some practice in a live tournament situation before joining a tournament where you may have a chance of winning big.

Let us now turn to the rules of the tournament which you will find in the right window of a tournament information. You will find there information about prize pool, entry fee, minimum and maximum number of players allowed, number of rounds, duration of the tournament, starting number of coins allocated, play time of a round, Continue play time, number of Continue coins, Continue cost, Re-Buy play time, number of Re-Buy coins, Re-Buy cost, and some other details.

As soon as the tournament begins, you must try to use up the starting coins as fast as you can, always betting max, and gather coins to maximize your Win Box score! Don't forget that your starting coins will not be counted in your Win Box.

Your goal is to reach the top of the leaderboard. You have the chance to improve your position by making use of the CONTINUE option. You buy the continue coins and continue playing to optimize your Win Box result. Each tournament allows a limited number of Continue play.

You may also use the Re-Buy option if your Win Box amount has not been good enough to be among the best. With Re-Buy you start all over again. You can, of course, re-buy many times, but the leaderboard will show only the best score of all re-buys.
