Slot tournament involves slot players who are playing between themselves to see who can win the most coins¹. Winner of the competition is determined by the person who wins the most number of coins. In the past it used to be held in a brick and mortar casinos but with the advent of online casinos. More flexible time limits is the only rule that exist in the online version of the competition that does not apply to the regular rules when played in the land-based casino.

Slot tournaments are of two types² - freeroll and buy-in. In the former, participants aren't required to pay any fee to participate. In fact, it may even be part of the casino's promotional offers while in the latter, participants pay to take part in the competition. Other types include - scheduled, comped, signup freeroll, survivor, one-shot, PCH, reloader, and extender tournaments. So basically, the way the tournaments run is this - you register to participate in the competition, you will be given the same amount of credits with the other participants, after which, you play at the slot for a specified time. The goal is simply to stack up as much coins as you can more than the others to be declared the winner of the tournament.

Have you participated in any slot tournament whether online or offline before? Did you like it? Generally, let me know your thoughts on this.

I'm not sure when was the last time I entered a slot tournament, but as I recall, there was one in my town when I was too young and entered offline tournaments.
it is absolutely free to enter this tournament but only need to pay for a registration ticket which used to be quite cheap. after that the coins are provided by the slot machine owner and all participants must compete to collect lots of coins in a predetermined time of about 4 hours.
after the allotted time is up, the participant must stand up and get out of the slot machine and the committee counts the coins each participant gets one by one.
but unfortunately back then I wasn't really into Slot games, I didn't know how to last longer to collect coins and I just put all my coins in and spent faster and failed. Cheesy

but lately I've only tried live tournaments at pragmatic providers with a specified minimum bet but it's very difficult to be in first place.

I actually don't really know what slot tournaments mean. But after searching for a bit about slot tournaments, I found a few casinos that @OP might have a look at.

This is the casino:

Code:

https://www.socialtournaments.com/en/schedule/
https://wild.io/tournaments
https://www.betchain.com/tournaments/spin-fest
https://www.ltccasino.com/online-slots-tournament

Perhaps, there are many other casinos. I don't know how the casino is because I just looked it up online and didn't try it. I've only tried something in Stakes in the Challenge section, which offered a race to reach a predetermined highest multiplier.

I am curious.. How do you prove to the tournament host that you have won at a specific slot? I can understand if all participants use one casino ...but how do you do this if you use several different casinos?

What happens if one of the participants are one of the employees of a casino and he or she can manipulate the bet id's?

The casino itself can host such tournament or contest, with this they can easily check the participants since they all have the data for every participants. I’ve seen a lot of contest here, especially on games and round section. Some just have a simply rules and target, all you have to do is to play more and if got lucky, you can hit the required multiplier. There’s also an option of those who earn more will win the contest, so this is not new anymore.

It seems to me that the former will only cost me more as a beginner there.

Why are you OP have you tried something like that too? or have you tried it too? I'm just asking because I was curious about this article you posted here.

As written in the post from OP, some of the tournaments don't require any money from the players for registration or taking part in the tournament, so there is basically no chance of you losing any money in the process since you will simply just join for free and play to win the winning prize, or one of the prizes if there are like 3 for top 3 players, etc.

I think Mr. Magkaisa is referring to the regular wagering race where the participants need to spend his own money to participate. Also, there are some slots tournament where we need to surpass other multiplier, that too needs our own fund to participate.

I personally have never heard of Slot tournaments, but from what I've read here, I think it must be fun competing with other players with the same amount of chances and time. It definitely depends on everyone's luck who will stack up more points, but it's fun though.

I never encounter the kind of tournament @OP stated where the participants are given a certain kind of credit. If there is one I get to know, I would gladly participate in it.

I've heard about slot tournament a couple of times, but I've never participated in any, initially, I didn't even know it's mechanics as explained on this thread.

This seems like a tournament that would be very interesting to participate in, unfortunately, I've not come across any casino hosting such a tournament on this forum, I really hope that casinos come across this thread, and hopefully, they can consider hosting one, this would not only fetch the casino more users and more money, but also would increase the casinos population here, I see this as a win win for any casino that would choose to host it for the gambling community here.

Stop the press! You're telling me slot tournaments exist? I thought slot machines were just for unenlightened souls pushing buttons, praying for a win.

But hot damn! The concept of battling it out with other players for the biggest jackpot is pure gold. It's like the Hunger Games, but for slot players. Will you triumph or suffer a crushing defeat?

But let's be real here, folks. Do we want to go head-to-head with other players and gamble our hard-earned cash? Or do we just wanna kick our feet up, zone out, and indulge in some button-pushing?

Do you even browse any casino especially the one that you are promoting because I can guarantee you that slot tournament is very common competition the only difference was OP example is from physical casino slots while online casino often do tournament for highest wager and highest multiplier tournament.

Many slot providers launch their separate tournaments in addition to the casino very own tournament. Joining on tournament with buy-in fee is useless while there’s a lot of casino offers free to enter tournaments to all their user. Check out game and rounds section because casino usually launch their exclusive slots tournament there for Bitcointalk user.

I never heard of it and have never thought that it could be an exciting way to gamble. What I could remember is when my friends boasted their total coins and were challenging each other. The person with the highest number of total coins will pay for our dinner. I have never encountered any slot tournaments before but I guess it will be a big challenge and motivation for slot lovers to bet more so they could earn more coins to win. It needs a higher bankroll but if the prize would be worth it then it will surely add spice and excitement to players.

I am quite experienced in gambling, but I have never found a competition in slot games, because when talking about gambling in my environment it still sounds sensitive and is considered immoral for gamblers, and certainly I will not find this physically, online even though I have never done it because maybe there are very few casinos with a marketing system like that, I really want to try a slot competition like that and it seems very fun to do because the sensation of competition that we get will be more burning to win more coins so that we will come out as champions.

Never heard about buy-in slot tournament where players are required to pay entry fee in order to participate. As long as I know most slot tournaments are free to join, what players need to do is just to play and compete with other players for the specified rules of the tournament. I read the list of buy-in tournament list, it seems that the tournaments comes from casinos that do not have enough budget to run the tournament so they need to ask for entry fee in order to boost the prize pool. Never seen it before especially in this crypto gambling industry.

Many times in online casino especially in this forum which was offered by duelbits. Participated almost every single week since they started it long time ago and I enjoyed it much. Slot tournament is a good promotion for slot lovers as the prize can be an additional win or at least can be something like lossback if we are losing some money while participating.

Yes, heard of it before, but the slot tournaments are local in our casinos.

And it's like you can go enter and casino will choose you to enter the tournament itself. And everyone will be at all equal, in beginning, let's say given you $100 initially and see how you can get it or win big within certain time. So there is a limit and then it's process of elimination, getting the top 10 and then top 5 and you guys have to fight it out until there is just one man or woman standing.

Never heard of this but indeed this is also a possibility as a form of promotion because of slot tournaments I think this is a little complicated when tournaments don't think about a real strategy because we know there is no strategy that can really be used in a match like this especially slots are matches individuals who just need high luck in this regard so it's a little tricky i guess.

Actually there are several strategies that can be used in slot games to have a greater chance of winning, such as the regular spin buying strategy with several patterns of how to buy.
Indeed, I admit that this strategy does not guarantee that gamblers can win in slot games or when participating in tournaments, but at least it can help gamblers a little.
You say slots require high luck that is true but if gamblers only rely on luck then they will only lose even more of their money.
Tournaments can be said to be difficult because they have a relatively high minimum bet and require large capital so that not all gamblers can survive the tournament.

You mean in the past ( or in brick and mortar casinos) theres other rules in limiting the player other than time? Rather curious what those are since the very basic idea I have of it is highest number of coins in x amount of time. There might be additional rules to getting coins, like only this pattern or that pattern, but the time rule wouldn't really get removed since it's a limiter of sorts.

Or they can use x amount of tries, which I just thought of right now.

Never heard of it in general though. Kinda interesting since compared to poker and similar games, I'd consider this to fully be about luck.

It is one competition I look forward to participating in because of it's fair rules and other nice things I have heard about it. Between participating online or at a land-based Casino, I would choose a land-based casino because I want to socialize with other slot lovers too. It will make it more fun.

^I don't know how reliable the slot casino is land-based because there is no way to verify the bet, it could be the machine probably manipulated by the owner or the operator so there is no call, provably fair. Not like in online, you can verify the RNG in a slot game which no doubt will be generated without manipulation. Slot games are usually on against house edge so it is rare to hear and compete on it, but if it is, that is good to join and it could be a wager competition.

Not ringing the bell but does it something that has leaderboards or rankings?

Not a fan of this leaderboard or ranking stuff especially competing with each other and we are talking about slots. The reason is, there are surely lots of so-called big rollers that will participate in that tournament and that's already a disadvantage for common gamblers.

The key to winning on these leaderboards is being consistent and that means being more active alongside a large bankroll. I'm,not capable on that lol.

That is a fun concept if I do say so myself coz there's nothing that's really stopping anyone from ever joining the game, coz slots in itself is a game that even newbies could get behind in due to the simplistic nature of the game, plus the fact that for the most part you can just walk in the casino, register and probably pay for some, and then compete. Plus it's fair since you guys are practically betting on your luck and not on any latent skill so no hustler or pro slot guy will ever come up to trash the whole competition.

Registration fees are fine by me because hey, you're playing with credits in place already so think of it as you gambling at the same time only now more competitively, but free registrations are of course always welcome by me.

I think I had heard about these kind of tournaments before when I got interested in the history of Las Vegas and the casino culture over there, but I did not pay much attention to them, since there are not many casinos around here where I live and the few I have stepped in were not holding any of those events when I walked around them, as far as I can recall.

I did not know there were more of one sort of those tournaments, either.
The more one learns, the better, I guess.

I would like to participate in one, if the entry price is reasonable and if it is held in a brick and mortar casino.
