How to play
Tournament Lobby
On the download lobby, click on the "Slots" section, followed by the Slots Tournament icon to view the Tournament Lobby.
Select the tournament of your choice to view the Game and Buy-in information.
Click Prize details to see the payout for the tournament.
Click 'Join Now' to buy-in and register.
Buy-in has a contribution to the Prize Pool and may have a fee taken by the casino. Ex: Buy-in $5 + $0.50 to play, with $5 going into the prize pool and $0.50 participation fee for the tournament.
Cash Tournaments (Real Mode) and Chips Tournaments (Play Mode):
In Cash Tournaments (Real Mode), you play with your money. You can bring the amount you want, up to your account balance. You can re-buy to the tournament (bring more money from your available balance to the tournament) multiple times until the tournament ends.
Each spin is played with real money and you get to keep any winnings you make in the game spins. You have the option to choose the stake and select the number of lines to play. When playing tournaments with cash, players earn (loyalty points) as normal on slots. These loyalty points do not count towards the ranking on a tournament.
In Chips Tournaments (Play Mode), you play with Tournament Chips. You do not keep the winnings made in the game spins, but only receive the winnings of the tournament prize pool. The only cost to you is the buy-in to the tournament.
At the start of the Tournament you receive 100,000 tournament chips. You cannot re-buy Tournament Chips. No extra chips will be awarded to you if all are exhausted. Tournament Chips (in Play mode) are only valid for the one tournament they have been given for and cannot be transferred to other tournaments or to non-tournament games. In this type of tournaments, you can only increase/decrease the number of pay lines.
For play-money players, tournament prizes will be credited once the account is converted to real money, by the player making a real-money deposit.
Tournaments registration
All tournaments start at their scheduled time if the minimum number of players required have registered. If not enough players have registered to a tournament, the tournament will be cancelled and the buy-in, including any participation fees will be refunded. A tournament starts when countdown timer reaches 00:00 and ends when the tournament end countdown timer reaches 00:00.
You can be registered to and play in several tournaments at the same time. You can un-register from a tournament up until 5 seconds before a tournament starts, in which case, the buy-in will be refunded.
Tournament Points and Leader board
You rank on the tournament board by earning tournament points. These points are based on your winnings in the tournament slots. Some tournaments have a Points Multiplier enabled. Whenever the Points' Multiplier is available in a tournament, Tournament points earned will be multiplied by a random multiplier between 1 and 10.
A regular line/substitute win earns the same number of points as the pay table line win multiplier X Points Multiplier.
A scatter win earns you points equal to pay table multiplier x the total lines played X the Point Multiplier.
Tournament points from the last spin are shown on the tournament board.
As you earn Tournament points, your total Tournament points and rank is shown in the tournament board.
The higher your win on the slot game, the more points you earn. These are multiplied by the Tournament Points Multiplier, and the bigger your potential total tournament points.
For example: A player spins on a slot game in a tournament and has two line wins and a scatter win.
- Line 4 wins, giving 10 times the line bet.
- Line 18 wins giving 25 times the line bet.
- The player is playing 20 lines.
- There is a scatter win giving 2 times the total bet.
- The Tournament Points Multiplier is showing 5.
- The player wins a total of (10+25+(2*20))*5 = 375 tournament points
If there is more than one player on a same position, the cash will be split equally between all relevant winners; for example, if two players tie for first place, the first and second place prizes will be added together and split equally
Ex: If rank 1 is paid 50% and rank 2 paid 30%, but both players have the same rank, the prize pool is paid as (50%+30%)/2 tied winners = 40%. This prize pool will be distributed between the 2 players.
Tournament points are only valid for the one tournament they are earned on and cannot be transferred to other tournaments. Tournament points hold no monetary value and cannot be used in the loyalty store.
Payout
Slots tournaments payout
The winning ranks get a share of the prize pool payout of the tournament, based on their rank in the leader board and the rank payout structure for the tournament.
Prize Pool Payout
The Tournament jackpot game is played as the last game in every tournament. This game determines what portion of the prize pool will be given away for this tournament. The prize pool payout chances are listed in the Prize info table.
Any prize pool remaining will be carried forward to the next tournament with in the tournament chain.
For Cash tournaments (Real mode), if you are in a free spins round before the tournament ends, the jackpot round begins to determine the tournament prize pool payout. When the jackpot round ends, your free spins resume (the game was paused whilst the jackpot round was unrolling).
The jackpot round is a Jackpot wheel spinning automatically once without your intervention. The position where the wheel stops determines the Jackpot pool paid to the ranked players. The unpaid prize pool is carried forward to the tournament in the tournament chain.
If a tournament is a single tournament (not part of a tournament chain) or if it is the last tournament in a tournament chain (Grand tournament) it will give away a guaranteed 100% of the jackpot pool.
The Jackpot Wheel consists of 20 segments; each segment corresponds to a 5% chance. Each percentage of chance is assigned a color. Each 5% of the chance of happening is assigned a segment of the wheel at random.
Rank Payout
Once the jackpot game has run, the prizes will be distributed according to its outcome and according to the rank payout.
Examples
Example if the tournament is part of a chain of tournaments (and is not the last of the chain):
Two ranked players (ranks 1, 2 with 70%, 30% shares respectively).
Total Jackpot Pool is $3.
Jackpot Wheel stops at green color (35% share of the prize pool will be paid out in this tournament).
Jackpot Pool to be paid out is 35% of $3 = $1.05. The remaining $1.95 is added to the next tournament's Jackpot Pool.
The two ranked players get paid as follow.
Rank 1 = 70% of $1.05 = $0.73
Rank 2 = 30% of $1.05 = $0.31
Please note that payout will be rounded down to the second decimal.
Example if the tournament is a single tournament or the last of a chain of tournaments:
Two ranked players (ranks 1, 2 with 70%, 30% shares respectively).
Total Jackpot Pool is $10. All the segments pay out 100%.
Jackpot Wheel stops at red color (100% share of the prize pool will be paid out in this tournament).
Jackpot Pool to be paid out is 100% of $10 = $10. The two ranked players get paid as follow.
Rank 1 = 70% of $10 = $7
Rank 2 = 30% of $10 = $3
Participating Games
Tournaments are offered only on the below games. Please click on the required game to see the game rules.
- The minimum and maximum bets for the slot games in tournaments are the same as in regular non-tournament mode.
- Each game's specific rules apply, for example if a game allows re-trigger free spins then spins can be re triggered.
- The games in the slots tournaments have exactly the same mechanics and payouts as when you play these games outside of a tournament.
- Game play will only count towards a tournament when you are playing the game from the tournament lobby.
For example, if you have registered for a tournament on City of Gold and start playing the game from your tournament lobby, you are playing towards the tournament. However if after registering you go to open City of Gold directly from the slots section of the lobby, your game play will not earn you tournament points.
