Multiplayer Online Slots Tournaments

Slots tournaments are the latest development at online casinos with several now offering them both freeroll and play money versions. Slot tournaments have been offered by land based casinos for some time but have only recently made the leap to online casinos, partly spurred by the popularity of poker tournaments and freerolls. Microgaming is leading the way and casinos such as River Belle that use their software are now offering multi player slots tournaments including freerolls and sit n go tournaments.

The tournaments work by paying a fixed fee to enter (or nothing if it's a freeroll) and then you have a fixed amount of time to play a particular slot. When the time is up the players who have made the most money in the time available win a percentage of the prize pool. This works very much like a poker tournament in that the number of entrants determines how many places are paid. For example; at River Belle they offer 5 player sit & go tournaments on their Thunderstruck and Tomb Raider slots, where the top two finishers win a prize.

Slots tournaments are a great addition to the games at online casinos and help to give it a more realistic feel as you are playing against other players. They are also great value for you money as you get to play for a certain amount of time for a fixed entrance fee.
