In recent years more and more online casinos have started to offer tournaments which is great to see.

Slot tournaments allow you to play slots in a tournament format where you compete against other players to win prizes. These prizes can be huge as was seen in the Grand Slam of Slots where one lucky player scooped the top prize of $1,000,000.

How Slot Tournaments Work

To enter a slot tournaments you generally have to make a buy-in. The buy-ins of all players are then combined to form the prize pool. You then get a set amount of times or spins and you play until either the time or spins run out. The player with the highest credit score during the tournament then wins the first prize. It is common for there to be prizes for quite a few positions so even if you don't win the top prize you can still win something.

Types of Tournaments

There are a variety of different slot tournament formats. Each type has it's pros and cons and the most common variations are as follows;

• Free Rolls
  As the name suggests these tournaments are free to enter. Freerolls offer a great way to play for free and still stand the chance at winning real money.
   
• Buy-In Tournaments

• Sit and Go
  These tournaments are generally held with a small amount of players and start as soon as the final player registers.

Advantages of Slot Tournaments

Due to the fact that you are competing against other players you have a much better chance of winning when playing a slot tournament. For example if there are 100 players in a tournament and there are prizes for the first 10 players you have a 1 in 10 chance of winning at least a prize. These are better odds than playing slots in a standard format.
