2023 Online Casino Tournaments

Why do online casinos organize tournaments?

Online casinos organize tournaments for players to encourage them to bet more often and higher. The main incentive for the participants themselves is, of course, the desire to get an additional prize, in addition to winning in the slot itself. For this reason, casinos do everything they can to make the prize pool attractive enough that none of the players can resist the temptation to fight for the trophy.

To attract as many participants as possible to competitions, casinos organize tournaments that suit the budgets of different players – not necessarily those who spend the most. Some of the tournaments are suitable for high-stakes players, while others offer a chance to other players, regardless of their wallet. Some of the tournaments are organized exclusively for a closed group of players – they may include participants of loyalty programs and VIP clubs. The prizes in these kinds of competitions are usually very high.

What are the types of casino tournaments?

Tournaments in Polish online casinos can be divided into two types – tournaments in which the amount of money spent counts, and tournaments in which only the winnings count.

• In the first case, where only the amount spent on the game counts, players collect points for each bet placed on the game. This means that the more they spend on the game, the more points they get and the higher they rank in the leaderboard. Winning or losing the game is irrelevant – only the player’s financial contribution counts. These kinds of tournaments are mainly for high roller players or VIP players.
• In the second case, what matters most is the value of the win, not the amount of the stake. Of course, there may be minimum wager requirements, but they are very low. Points are also counted in a very specific way in these kinds of tournaments – the ratio of bet to win is taken into account here. If a player manages to hit a high paying symbol combination after placing a low bet, he will score significantly more points on the leaderboard than the player who made the high bet but found a hand of low paying symbols. In addition, these types of tournaments may also have qualifying rounds that must be completed in order to start playing in the main tournament.

There is another type of tournament that also counts the amount of the winnings, but in this case, the game is played with special chips awarded by the casino. Their number is limited, so it is only the players’ game strategy that determines what result they will be able to achieve. Importantly, by taking part in these tournaments, players do not receive a win for each spin – even if they manage to hit a huge win, it will not be paid out. In this case, they will only receive a prize if they take a premium place on the leaderboard.

Casino tournaments: what can you win?

The prizes in casino tournaments can be as varied as the imaginations of the organizers themselves. The most popular winnings are cash that can be withdrawn with no wagering requirements and free spins that can be used further in the casino and win more prizes. There are also material prizes – the latest gadgets, cars, tickets to exclusive events.

How to win in casino tournaments?

While in the case of table games casino tournaments, players can improve their score based on their experience and skill, slots tournaments only require a lot of luck as the outcome of each spin will always be random. Even so, there is little help to your happiness by following the steps below:

• spin the reels as quickly as possible – if the slot has the ability to run autoplay or turbo mode, which significantly speeds up spinning, do not hesitate to use them. The more rounds you play in a short time, the better your chances of winning.
• place the maximum bets – use the “Max bet” mode or set the maximum bet possible. In case of a win, your advantage over other players will increase significantly, because the higher the profit, the higher your place in the ranking will be.
• play on all paylines – if in the slot machine you can choose the number of active paylines, choose all of them without hesitation. This will increase your potential winnings in case any winning combination is formed on any of them.
• do not focus on small wins – try to avoid losing concentration and expect only high wins, because they will direct you on the path to victory.
