What are online slots tournaments?

Online slots tournaments are special events hosted by online casinos like PlayLive Casino where you put your online slots play skills to the test against other players. You have a limited amount of time, in this case 5 minutes, to get as many points as possible.

At the end of the tournament, which normally runs through the day, the prize pool is split among the top performers on the leaderboard.

How do you play at an online slots tournament?

There are a number of different types of online slots tournaments that you can play in at various online casinos. PlayLive Casino offers a Leaderboard Tournament.

A Leaderboard Tournament involves paying a fee to enter (although PlayLive Casino will be offering free entry tournaments and coupon redemption tournaments in the near future) and then playing a pre-selected online slots game as fast as possible to earn as many points as possible in a certain time. The top points scorers go onto a leaderboard with the top players splitting the prize pool.

The PlayLive casino online slots tournament works as follows:

1. Sign up for the tournament.
2. Pay your entrance fee (this fee from all the players goes into the prize pool – the more players, the bigger the pool).
3. Go to the online slots game that is identified for the tournament (this changes on a regular basis so you will get to play on a whole range of different online slots games if you play the tournaments regularly).
4. Choose your betting amount (you are betting with your own money so bet as you would normally do in a slots game).
5. Hit the turbo spin button as many times as possible in 5 minutes. This is important – you only have 5 minutes to get your points so the faster you get the reels to spin and stop, the more chances you have to get the points.
6. Get onto that leaderboard.
7. You can re-buy and play as many times as you want but only your top score goes onto the leaderboard.

How does the points system work at PlayLive online slots tournaments?

Points are awarded based on how much you win per spin. For every R1 you win you get 1 point. For example, you spin at R1 and you win R5 – you get 5 points. Another example would be you win R5000 you get 5000 points toward your total. This can change depending on the tournament so always keep an eye on the rules.

These points are added up over the 5 minutes that the tournament round lasts. The total of your points over the 5 minutes is your final total (until the next round).

Remember, it’s your top points score that is put onto the leaderboard so if you get 100 points in one round, 200 points in the next round and 150 points in the round after that, your top score of 200 points is what goes on the leaderboard.

This is also why it’s so important that you get those reels spinning as fast as possible. Th sooner you get to spin again, the more points you could earn.

Pro tip: only press ‘Start Tournament’ once your reels are already spinning! Every second counts.

Do I play with my own money?

Yes. Your entry fee goes into the prize pool. While you are playing, you are playing as you normally would with your own real money (except hopefully much faster while in tournament mode).

This means that you win or lose just as you would in any online slots game. Any money you do win goes into your account as per usual.

The PlayLive Casino online slots tournament is there to give you an added thrill while offering you the chance to win bigger on the slots games.

Is the tournament only available at a certain time?

No, that’s the beauty of the PlayLive Casino online slots tournament. You can play whenever you feel like playing. As long as your signed up for the tournament and playing on the correct slots game you are building up your points.

The leaderboard is completed on the last day of every month and the prize pool is split among the players. The next month has a new tournament on a new slots game.
