Can I win comp points playing a slots tournament?

No. Slots tournaments do not count towards earning any comp points Jackpot during tournament.
You don’t get access to progressive jackpots

  • The money/credits you win during a tournament are not ‘real money’ but points that help you climb the rankings and take home the prize pool set for the event.
  • While it’s true that if you hit the jackpot you almost automatically win the tournament, you need to keep in mind that the prize you take home is the one determined by the sum of the buy-ins paid by the participants or the one that was guaranteed by the casino room - not the one that you see on the screen after a lucky spin.
  • Yes the jackpot adds as points and will be credited to the player sheet in real money when the tournament is finished./li>

How does a tournament work?

In Slot Tournaments, players can play slots against other player. We only offer Slot Tournaments. Tournaments are available only on the Downloaded version of the casinos. A tournament can be either

  • freeroll, which means your first entry is free.
  • Buy-In, whih means you have pay a fee to enter the tournament. The fee will be automatically deducted from your balance.

In a Tournament you play for a certain time frame (based on the Tournament). During the Tournament, your Credits decrease as you spin the reels. Every tournament is for a specific game.

If you have played your credits down or the time has passed you can make an Add-On. The amount of possible Add-Ons varies according to the tournament rules. If you stop the tournament and didn’t add an Add-On you can later make a Re-Buy if the tournament allows it (not all tournaments have a Re-Buy). At the end of the tournament you can look up your ranking at the scoreboard.

What is RTP?

The Return to Player percentage (RTP) is the percentage of all wagered bets that the slots pay back to you over an extended period of time. For example, with an RTP of 90%, you will receive back on average R90 for R100 worth of bets. A good RTP is approximately 95%. The higher the RTP, the better payouts players can expect on a particular game.

E.g. if a slot machine has an RTP of 95% and you place R1000 in bets on the machine, you can expect the machine to return / pay back R950. In reality, the machine will pay random amounts and it is over a longer period of time that you will see 95% in returns. The deviations of the RTP in short term are what allows players to win at the casino.
