A number of online casinos have started up some very popular slot tournaments although the
quality and ability to run these depends largely on the software the casino licences. US
facing casinos that use RTG software have the option, as do casinos licensing Microgaming
software and Playtech software launched a slot tournament module plugin in 2011.
Personally, my favourite slot tournaments are those using
Microgaming slots
(
see the casinos panel, right). The tournies are simple to enter, there are regular freerolls and
sit 'n' go tournies and plenty of casinos run special tournaments with prizes of up to
$100,000.
Several of the slots featured on
Slotjunkies feature in online slot
tournaments including
Thunderstruck 2,
Avalon,
Tombraider,
Immortal Romance,
Hitman and my all time Microgaming favourite,
the original
Thunderstruck slot.
To participate in the freeroll or sit n go slot tournaments, simply visit any of the
casinos listed to the right and download the software. Once set up, you will see a
"slot tournaments" icon or link in the casino lobby - click it, select a tournament and
enter. Simple as that. Most tournaments are between 5 and 15 minutes and there are
several every day, some big weekly ones and regular freeroll tournaments run by
individual casinos either for new players or VIPs.
