Online Casino Tournaments
Submitted by Evan on Fri, 2010-02-26 at 19:31
Tournaments have become increasingly popular in the online gambling realm. Because players from all over the world can be brought together via the internet, making for some interesting competitions at online casinos. While poker was previously the only casino game that could be offered to players, many new games are becoming competitive, including roulette, blackjack and slots.
Normally, players will be required to pay a small entry free in order to take part in the tournament, ranging anywhere from $5 to $25. Upon starting the tournament, all players will be given the same number of credits. They will then be required to spend all of their chips within a specified time period, and will be ranked according to the amount of winnings they have acquired on a leaderboard. The top ten players are often awarded prizes.
For frugal players, there are also freerolls, which allow players to take part in an online slots tournament without requiring an entry fee. These tournaments usually have the biggest pools of players, so it can get very competitive. There are two ways that players can win when playing in freerolls. First, the casino will set up a prize fund, from which the top 10 players will receive a share. Secondly, players may be eligible for bonus prizes. These are essentially the same as regular prizes, except wager requirements are placed on them.
