€1,000,000 Grand Slam of Slots Tournament
July 14, 2009
Sun Vegas Casino is one of the many Microgaming powered casinos that will be hosting the biggest online slots tournament in the history of the industry, boasting a handsome first prize of €1,000,000 as well as many car giveaways and additional prizes to the value of $415,000.
This tournament will be held across the Microgaming network and looks set to be filled with fun and excitement every step of the way as hundreds of thousands of people compete in the hopes of walking away with the million Euro prize.
If you’re an avid slots fanatic, it may be difficult not to get embroiled in the promotional hype surrounding an event of this magnitude, but as with everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages to these types of tournaments. So before you begin, consider the following:
Drawbacks
- You never get something for nothing: Microgaming casinos are businesses and as such need to make a profit. In these tournaments vast numbers of qualifying rounds are held, entry fees are charges and there are re-buy options, which means that they are making enough money to cover the cost of the prizes and then some. All of this comes out of player pockets.
- Tournaments are Time Consuming: If you’ve played in slots tournaments before you’ll know that the entire process takes a long time (up to five minutes per round with numerous re-buy options). So if you are planning to compete, you will need to clear your schedule!
- You are bound to a single machine and the reel spin is slow: There is no “quick play” option on the tournament machines to speed things up and make them more exciting which means there are times when you will get bored.
- Low Odds: The odds of winning are greatly reduced in these types of tournaments because every casino in the Microgaming network will be pumping in thousands of players who will compete with you for spots in the final.
Attractions
- Cheap to Enter and participate in: the tournament does not require huge amounts of cash to be laid out in order to participate.
- You can play for longer on a smaller budget: due to the slow spin of the reels and re-buy options you get more game for your money.
- There is always the chance that you will actually get lucky and win prizes along the way, even if you don’t make it to the final.
Winning Tip
If you are going to enter into The Grand Slam of Slots hosted by casinos like Sun Vegas, at least try to enter at the latest possible stage and buy-in to the qualifying round if possible.
