Microgaming is again leading the field with some fantastic new live Multi-Player slot tournaments.

The Tomb Raider and Thunderstruck tournaments are available at almost every online casinos that runs Microgaming Viper software, such as All Jackpots Casino, which offers a great signup bonus offer for all new casino players.

What is a slot tournament?

The tournaments are varied and innovative, with a wide range of options that will suit all players and pockets. The idea is simple; a single buy-in pays for a set amount of credits.

All players are given the same amount and an equal amount of playing time to complete their slot cycle, with the winners taking home the loot. The only hard part is choosing which to play!

The Multi-Player Slots Tournaments are available 24 hours a day, every day of the week, and come in a variety of guises which give the player excellent control. These include free-rolls, and buy-ins from $2 up to $100.

The majority of the action seems to be around the lower staked and mid tournaments, though high rollers will find that there are plenty of takers for the top end at peak time. Free rolls fill up quickly, and so can be difficult to join; but this does not detract from the quality.

Kind of tournaments

Prize pools also vary, with the regular divided prize pools and also an exciting winner-takes-all option for the serious player who wants some extra excitement.

For those with little time there are micro tournaments that take only 5 minutes to complete, whereas for those who want more for their money there are options which can take up to 3 days.

Some tournaments even have a continue feature, which enables players to rebuy into the tournament for a repeat fee. In this scenario, any free spins etc that were won previously will be carried over. This feature is particularly welcome.

The variety continues in terms of tournament type. Scheduled tournaments are arranged regularly, whereas those wanting a game outside these times can opt for the sit-and-go offer which begins once the table is full.

And for the jackpot prize there is the big $20,000 Weekender which offers some of the biggest slot tournament payouts available online.

The number of players registered who play at the online slots is always huge, but don’t let this put you off: it’s popular because of the prizes on offer and always guaranteed to be a challenge.

At all times during play, the player’s position can be seen which adds a competitive edge. The tournaments are mainly displayed in $, and so players using other currencies will have to agree to the exchange rate before entering the game but this takes just seconds.

Any winnings are immediately added to your bankroll, and all players are shown the winners table.

Final considerations

As the prizes are for real money, the tournaments can not be played on free money accounts. They are available in real money accounts only.

Furthermore, most online casinos will not allow tournament buy-ins to be from bonus money. The buy-in amount is also not included towards loyalty schemes.

However, the tournaments are guaranteed to be full of action, challenge and fun.
