If you like to play pokies or online slots then there is one type of competition that will undoubtedly peak your interest – pokies tournaments. These tournaments may consist of online pokies or slots, but the basic idea is that they are a competition between players!

Different tournaments are generally structured differently, however most share several features in common.

In pretty much every pokies or online slots tournament, the main objective is to ‘win the most’. To cut a long story short, the player who essentially wins the most is crowned the winner, and normally wins a fixed amount of prize money.

So that all players are on an even footing, when you register for a slots or online pokies tournament and pay the entrance fee you’ll be given a set amount of credits and a fixed amount of time to use them within. For example, you might be given 1000 credits and 1 hour to play.

The duration of the credits is essentially how long the tournament is scheduled to last, and at the end of that hour the player who has won the most is crowned the victor.

In most pokies or online slots tournaments, your credits do not count towards your final score. What this means is that if you’re given 1000 credits, none of that counts towards your ‘winnings’, which should make sense considering you didn’t really win them.

Instead, the ‘winnings’ score for slots and online pokies tournaments are determined by how much you actually win when you use those credits to play games of pokies and online slots!

So for example, let’s just say you started with the 1000 credits and only played 1 spin using 3 credits where you won a 6 credit pot. This would mean that you’d have 997 credits left over, but they wouldn’t count towards your final score. Instead, the only thing that would count towards your final score would be the 6 credits that you actually won!

By structuring pokies and online slots tournaments in this way, the casinos can ensure that players actually use their credits to play as opposed to simply attempting not to lose their credits and thus not playing that much.

While it is true that there are several other variations of slots and pokies online tournaments, at least you should now have come to grips with the basic structure of these competitions.

Honestly, pokies and online slots tournaments are a lot of fun – especially if you enjoy playing slots or online pokies in the first place. It is definitely something that every player should try at some point or other, and if you’re lucky you could even walk away with a sizable prize!
