Slot machine tournaments are getting hotter and hotter at online casinos, every day thousands of players sign in to participate in one of these events and win big prizes. The truth is that these tournaments are a lot of fun, and today we hope to give you some insight on what they are all about so you can decide if they are up your alley.

There are mainly three types of slot tournaments: invitational tournaments, free tournaments, and entry fee tournaments. In order to participate in the invitational tournaments you have to, well duh, be invited, the free tournaments are great if your bankroll is on the low and you want to take a chance at winning free money, or if you just want to check out what slot tournaments are all about. The entry fee tournaments are probably your best shot at profiting and they usually have good non-cash prizes; these tournaments often return the entry fee in the form of prizes.

It is very important that you check out the prize structure before signing in to evaluate the value of investing your time into a certain tournament. In a slot tournament the casino will usually list the prize structure and a lot of the time the prizes are in cash, but they can also consist of other rewards such as free accommodation at hotels around the world, tickets to varied events, raffles, store discounts, and many others.

The most exciting part is that you will be competing against other slots players, and, besides the prize money, players are also awarded the winning title in every tournament. Of course, you will need some luck to get to the top of the leader-board, but in the online casino world anything can happen and we all know it. Slot tournaments don't require the player to have a lot of skill, but rather some luck and patience. You will be assigned a time frame to play at a specific slot machine (or multiple assigned slot machines) and your results will be recorded and compared to those of the other participants. Another common format is to give players a certain amount of credits for them to play and record their final results to be compared.
