If you have ever thought about entering a slot tournament but don't know how it works or what to expect then pay close attention. We have 7 tips for playing slot tournaments that can help you potentially score higher when you take the plunge.
For some slots players it is all about the competition, for others it’s about the title and prize, still others, it’s beating their previous score. One of the reasons players like slot tournaments is because they already know what their potential loss will be.
With a set entrance fee, it is low risk for a potentially great reward. Also, slot tournaments don’t require much “skill”, therefore leveling the playing field - one player has just as much of a chance of winning as another.
With many slot tournaments, like the $5,000 Tuesday Lucky Slot Tournament happening this Tuesday and every Tuesday at Grand Sierra Resort, you have a set time to play. The more times the reel spins, the more chances you have to increase your score.
You only have a limited amount of time and you want to spin the reel as many times as possible, increasing your chances of a higher score. Keep your finger on the spin button and lightly click it, you don’t need to pound it – though you will see many players do. This will save valuable microseconds giving you the chance to spin the reel one more than your competitor.
Contrary to our nature, when you get a big score, don’t celebrate – wait until you are finished. Celebrating during the tournament will distract you from spinning the wheel – which is what you want to focus on. Celebrate when it’s over.
Get plenty of rest before the tournament. While tournaments vary, many players can get bored if the tournament goes for a long period of time (20 minutes can seem like an hour). Because Reno is very dry you want to make sure you drink plenty of water. It is important to stay hydrated before the slot tournament so that you don’t become thirsty during the event. Your entire focus needs to be on the slot tournament.
Don’t let your curiosity of how the other players are doing kill your score. The competitive nature of slot tournaments can distract you from your focus – spinning the wheel as many times as you can to get a higher score.
