A less common feature but equally as popular with customers, free slots tournaments are a chance for players to win real money, prizes and, of course, free spins. Entry is usually obtained by achieving a certain feat, either signing up to an online casino or by wagering a set amount in the previous week on a featured game, but any chance to have some free slot machine play is hardly going to be a turn off when it comes to getting customers to sign up.
- Pro: Tournaments typically mean bigger prizes so it’s always worthwhile checking out what you could win if you place at the top of the ladder. In addition, with most casinos using these as an acquisition or retention tool, free slots tournaments are a great way to check out new games and/or studios with exclusive games regularly featured in the playable list of games.
- Con: Just like any tournament, you’re competing against an unspecified number of players, or a large list at best, so the chances of winning are reduced with every new entry. Also, be prepared for the lower place prizes to come with huge terms and conditions attached to them as this is how many casinos can afford to offer such big prizes to the top spots.
All in all, when it comes to free slot games, the word ‘free’ will always overpower any other relevance as there is no harm (and no cost) in checking them out. Here at BetVictor UK, we want to make sure that you, the customer, understands all the criteria set out before you accept any free spins offers or tournaments, so remember to read the playthrough requirements on the slots promotions page, check out your maximum win and, if you want to be extra sure, ask the customer service teams who will usually have all the relevant information to hand.
