At The Festival Series, we host a range of different casino game-based tournaments as well as poker tournaments. Here is a quick rundown of how the Slots Tournament and the Roulette Tournaments will run.

Slots Tournament

The Slots Tournament is a €150 buy-in event. €100 of each buy-in will go to the prize pool, and €30 will be used to spin, with the remainder being the casino fee. Players will then have 1 minute to LOSE as much as possible at a level stake of 50 cents per spin. Whatever you win, you get to keep, so you can still come away as a winner but a trophiless winner.

Roulette Tournament

The buy-in for a roulette tournament is fixed and applies to all players. At the start, each player receives the same number of chips. You're playing against the other players, not the dealer. The tournament will be run in a series of heats, with the players who make the most amount of chips in each heat progressing to the final spin-off. Within these levels, there are minimum and maximum bet limits set in terms of the number of chips allowed for betting. This ensures that on the first spin, it's not possible to either lose or win the tournament. Additionally, it ensures gameplay success for those who prefer to play strategically rather than relying solely on blind luck. Here is a run down of the rounds.

ROUND 1

  • Each player will receive a chip stack of 250.
  • Each Heat consists of 15 spins of the Wheel
  • Lowest chip denomination: 1 chip
  • outside bets 5 chips, maximum 100 chips (inside + outside together)
  • Players are required to place at least the minimum bet required on each spin. Should a player not place the minimum bet, the dealer will instruct the player they are not staking enough and failure to comply will forfeit the minimum bet amount for the player
  • Top 2 players from each table advance to round 2. If a table only has 2 players left, the table closes and both participants have advanced to round 2.

ROUND 2

  • All players start with a new stack of 250 chips
  • Each Heat consists of 12 spins of the Wheel
  • Lowest chip denomination: 5 chips
  • Top 2 players from each table advance to round 3. If a table only has 2 players left, the table closes and both participants have advanced to the next round.

ROUND 3

  • All players start with a new stack of 250 chips
  • Betting rounds and set-up as day 2
  • The player with the biggest stack wins the tournament
