Slot Tournament Alert: Win €$£2,000 in Prizes and an iPad Mini 2

Expired

18+

And as with all slot tournaments, you need to understand how to win, and whether it’s worthwhile, before jumping in head first.

The good news about this particular casino competition is that it’s mobile friendly, as are all Vera & John tournaments, but that you only need to be in the top 20 for a chance of winning something.

The bad news is that you’ll need to be prepared to have a decent month long playing session on two very specific mobile online slots. If the two games in question aren’t for you, then neither is this comp.

With that in mind, let’s look at how to win this slot tournament.

The Cash Blast! Vera&John tournament

This tournament is being held at the Vera&John online casino, in cahoots with the Play’n GO games software.

Basically, V&J provide the cash prize, and Play’n GO provide the iPad, the games, and the final results.

When does it start and finish?

The tournament starts on the 1st of February and lasts until the 28th. So the whole month.

Who wins the cash prizes?

The top 10 spinners with the most real money game rounds played on the tournament games will win a share of 2,000 in cash prizes. Not bonus money. Real cash.

Who wins the iPad Mini 2?

The top 20 spinners who made real money slot bets on the games in question will also be in a draw to win the coveted iPad Mini 2.

How to I climb the leaderboard?

By playing on either the Lady of Fortune slot machine or the wonderfully quirky Gemix, which is almost more game than casino slot.

You can play either on the online or mobile slot versions, that doesn’t matter, but it has to be a minimum bet of 0.50 a spin.

The winners will not be who spends the most, but who spins the most rounds. So it’s actually worth calculating your budget accordingly.

When will the winners be announced?

The leaderboard will be on the Vera&John casino website live, everyday. So you can see if you’re close to making it to the top. However, the final list and prizes will be announced on the 6th of March 2015.

You can only view the leaderboard when you are logged in online however, though any spins you make on mobile count just as much.

The cons to this tournament

As the winner is determined by the number of spins made it does mean you’ll have to watch out if:

1. You like to place larger bets. Someone else with a similar budget, but happy to lower their bets, will get higher up the board than you.
2. You only play to win this tournament rather than for fun. You’ll end up betting back all your winnings in order to climb the leaderboard, forgetting that the point of slots is to win on the slots, not just win this tournament.

Some advice for the these two

Don’t worry about it.

Seriously, just, play.

If you like to place larger bets, then you’ll win larger wins. Hopefully large enough wins that it won’t matter if you’re in the top 10 or top 20. You’ll be able to pay for your own iPad Mini 2 if you really want.

If you think you can’t help but spin just to get points to the top, then we feel we should remind you that all this is meant to be for fun. Set yourself a budget, and set yourself a threshold of when to withdraw (ie. 25% up).

Don’t deposit more, and if you hit that threshold, withdraw your cash. Play as you would normally, but just try the two new games, just in case your playing style means you’ll get to the top.

The pros to climbing the leaderboard

Well, other than the 2,000 in cash the iPad Mini 2?

We like mobile slot tournaments, because it gives you rewards for doing what you were going to do anyway. As such, there’s plenty to like about this Play’n GO competition.

1. The entry level is low. Only 0.50 a spin, allowing all levels of players to join in.
2. You only need to make 50 spins to qualify for entry into the tournament and raffle.
3. The prizes are generous and a mix of competition and luck.
4. Available to play on both the mobile and online slots.
5. The choice of the two games is perfect for different types of players.

Play the right slot to win

Lady of Fortune is one of the most popular Play’n GO games at Vera&John.

Personally, we don’t rate it as highly as some of their other games, but clearly we are in the minority. It has no free spins, but it’s one of the Play’n GO slots with higher volatility than most, meaning you can find some big wins.

But you’ll have to wait for them, so be more careful than usual with your budget on this one. Definitely for the more traditional gambler.

Gemix, on the other hand, is a brand new creation that’s more game than slot, with a 7×7 grid where you win when any 5 touching symbols are adjacent to each other. It’s absolutely random, it’s good fun, and it’s very different.

Best of all, Gemix is a low volatility slot, meaning it will give you lots of little wins to help your budget stretch longer. If you don’t have a huge budget, but still want a chance to be at the top of the tournament, this is the game to play.

A perfect blend to ensure as many people can enjoy this tournament.
