In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explain exactly how the competitions work, why they’re so popular, and how to sign up to start enjoying a more fulfilling online casino experience.
At Cafe Casino, we have the best casino tournaments on the web. With five slots, three versions of Blackjack (including Single Deck Blackjack), and our newest version of Baccarat, our roster has an extensive game selection, so you can have a new experience every day of the week. Take a look at some of our popular games that are commonly featured in our tournaments as we to go press:
• 777 Deluxe
• A Night With Cleo
• Fast & Sexy
• Gold Rush Gus
• Bulletproof Babes
• Blackjack
• Single Deck Blackjack
• Double Deck Blackjack
• Baccarat
These games are the core of the online casino tournament, which essentially makes an event around a group of people playing the same online slot or table game simultaneously. The tournament structure is quite simple; there’s a designated timeframe for when all the competitors play the game (in tournament mode), and during this timeframe, wins are converted into points in order to track people’s rankings. Points are also issued for simply spinning the reels, or, as is the case with Blackjack, completing the minimum hand requirements. As you’ll be able to see in the chart below, points vary in size depending on the strength of the win.
Slots Win Chart
Standard Win: 5 Points
Big Win (10X Bet): 10 Points
Mega Win (20X Bet): 25 Points
Epic Win (50X Bet): 25 Points
Blackjack Win Chart
Win: 5 Points
Blackjack Win: 10 Points
Push: 2 Points
With slots, there is a special consideration regarding point accumulation. While free spins don’t contribute to the minimum spin requirements, they do count as wins, which are attached to the triggering spin once the free spins session concludes.
Since the top-ranking player will be the person with the most points, ties will inevitably happen. When they do happen, the number of spins is used as the primary tie-breaker; the winning player with more spins is considered the winner. In the rare circumstance where the tied winners also have the same number of spins, the winner will be the player who reached that number of spins first.
The best real money online casino tournaments use software that connects all of the competitors virtually through a special version of the casino game (Tournament Mode). This version includes a tool that tracks and illustrates the top rankings, plus your ranking, on a screen that’s visible while playing. Keep in mind, this ranking is in flux until the time expires; at that point, the top three players are declared winners. Their names are listed on the Casino Tournaments page for a day after the event.
Winning a casino tournament is a big deal. You’re awarded one of the three prizes listed in the game’s Prize List, which can be found under the Tournament Details. Prizes are listed as bronze for third place, silver for second place, and gold for first, which each place having its own prize worthy of the accomplishment. These prizes are usually casino bonuses with small playthrough requirements that are added to your account and ready to be used immediately.
You’ll find more than just prize information under Tournament Details; this tab also lists the requirement to qualify for winning. It’s not enough to simply join and play in the tournament; you must also spin the reels (or play hands) a minimum number of times. On top of that, you will see the minimum amount staked required in order to be included in the competition. More information can be found by following the Terms and Conditions link provided in the Tournament Details. Once you’ve read through the requirements for the game, hit “Join” to sign up; you can join up to two minutes after the tournament begins.
Rise of Popularity of Online Casino Tournaments
Casino tournaments have hit the internet by storm. The hunger for online tournaments came from both the adrenaline that comes from a little healthy competition between players and the desire for an online gaming community.
It’s human nature. When people are having an excellent casino session, they often wonder how they stack up against others. With online casino tournaments, you get to see that, and on top of the pride that comes from being No. 1, you get a cash prize. With no registration fees, it’s pretty much free money when the tournament features a game you were going to play anyway.
When you join the tournament scene, you may begin to notice recurring names popping up on the ranks. These like-minded people enjoy playing the same games as you and are playing them at the same time. See if you can beat them, but also try to enjoy the comradery that comes from playing with the same people much of the time.
Advantages of Casino Tournaments
The main advantage of playing a casino tournament is the opportunity to double dip on winnings. Everything you earn while playing in the tournament is yours to keep. On top of that, you have the chance to net one of three prizes, which are typically three unique amounts of bonus money.
To take full advantage of the opportunities that tournaments present, try to join the ones that would draw a smaller playing field of competitors. For example, an early morning tournament may draw fewer players than an evening one. The fewer players involved, the better your chances of winning a prize.
Play Casino Tournaments on Mobile
Yes, your smartphone can access all of our online casino tournaments when you’re connected to the internet. All of the games we use for the tournaments are mobile-optimized, so they play well on mobile as long as you flip your phone to landscape mode.
The only thing you won’t be able to see when playing on mobile is the ranking tool while the tournament is in progress. To see that, you’ll have to play on your computer. But even if you can’t track your ranking during the game, you’ll find out how you rank after the competition ends, which is the most important part.
Cafe Casino Perks
Loyalty pays at Cafe Casino. Our generous rewards program provides casino players with perks for playing their favorite games. With no sign-up required, you’re automatically enrolled in our no-fee program when you register for your account. At that point onward, you collect Perk Points for playing games in our online casino.
These points reward you in two unique ways. For one, they act as Tier Points, which push you through the several tiers of membership. Everyone starts at the basic membership level and progresses upward with the accumulation of Tier Points. The higher you climb the ranks of membership, the better the perks you’ll enjoy. For example, cash-back on losses begins at 5% for the lowest level and reaches 15% for the highest level, with six other cash-back levels in between. The rewards points’ second function is to act as Perks Points, which is like a currency that you can use to redeem cash bonuses. Your points never expire, so you won’t be downgraded from an elite-level membership once acquired.
Rest assured that you will collect Perks Points while playing in our online casino tournaments. For every dollar wagered in a slot tournament, you earn five points, whereas every dollar wagered in a table game tournament nets you one point.
Online casino tournaments have been such a hit with players, they will continue to evolve. Game selection and prizes could expand in the future, with more of an emphasis on variety. If you have a favorite game that you’d like to see included in our online casino tournaments, don’t hesitate to reach out via social media, or contact our Customer Service team. We’re always happy to hear what our players think would make an epic tournament game.
