A number of online casinos have started up some very popular slot tournaments although the quality and ability to run these depends largely on the software the casino licences. US facing casinos that use RTG software have the option, as do casinos licensing Microgaming software and Playtech software launched a slot tournament module plugin in 2011.
Personally, my favourite slot tournaments are those using Microgaming slots (see the casinos panel, right). The tournies are simple to enter, there are regular freerolls and sit 'n' go tournies and plenty of casinos run special tournaments with prizes of up to $100,000.
Several of the slots featured on Slotjunkies feature in online slot tournaments including Thunderstruck 2, Avalon, Tombraider, Immortal Romance, Hitman and my all time Microgaming favourite, the original Thunderstruck slot.
To participate in the freeroll or sit n go slot tournaments, simply visit any of the casinos listed to the right and download the software. Once set up, you will see a 'slot tournaments' icon or link in the casino lobby - click it, select a tournament and enter. Simple as that. Most tournaments are between 5 and 15 minutes and there are several every day, some big weekly ones and regular freeroll tournaments run by individual casinos either for new players or VIPs.
