hey, don’t look at me, that’s what they’re calling the big Thanksgiving Slots Tournament taking place at English Harbour and Superslots.

Nov. 16th - Nov. 30th - $100,000 Slots Tournament

Well, the votes must be in. Players had a chance to choose which slot machine they wanted this tournament to be played on by voting earlier in the month.  I know that I cast my ballot.

Players chose the Reel Deal slot machine as the game they’d like to play for the course of the tournament.  Here are the numbers on the event:

Start Date: November 16th, 2008

Ends: November 30th at midnight

so, the tournament is currently underway!

There is a guaranteed $100,000 prize pool - which is HUGE.  This is not a freeroll, so there’s an entry fee to get into the tournament.  Each player involved is paying a $10 entry fee. 

I have the tournament lobby open right now, and there are some interesting things going on.  Right now, there’s a total of 554 players in the tournament.  The “Giant Thanksgiving Turkey” tournament pays the top 3,875 places. Yep - 3,875 places.

So, everyone so far has paid $10, but they’re all getting their money back in prize money.  And so are the next several thousand contestants!!

So, even though it’s not really a freeroll, it sure acts like one!

The gameplay is simple.  Everyone starts with a $500 balance on the Reel Deal slot machine.  Play until you lose it, or rack up as many credits as you want.

If you lose your 500 credits, you are temporarily knocked out of the tournament.  But, you can “rebuy”, which means for another $10 you can have another 500 credits and try again.  So it’s not as though one bad run on a cold machine dooms you to failure in the event.

If you decide you’d like to enter, there are still machines open at either English Harbour or SuperSlots.
