What Are Tournaments?

International Slots League tournaments:

• Are online slots tournaments
• Are multiplayer: you play against other players in real-time
• Give you a chance to win a prize from a central prize-pool known as 'the pot'
• Start and end at specific times - see the International Slots League schedule for more details or keep an eye on your email for details of invitation-only tournaments

When you play in a tournament, the 'Win Box' amount will increase as you win. The Leaderboard shows your rank against other players according to your 'Win Box' amount. The players with the highest ranking on the Leaderboard win the prizes according to the prize schedule.
You can view the Leaderboard:

• In the casino lobby
• When you are playing in a tournament a mini-Leaderboard appears
• At the end of the tournament your final position is shown as well as any prize amount you may have won

Instead of publishing your actual name on the Leaderboard, the first time you attempt to join a tournament you will be asked to create an alias or nickname which will be published instead. Once you create this alias, it cannot be changed, and please remember you can only create one alias that will be used for all Microgaming casinos that you play at.

Types of Tournaments

• Scheduled Tournaments

Scheduled tournaments start at a fixed time according to the schedule. Scheduled tournaments are usually by INVITE ONLY - keep an eye on your e-mail and the casino 'Message of the Day' for details.
Types of Scheduled Tournaments: 'Guaranteed' and 'Freeroll'
'Guaranteed' tournaments require you to pay an entry fee to take part. There is no entry fee for a Freeroll. A minimum number of registered players are required before a scheduled tournament will start. The prize amounts for the tournament will be published before the tournament starts in the tournament window in the casino lobby.

• Sit 'n Go Tournaments

Sit 'n Go tournaments are NOT by invite only - anyone can register and play. Sit 'n Go tournaments begin as soon as the minimum number of required players have registered. Winners are displayed immediately once the tournament has ended.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:

What is 'Play Time'?
'Play Time' is the number of minutes you have to play during the tournament. Your 'play time' can be extended using the 'Continue' feature.
What is the 'Continue' feature?
Some tournaments will allow you to 'continue' once you have run out of play time. This means that you will be able to continue playing for a specified fee amount and your 'Win Box' amount will remain unchanged.
Can I play in any currency?
You can play in any supported currency, although the entry fee and prize amounts are displayed in US Dollars. The entry fee and prize amount will be converted to the equivalent value in your currency based on the exchange rates on the day that you register for the tournament.
