Microgaming have now introduced a fortnightly freeroll event on the old favourite Thunderstruck 2 slot. This will be an ongoing tournament and can be played at my favourite Microgaming casinos Nedplay Casino and 32Red Casino (in the download versions).

It’s called a ’20k Tournament’ but this eludes to the total tournament prize money which is spread amongst the Top 10 players, the winner receiving $4k and the tenth, $500. Additionally, 11th down to 100th splits 5,000 in bonus chips ranging from $400 for 11th. down to $5 for 100th. There are up to 999 continues allowed which give 12 minutes/12k in coins at a max stake of 300 coins.

Seeing as the continues cost $2.50 each, the winner of the 4k will make $1500 and second $500. So effectively if there are (as usual!) several big punters chasing the top prizes you will only really be taking the gamble of spending $2.5k of your money hoping to hit a top-two position.

Without multitudes of re-buys you may hit a minor bonus cash position with one big lucky hit, but otherwise don’t be fooled by the ‘freeroll‘ label – a decent prize certainly won’t be ‘free’…. (more…)

The featured March 2015 tournament at SlotTournaments.net is Golden Riviera Casino’s Thunderstruck II Slot Tournament, a multiplayer freeroll tournament  “set to add a little lightning to the month of March” and offering players the thrill of competitive gaming on one of Microgaming’s top slots, Thunderstruck II, combined with the chance of winning a share of the €1,500 prize-pool.

To be a part of the action, with a chance of a spot on the leaderboard and a share of the money, players need to register for the tournament by downloading the casino here (sorry, UK & US players not accepted), which is free, with add ons at €10 each. The tournament kicks off on Monday, 16^th March 2015 (18:00 GMT), running until Friday, 27^th March 2015 (22:00 GMT).

“Since Thunderstruck II stormed into the casino’s catalogue, it, like its predecessor, has proven itself as a game for winners. Thunderstruck II takes players into Valhalla, the home of the Norse gods, Odin, Thor and Loki. Stunning animated visuals are depicted in high resolution graphics and accompanied by gripping sound effects. It offers 243-Ways-to-Win on 5 Reels along with Free Spins, Multipliers and Bonus levels that stack up the winnings.”

Although Playtech software itself doesn’t have a slot tournaments module, the excellent Omni casino run regular $10k-$15k monthly online slot tourneys which will appeal to players of all bet sizes as prizes are also awarded for the number of bets rather than just on amounts won! Play on slots like Great Blue, the Marvel slotsand Gladiator to name just a few.

Unlike the automated tournament system that Microgaming provide, Omni’s tournaments are largely managed by hand and based on your wagering. Tournaments are opt-in and listed under the promotions tab on the casino’s website – there are always one or two on the go and they are a) free to play and b) offer big prizes so the trade-off for automation and consequently a lack of feeling as if you are part of a competition as you play (no countdown timer or real-time leaderboard for example) isn’t so bad. There is a leaderboard by the way but it’s updated daily.
