Like the USA and Canada, Croatia is relatively new to the world of online casino gaming. But while legislators are still debating the regulatory details, gambling lovers in Croatia are taking full advantage of the hundreds of casino games available online.

Well over half of those games are slots. With a history dating back to the 19^th century, slot games are a staple of online casinos, and the immense variety of titles covers a huge range of themes. Slots are popular among both novice and veteran casino gamers. They are straightforward to play and present gamers with the outside chance of winning some serious money if they hit the jackpot.

The one downside of playing slots is that it is not as social as other casino games. Games like craps and roulette can get quite competitive to see who has the most luck. Slots, on the other hand, are usually played alone. That’s why slots tournaments are such a great idea, adding a competitive element to slot games.

Different types of slots tournament

Slots tournaments are growing increasingly common, and the best gambling sites online offer different types of tournaments for players. Freeroll tournaments have no entry fee. All you have to do is sign up, follow the tournament instructions, play your tournament spins and see how your winnings compare to the other contestants. There are also pay-to-play tournaments. As the name implies, these have an entry fee, but otherwise, the tournament format will be the same.

With freerolls, the prizes for tournament winners are usually paid out in bonus cash that has some sort of wagering requirement. In pay-to-play, rewards are likely to be real money that is raised from the entry fees and that winners can withdraw right away.

Having said that, these are just common guidelines. Every tournament has its own rules and terms, so read them carefully before you sign up or part with any money!

How to win slots tournaments

If we could tell you with certainty how to win slots tournaments, we would all be sitting on our yachts waiting for the next tournament to start! There are no guaranteed winning strategies   at the casino. However, there are certainly some best practices you can follow that will give you a better chance of out-performing the competition.

1. Prepare to succeed. He who fails to prepare prepares to fail according to that great sage and king of the soundbite Benjamin Franklin. You don’t have to go through a full training workout, but switch off other distractions, make sure you’ve had something to eat, have a glass of water to hand and take a comfort break before the tournament starts.
2. Go big or go home. Different slots have different rules, but in most cases, higher stakes open the door to bigger prizes, so you will usually be hitting the max bet button as a matter of course. Yes, it is risky, but half measures won’t get you to the top of the leaderboard.
3. Play fast. This goes against all the usual rules of slot play, when you should take your time to protect your bankroll. Tournaments are subject to time limits, so just this once, do not dawdle!
