Online tournaments are more common for slots players so I keep an eye out for the rare Video Poker tournament. GoCasino seems to be one casino where I find them offered fairly regularly. They have a new tournament starting tomorrow and ending Friday.
To find the tournament and register, you’ll want to download the Go Casino software and then visit the Tournament Lobby. Tournaments are listed on the left side of the screen starting with tournaments already in play. Scroll down to find upcoming tournaments, though you can take part in a tournament that is already in progress. For Video Poker, you’re actually looking for the words Video Poker in the title. The one starting tomorrow is “Video Poker $1500 Guaranteed 100 cash prizes” and the game is Deuces Wild.
Tournament play is a little different than regular play. Instead of depositing money for chips, you pay an entry fee into the tournament and are given a starting balance. In this case, you pay $1.99 for your entry fee and start off with $100 in chips. You must make at least 20 bets but you keep betting during the tournament period. If you run out of money, you can rebuy 100 chips for another $1.99.
Instead of winning the amount on the reels, you’re playing for prizes based on who finishes top in the money. For this tournament, the top prize is $350 for 1 winner. Second is $110 for 1 winner and third is $100 for one winner. The prizes continue down until 50 winners in 24th place receive $3.00.
