Tournament is the English term and means "tournament". Many online casinos and online gaming arcades organize such tournaments at regular intervals. Most of them are slot tournaments. At events of this kind, players usually compete against each other on a specific slot machine. Possible prizes at a tournament are non-cash or cash prizes. In some cases, participants can also "only" win a bonus credit or free spins.
Before participating in a tournament, interested players should carefully read the terms and conditions. Here, for example, it is specified over what period the tournament runs and what requirements must be met in order to participate. In most cases, the online casinos also publish a leaderboard during the ongoing tournament, so that each participant can see on which rank he is currently.
Tournaments are also often held in poker. These are usually held according to the freeze-out system, i.e. a knockout system. This means that a payout of winnings is not possible during the current game, but that the Poker players are only paid prize money for the place they have reached at the end of the tournament.
