There’s nothing like a little competitive spirit to keep things interesting at casinos. Whether you’re playing sports or casino games, like slot games, for real money, competitions make for a lively atmosphere and give players extra incentive to excel. In order to instill some good-hearted rivalry among our online casino players, we created online Casino Leaderboards for real money prizes.
If you’ve yet to play online slots tournaments (or table games tournaments), this online comprehensive guide is a good starting point. We’ll explain how online Casino Leaderboards work, outline the many real money benefits to playing them, and tell you how to win big cash online. The play guide concludes with a Casino Leaderboards FAQ, so you can get quick answers for your casino tournament questions.
What Are Casino Leaderboards? | How Do They Work?
A casino Leaderboards is a competition between online casino players to see who has the most successful gaming session. During the real money competition, all of the players who signed up for a tournament play the same game at the same time. As they play, their wins are systematically converted to points in order to track the success of each person’s tournament session. At the end of the real money tournament, all of the points are tallied officially and the three players with the most points earn rewards for first, second and third place finishes.
To join a casino leaderboard, the first step is to pick an event or which of the games that you’re interested in, like one of the slot games. Simply browse through the events featured on the “Happening Now” or “Full Schedule” tabs. The online game, start play time and duration are all listed, and a drop-down menu includes more leaderboard details such as the conditions that must be met in order to qualify for prizes, and the prizes that are up for grabs. To take part in an online competition, use the “JOIN” button, and then use the “PLAY” button to launch the game in Leaderboard mode. Play the game as you would normally; your points will accumulate automatically.
Online Casino Leaderboards | Why You Should Play Them
With no sign-up cost, Casino Leaderboards give you access to a wide range of online play games without having to invest anything more than what you were planning to gamble anyway. Say you were planning to invest $100 on a progressive slot; if you were to launch the slot in Leaderboard mode, every penny of the $100 would be used for spins in the tournament. We don’t collect any real money fees for offering the tournaments.
We also don’t restrict you from winning real money payouts throughout the competition. Wins are converted to points simply as a form of tracking; you still keep all of the money that you get throughout your play session.
On top of getting to keep all of your real money winnings, you have the chance to win extra cash prizes. You could win $20 in cash bonuses, which would be a nice bump to your play bankroll. Getting rewarded for having a great casino play session is what attracts people to our Leaderboard competitions more than anything else.
The Benefits of Playing Online Tournaments
After a solid casino play session, most of us feel compelled to celebrate in some way. After all, savoring the thrill of the win is part of the fun. And when you conclude a play session by stepping up on a podium to receive a real money prize for your stellar play, you’ll be able to bask in the celebration we all crave.
It’s one thing to feel like you’re a good Blackjack player, and another thing to prove to other people that you’re a good Blackjack player. When you play online Blackjack in tournament mode, you can show off the skills that you earned by mastering a game. If you’re regularly a top contender for a specific game, it’s because you’ve learned how to excel at it, and that’s worth putting on display online.

How Do I Win Slots Tournaments?
In order to win real money at one of our daily slot tournaments, you must accumulate the most points during the competition’s pre-determined timeframe. Points are awarded in two ways: through wins, and by completing basic tournament requirements.
A standard slot win, which is less than 10X the stake bet, awards 5 points. A “Big” slot win is 10X the bet and awards 10 points. Mega and Epic wins are 20X and 50X your bet, and they both contribute 25 points to your rank.
In addition to getting points for winning rounds, you also get points for simply spinning the reels; every spin gets you one point. Be sure to check the Tournament requirements before playing, so that you know the minimum number of spins and bet size needed to qualify for prizes.
How Do I Win Blackjack Tournaments?
To win one of our daily Blackjack tournaments, you must accumulate more points than your competitors while also meeting the tournament requirements listed in the Tournament Details. Blackjack points are awarded for winning a round and completing the minimum hand requirements. A standard win awards players 5 points, while a “Blackjack” win awards 10 points. If you tie the Dealer, resulting in a push, you get 2 points. One point is awarded for completing the basic tournament requirements, which is based on a minimum bet and minimum number of hands that must be played.
The nature of Blackjack presents unique online opportunities to earn points. When you split a hand, for instance, you have the opportunity to win double the points. Winning both split hands counts as two wins, earning you a total of 10 points. Note, landing a 10 on a split Ace doesn’t count as Blackjack, so it would get you 5 points instead of 10. Use our Online Blackjack Strategy Guide for additional tips on how to win.
