Now it doesn’t look like Silver Oak offers many slot tournaments if you see the screenshot of the tournament lobby below. However, once you take a closer look, you will see that they have a lot to offer you. There are two daily slot tournaments that have $5.50 ($5.00+$0.50) and $16.50 ($15.00+$1.50) buy-ins. There is also a weekly slot tournament that has a $22 buy-in ($20+$2) and a monthly slot tournament which is Silver Oaks big draw.
Silver Oaks Monthly Tournament
The monthly slot tournament cost $8.25 ($7.50+$0.75) to buy-in to the tournament. There is a guaranteed prize pool of $7,500 for this tournament. The prizes awarded are based upon the number of entries placed.
This is a different type of slot tournament then many that I’ve shown you before. Silver Oak Casino uses Real Time Gaming software (the same as Rushmore Casino). All of Silver Oak’s slot tournaments are timed events with no rebuys and you are not allowed to use the Autoplay button.
How the Slot Tournaments Work
I’m going to use the monthly slot tournament as the example. You will start with 45,000 credits and 45 minutes of playtime. The object of the tournament is to post the highest score in the 45 minutes. You get one shot to do it so the pressure is on.
The things you have control over is the number of paylines that you can bet on and the amount of credits you bet per spin. There are two things that you do not want to do:
1) Don’t run out of credits early! 2) Don’t leave credits unused at the end of 45 minutes!
Betting in this type of slot tournament
The credits are the available bets that you have to use in the amount of time dictated by the tournament rules. When you bet, there is no getting the credits back. When you win on a payline, the total goes into your Score. That is the number you want to get as high as possible.
This means generally that you should be going at a pace of 1,000 credits per minute. Ideally, you would like to bet 100.00 credits (the maximum bet and maximum lines) on each spin. You may have to bump the bet down to 25.00 (or 20.00 in some of their tournaments) if you start to get ahead of the 1,000 credits/minute goal.
There is only one other bet setting lower and that is 12.50 (10.00 on some) credits per spin. I try not to make spins at this bet level because it tends to take up too much time and not enough of a reward when you hit the paylines.
The one thing that can help you out as far as timing are free spins. After activating them, the free spins may take several seconds to unveil the multipliers and number of free spins. It will also take at least 1 minute or more to go through your free spins without betting.
As long as you are ahead of the 1,000 credits/minute, make sure that you are betting the 100.00 credits max per spin to get the highest score possible.
April Freeroll Slot Tournament
Starting this month, Silver Oak Casino is also offering a free slot tournament for all of their players. There is a prize pool of $2,500 and the winner will end up receiving $625! You will get 45,000 credits to start and 45 minutes of playtime in the tournament.
If you need to stop for any reason during the tournament, hit the Back button and the Time Remaining will pause until you come back and make your next spin.
