Halloween Freeroll Slot Tournament Review

So I made my first post Thursday and I told you about the Fearfully Fun Fright Night Freeroll $2,666 Guaranteed slot tournament. Just to let you know that I’m not one to post about something and not go and participate in the contest.

I finished with $9042.52. I ended up finishing in 12th place, netting me $60. But, I had less than 1/6th the amount of coins as the winner.

I did bust out on my freeroll though and did have to re-buy for $1.99 twice, so it wasn’t exactly free. But that still means I made a profit of $56 for participating in this slot tournament.

As you can see, I was no where near the top winner. Usually this is the way it goes. A couple of people end up hitting it big. Usually they get there by getting lucky and hitting the bonus round when they’ve put in a max bet of $250. That hit alone will net you more than I made in the tournament, probably a little over $10,000 for that one spin.

My general thoughts about participating in these tournaments with the goal of getting near the top are as follows:

1) With every video slot, there are times when the paylines naturally hit more often and times when there are extended droughts. Instead of thinking that your due at one time or another, try to bet low during a period of time when things are looking good. Any time you hit an extended period of 30-50 spins where you don’t see much more than a two times your bet winner, that’s when you want to bump up the coins to the next level.

2) If you ok with spending a little bit of money, wait til the paylines start hitting start betting big. You’ll bust out several times, but if/when you hit, you’ll hit a lot bigger and catapult yourself onto the leaderboard. This can be softened a lot when your talking about losing two bucks each time you bust out.

3) If you have just hit a big score, the slot machines usually like trying to take your money back with a dry spell. Bump down the amount of coins that you are betting, but not so much that you won’t benefit from a bonus round.

4) I’m not sure if this is the correct method, but it’s the method that I always use. I always bet max paylines. That way I know which paylines have hit and when things are hot or cold.

5) Another tactic that I use is doing about 100-200 autospins at the second lowest coin amount ($1.25 per spin in this case). If you notice that you’ve lost more than $100 or more during that spell, bump up you bets because you should be getting some big hits your way.

A have included a picture of the Autoplay Settings to let you see what I was thinking here. If I hit something more than $50, I want to know about it. Usually it takes another 500-2000 spins before you will get another 40X or more payline win.

Other than that, most of the strategy revolves around the luck of your timing. If you never change your coins, you are almost always guaranteed to lose.

I ended up taking a little more than 2000 spins, which isn’t a whole lot when it comes to a slot tournament. Here are some screenshots that I took of big payline hits:

This is the screenshot where I won a big bonus round.

Here is how I won this amount of money in the bonus round.

Here are two other big wins. The first is a well timed $250 bet that won me $2800. The second was a 15X hit that was also luckily time; it was the first spin after 30 spins at $1.25 without a winning a the bet back.

I will be participating in and review more Free US Slot Tournaments. Please stay tuned because I will let you know when a free online slot tournament is upcoming as well.
