Online Blackjack Tournaments

Update – 6/21

I would like to thank the 12 participants that we got in our free blackjack tournament. I was hoping to get a few more people, but I only gave people a 1 1/2 day notice. Congratulations Dave for winning the tournament with an impressive score of $5,325 (starting balance of $1500 in a one hour tournament). He took down the one and only prize – $342.

If I can set another one of these up in the future, I will try to give you more than a days notice before it starts. That didn’t seem to work very effective. You can still practice on the free blackjack game listed below.

Would you like to be able to play in a real money blackjack tournament for free? I have been given the opportunity to host a $30 buy-in blackjack tournament held at the Slots of Vegas casino.

But I thought you said this would be free?! Well this is going to be your lucky day. I have a deal in place with Slots of Vegas that will give all new players a $30 free tournament chip. This is a no deposit bonus that can only be used to play in the casino tournaments! (more on this bonus below)

Specifically, I’m hoping to get a nice showing of people to help Slots of Vegas out. They recently set up a casino tournament section to their website that is completely unique to all other RTG casinos (which I’ll go through below). However, it takes more then a couple of players a day to make these tournaments any fun.

When is the free blackjack tournament?

I already have several people committed to playing in the tournament shown above. This free blackjack tournament will take place this Friday, June 17th between 7:00PM and 8:00PM Central Time Zone (GMT-5). That’s between 8:00PM and 9:00PM ET and between 5:00PM and 6:00PM PT and so on.

Depending on the amount of people participating, I’m anticipating that the top score takes the prize pool. There may be multiple prizes if I can get enough players to enter. The prize pool will be 95% of the total amount paid (5% goes to the casino) or $28.50 per participant.

Slots of Vegas Tournaments

Slots of Vegas has a different casino tournament setup then any other RTG casino that I’ve seen. Instead of the normal RTG slots tournaments that is played through RTG’s casino software, Slots of Vegas uses a flash based tournament lobby ran from their website.

In order to get to this free blackjack tournament, you must follow the directions below:

1) Go to Slots of Vegas homepage by clicking here.

2) Click on the Instant Play button as shown in the screenshot below:

3) This will take you to webplay.slotsofvegas.com. You need to get to the casino cashier in order to get your $30 free tournament chip. You can do this one of two ways: downloading and installing the casino software is the most obvious way.

But if you don’t want to download the casino software to get to the cashier, do the following:

a. Click on the Blackjack game and b. Click on Real Money

4) Click on the Create Account button as seen below:

5) You will need to create your account with Slots of Vegas. After you have done so, go back to the previous screen and log into the casino.

6) Take a look at the screenshot below: You will need to click on the Redeem Coupon button.

7) Enter the code TOURNAMENTCHIP in the box under Redeem Coupon Code:. You will see the following screenshot:

8) Do not use this $30 to play the blackjack game for real!

9) Wait for the tournament to start on Friday!

The Free Blackjack Tournament is about to start! Now what?

1) Go to Slots of Vegas homepage.

2) Click on the Tournaments tab, then click on the tournaments banner that appears. You will enter the Tournaments section of Slots of Vegas.

3) You will be able to see the current Casino Tournaments that are taking place as seen below.

You will not see the blackjack tournament in the list until we get close to Friday, 7:00PM Central Time.

4) Between 7:00PM and 8:00PM CT, you will be able to click the PLAY NOW button to enter the tournament (you may need to log in again).

5) You will see a screen that asks you to “Press continue to start tournament.” Click on the Continue button in order to use the $30 free chip and start your free blackjack tournament!

How the Blackjack Tournament Works

Once you enter the tournament, you will see a special flash version of Blackjack game inside of a Slots of Vegas Tournaments screen. You will not see other players at your table as it will be just you vs the dealer.

Each player will start with the same “Fun Balance” and will have an allotted time in which to post the highest score with their fun balance. If you bust out or don’t play more than 1 hand, you will not be eligible to win a prize.

After you are finished with your tournament, you can see how everyone did by clicking the View button under the leaderboard. If you have won money, you will receive this money in your casino account.
