Slots are the most popular games at sites like PlayOJO, so it’s no wonder that slot tournaments draw huge crowds. In fact, at PlayOJO, more than half a million OJOers have taken part in our daily online slot tournaments, called Reel Spinoffs. But what exactly are slot tournaments and how do they work? Grab a cuppa and read all about them below in 60 seconds or less!

What are slots tournaments?

Slot tournaments are multiplayer competitions in which players get a set number of spins on slots, with the goal to get as many wins as possible within the tournament’s run time. Slot tournament wins are usually converted to points and displayed on a leaderboard. The players with the most points win prizes such as cash or free spins.

Slot Tournaments at PlayOJO

Reel Spinoffs tournament list with £500 Legendary Daily, £100 for Grabs, and Daily Freeroll slots tournaments

At PlayOJO, we call our slot tournaments Reel Spinoffs and they can be split into two different types: free slot tournaments and buy-in slot tournaments.

Free slot tournaments

Free slot tournaments, often called freeroll slot tournaments in the UK, are open to everyone, with no buy-in for the tournament spins. As long as you’ve deposited within the previous 3 days, you can play in these free slot tournaments online. Our daily freeroll slot tournaments are mobile friendly, offer free spins as prizes, and are easily spotted by their names: Daily Freeroll 1, 2, and 3. With these free slot tournaments you can win real money if your free spins prize triggers a win.

Buy-in slot tournaments

A buy-in online slots tournament is one that requires you to buy the tournament spins in order to take part in the competition. At PlayOJO, our buy-ins are minimal at just £1 or £2, making them perfect for those on a budget. Buy-ins are taken directly from your balance or you can make a deposit. Prizes include free spins, higher value Mega Spins, or even cash. Look out for our popular daily buy-in slots tournaments like £100 for Grabs and the £500 Legendary Daily, and don’t forget the weekly £2,000 Weekend Wonders.

If you click the join button, you’ll also be able to side-scroll through a quick guide on how to play, the leaderboard, and the available prizes and prize breakdown structure. When you’re ready to take part, simply click the Join or Buy-in button at the top.

How to play slots tournaments

Taking part in slots tournaments is really easy and lots of fun. If you’re going for a free slots tournament, clicking the Join button will add the tournament spins to your Rewards section. For buy-in slots tournaments, clicking the Buy-in button will let you buy the tournament spins using your balance or via deposit.

Either way, claim your tournament spins from the Rewards section in the left menu, then simply play them on the specified slot. Any wins you trigger with your tournament spins will be converted to points for the leaderboard. Once the slots tournament countdown reaches zero, players topping the leaderboard will win prizes according to the prize breakdown.

FAQs

Are slot tournaments worth it?

Slots tournaments are totally worth it because they can be lots of fun, but that’s not all. You can actually play free online slot tournaments for a chance to win real money if you take part in one of our three Daily Freeroll tournaments and win free spins. Trigger wins with your free spins prize and they’re yours to keep! In our £100 for Grabs slots tournaments, you could even win a cash prize with just a £1 buy-in.

Is there skill in slot tournaments?

Thankfully, there’s no skill involved in slots tournaments. Just like when you play slots yourself, random number generators (RNGs) determine the outcomes, so there’s no way you can influence them. That means everyone has the same chance of winning. Just cross your fingers and hope for the best from your spins!

How do you get invited to slot tournaments?

At PlayOJO, slots tournaments are not an invitation-only affair, they’re open to everyone. You’re free to enter our daily buy-in tournaments whenever they’re running and, as long as you’ve deposited in the previous 3 days, you can enter our daily slots tournament free competitions too.
