Tournaments at Lincoln Casino

For fans of slot games, as well as other online casino games, the best way to up the excitement factor of an already thrilling pastime is to play favorite games in a tournament setting, and Lincoln Casino offers plenty of opportunities to do just that!

Types of Tournaments

Lincoln provides tournament players with three tournament set-ups: Daily, Weekly, and Monthly. Each tournament has its own start and end times and buy-in amount, so be sure to check the tournament page every time you log in to see if there is something that is perfect for you. Daily Tournaments-The Daily Tournaments are short, they use a wide variety of games from the most basic slots to the high-tech bonus games, and they are inexpensive. Lincoln Casino always runs several freeroll tournaments in the Daily Tournament area that have small, fixed prize pools. In addition, there are a number of $2 buy-in tournaments that can mount a pretty generous pot at the end.

Weekly Tournaments-These are focused more on video poker games. Again, the typical buy-in amount is $2. Some of these have fixed prize pools guaranteed by the casino, and others award the total buy-in as the prize pool.

Monthly Tournaments-There are fewer of these, but they are well worth playing. The buy-in amount is typically $5, and the prize pool is either fixed, guaranteed by the casino, or is the total buy-in, variable by how many participants there are. These tournaments can result in some very generous prizes at the end of the play period!

Rules of the Game

When playing tournaments, whether they are slot, table, or card game based, there are a few things that players should be aware of:

1) The Stake-Players buy in to the tournament for a fixed price that may be as little as free or $2, and is rarely more than $5. This buy-in amount is over and above what is used for game-play. Players need to plan for their playing stake-an amount of money sufficient to play for the period of the tournament. Tournament play is dependent upon racking up the highest score in the time allotted, so it is imperative to have a stake sufficient to play the full period. For half-hour slot game tournaments, that is generally not a problem, but if you are signing up for a week of Pai Gow, it may take some budgeting. 2) The Time-Tournaments all have fixed start and end times. It is important to know these times because your play on the specified game does not count towards tournament points until the official start. More importantly, if you hit the big jackpot half a second after the tournament's end time, that is too bad! You still get your game winnings, of course, but the big pot will not count towards your tournament play. 3) Account-Players may only use one account number with which to enter tournaments. One account number allows one entry. Multiple entries by a single player using multiple accounts will result in a forfeit of tournament winnings and all of that player's accounts will be blocked.

Beyond that, tournament play is a simply fantastic way to up the fun quotient on your favorite games! If you are an old hand at tournament play, Lincoln provides plenty of opportunity to indulge your passion, and if you are new to it, there is no better place to start than Lincoln Casino.
