Roulette masters 2015 winner announced

The thrilling finale followed eight weeks of qualifying and semi-final rounds at all of Tsogo Sun’s 14 casinos and saw 40 finalists from across the country travel to Johannesburg to fight for the Roulette Masters title.

“The response to the tournament countrywide was phenomenal,” said Steve Hight, director of gaming at Tsogo Sun.

“Thousands of roulette enthusiasts arrived at our casinos to buy-in for the chance to turn R100 into over R1 million – and as a direct result of the remarkable buy-ins by Tsogo Sun patrons, the total prize pool increased from an initial amount of R1.7 million to R2.82 million within eight weeks, taking the already high stakes of the second annual tournament to a record level.”

The total amount given away over the course of the tournament amounted to R3.27 million, of which R2.82 million was shared between the top seven finalists on 28 March.

The balance was shared among the top finishers across each casino over the course of the tournament’s qualifying and semi-final rounds. The eventual seven finalists were drawn from around the country, with first and sixth place going to Montecasino patrons.

Montecasino was a hub of excitement as the finalists fought for the top spot over 10 heats. The 40 finalists were quickly whittled down to the top few scorers, and after a few more nail-biting rounds, Singh came out tops once again.

Glenn Joseph, general manager of Montecasino said, “We are honoured to have been selected to host the final of the Roulette Masters tournament for this year. There was an electrifying atmosphere in the casino as the finalists took to the tables and it’s times like this that bring the essence of gaming to life. It’s all about fun, thrills and entertainment; and that is certainly what the players and spectators experienced at Montecasino for the grand finale.”
