R1.7 million up for grabs

There is a staggering R1.7-million to be won in Tsogo Sun’s first-ever nationwide Roulette Masters Tournament which kicked off on January 13.

With R1-million guaranteed to the ultimate winner, the stakes are high. Local roulette enthusiasts can put themselves in the running by participating in the qualifying rounds at Blackrock Casino between January 13 and March 12. Qualifying heats will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays between 7pm and 9pm.

Buy-in is R100 and there is no limit to the number of qualifying heats participants enter. Cardholders have an option of also redeeming their points for buy-ins.

Those keen to take part but would like to brush-up on their Roulette skills can sign-up for free training at the casino between 5pm and 6pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Blackrock Casino will host its semi-final and final events on Saturday, March 15 to determine who goes through to the national finals on March 29 at Gold Reef City Casino, where a minimum of R1.7 million in prize money and a guaranteed first prize of R1 million will be won.

At the end of the nine-week qualifying period, the player with the highest chip winnings from a single buy-in will automatically qualify for a seat in the casino finals and the next 20 players will play off for the remaining six seats in the casino finals.

“We are thrilled to announce Tsogo Sun’s first national Roulette Masters Tournament and to give local Roulette players a chance to be part of it. With over R1.7-million in prize money to be won, it is certainly the biggest Roulette tournament to ever be hosted on a national scale and we wish everyone luck,” said Blackrock Casino’s Marketing Manager, Veneshrie Chetty.

The tournament is open to everyone over the age of 18, cardholders and non-cardholders. For more information, call 034 328 1777 or visit blackrockcasino.co.za
