Have you got what it takes to be the next roulette master?
Tsogo Sun launched its second Roulette Masters tournament on January 19, 2015.
With a guaranteed R1-million up for grabs, the excitement and anticipation were overwhelming.
The first ever Roulette Masters took place early in 2014 and attracted 29 222 buy-ins, exceeding expectations and reaching an eventual prize pool of R2,9-million.
“We believe this year’s Roulette Masters will be even bigger and better as it’s now a known entity that delivers on its promise of thrills and great rewards,” said Director of Gaming for Tsogo Sun, Steve Hight.
The buy-in price of only R100 makes the tournament affordable fun for everyone.
The eight-week tournament will run from January 19 to March 28, with individual casino qualifying rounds running until March 13. Casino finals will be held on March 14.
The players will culminate in style at the grand final at Montecasino on March 28, with a minimum of R1,7-million in prize money to be won by those with the odds in their favour.
Qualifying rounds in the Roulette Masters tournament will be played at each of Tsogo Sun’s 14 casinos, with between one to five players constituting a heat.
After buying in, each player will receive chips and must play every spin. Players will be given three spins and at the end of the spins, the remaining chips will be totalled. Thereafter the scores will be entered onto the leader board. Players can enter as often as they like.
At the end of the qualifying period, the player with the highest chip winnings from a single buy-in will automatically qualify for a seat in the group semi-finals. The next 20 players will play off for the remaining six seats in the casino finals. The top scorers from each property as per the unit’s allocation will earn a place at the grand final at Montecasino, totalling 40 players.
The semi-finals round of the grand final will bring the number of finalists down to seven. These players will then each have seven spins, with the overall winner being the player with the highest total value in chips at the end of the seven spins. All seven finalists will take home cash prizes of varying values.
“As with all Tsogo Sun’s group-wide tournaments, every cent of the buy-ins is allocated towards the eventual prize money, so the eventual prize money may increase, depending on the number of buy-ins over the nine week tournament,” explained Mr Hight.
“This Roulette Masters competition will be a highlight on the entertainment calendar as the fun and thrills go on for many weeks and the prize money at the end of the tournament is well worth the wait. Our casinos are all ready and waiting to welcome Roulette lovers to the tournament and ensure that they have a great experience on the gaming floor.”
