Come try your luck
There is a staggering R1.7-million to be won in Tsogo Sun’s first-ever nationwide Roulette Masters Tournament.
The tournament kicked off on January 13, and was welcomed very warmly by The Ridge patrons. With R1-million guaranteed to the ultimate winner, the stakes are high.
eMalahleni’s roulette enthusiasts can put themselves in the running, by participating in the qualifying rounds at The Ridge Casino daily, until March 14. Heat sessions take place from between 12:00 and 16:00 and 18:00 and 22:00. Buy-in is just R100 and there is no limit to the number of heats players enter.
The Ridge Casino will host its semi-final and final events on March 15, to determine three finalists who will go 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.
“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 up to R1.7 million in prize money to be won, it is the biggest roulette tournament to ever be hosted on a national scale and we wish everyone luck,” said The Ridge Casino’s Marketing Manager, Ms Thapelo Modise.
Every week for nine weeks, roulette heats will be held at 14 Tsogo Sun casinos, with between one to five players constituting a heat. After buying in, each player receives chips and must play every spin. Players will be given three spins of 90 seconds each and at the end of three spins, the chips remaining will be totalled and scores will be entered onto the leader board.
Players can enter as often as they like, especially if they don’t make the leader board, or feel their present score is too close to the qualification cut off level.
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.
Only seven, the six top players from the semi-final round and the top player from the qualifying period, will compete for the first prize of R20 000 in cash, the title of The Ridge Casino’s Roulette Master 2014, and an opportunity to go to Johannesburg for the grand finale accompanied by two runner ups.
The tournament is open to everyone over the age of 18. People can register to participate at The Ridge Casino’s Club Desk. There is no need to be a club member to participate in the tournament.
