I am going to take a break this week from writing up specific online slots tournaments and take a post to talk about some differences in freeroll slots tournaments.

Freeroll tournaments are a favorite among online slots players, be they experienced online slots players or novices. After all, who would not want to partake of something that is free? And that is what freerolls offer up to slots players.

But not all freerolls were created equal. And there is a bit of bankroll management that can be applied to freeroll tournaments.

For starters, freeroll tournaments are pretty simple to understand. Slots players with existing player accounts need only register for the freeroll and then start playing the designated slots game once the tournament opens. But freerolls generally only give players a small amount of tournament credits to play with—after all the online casino does want to make some money. Their hope is that players will spin through their free tournament credits and then pay the rebuy fee for more credits to keep playing. That is how they make their money.

Typically slots players will play until they run out of free credits; they are only playing for a lark because it is a free tournament. While some will continue to rebuy for their shot at rocketing up the leader board, many will call it quits when the free credits are gone. And that is where the trick of bankroll management comes in. Slots players are not obligated to put money into a free tournament—or put more into a tournament they paid to enter.

Freerolls are generally perceived as for fun type tournament. Unless you really want the Bonus Bucks or smaller cash prize, just play a freeroll tournament for fun, enjoy the experience, or even use the experience in getting your feet wet for future tournament play.

Other than New Year’s there are no other major holidays in the month of January. But that is not stopping Slots Galore from hosting a month long online slots tournament in which they are giving away $25,000.

Slots Galore is calling this online slots tournament the Frozen Assets tournament. And really when you think about it, that is a highly appropriate title for this online slots tournament—after all the majority of the country has spent January with colder than normal weather temperatures.

The Frozen Assets online slots tournament began back on January 1st and will continue to run through February 1st. Players can enter this online slots tournament by registering at Slots Galore and paying the $10 entry fee. That $10 entry fee gives each player a starting tournament balance of $250 to use to spin the reels in an effort to rank on the leader board and win a portion of that $25,000 prize pool, although some of the smaller prize amounts will be awarded to multiple players:

1st place: $7,500
2nd place: $5,000
3rd place: $1,500
4th place: $1,000
5th place: $750
6th place: $500
7th place: $100
8th place: $50
9th place: $25

Every single prize awarded in the Frozen Assets online slots tournament is a cash prize, not a bonus money prize.

Players in this online slots tournament will be spinning the reels out on the Vegas Technology slots game Beat the Bank. This is five reel slots game with twenty paylines with a theme about breaking into and successfully robbing a bank.

There is still time to head over to Slots Galore and register for the Frozen Assets online slots tournament as it will continue until 12:00 am on February 1st.

I love free. When it comes to money, free is even better. And Online Vegas is putting the two together in its big online slots tournament this month.

They are calling it the Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll and it is just as it sounds. Players will have the opportunity to spin the reels to try to claim a piece of that $20,000 cash prize pool. Now I know if you were looking at the tournament calendar at Online Vegas you would see that the weekend tournaments are offing a prize pool of $30,000, which is less than this tournament—so why is the $20,000 tournament the main event of the month?

Quite simple. It is a freeroll. Players do nothing more than register to play in it. The $30,000 prize pool tournaments being offered all carry a $10 entry fee.

And what is more is that freeroll tournaments will typically only offer bonus money; Online Vegas’ bonus money is called Bonus Bucks. But in this freeroll online slots tournament players can actually win cash. Between this being a free tournament and actually offering cash to the players who wind up in the top several places on the leader board—that is what makes this the tournament event of the month.

And to further enforce the party type celebration, the online slots game being used for this tournament is Vegas Technology’s La Fiesta, a five reel slots game with twenty five paylines of play.

All players who register to play in this freeroll will start out with 75 tournament credits for free. For any player who crosses the low balance threshold, rebuys are available for $6.99 to recharge the low tournament balance.

Free entry and a chance to win a piece of the $20,000 cash prize, it really does make the Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll the main event at Online Vegas this month. Not too bad of a start for January.

To help celebrate the New Year and to help some lucky online slots players kick off the New Year with some extra money, Go Casino is hosting a freeroll online slots tournament this month.

Players will have the chance to win a portion of the $20,000 prize pool and all without paying an entry fee. The Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll begins at 10:30 pm on Monday, January 17th. From 10:30 pm on that Monday and for the next five days, players will be spinning the reels of the five reel Vegas Technology online slots game known as La Fiesta. I guess the party did not end with the ball dropping.

Once the Mid-January Freeroll begins players have until 10:30 pm on Friday, January 21st to climb the leader board and to claim a place with a cash prize. All players have to do is register for the correct tournaments. They will then start out with seventy five tournament credits for this freeroll online slots tournament. If anyone is unfortunate enough to run low on their tournament balance and cross the low balance threshold, rebuys are available for $6.99.

As far as freeroll online slots tournaments go, this one is one of the few that pop up that give slots players a chance to win real money. Typically freerolls only allow players the opportunity to win bonus money, which can only be used at that online casino. But the Mid-January $20,000 Guaranteed Freeroll at Go Casino is giving online slots players to win cash, which makes this a fun chance to spin the reels.
