Back in April there was a disagreement between Real Time Gaming and 21Gnet, the provider for Real Time’s tournaments. The disagreement was settled by Real Time and 21Gnet severing their working relationship, and Real Time was left to find a new tournament provider. The cost of this disagreement was the online blackjack tournaments at Rushmore Casino.

But online slots players had nothing but good things to say about the switch in tournament providers as it ushered in a new tournament era at Rushmore: the online slots tournament era.

That is right, Rushmore now offers online slots tournaments to their players. They are just still getting their wings off the ground with it though, and are only offering three types of daily online slots tournaments:

The first is called Loose Caboose and is the least expensive of Rushmore’s new online slots tournaments. Players register for Loose Caboose for $1.10. From that entry fee, $1 goes into the pot to be won by a player, and the $0.10 goes to Rushmore.

The Momma Bear-sized Rushmore slots tournament is called Crystal Waters. Players can enter this tournament for $5.50. Similar to Loose Caboose, $5 goes into the pot and the remaining $0.50 goes to Rushmore.

The biggest online slots tournament offered to players is called Texan Tycoon. This one costs $11 to play in, with $10 going into the prize pool and $1 being held onto by Rushmore.

All three of these online slots tournaments are offered on a rotation, with one starting at the top of each hour and the next starting on the next hour all day.

Each tournament is played out on the online slots game that it is named for and all were created by Real Time Gaming.

Upon registering, a player is given 10,000 tournament credits and have ten minutes to play with their credits. They can play their ten minutes at any time during the four hour tournament. Whoever carries the highest tournament balance at the end of the four hours receives a portion of the prize pool.

The more players there are the larger the prize pool goes. Right now the tournaments are very small with maybe a dozen players at most, but this can be owed to the fact that these are new online slots tournaments at an online casino that did not used to host slots tournaments. So I guess we shall have to see how the Rushmore online slots tournaments turn out over the next several months.
