VIP Casino Offering Unusual Freerolls

0 Comments   Email   Print

VIP Casino is powered by software from Cryptologic and usually offers freeroll online tournaments in some of the best slot games. However in May it has broken this tradition and has selected some other games for its freeroll tournaments.

One of the games is online craps and the other is online video poker. Though craps is an uncommon game for online tournaments, it has one attractive property. There are a large number of bets available. Some of them have a greater chance of winning but offer modest payouts. Others offer high payouts but win less frequently. If the player has a low chip count and nothing to lose he can test his luck on the more risky bets and hope to catch up. If he is sitting pretty he can keep wagering on the more conservative bets and play safe.

In order to participate in these online freerolls players have to first log in to their "Play for Real" VIP Casino account and click "More Games" in the menu. Both the freerolls will show up and players can select the tournament they want to enter. When they sign up for the tournament they will be credited with $500 worth of tournament chips. In the tournaments players will be given only 10 minutes to wager and therefore need to wager aggressively from the start. VIP Casino reminds players that they are not obliged to wager for the full 10 minutes. They can continuously check their rankings on the leader board at the right hand side of the tournament screen. If they feel that they have accumulated a sufficient chip balance it may be prudent to exit the tournament rather than risk their chip balance.

All money won in the tournament is play money. The players will only be entitled to the prize money if they break into the prize pool. The prize pool for each freeroll online tournament is $1,000. The player who tops the leader board will win $400. The player who comes in second will win $200. The players in the 3rd to the 22nd places will win $20 each. Considering that there is no entry fee for the tournaments these prizes are quite attractive. The prizes will be credited to the winning players’ accounts within 10 minutes of the tournament finishing. If two players tie, the top prizes will be split between them.

VIP Casino was launched in 1999 and has the same ownership as InterCasino, which is the first online casino. VIP Casino has been licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta.
