yet again, it's a ridiculously lame format.

you have to win your table to get $15k and advance to the finals.

then at the finals they pay out $350k in a WTA format.

the only part of the tourney that's even partially decent is the "Elite Shootout" which to qualify for you have to have a 400k single trip loss or 800k total loss in the last 12 months.

it's the same format except the winner gets 50k and a finals seat and second place at the table also advances...

- Do you schedule trips around these tournaments? Am I missing out by ignoring them?

- Are slot tournaments really just "mash a button" contests? No strategy?

- Is strategy for a BJ or Bacc tournament common sense? Or is it something a first time player should practice...

The prize is an entry into the Big One for One Drop €1M ($1.2M) tourney. Says you can't get cash or promo chips in exchange although I'm sure you could sell the seat to someone for at least $1M.

It's called get hammered and have fun because I never win anyway haha! ; ) Though, when I get really drunk (or am just have a great time, ok, or am desperate because I'm losing terribly), I use the doggie paddle method.

I finally booked flights today, will hopefully hear back from host that I can still get in....

Anyone ever done one of these? No way I'm paying $5k for the privilege of being in a tournament with only $500 FP guaranteed. :(

$150k total prize pool, $75k first down to $2k for 10th.

the bad news is re-buys and add-ons are available, but it makes no mention of adding those to the prize pool.

and tournament play is actually both days, which means it's just drawn out.

I'm going to try to make it, but with 2 days of tourney play and only 150k total, I don't know if I'll have time.]]> 10 Aria/Bellagio Poker Tournament March 12-13 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 20:01:03 +0000 https://www.vegasboards.com/threads/aria-bellagio-poker-tournament-march-12-13.241/ https://www.vegasboards.com/threads/aria-bellagio-poker-tournament-march-12-13.241/ invalid@example.com (Tellafriend) Tellafriend

Most casino-sponsored slot tournaments are now held on Everi's TournEvent bank of slot machines. That's when they switch out current games and put them all into tournament mode. Then everyone bangs away and winners are automatically posted.

During your 3-minute button mashing session, objects appear onscreen that you touch for additional points.

Some versions of TournEvent also have their...

as usual they complicate the hell out of it. there's a 50k warm-up tourney after registration on Fri night. then there's a bunch of drawings to get moved on. then there's some sort of 30k "Golden Bean Challenge" whatever that is.

I'm going to be in town anyway, so I'll try to make it to this one if it lines up with my schedule.
