All CASH prizes require paperwork at the tournament arena and will be issued in person at the cashier’s cage. All FREEPLAY winnings will be added to the winner’s MGM Rewards accounts after the awards posting.Once all participants play and final rankings are recorded participants will return to the tournament arena for the awards ceremony or check online for the winners’ standings.Participants are welcome to stay in the tournament area and watch the event.At the end of each session play, individual scores are recorded. Depending on the play format the players may get a small break, change to the next assigned machine, and play again.When the tournament timer begins, everyone in the session hits the “spin reels” button and/or the “bonus pop-ups” on their machine and plays for the duration of the countdown.Players sit at the machines they were randomly assigned during tournament registration.Once at the tournament arena, the emcee will announce when it’s time for each session time group to enter the designated play area.The player will receive an email or may check the tournament webpage to see what times they were assigned, what machine number, and where tournament play will take place. Players are assigned specific times to play called “session times” during a virtual tournament registration prior to hotel arrival.

Many tournament formats give players a chance to “toss out” a low score! The scores for all the rounds of tournament play are totaled to determine the player’s overall tournament rankings.The total credit meter on the machine at the end of the play is the player’s score for that round.The more bonus features, winning combinations on the reels, and the more spins completed within the countdown, the greater the chances of a high score.All participants will have the same countdown timers for all rounds of play. Countdown timers range from 3-minutes to 15-minutes, depending on the tournament format.Tournament machines may also have bonus features that players may activate during play. Players are given unlimited “max bet” spins to play during the countdown. Tournament machines are set on a countdown timer for each round of play.

Tournament machines are just like live money slot machines played on the casino floor, but tournament machines are set into “tournament mode,” so that players will not put any money into a tournament machine or take any money out of it.

In a slot tournament, players compete against each other to win large CASH or FREEPLAY® prizes by accumulating the highest score during multiple rounds of tournament play.
