When you got the offer it would have stated a monetary amount if there were an entry fee.

You usuall check in for the tournament one day, play 2 sessions the next, 1 the day after that and the finale party is held later that same afternoon/evening when the announce the prize winners. Each session only lasts about 10 min but with having to get there a few min early etc, allow 30 min per session.

Hi- if you are invited to participate in a slot tourney there should not be an entry fee.(at least I have never had to pay to enter)-.

Your room is comped but they will look at your play while you are there.

The tournament will most likely consist of a few sessions. You%26#39;ll sign up and play at your assigned times. In the past I played in three sessions and the combined scores were added to see who the highest scoring players were. Depending on the prize structure you might win something. (I never scored high enough to win anything more then $100 in freplay)

The Monte Carlo also would host a banquet dinner after the last night of the tournament(typically the tournaments ran from Thurs to Sat afternoon and the dinner was Sat night)We always had a nice time at the dinners and enjoyed meeting other couples.

Good luck!

those casino slot tourney offers are free? Are the rooms comped too? I used to get them in the mail a few years ago, I did not realize that the offers were free, but there was definitley no price on them.

so if the sessions are short, that means during that time i have to see how many credits i can get with money out of my pocket? or are the machines already programed with credits to play?

No, you don%26#39;t pay a thing!! The machines for tournaments are programmed to %26#39;hit%26#39; continually. You don%26#39;t win money on them at all, you get points each session for the hits you%26#39;ve made and the value of those hits. Your scores from each session are added together to get your total score.

I see.

thanks Gabby!

Go and enjoy, they%26#39;re fun!

I played in a tournament at Bellagio in Sept of %26#39;07. They usually hold the tournaments in one of the hotel ballrooms. They have bars set up, serve a light breakfast buffet in the AM, a lunch at lunchtime and then hors dourves late in the afternoon until the sessions are done for that day. You can go there anytime you want, not just when you play to enjoy the food/drinks.

Would this be handled differently HET vs. MGM? We received a tourney invite, but it lists a food credit. They hold a dinner and offer more free food?

I just returned from a slot tournament at the Venetian. Not all slot tournaments are the same. The room was comped but the tournament consisted of 2 five minute sessions. There was no food or drink at anytime. The awards were presented at Tao night club with light ordourves. When I went to the Wynn they had 3- 10 minute sessions in a beautifully decorated ballroom. There was food morning, noon, and night. The Wynn%26#39;s was by far the best. Their rooms were also comped.
