TSOGO Sun’s big-prize Roulette Masters tournament is fast becoming a hot favourite among thrill-seekers, and launched for the third time on January 11 across the group’s 14 casinos – with total minimum prizes valued at a whopping R2.5-million and a guaranteed first prize of R1.5-million.
“We’ve seen consistent growth in participation and enthusiasm for this tournament in all 14 of our casinos, with each year seeing an increase in the prize money as a result of unprecedented buy-ins by roulette enthusiasts. The adrenaline-pumping semi-final and final stages make this a particularly exciting tournament, when so much rides on every spin of the wheel,” said Steve Hight, Tsogo Sun’s director of gaming.
Qualifying rounds will take place at the respective casinos – Montecasino, Gold Reef City and Silverstar in Gauteng; SunCoast, Golden Horse and Blackrock in KZN; The Caledon, Garden Route and Mykonos in the Western Cape; Emnotweni and The Ridge in Mpumalanga; Hemingways and Queens Casino in the Eastern Cape; and Goldfields in the Free State – until March 3. The tournament culminates in the unit finals happening on March 5, followed by the group semi-finals and grand finale at Silverstar on March 19.
At each casino, a maximum of five players at a time will constitute a heat and after buy-in, each player will receive their chips and be given three spins. At the end of the three spins the chips will be totalled and qualifying entries will be made onto the leader board, which will display the top 21 players.
