Master roulette at Monte
JOBURG - Tsogo Sun's second Roulette Masters tournament launched on 19 January at all 14 of the group's casinos nationwide, including Montecasino.
Tsogo Sun’s first ever Roulette Masters took place early last year and attracted 29 222 buy-ins, reaching an eventual prize pool of R2.9 million. “We believe this year’s Roulette Masters will be even bigger and better as it’s now a known entity that delivers on its promise of thrills and great rewards,” said Steve Hight, director of gaming for Tsogo Sun.
The eight week tournament will run from 19 January through to 28 March, with individual casino qualifying rounds running until 13 March and casino finals to be held on 14 March. The Masters will culminate in style with the grand final at Montecasino on 28 March, where a minimum of R1.7 million in prize money will be won by lucky wheel spinners.
Qualifying rounds in the Roulette Masters will be played at each of Tsogo Sun’s 14 casinos with between one to five players constituting a heat. After buying in, each player receives chips and must play every spin. Players will be given three spins, at the end of three spins, the chips remaining will be added up and scores will be entered onto the leader board. Players can enter as often as they like.
At the end of the qualifying period, the player with the highest chip winnings from a single buy-in will automatically qualify for a seat in the group semi-finals, and the next 20 players will play-off for the remaining six seats in the casino finals. The top scorers from each property as per the unit’s allocation will earn a place at the grand final at Montecasino, totalling 40 players.
