The stakes in Tsogo Sun’s first-ever nationwide Slots Factor Tournament have been raised to a whopping R1.1-million – guaranteed to the ultimate winner of the competition. The top ten scorers at the national finals will also get a share of an impressive R1.4-million, bringing the grand total to be won to a substantial R1.8-million.

Qualifying rounds have been running at all 14 of Tsogo Sun’s casinos since the middle of July. Slots enthusiasts who are keen to put themselves in line to win a million rand have until the week of the 7th of September to buy into the tournament at their closest Tsogo Sun Casino. Buy-in is just R100 and people can enter as many times as they like, limited to one seat per heat.

The participating casinos include Silverstar Casino (Johannesburg); Garden Route Casino (Mossel Bay); Goldfields Casino (Welkom); Blackrock Casino (Newcastle); Emnotweni Casino (Nelspruit); The Ridge Casino (Witbank); Mykonos Casino (Langebaan); Suncoast Casino (Durban); Hemingways Casino (East London); The Caledon Casino (Caledon); Golden Horse Casino (Pietermaritzburg); Gold Reef City (Johannesburg), Queens Casino (Queenstown) and Montecasino (Fourways).

The top credit earners in the qualifying rounds are set to compete in the semi-finals taking place at each property in the week of the 14th of September. The highest scorers from each of the casinos will be treated to a trip to Johannesburg to compete in the national competition. The finalists and their partners will stay at a luxury Southern Sun hotel and the final event will take place at the vibrant Montecasino on the 21st of September when someone will walk away with over a million.

According to Steve Hight, Director of Gaming at Tsogo Sun, the stakes have been raised due to the overwhelming response to the tournament.

“Being our first-ever national slots competition, we are thrilled with the response to The Slots Factor. Players have showed up in their droves at our casinos to buy-in and each week, semi-finalists are being added to the ranks. We look forward to the semi-finals when the top scorers at each casino will be announced.

“The final competition at Montecasino promises to be an exciting and fun-filled event. Never before have we awarded such a high bounty in a single slots tournament.”
