Yako Casino Increases Prizepool and Time Limit on the Latest Slots Race Tournament
Yako Casino’s 200% Tournament March + April = True! was underway, with an extra month for participants to play and a further £/€/$ 2,000 in prizes added to the pool.
Running from 1 March until 30 April, the event gave players who had yet to enter over fifty-five days to collect points and improve their leaderboard position. The first-place prize was €/£/$ 2,000 or 20,000 ZAR/KR.
To qualify, players had to be from the UK, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Austria, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Finland or India, and have verified a Yako Casino account.
Eligible players who had made at least one confirmed real-money deposit entered the race by wagering a minimum of €/£/$ 1 or 10 ZAR/KR on each spin of any of the seventeen designated video slot games. The selection came from Blueprint Gaming, Bit Time Gaming, Thunderkick, NetEnt, Blueprint Gaming, and Amatic.
The listed titles included Beat the Beast: Kraken’s Lair, Book of Pharao, Crystal Fruits, Fruit Box, Hit it Hard, Jagar’s Superslot, Ocean’s Treasure, Pirates' Frenzy, Rick and Morty Megaways, Rise of Maya, Royal Mint, Secret of the Stones MAX, Serengeti Kings, Super Cats, Sweet Success Megaways, Sword of Khans, and Tiger Rush.
Players accumulated points on the selected slots, with higher wagers moving them up the standings. The casino capped each spin at €/£/$ 5 or 500 ZAR/KR to limit the effect of high rollers. A payout position also required at least 100 spins.
