Themed tournaments on pirate slots

1. Introduction

Tournaments add a competitive element to the classic gameplay: players do not just rotate the drums, but fight in a sea regatta for prize chests. Themed tournaments on pirate slots enhance the entourage of adventure, uniting fans of the genre and stimulating activity.

2. Tournament formats

1. By maximum win in the session. The player who collects the largest amount of winnings multiplied by the bet in the tournament wins.

2. By the number of spins with a bonus. Participants earn points for each activated bonus round (freespins, sea battle).

3. By the total number of bets. Attracts high rollers: the more total bets made, the higher the place in the table.

4. Team battles. Players are divided into crews; tournament rating consists of activity and team wins.

3. Structure and key elements
