Tournaments at Mr Vegas Casino

Mr Vegas Casino runs a rotating schedule of slot tournaments through its Encore system, open to registered players aged 18 and over. Prize pools vary by event and are shown in the Encore lobby before entry, alongside free spins, cash prizes and tickets into further Encore tournaments. United Kingdom players taking part compete on the same leaderboards as everyone else, with rounds running on fixed weekly schedules.

How Tournaments Work

Entry into an Encore tournament happens through the Encore lobby, where the current prize pool, game list and entry condition for that event are displayed before you commit. Points and placement are decided by performance within the tournament's own rules: Sit & Go events start once a minimum player count registers, scheduled events give every participant a fixed number of spins, and some formats allow extra spins to be purchased during play.

Tournaments fall into several categories. Normal Encore events run on a buy-in basis with prize pools set per event. Guaranteed Encore events carry a minimum prize pool that grows as more players buy in. Freeroll Encore events charge no entry fee at all, with prizes varying by event. Re-Buy Encore events let you purchase additional spins during the round, and within that category, Freezeout limits you to one buy-in while Wild West permits up to 25 re-buys per player. A Joker feature can apply: a player who pre-registers may be selected as the Joker, and if the Joker wins the event, the prize for that win is doubled.

Our Tournaments

Three named weekly events run on fixed schedules, alongside a set of additional Encore formats and jackpot-linked prize drops.

Encore Splash

Encore Splash is a Sit & Go slot tournament held every Friday from 17:00 to 20:59 GMT. Rounds last 12 minutes each, and the game selection rotates across 8 games, changing every hour, so a player entering at 17:00 and one entering at 19:00 face a different set of games within the same event. Prizes include free spins, cash prizes and tickets into other Encore tournaments. The prize pool varies by individual Encore event and is displayed in the Encore lobby before entry, rather than fixed in advance. With four hourly game rotations across the four-hour window, a player could see the full 8-game rotation pass twice over the course of the event.

Encore Mania

Encore Mania is a scheduled slot tournament held every Monday. Each participant receives exactly 100 spins to build their result, a flat allocation that removes any advantage from buying extra rounds, unlike Re-Buy Encore formats elsewhere in the schedule. Prizes include free spins, cash prizes and Encore tickets, and the prize pool varies by event, shown in the Encore lobby. Compared with Encore Splash's rotating 8-game, hourly-changing format, Encore Mania gives every player an identical, fixed spin count on a single day of the week, making it a more predictable format for players who prefer one consistent session over several rotating ones.

Encore Blast

Encore Blast is a Sit & Go slot tournament scheduled every Tuesday from 18:00 to 22:00 GMT. The round only starts once 15 players have registered, a start condition shared with no other named event in the schedule. Prizes consist of entry tickets to other Encore tournaments, plus event-specific rewards, and the prize pool varies by event. Where Encore Splash runs regardless of headcount within its time window, Encore Blast depends on reaching its 15-player threshold before play can begin, making registration timing part of the strategy for this event.

Additional Encore Tournament Formats

Several further Encore formats share the same tournament engine but differ in entry structure rather than carrying individual prize pools of their own.

Normal Encore tournaments run on a buy-in basis, with prize pools set per event.
Guaranteed Encore tournaments carry a guaranteed minimum prize pool that increases as more players buy in, giving a floor below which the pool cannot fall.
Freeroll Encore tournaments charge no entry fee, with prizes varying by event.
Re-Buy Encore tournaments allow additional spins to be purchased during eligible rounds, within limits set by the specific format: Freezeout permits one buy-in only, while Wild West allows up to 25 re-buys per player, 25 times the single buy-in cap of Freezeout.

Prize Drops and Jackpots

Alongside scheduled tournaments, Mr Vegas Casino runs jackpot-style prize drops that pay independently of leaderboard placement.

Daily Drops guarantee that a progressive jackpot prize drops within its specified daily period, with exact prize amounts varying by game.
Dream Drop runs five progressive jackpot levels; the Mega level starts at SEK 10,000,000 and can climb as high as SEK 100,000,000, ten times its starting value.
Mr Vegas Local Jackpots run four levels from Mini to Grand, with Grand prizes reaching several hundred thousand SEK, a far smaller ceiling than Dream Drop's Mega level.

Prizes in Detail

Prizes across the Encore schedule take the form of free spins, cash prizes and tickets into further Encore tournaments, rather than a single fixed payout type applied to every event. Cash prizes sit alongside tickets that carry forward into other tournaments, meaning a result in one event can convert directly into entry for another without a further buy-in.

Exact amounts are never fixed site-wide: each Encore event's prize pool is dynamic and appears in the tournament lobby before you enter, covering Encore Splash, Encore Mania, Encore Blast and the broader Normal, Guaranteed, Freeroll and Re-Buy categories alike. Jackpot-style prizes work differently again. Daily Drops guarantee a payout within a set daily window regardless of tournament leaderboard standing, while Dream Drop and Mr Vegas Local Jackpots pay out at fixed tiers, from the Mega level's SEK 10,000,000 to SEK 100,000,000 range down to Local Jackpot Grand prizes in the hundreds of thousands of SEK.

Rules That Decide the Result

Entry conditions differ by format: Sit & Go events such as Encore Blast require 15 registered players before the round starts, while scheduled events such as Encore Mania begin regardless of headcount.
Spin allocation is fixed in some formats, with Encore Mania giving exactly 100 spins per participant, while Re-Buy Encore formats allow further spins to be purchased during play.
Re-buy limits apply per format: Freezeout allows one buy-in only, Wild West allows up to 25.
The Joker feature doubles the prize on a win, but only for a player who pre-registered and was selected as the Joker before the round began.

Comparing Tournaments

The three named weekly events differ in type, schedule and start condition, though none publishes a single fixed prize figure outside the Encore lobby.

Tournament	Type	Prize Pool	Period
Encore Splash	Sit & Go slot tournament	Varies by event, shown in lobby	Every Friday, 17:00–20:59 GMT
Encore Mania	Scheduled slot tournament	Varies by event, shown in lobby	Every Monday
Encore Blast	Sit & Go slot tournament	Varies by event, shown in lobby	Every Tuesday, 18:00–22:00 GMT, starts at 15 players

Encore Splash and Encore Blast share the Sit & Go format, but only Encore Blast carries a fixed registration threshold of 15 players before the round begins.

Choosing a Tournament

Players who want a short, fast-moving session with changing games should look at Encore Splash, where 12-minute rounds and an 8-game rotation refresh every hour across its Friday window. Those who prefer one predictable allocation rather than a rotating format fit better with Encore Mania, where every participant gets exactly 100 spins on a single Monday session. Encore Blast suits players comfortable waiting for a 15-player threshold in exchange for tickets into further Encore tournaments rather than a direct cash pool. Players drawn to re-buy strategy should compare Freezeout's single buy-in against Wild West's 25-re-buy ceiling before choosing. United Kingdom players weighing these formats can check each event's live prize pool in the Encore lobby before entering.
