Tournaments — how it works
Free-to-play leaderboard races. You get a stack of tournament chips, play the featured slots, and every win adds to your score. No money enters this system at any point — no deposits, no purchases, no real-money wagering. Chips, tickets and refills are covered by points you earn on the site, and prizes are paid in CP to your Search-Casino balance.
- Join and get chips. The weekly race is the format running now: a 75-chip stack and a 6,000 CP pool split across 30 places. Two-day sprints (50 chips, 2,500 CP) and monthly marathons (100 chips, 25,000 CP across 50 places) are planned.
- Play the tournament pool. Only the featured games count; the current pool is 20-payline slots.
- Points come from wins only. Every time your chip balance goes up, that increase is added to your score. Losses never subtract.
- Chip refills extend your run, not your score. They add chips, never points.
- Two ways to keep playing. Running low but still have chips? A Chip Refill tops them up and your score is untouched. Down to zero? A ticket starts a fresh run: you get the starting stack back and keep the score you have already earned, so a bad run costs you chips, never points.
- Prizes reach past the podium. In the current weekly round the first place takes 1,110 CP, but places 21–30 still receive 60 CP each — finishing mid-table pays.
- You need at least one point. Joining without playing does not qualify for a prize place.
CP (Coin Points) — the reward currency of tournaments and verified casino quests. CP can be exchanged from your profile (Exchange CP), subject to the minimum shown there.
Tournaments history
How Search-Casino tournaments work — and how they differ from casino tournaments
Most «casino tournament» pages describe something you play with your own money at an operator. Ours is not that, and the difference is absolute: no money enters our system at any stage. There is no deposit, no purchase, no top-up and no wager. Everything that costs something here — a re-entry ticket, a chip refill — is paid for with Quest Points earned by playing on the site, and the reward is CP, our internal points. We are a review site, not an operator: we do not take bets and we do not hold player funds.
Three formats at a glance
The shorter the format, the more one lucky streak matters; the longer it runs, the more consistency wins.
What you actually compete for
Every tournament has a prize pool split across 30 places. In a 6,000 CP weekly round the first place takes 1,110 CP, second 738, third 507, and the tail from 21st to 30th receives 60 CP each — so finishing outside the podium still pays. The exact split is shown on each tournament page, because the pool differs by format.
How scoring differs from real-money play
In a casino, the house edge decides your session. Here your score is accumulated net winnings inside the game client — only increases count, and a losing spin costs chips but never points. That inverts the usual logic: variance is your friend, because one large hit lifts the score permanently, while a bad streak only shortens your run.
Chips, tickets and refills
Chips are your plays and they run out. A refill adds chips and nothing else: your score stays exactly where it was. A ticket is a full re-entry: you get the starting stack back and your score carries over, so a spent run costs you chips and a ticket, never points. In practice the choice is simple — refill while you still have chips to play with, and keep tickets for runs that are already over.
- Chip Refill — adds 50 or 120 chips to what you have left; never touches your score.
- Re-entry ticket — restores the full starting stack when your chips run out; your score stays.
- Both cost Quest Points, and QP are earned in the Arena, never bought. There is no payment step anywhere in this system.
Chips never carry over between tournaments: every round starts everyone from the same stack.
Why we run them at all
A leaderboard race is the honest part of gambling — competition, pace, a scoreboard — with the part that costs money removed. It is also how we keep the site useful between reviews: the same games you can read about here, played for a score rather than a balance.
