I have played several different tournament games and they have become disappointing confusing. Example: Today’s tournament in Razzle Dazzle. Entry was 250,000 coins. Bet coin total is 2500 for 250 spins. I end up with 667,000 at the end. How on earth are people hitting multi millions? Top 3 were 7mil, 6 mil, 6, mil and looking down at the top ten, lowest is 3 mil. This is confusing as to how are people hitting those numbers? You can’t change the bet total that isn’t the answer. I never even hit free spins during this tournament. In a separate tournament, I hit free spins over and over and reached 37 free spins at one point. Those amounted to nothing. Just like in normal play. What is the trick to this? Today winning 667,000 during my entry and seeing 7million as the #1 top spot is quite the range. Again…how is this happening? ---

The prize pool is calculated by the number of entrants into the tournament. It’s changes over the course of the day as more entrants play in the tournament. ---

This does not answer my question. How are people hitting such high numbers? Jackpot hit? Free spins? It’s not clear to me as to how this is being done. Several different tournaments are the same thing. Millions and millions hit. How? ---

There are no so-called “jackpots” in tournament play. As stated. The prize pool is determined by the number of players entered into the tournaments. Now, in free roll slots, yes there are jackpots and i’m sure many hit them everyday. Suppose you have to get lucky. ---

Just did another tournament. I walked away with a whopping 36K when others in the 100’s of thousands. I just don’t get it. How do I compete with these upper players? ---

LOL I get that “luck” is a part of it. My wife and I visit Mesquite all the time and know how it all works. I’m not trying to cause a stir or anything, I’m just curious how the top dogs hit such big numbers? Is it because of hitting the jackpot symbols? Free spins earning mega? It just is fascinating to me how that is done in the first place? LOL I have managed to hit the low a couple of times. LOL. Hopefully my 677,000 would hit low compared to 7mil but it was top dog only. Gonna keep trying… ![Emoji](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/casinoworld/original/2X/8/891d2f0c34aeb05b779a9369ced798ccdaa4f2e9.png "Emoji") Someone replied to your post. > ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/user_avatar/forum.casinoworld.com/captaincrow/45/715_2.png "CaptainCrow") | [CaptainCrow](https://forum.casinoworld.com/u/captaincrow) > January 12 | > > - | - | Slot machines are just luck my man, get lucky and win, dont get lucky and lose lol.

@DB4LBroncos are you using charms when you play slot tournaments? If other players are using high end charms and you aren’t, that could make a lot of the difference in the scores. ---

I play with charms if I enter a tournament. They replenish my coin total against the stake for the tournament but they don’t add to the ‘winnings’ total that counts toward the tournament competition ---

I didn’t even know you could use charms in a tournament. Not smart on my part for trying. At the same time, I played a few times and never came close to a top score or bottom score. A couple times I was hanging in near the bottom, then all of a sudden the game decided to give me a nice win with just a few spins to go and thus ended up in the middle of the pack. So I personally don’t play anymore. Lose my coins playing a game which might provide me a win. But some players do have more luck which is nature. ---

I actually got 15 free spins once. That added more…then more…top total was 37 free spins! And nothing came of it.

Some (me!) will hit them occasionally and others rarely. This problem covers the whole range of games, from the 50k right up to the 20mil. It is by its ‘nature’ unfair. The only way CW can alleviate the issue is to make ALL tournaments High-Low games. That way a higher ratio of players should see a better chance of winning _something_ rather than being constantly disappointed. ---

Oh my goodness. I’m not saying that at all. Once I got free spins totaling 37 once and got nothing. I know it’s all about luck. Sheesh. My original question is how are people hitting such big numbers. That’s all. Jackpot? Free spins that pay mega? Just curious.

I have won a tournament before and placed in the top 10 a few times. I have also done really poorly in some tournaments. It is to do with luck. Free spins and large wins on spins play a huge part. I would suggest you try the high low tournaments as I have won in the low part of those at times also. Good luck 🙂 ---
