Yako Casino Raises Prize Pool and Extends Time Limit for Its Latest Slots Race Tournament
Yako Casino’s 200% Tournament March + April = True! was in progress, giving players an extra month to compete and adding another £/€/$ 2,000 to the prize pool.
The tournament ran from 1 March through 30 April, leaving players who had not yet joined more than fifty-five days to earn points and climb the leaderboard. First place offered €/£/$ 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 verify a Yako Casino account.
Eligible players needed at least one confirmed real-money deposit to enter the race. They could then wager at least €/£/$ 1 or 10 ZAR/KR per spin on any of the seventeen designated video slot games. The games came from Blueprint Gaming, Bit Time Gaming, Thunderkick, NetEnt, Blueprint Gaming, and Amatic.
The 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 earned points on the selected slots, with larger wagers advancing their leaderboard position. To limit the impact of high rollers, the casino capped wagers at €/£/$ 5 or 500 ZAR/KR per spin. Players also needed at least 100 spins to qualify for a payout position.
