CTournEvent of Champions®: The Million Dollar Event®
asino slot tournaments are fun, thrilling events that casino players love. And there’s nothing to compare with Everi’s TournEvent of Champions® that we feature this month, and are proud to sponsor again this year. Now in its seventh year, the slot tournament phenomenon searches for
the Best Slot Tournament Player in North America in The Million Dollar Event®. Over $1.4 million is up for grabs in the National TournEvent of Champions in Las Vegas in October. With Everi’s TournEvent system casinos can hold slot tournaments with ease, using banks of slots already on the casino floor with built-in electronic tote boards and personalized video screens for players in tournament rounds. Even the Spin button no longer reigns supreme, as players now focus on on-screen special ways that can elevate their scores in an instant. Find out where and when you can play in qualifying tournaments at participating casinos throughout California so you can be a California casino representative and a chance at the $1,000,000 top prize. Our TournEvent of Champions feature begins on page 16.
