The Meadows to Host $10,000 Slot Tournament

After hosting the first-ever slot tournament in Pennsylvania,  announced it will host a $10,000 Slot Tournament on Jan. 21—and it is open to the general public. 

Participants must be 21 years of age and a valid member of The Meadows Players Club. Players Club members who earn 500 base points from January 1-20 will qualify to enter. 

The Jan. 21 event will take place from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. 

The first-place prize will include $3,000 in Slot FreePlay. There will be 11 winners in total, including a prize for lowest score.

Slot tournaments provide a competitive atmosphere and allow for patrons to accumulate as many credits as possible in a designated period of time, organizers said.

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board authorized slot tournaments in 2010.  However, modifications had to be made to the slot machines to meet regulatory requirements. The Meadows currently has 28 machines in operation.

Editor's Note: The prize pool is based on a minimum 1,000 participants. The Meadows will add $10 Slot FreePlay to the prize pool for each participant. Each prize will be awarded as a percentage of the total prize pool.
