Slot Tournament
Try your luck on March 8-9! $200 buy-in includes hotel room, $150 without
a room. All lodging must be coordinated through Chinook Winds’ executive hosts.
All participants will receive a special tournament shirt.
Upon purchasing a tournament ticket, the tournament player can select
tournament times based on availability. Re-buys are allowed based on
availability, but only the top two scores will be combined. An individual can earn
only one spot in the semi-finals. All buy-ins will occur through the box office.

rounds will begin at 11:20 a.m., with 20 minutes between each round. The last
round will begin at 7:40 p.m. Machine assignments will be drawn randomly.
Each of the 156 participants will play in two 10-minute rounds. The scores
from each round will be combined to establish their final score. Those players
with the top 23 scores and the “wild card” drawing winner will advance to the
semi-final rounds on March 9.
The action on March 9 begins with the early bird drawing for $500 at 10:30 a.m.,
followed by the drawing for the “wild card” winner at 10:45 a.m. (must be present
to win). Each of the 24 semi-finalists will have one chance to amass as many
points as possible in one of the two semi-final rounds at 11 a.m. and 11:20 a.m.
The top 12 players with the highest scores will move on to the final 15-minute
round at 11:45 a.m. The player with the most points from the final round will be
the first place winner, the player with the next highest point total will be the
second place winner, and so on through 12,h place. Prizes range from $ 10,000 for
first place to $2(K) for 12th place. Those placing 13th to 24,h will receive $ 100 each.
The awards banquet for the top 24 qualifiers, at 2 p.m. on March 9 in the
