Limited information on this tournament below. Scroll down to see Tournament Rules for a small weekly tournament that I am told are used for all Blackjack tournaments.
Notes on the St Patrick’s Day event:
Registration for this tournament will begin at 3PM with live players having the first chance to register. This will be a one day tournament and there will be no discounted room rate for this event.
The cost for the tournament will be $100 with an optional $10 Dealer Appreciation Add On. Once you have paid the $100 initial Buy in, you will have the option to re-enter (if you don’t advance in your qualifying round) for $25 with an optional $10 Dealer Appreciation Add On. Dealer Appreciation Add-ons will get you an extra $500 in tournament chips.
During the round, each round, you will have the opportunity to rebuy tournament chips. $10 will get you an additional $1k in tournament chips during round play. All re-buy chips need to be paid back at the end of the round.
The payout structure is set at:
35% – 1st 22% – 2nd
14.5% – 3rd
10.75% – 4th
7.5% – 5th
5.75% – 6th
4.5% – 7th
Casino keeps a 10% tournament fee on the Buy Ins and Re-Entries. 100% of all re-buys during the tournament, during qualifier rounds go to the prize pool.
This begins the published weekly tournament information:
$100 Buy In + Optional $10 add on for an extra 500 in tournament chips
$10 optional rebuys during qualifying round play for an extra 1k in tournament chips. Rebuy chips must be paid back at the end of the round.
$25 Re-Entry + Optional $10 add on for an extra 500 in tournament chips. (Discounted re-entry after first $100 initial Buy In.)
