R4.4m up for grabs

ROULETTE: MASTERS TOURNAMENT PAYS BIG MONEY TO THE WINNERS Qualifying rounds end today with the finals to be held on Saturday.

Roulette wheels have been spinning madly around the country in Tsogo Sun’s fourth Roulette Masters tournament. Increased interest by patrons has led to the total prize money to be won skyrocketing to more than R4.4 million. The winner will now walk away with a guaranteed prize of R2.5 million along with a glittering trophy.

“After five weeks there has been an unprecedented demand from the public to be a part of this exciting tournament,” says Meshalin Naidoo, events and promotions manager at Suncoast, one of 14 Tsogo Sun casinos participating in this national tournament.

“Because of this, the total prize money has been increased by R1.3million.

“Not only has the winner’s prize been increased by R500 000 but the runners-up are also in luck,” Naidoo says.

“Second prize is now R750 000 (increased by R550 000) and the top five finalists will all have a share in the massive prize pool.”

The tournament has become popular with roulette fans as the buy-in of R100 has remained the same since its inception in 2014.

The individual casino qualifying rounds take place around the country until today and casino finals will be held on Saturday.

Those that make it through to the finals will go head-to-head at the Grand Final taking place at Gold Reef City on March 25.

With just six weeks to go before the tournament’s grand showdown, excitement is mounting at Suncoast.

“We would love the winner – or at least some of the finalists – to represent KwaZulu-Natal at the Roulette Masters Grand Final,” says Louise Howell, marketing manager at Suncoast.

“There is still plenty of time to be part of the thrills and action.”
