View TournamentsWeekly Tournament
Weekly tournaments at Golden Crown Casino follow a rotating schedule that keeps the competitive scene fresh. Each tournament focuses on different game mechanics or providers, exposing players to various pokie styles while competing for prizes.
How Weekly Tournaments Work
Most weekly tournaments use a point-based system where your gameplay translates to leaderboard positions. The scoring mechanism varies by tournament type:
Multiplier Based
Your biggest win multiplier determines your position. A 500x win on AU$1 beats a 300x win on AU$5.
Total Wagering
Points accumulate based on total bet amounts during the tournament period. Higher bets earn more points.
Consecutive Wins
Chain wins together for multiplied points. Five consecutive wins might earn 5x normal points.
Bonus Triggers
Entering bonus rounds awards points regardless of win amount. More triggers equal higher scores.
Weekly Prize Distribution
Prize pools distribute across the top finishers, with percentages varying by tournament. Standard weekly tournaments typically follow this structure:
| Position | Prize (AU$5,000 Pool) | Prize (AU$10,000 Pool) | % of Pool |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Place | AU$1,500 | AU$3,000 | 30% |
