Microgaming recently announced that they will be adding new tournament formats to their Slot and Blackjack tournaments. The new formats include something for everyone with innovative features and a wide range of betting options.

The One Shot Tournament is one of the new additions. It provides players with a single opportunity to set the best score possible without any add-ons or re-buys. This type of tournament was requested by players because many feel that add-on and re-buy tournaments are tilted in favor of those with larger bankrolls. The One Shot Tournament format promises to be fast and frantic as one player will walk away with the entire prize pool and the rest will leave empty handed.

The new Reloader Tournaments on the other hand encourage players to re-buy into the event as much as possible for multiple chances of winning. Since there are no add-ons to the event each re-buy gives players a equal opportunity to record the top score though having more chances to do so does provide a slight edge. Add-on addicts will love the new Extender Tournaments. This format encourages players to buy as many add-ons as possible with additional coins and time provided with each add-on.

The most fascinating of all the new additions though is the Survivor tournaments. These multi-round tournaments eliminate a percentage of players at the end of each round based on their overall score. There are no add-ons or re-buys allowed so each tournament will be an all out battle for the top spot. 
Mike Hebden, Head of Casino at Microgaming, said that he was sure that the new formats will meet the expectations of even the most demanding online players but that, "Microgaming constantly strives for innovation and we will continue to analyze our casino offering and make further improvements to ensure we stay ahead of the curve as the market evolves."

The new online tournament formats are already being used at many of Microgaming's popular online casinos. CasinoFan especially recommends All Slots Online Casino!
