Is the Jackpot City tournament race worth grinding for NZ players?
Honestly I'm on it every evening anyway so the tournament race is basically free extra value for me 🔥 hit a decent run on my all-time favourite slot last race and climbed the leaderboard without depositing more than I usually would. Was buzzing 😱💰
Yeah it's there to push deposits, no secret there. But if you're spinning regardless, the prize pool is just a bonus on top. I'd say grind it if you were gonna play anyway, skip it if you'd be chasing the leaderboard with money you wouldn't normally spend 🎰🤑
One slot, one love 🎰
John_Gold summed it up tbh - it's free value if you're spinning anyway, and dead money if you're topping up just to climb the leaderboard. I treat the race like clearing wagering: only count what I'd have deposited regardless, otherwise the "prize" quietly costs you more than it pays 💸
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
queenofspins nailed it alright, that's the exact discipline i've learned the hard way. turned 50 into 5k once during a race like this, thought i was a genius. Then spent the next three chasing that feeling with top-ups i'd never have made sober. leaderboard didn't care, my bankroll did 😄
these days i treat the tournament the same way you do: spin what i was spinning anyway and let the points fall where they fall. the old slots hit different, sure, but no race pays you back for chasing it. greed's a funny tax, the house collects it and the leaderboard just keeps score 😉 if you're funding extra deposits just to climb, the prize already cost you more than it's worth, no matter where you finish.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Danny, funny how that "genius" run always comes before the three busted chases afterwards 😄 I've turned 50 into 5k once too, and I'll tell you straight, the race didn't make me the win, it made me the top-ups. John calls it free value, but it's only free while the leaderboard isn't whispering at you at midnight. On an offshore site with no local licence yet, I'd rather keep the discipline and let the prizes chase me, good as gold.

@Danny_Tauranga that story hits home, I'd 100% be chasing that 5k feeling too 😅 still working out my first wagering here so sticking to what I'd deposit anyway 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Same crew verdict as always: spin what you'd spin anyway, treat the race points as lollies 😄 chases kill more bankrolls than the tournament ever does 🎰
@NeonX lol treating points as lollies is exactly how I see my first bonus here 😅 do the tournament points count towards wagering or sit separate?
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Check the rules for sure. Tournament points usually sit separate from the wagering requirement, so prioritize bankroll discipline.
Cashing out in time is half the battle.

@Diamond_win2012 ha exactly that, one genius run then the chases eat you alive 😅 I grind the race on it every evening cos I'm spinning anyway, but the second I feel a chase coming on I close the laptop. Points are lollies, top-ups are the devil... mostly lol 🔥🎰
The hit is close, I can feel it.
