The first week of April is championship week, not only for men’s and women’s college basketball, but also for Turning Stone Resort Casino’s 2022 Slot Madness competition.

This year’s contest—to be judged by comments on Facebook—runs through April 4.

The championship match features two of our most beloved slot machines, and guests will get to determine which of the two is the ultimate favorite. The winner will be announced just before tipoff of the National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball championship.

Competitors are all about jackpots and fire. In one corner, with an epic progressive jackpot and a theme of a fire-breathing dragon, from slot vendor Aristrocrat: Dragon Link! And in the other corner, with a similar progressive and a bonus round that includes fireballs, from vendor SG Gaming: Ultimate Fire Link!

According to Bong Woo, Director of Slots & Keno Operations, the Slot Madness competition is a fun way to celebrate that Turning Stone offers the very best in slot machines for our guests.

“We have more than 1,700 different slot machines on our casino floor, all of them are exciting, and these two are among the best of the bunch,” Bong said. “Now it’s up to our guests to determine which is the ultimate champion.”

The contest comes down to feedback on Facebook; guests are encouraged to visit the Turning Stone Facebook page, find the Slot Madness post, and comment which machine they prefer and why. 

One commenter will be randomly selected to win $100 in Free Play; another will win $25 in free play.

Guests have until 2 p.m. on Monday, April 4, to log their perspectives. Winners will be selected later that night.

Once the champion is crowned, of course, you can celebrate by playing the winning machine on the gaming floor. While we can never guarantee jackpots, in this case we undoubtedly can guarantee fire. And a rollicking good time.
