Free-Roll Tournament ( poker )


A tournament with no buy-in, usually with prize money put up by the house. Generally players must qualify to play in such a tournament by playing a specified number of hours during a set period of time, such as 10 hours in a week or 40 hours in a month. Sometimes entries to a free-roll tournament are also awarded to players holding certain hands, such as aces full or better, or the winners of preliminary tournaments, or to those who enter one or more other tournaments.
