Aside from minor differences, land-based and online casino tournaments are the same. The process goes like this – you pay the entry fee (buy-in), play the game, and collect your winnings. Another way to enter a casino tournament is to exchange your comp points for the fee sum. The difference between land-based and digital casino tournaments is that the prizes in brick-and-mortar venues are usually bigger. Also, there is no annoying crowd of people on the premises so you get to focus better online.
