What Is Gadget Run?
Gadget Run is a slot tournament promotion running at bgo not once, but twice during the first half of April 2021. Not only are there two runs of the whole promotion, but each run consists of two phases and just to make it really confusing, phase two of the first run overlaps with phase one of the second run:
Daily Leaderboard
- First Run – 1st – 7th April
- Second Run – 8th – 14th April
The Daily Leaderboard is based on total activity and each day, the top 10 on the leaderboard collect entry tokens to the corresponding Main Event Tournament. 1st place collects 3 entry tokens, 2nd and 3rd collect 2 entry tokens each and the rest of the top 10 collect one each.
To participate, the first step is to opt in and this only has to be done once in each promotional period, not every day. You then score one leaderboard point for each £20 of play on casino games, or 2 points for £20 of play on Temple of Fire.
- It has to be cash play – bonus does not count towards the £20
- Bingo play does not count – it has to be slots or casino games
There’s a link on the promo page to view the current day’s leaderboard at any time, although bgo say that it may lag by as much as 2 hours, so it’s possible to see how many points are needed to have a chance of finishing in the top ten before starting to play. On the first day of the tournament, it’s looking like hundreds of points will be needed so this is definitely something to consider when deciding whether you want to participate in this promotion.
Main Event Tournament
- First Run – 8th -9th April
- Second Run 15th – 16th April
The ONLY way to get entries for the Main Event Tournament is to win them in the Daily Leaderboard and since each run of the promotion has 7 of these with 14 entries to be won each time round, the maximum number of entries that there can be for each tournament is 98. There are 50 prizes, as follows:

£5 Bonus – Select Prize Games |
The bonus prizes are for “Select Prize Games” only – Temple of Fire, Cleopatra, Cleopatra Plus, Cleopatra Gold, Da Vinci Diamonds, Wheel of Fortune Megaways, and The Big Easy – and the 50x wagering requirement also has to be completed on these games via the main casino area of bgo only (not via the bingo lobby). All bonus prizes have a 7 day expiry and a maximum conversion of £2000 and while your bonus is active, you won’t be able to play with stakes higher than £2.50.
To play in the tournament, redeem a tournament entry token and you’ll receive 20 tournament spins on The Big Easy with a “play money” value of £400. You can’t win any money directly from these – the “winnings” become your score on the tournament leaderboard. If you have more than one entry token (from coming in the top 3 on a Daily Leaderboard or coming in the top 10 on more than one Daily Leaderboard), you can redeem further tokens to enter again, but as a repeat buy-in rather than as a completely separate entry; what this means is that only your best score counts on the tournament leaderboard and you can only win one prize in each Main Event.
