What does "Free Roll" mean?

[Nuanes]

I have seen several times now reference to Free Roll? On Party I have been invited to partcipate in a Free Roll. I followed the link onto Party but it did not give me any idea what the heck this means?

Can someone please enlighten me?

Thanks.

in this context its an entry into a free tournament that most likely has some small prize money.
