Laravel query build based on relation

I have such query:

Tournament::has('participations', '<', '2')->get();

How can I replace constant number '2' on tournament's column named slots ?? I would like retrieve only these tournaments which have least participants than slots in tournament.

Let's start by using the column name instead of "2". Like you would do in "normal" SQL

Tournament::has('participations', '<', 'slots')->get();

Now, you don't even have to try that because it won't work. But why's that? Because Laravel treats slots like a string and escapes it so SQL does as well.

What you need to do, is use DB::raw(). raw makes sure Laravel changes nothing and just injects it into the SQL query

Tournament::has('participations', '<', DB::raw('slots'))->get();

Update

After some trying out I found this: (Its not very pretty but the only way I got it working)

$subquery = function($q) use ($uid){
    $q->where('player_id', $uid);
}

Tournament::whereHas('participations', $subquery)
    ->whereHas('participations', $subquery, '<', DB::raw('slots'))
    ->get();

The first whereAs checks for count(*) > 0, the second count(*) < slots and the subquery filters by player id.
