Strategy tips (members only)

2 more tips and a session planner
- Bonus wagering: at 96.86% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $31.40 on average. Check the bonus terms, as some casinos exclude specific games. Run your numbers in the wagering calculator.
- Set limits before you spin. Decide your loss limit and session time in advance and stop when you reach either. No pattern or betting system changes the outcome of a spin.
