- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.20 and $300. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
- Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.

How winnings work (members only)
What 95.94% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 349x max win at a $1 stake
The top prize is capped at 349x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $349; on $0.20 it is $69.80. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.
What 95.94% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 95.94%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $4.06
RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a low volatility game.
The published hit frequency is 49.93%, meaning roughly one spin in 2.0 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.
Features explained (members only)
4 features explained: free spins, wild symbols, sticky wilds, respins
Free spins
A bonus round of spins played at no cost to your balance, usually triggered by landing three or more scatter symbols. Wins during the round are added to your balance, and many games let you retrigger extra spins.
Wild symbols
Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.
Sticky wilds
Sticky wilds stay locked in place for several spins or for the rest of a feature, giving every following spin a better chance of connecting wins.
Respins
Selected reels or the whole grid spin again without a new stake, usually triggered by a specific symbol combination or near-miss feature.
Strategy tips (members only)
- Size your stake to the volatility. Low volatility means frequent, smaller wins and a smoother balance. It suits longer sessions and bonus wagering, but big multipliers are rare. A simple rule: bring at least 100 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.50.
3 more tips and a session planner
- Check which RTP version you're playing. Skywind offers this game at 95.94%, 93.96%. Open the game rules at your casino and prefer sites running the 95.94% version.
- Bonus wagering: at 95.94% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $40.60 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.
