Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.10 and $50. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.

How winnings work (members only)

What 96% RTP costs per $100 wagered

What 96% RTP means

Expected return = stake × 96%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $4.00

RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a very high volatility game.

Features explained (members only)

2 features explained: respins, hold and win

Respins

Selected reels or the whole grid spin again without a new stake, usually triggered by a specific symbol combination or near-miss feature.

Hold and win

Landing enough special cash or coin symbols starts a respin feature: those symbols lock in place, the respin counter resets each time a new one lands, and their values are collected when the feature ends.

Strategy tips (members only)

Size your stake to the volatility. Very high volatility means most spins lose and a large share of the return comes from rare big features. Treat it as entertainment with a strict budget and a stake of around 0.5% of your session budget or less. A simple rule: bring at least 400 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.12.

3 more tips and a session planner

Check which RTP version you're playing. Blueprint Gaming offers this game at 96%, 95%, 93%, 92%. Open the game rules at your casino and prefer sites running the 96% version.
Bonus wagering: at 96% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $40.00 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.
