How winnings work (members only)
What 97% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 2,000x max win at a $1 stake
The top prize is capped at 2,000x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $2,000; on $0.20 it is $400. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.
Multipliers are applied to wins as they land; in many games several multipliers add together or multiply each other, which is where the largest wins come from.
What 97% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 97%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $3.00
RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a low–medium volatility game.
Features explained (members only)
5 features explained: multipliers, wild symbols, hold and win, bonus buy and more
Multipliers
Multipliers increase a win by a set factor, such as 2x or 10x. They can be attached to symbols, applied to a whole spin, or grow during a feature, and are a main driver of the biggest wins.
Wild symbols
Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.
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.
Bonus buy
Lets you pay a fixed multiple of your stake to enter the bonus feature straight away instead of waiting for it to trigger. It raises variance considerably and is not available in every country (it is banned in the UK).
Mystery symbols
Special symbols that all reveal the same randomly chosen regular symbol, which can complete several wins at once.
Strategy tips (members only)
- Size your stake to the volatility. Low-to-medium volatility gives fairly regular hits with occasional bigger features. It is a balanced choice for steady play and bonus wagering. A simple rule: bring at least 150 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.33.
3 more tips and a session planner
- Treat bonus buys as high-risk. Buying the feature concentrates your budget into a few large-variance rounds. Many results return less than the price paid. Read our bonus buy guide first.
- Bonus wagering: at 97% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $30.00 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.
