How to play Ho Ho Tower (members only)

Wins are paid when matching symbols land on an active payline, usually left to right starting from the leftmost reel. Your total stake is spread across the lines, and each line win is the line bet multiplied by the symbol's paytable value.

Ho Ho Tower is played on a 5×3 grid with 99 paylines.

  1. Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.10 and $50. Wins are paid as multiples of this stake.
  2. Check the paytable. Open the game's info screen to see what each symbol pays and the exact rules for this version.
  3. Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.

How winnings work (members only)

What 96.4% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 3,061x max win at a $1 stake

The top prize is capped at 3,061x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $3,061; on $0.20 it is $612.20. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.

What 96.4% RTP means

Expected return = stake × 96.4%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $3.60

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.

The published hit frequency is 22.6%, meaning roughly one spin in 4.4 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.

Features explained (members only)

2 features explained: mystery symbols, bonus wheel

Mystery symbols

Special symbols that all reveal the same randomly chosen regular symbol, which can complete several wins at once.

Bonus wheel

A wheel feature that awards a prize, multiplier, jackpot or entry into another bonus round.

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.

2 more tips and a session planner

  • Bonus wagering: at 96.4% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $36.00 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.
