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 96% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 2,756x max win at a $1 stake

The top prize is capped at 2,756x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $2,756; on $0.20 it is $551.20. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.

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 medium volatility game.

Features explained (members only)

1 feature explained: free spins

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.

Strategy tips (members only)

Size your stake to the volatility. Medium volatility balances hit rate and win size. Expect dry spells between features, but not extreme swings. A simple rule: bring at least 200 spins' worth of budget, so a $50 budget suggests a stake of about $0.25.

2 more tips and a session planner

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.
