How to play Pay Day (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.
Pay Day is played on a 5 reels grid with 30 paylines.
- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin. 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.
- Spin. Each spin's result is decided by a certified random number generator, independent of previous spins.
- Trigger the bonus. Land the required scatter symbols to start the free spins feature.

How winnings work (members only)
What 95% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 13,530x max win at a $1 stake
The top prize is capped at 13,530x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $13,530; on $0.20 it is $2,706. 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 95% RTP means
Expected return = stake × 95%
Over $100 of total bets, the long-run average loss is $5.00
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.
The published hit frequency is 67.5%, meaning roughly one spin in 1.5 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.
Features explained (members only)
5 features explained: free spins, multipliers, wild symbols, gamble feature and more
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.
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.
Gamble feature
After a win you can risk it on a double-or-nothing guess, such as the colour of a card. It does not improve the game's long-term return.
Fixed jackpots
Jackpot prizes set at fixed multiples of your stake, such as Mini, Minor, Major and Grand.
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.
2 more tips and a session planner
- Bonus wagering: at 95% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $50.00 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.
