How to play Rising Rockets Empress (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.

Rising Rockets Empress is played on a 5×3 grid with 25 paylines.

Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.25 and $100. 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.
Optional bonus buy. Where permitted, pay a fixed price to start the bonus directly.

How winnings work (members only)

What 96% RTP costs per $100 wagered, the 500,000x max win at a $1 stake

The top prize is capped at 500,000x your stake (including the jackpot). On a $1 spin that is $500,000; on $0.20 it is $100,000. 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 volatile game.

Features explained (members only)

4 features explained: bonus buy, respins, wild symbols, fixed jackpots

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).

Respins

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

Wild symbols

Wilds substitute for regular paying symbols to help complete winning combinations. They do not normally replace scatter or bonus symbols.

Fixed jackpots

Jackpot prizes set at fixed multiples of your stake, such as Mini, Minor, Major and Grand.

Strategy tips (members only)

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.

2 more tips

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.
