How winnings work (members only)

How wins are paid and capped

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.

Features explained (members only)

4 features explained: free spins, multipliers, wild symbols, pick bonus

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.

Pick bonus

A bonus game where you choose from hidden items to reveal cash prizes, multipliers or extra features.

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.

1 more tip and a session planner

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.
