How to play Square Up (members only)
Instead of fixed lines, matching symbols on adjacent reels pay in any position, starting from the leftmost reel. The more matching symbols there are on each reel, the more ways the combination pays.
Square Up is played on a 6×5 grid with 15,625 ways.
- Set your stake. Choose your total bet per spin between $0.20 and $300. 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 96% RTP costs per $100 wagered
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 low–medium volatility game.
The published hit frequency is 38.91%, meaning roughly one spin in 2.6 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.
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. 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.
3 more tips and a session planner
- Check which RTP version you're playing. Skywind offers this game at 96%, 94%, 92%. Open the game rules at your casino and prefer sites running the 96% version.
- 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.
