The Magic Orb Hold & Win

The top prize is capped at 20,776x your stake. On a $1 spin that is $20,776; on $0.20 it is $4,155.20. When the cap is reached the round usually ends immediately.

Because wins don't depend on lines, every symbol in view can count towards a pay. The paytable lists how many matching symbols each tier needs.

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.

Because winning symbols tumble away and are replaced, one paid spin can produce a chain of wins. All of them count towards that spin's total.

RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins. Any single session can finish far above or below it, especially on a medium–high volatility game.

The published hit frequency is 32%, meaning roughly one spin in 3.1 returns something — though many of those wins are smaller than the stake.

Tumbling reels

After a win, the winning symbols are removed and new ones fall into their place. This can create several consecutive wins from a single paid spin. Also called cascades or avalanches.

Ante bet

An optional extra charge on each spin, typically +25%, that increases the chance of triggering the bonus feature.

Cluster pays

Wins are formed by groups of matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically, rather than along lines.

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.

Hold and win

Landing enough special cash or coin symbols starts a respin feature: those symbols lock in place, the respin counter resets each time a new one lands, and their values are collected when the feature ends.

Wild symbols

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

Respins

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

• Understand the ante bet. It costs more per spin to trigger features more often; it does not change the game into a better bet.
• Bonus wagering: at 95.94% RTP, clearing $1,000 of wagering costs about $40.60 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.

For medium–high volatility we suggest a budget of at least 250 spins. This is what that means for The Magic Orb Hold & Win (bets from $0.20 up to a maximum bet of $20).

Averages only: a short session can end far above or below them. Set a loss limit before you play.
