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)

5 features explained: free spins, multipliers, hold and win, bonus buy 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.

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.

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).

Expanding reels

The grid grows during play, adding rows or reels and increasing the number of ways or lines that can pay.

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

  • 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.
  • 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.
