Principles of Gameplay.
-
Randomness: Remember that game round outcomes are completely random. Results cannot be predicted and are independent of past or future outcomes.
-
Return to Player (RTP): This is the average return on the winnings and prizes over the lifetime of a slot-type game. I.e., if a slot type has an 8% advantage, then the average RTP will be 92%.
-
Advantage: All casino-style games are designed with a slight advantage that favors the operator. In other words, over the long run, the operator will always win over the player as a mathematical certainlty.
-
-
Common Misconceptions.
-
“I'm due for a win” - You cannot predict when you're going to win. All outcomes are random.
-
“I always win with my lucky charm and pre-game ritual” - Although they might be fun, charms and rituals don't affect your chances of winning. All outcomes are random.
-
“The longer I play, the more chance I'll win” - Time spent has no effect on your chances of winning. All outcomes are random.
-
“These Games have been rigged” - The Random Number Generator (RNG) used in all our games verified and certified, to confirm that the RNG uses a well-known algorithm to generate random numbers. The numbers generated by the RNG have passed Marsaglia's "diehard" tests for statistical randomness. The number sequences are unpredictable, non-repeatable, and uniformly distributed.
