[Biohazard WANTED $675 Outlaw]

Both good videos these, thanks for sharing! The 2nd one I believe I watched years ago, sums up quite nicely how slots work.

In regards to LDWs, I hate these the most. I always reduce the lines so that if I win, it’s actually a win and not a loss (e.g. Book of Ra to 5 lines).

Yes indeed Mr Biohazard.

The videos are really old maybe 8-10 years or so! But still as valid as ever.

How does reducing your lines of play for you, is it ‘more’ exciting or…?

And i think Megaways are the ultimate LDW! About 4 reels deep in on Genie Megaways and connect what looks like 30 symbols of Aces and boom…. 0.48p paid in as WIN, on a £0.80p spin.

You win less often, but win more.

It’s the same RTP, I just can’t stand winning less than my original bet, it’s pointless.

To add to the bag of marbles analogy in the second video, the likelihood of winning different prizes (so marbles of different, winning colours in the bag) coming out is what determines RTP, but RTP is not quite the same thing as your chance of winning. Sticking with just white marbles lose, red marbles win, if I put 1 red marble in the bag for every 4 white marbles, that means in 1 in 5 drawn will be a winner. But to win, you have to win higher than your stake (or else it’s the classic loss disguised as win, of course), so let’s say pulling a marble out the bag is £1 a go but if you draw out a red marble you win £2, double your stake. That means a 20% chance of winning is actually a long term 40% RTP, because for every £5 in, £2 is paid out. Add some more marbles with other prizes, in different colours and different quantities, and you tune the RTP to whatever precise number you want.
