Compensation in RTG Free Spins

Published on: June 16, 2011 

The free spins bonus has become an integral part of online slots and it would be rare to find a video slot game without this feature. In a free spins feature the online casino player will not wager any amount for each spin but will receive the payouts. To make things even better these payouts are usually enhanced by a multiplier and other benefits are offered. Therefore players eagerly wait for the free spins bonus to be triggered, which does not happen very often. The random nature of slot games governs the free spins as well. Therefore it is possible that players may have a run of bad luck and may not win anything worthwhile in the free spins round.

This is where the Win-Win feature comes in. The online casino software provider Realtime Gaming (RTG) visualized a feature that compensated a player who had a poor run in the free spins bonus game. This feature is termed as the Win-Win feature and appears in many of the recent releases in the Real Series online slot games. There are some conditions that need to be fulfilled before this feature can be activated. The player should have enabled all the paylines in the spin that resulted in the free spins bonus. The player should have won 10 times the triggering bet or less in the free spins round. If either of these two conditions is not met then the Win-Win feature will not be triggered after the free spins round and the player will be directly taken back to the main game.

The Win-Win feature offers compensation as follows. If the player does not receive any payout in the free spins round then he is given a compensation of 200 times the triggering bet. If the player receives a payout that is less than or equal to 2 times the triggering bet then he is given a compensation of 20 times the triggering bet. If the player receives a payout that is more than 2 times but less than or equal to 5 times the triggering bet then he is given a compensation of 10 times the triggering bet. If the player receives a payout that is more than 5 times but less than or equal to 10 times the triggering bet then he is given a compensation of 5 times the triggering bet. These compensations are in addition to the payouts received in the free spins bonus round.

Some of the RTG Real Series online slot games that offer the Win-Win feature are Basketbull, It’s a Mystery, Mice Dice and Hockey Hero. Hockey Hero was an online slot game that really required the Win-Win feature. Normally in online slot games a designated number of free spins are awarded and these are played out. In some online slot games additional free spins may be awarded, but the number is rarely reduced. This happens in Hockey Hero. If two or more clock symbols appear in the same spin the remaining free spins are lost. Hence the Win-Win compensation would be required more often than not. Real Series online slots with the Win-Win feature can be played at RTG online casinos like Club World, Slots Jungle and Silver Oak.
