Testing the machine before max bet: how to do it
Introduction
Before you risk a big budget on Max Bet-backs, you need to make sure that the slot meets your expectations for return and volatility. Demo mode allows you to collect objective metrics without financial losses and make an informed decision.
1. Search and launch demo
1. The official website of the provider: NetEnt, Pragmatic, Relax Gaming.
2. Casino lobby: "Free Play" or "Demo" filter.
3. Mobile application: "Practice Mode" for most operators.
2. Configure spin settings
1. Minimum rate: €0.10-0.20 to reduce the effect of dispersion.
2. Auto-spin + Turbo: Turn on to complete 5,000-10,000 spins in 10-15 minutes.
3. Fixing data: enter a table (Excel/Google Sheets) with columns: back number, win (in bets), bonus (yes/no), multiplier.
3. Key metrics collection
1. Empirical RTP
$$
RTP_{ext{emp}} =\frac {\sumext {wins}} {\sumext {bets} }imes 100%.
$$
Evaluate after every 2,000-5,000 spins; compare with declared RTP.
2. Hit Frequency
$$
HF =\frac {ext {number of bonus triggers}} {ext {total number of spins}}.
$$
How many spins pass before one launch of frispins or a special round.
3. Maximum multiplier
- Record the highest win per session: Max Win score in the test.
4. Payment variance
$$
\sigma^2 = \frac{1}{N}\sum (W_i - \mu)^2,
$$
to understand the spread of payments and assess the risk of a dry batch with Max Bet.
4. Analysis of results
1. RTP convergence: if after 10,000 RTP spins\_ emp stabilizes ± 1% of the declared - the slot is honest.
2. Bonus frequency: HF ≥ 0.5% for high-win slots; below - need large series and bankroll.
3. Max Win test: multiplier ≥ × 1,000 of the bet in the demo provides the basis for calculating Max Bet potential.
4. Risk assessment: high variance (σ> × 50 bets) requires bankroll ≥ 1,000 × Max Bet.
5. Conclusion about switching to Max Bet
1. Bankroll volume:
to withstand 5 σ of dry batches.
2. Bonus Frequency: If the HF ≥ 0.7% and the average bonus multiplier ≥ × 200, proceed to the Max Bet session.
3. Portion approach: divide the fund on Max Bet into packages of 10-20 spins with -20 %/+ 100% limits.
Conclusion
Thorough testing in demo mode according to the described algorithm will allow you to get real indicators of RTP, hit frequency, max win and variance. Based on them, you will make an informed decision to switch to Max Bet and avoid rash losses when playing big.
