Free spins
Slot spins ("tours gratuits") that don't use your own balance. Whatever you win usually comes as bonus money.
Free spins (tours gratuits) are a set number of rounds on one specific slot, at a fixed bet. You get them in welcome offers, reload promos and loyalty rewards.
What they're actually worth
Quick math: number of spins, times bet per spin, times the slot's RTP. Then take off whatever the terms eat up. Winnings often turn into bonus money with a wagering requirement (exigence de mise), and sometimes there's a cap.
Real-life example
You get 50 spins at 0.20 $ on a slot with 96% RTP. On average that's about 9.60 $ back. Now add 35x wagering on those winnings, played on a slot with a 4% house edge. You'll probably lose some of it along the way, so the real value is lower.
Before you grab them
- The bet per spin. Sometimes casinos set it at the minimum.
- Which slot, and which RTP version this casino runs.
- If winnings are cash or bonus, and if there's a max cashout.
- When they expire. Some only last 24 hours.
