I have stayed at Mr Q for this one, my theory being that the higher RTPs should eventually make themselves known to me. It really is quite a simple theory, that over time playing the slots at the highest setting will work in my favour. It will likely be imperceptible, but it surely can’t be wrong to take this approach.

On a day to day basis it is more important that blind luck plays it part though, and whilst playing here I don’t seem to have had a great deal of this. The recent videos at Betfred have been better, but my money doesn’t seem to be lasting quite so well at this site. That said, I did have a winning return overall last time, albeit solely thanks to a single magnificent bonus on Temble Tumble Megaways. I did enjoy that one at least.

As for today, I have almost as many no bonuses as I have lands. On a day like this the cost can quickly mount up, and so it was by the end. I have 10, but at a cost of just over £600. This in itself isn’t terrible, I always feel that 100x per bonus is about par for the course. But there is no way that I’ll be getting that amount back on average, otherwise the maths wouldn’t quite work.

This is compounded today because I have a few games on 40p and 50p, one of which will need a gamble. I don’t think money back is a realistic scenario here then, but lets hope I can minimise the damage.

Here is the full list of games attempted, along with their respective costs:
