Principles of Responsible Gaming

If you wish to avoid disappointment and depression, make informed decisions, stay at the casino with a light heart and leave when you feel like it, follow these principles:

• If you lose, don't spend it all in one evening just to get even. The casino will be open the next day, and you can try your luck again.
• Think of the casino game as a fun or adventure, with the possibility of making money and don't get upset if you can't win.
• Go into the game with the understanding that you can lose a bet without it affecting the quality of your life in any way. Take the game lightly, and definitely with humor - if you lose, it's just money.

Allocate a separate amount for the game, just as you do for going to the movies or bowling, and do not play on credit. Determine for yourself the time you can set aside for the game and the amount you can lose without regret. For example, you play after work or on weekends at a certain time, and you have a lot of money to lose.

Remember, you can always contact the administration of Pin Up Casino, if you need a break from the game. If you need a break from gambling, write a request to the online support, and we will exclude you from the active players of the site for a while.

What is RTP in a slot machine

Slot machines do not involve the use of a winning strategy. As opposed to games like poker (against live players but not against the house), where knowledge, talent and ability play a major role and can make the game profitable from a distance, slot machines are designed so that only a random number generator determines the final bets.

With all that said, the casino gets a % for its services. Need to pay their staff salaries, upgrade software, operating costs.

Absolutely all slot machines has an indicator RTP (Return to Player). If RTP =" 98%, that from the set "1 000 USD will be returned 980. They are distributed among the players at random, when the remaining 20 is the fee for the casino services. The higher the RTP, the higher the chances of winning. There are slot machines where this figure is lower, on them you can win with a smaller probability.

Betting 5 USD you can win as much as 9,000 out of those 980 or nothing at all. The main thing is to realize that, globally, players give back about as much as they bet, minus the percentage retained by the casino. Some people's luck smiles on the first bet, while others may bet several times before they get real money at Pin-Up Casino.
