What you can choose before signing in
Spin’s public Alberta game shelf lets you narrow the field by name. Break da Bank Again and Thunderstruck II sit alongside Vegas Strip Blackjack and Auto Roulette. The home page also features 9 Masks of Fire and 12 Masks of Fire Drum Frenzy. The two Masks tiles deserve separate entries on your shortlist. A shared theme gives no assurance of matching reels, stake settings or bonus rules.
Use the full title when returning to Thunderstruck II. Related games can have different paytables.
Pros and cons of Spin Casino
Pros
- The public Alberta shelf names Break da Bank Again, Thunderstruck II and Vegas Strip Blackjack.
- The Alberta site offers English and French access.
Cons
- Public Play buttons lead to sign-in or registration, limiting advance inspection of paytables.
- Video poker uses fixed hand payouts. Readers wanting opponents should look at a poker room.
A video poker paytable in dollars
Video poker is one of the more useful reasons to consider Spin. Here a paytable has two axes: the hand you finish with and the number of credits staked. The value of a single credit is a separate setting. Consider the following illustrative figures, which show how to read a machine rather than the terms of a named Spin game.
| Credits played | Stake | Award at eight credits per credit played |
|---|---|---|
| One | C$0.25 | Eight credits = C$2.00 |
| Three | C$0.75 | 24 credits = C$6.00 |
| Five | C$1.25 | 40 credits = C$10.00 |
In this illustration the full-house award rises in direct proportion to the stake. Read the royal-flush row separately. Where a machine changes that award at its highest setting, the ratio for a full house still cannot describe the royal. Five credits also cost five times as much as one credit on every hand. A larger potential award brings a larger outlay.
Pick the format before comparing the price
A slot player can use the open Alberta lobby to identify a familiar sequence of reels. A draw-poker player needs time to decide which cards to hold. At a live table, a dealer and a table clock govern when the next decision arrives. Spin includes all three broad formats in its Alberta material. They suit different kinds of sessions, even when their starting stakes look similar.
