Aleksi Hakala writes for Redbetz about the technical figures behind games and about bonus terms. He does not work for the casino and has no access to the operator’s internal data.
His articles go through where return to player, volatility and hit frequency are found and what they mean for the player.
On bonuses he covers the clauses that decide the real value: the wagering requirement, the maximum stake and the cap on what can be withdrawn.
