Arcade gambling games are available from a range of the most significant manufacturers of software for online casinos. Many players believe that their outcome entirely depends on luck, so it is not necessary to follow one or the other strategy.
However, this statement is not always true, as evidenced by the research of Michael Shackleford, who is a famous American expert in the field of gambling and the owner of the website WizardofOdds.
Michael worked in the company Playtech, testing the products of this manufacturer. We have prepared recommendations for the most famous games of Playtech based on its theoretical calculations and statistics. Reviews are available on Casinoz.
Popular Playtech Instant Win Games
So, let's start.
Around the World Game
Around the World is a straightforward game. It is necessary to spin the wheel and move, passing the checkpoints. Having reached this checkpoint, you can collect money and continue the game. Therefore, the main thing is to stop in time.
Without going into the details of calculating the theoretical payout percentage, we offer the RTPs for various gameplay stages.
- If the user stops playing after the first spin, the RTP is 85.58%.
- If the user stops playing after the second spin - 81.35%.
- If the user stops playing after the third spin - 85.04%.
- If the user stops playing after the fourth spin - 96.95%.
Thus, If you always play till the end of the game, you will reduce the house edge to 3.05% (the payout percentage is 96.95%.) To be sure, this strategy decreases the frequency of receiving payouts, but the total amount will be more impressive.
Penalty Shootout
Penalty Shootout is another game from Playtech. Users need to kick a penalty by selecting one of the five available directions in Penalty Shootout, also offered by Playtech. The odds are x3, x5, and x12. These bets have the following RTPs:
- Lower corners - 96.9%
- Upper corners - 97.2%
- Top-centre - 96%
Therefore, it is necessary to select the right and left upper corners to reduce the house edge to 2.8%.
Bonus Bowling
It is impossible to provide useful tips for Bonus Bowling. Let's firstly discuss the probability of winning for each bet:
- Strike - 3.4%
- Spare - 8.56%
- 7-9 - 17.04%
- 4-6 - 28.4%
- 0-3 - 42.6%
Taking into account the payouts and bonuses, the following RTP for each bet has been calculated:
- Strike- 96.33%
- Spare - 96.93%
- 7-9 - 96.53%
- 4-6 - 96.53%
- 0-3 - 96.53%
Therefore, there is no sense in selecting an outcome to wager on.
Dice Twister
Users can make bets with different payouts in Dice Twister. The RTP has been calculated for each bet. It allows us to determine the most profitable wager:
- Total score is 4 - 97.22%
- Total score is 5 - 97.22%
- Total score is 6 - 97.22%
- Total score is 7 - 97.22%
- Total score is 8 - 97.22%
- Total score is 9 - 95.49%
- Total score is 10 - 96.87%
- Total score is 11 - 96.87%
- Total score is 12 - 95.49%
- Total score is 13 - 97.22%
- Total score is 14 - 97.22%
- Total score is 15 - 97.22%
- Total score is 16 - 97.22%
- Total score is 17 - 97.22%
- Low (3-8) - 97.22%
- Mid (9-12) - 96.3%
- High (13-18) - 97.22%
- All even - 96.87%
- All odd - 96.87%
- Mix - 93.75%
We guess that you can make a correct conclusion. Many bets allow reducing the house edge to 2.78%.
Heads or Tails
This game called Heads or Tails is intended for customers of online casinos. Below, users can find information about the RTPs for one, two, or three flips:
- One flip - 95%
- Two flips - 95%
- Three flips - 93.75%
As you can see, there is no sense in tossing a coin three times in a row. The payout does not compensate for the risk.
Pop Bingo
Pop Bingo resembles classic bingo. It is hardly possible to provide some recommendations. The theoretical payout percentage reaches 97%.
Rock Paper Scissors
Shackleford's advice for Rock Paper Scissors found at online casinos running on software from Playtech is related to one, two, three, and four throws.
- One throw - 96.67%
- Two throws - 96.67%
- Three throws - 96.3%
- Four throws - 96.3%
Thus, it makes sense to wager on one or two outcomes per one approach, although differences in the RTPs don't seem significant.
In the review on Casinoz, you will be able to find recommendations on Rock Paper Scissors with live dealers.
Jackpot Darts
Jackpot Darts is another arcade game with numerous bets. The theoretical payout percentage is:
- Low (3-38) - 96.1%
- Mid (39-41) - 95.91%
- High (42-180) - 94.71%
- No singles - 93.54%
- One single - 94.85%
- Two singles - 93.48%
- Three singles - 94.86%
- No doubles - 92.48%
- One double - 97.06%
- Two doubles - 96.21%
- Three doubles - 95.69%
- No trebles - 95%
- One treble - 96.63%
- Two trebles - 95.83%
- Three trebles - 95.81%
- 1-20 singles - 96.8%
- Outer bull - 95.52%
- Bullseye - 93.51%
It is also possible to make a side bet of one dollar that allows winning $20 (hitting a bullseye), $2,000 (hitting two bullseyes), or a progressive jackpot.
The RTP for this bet is 77.82% and 4.22% for each $100,000 jackpot. Therefore, when it exceeds $525,644, the house edge is lost (to be sure, the probability of winning the jackpot remains negligible.)
Conclusion
