From random spinning to a choice made on purpose
Open the lobby and you face 5,588 games from 71 providers, so start with the short list this site reviews in depth. Six Pragmatic Play slots sit in that list: Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush, Fire Portals, Zeus vs Typhon, Knights vs Barbarians and Majestic Express – Gold Run. Each one gets its own review on this site, with the same checks applied to every title. Treat the six as a reference point, and apply the method below to any other game you open.
Read a slot's numbers before the first spin
Find the game's return to player percentage on its information screen, then compare it with the volatility label. Return to player describes how much wagered money a game gives back over a long run, not what one session will pay. Volatility describes how often wins arrive. High volatility means long dry stretches with occasional big hits, while low volatility pays smaller wins more often. Finally, check the maximum win, which caps the top prize, and the bonus rounds.
- Percentage shown on the game information screen
- Volatility rating and what it means for session length
- Maximum win stated as a multiple of the stake
- Bonus round triggers and how often they appear
Set your budget before the first spin, and treat any money beyond it as spent.

Start each of the six games in demo mode, and only move to real money once you know how the bonus rounds feel. When you do play for money, set a session budget before the first bet and stop when it runs out. Degencity Casino holds licence OGL/2016/8185/931 from the Gaming Control Board Curaçao.
