Usually it takes scatters to trigger free spins, and the round often carries modified mathematics, such as an expanded grid, extra wilds or increased multipliers. Here lies the explanation for return being concentrated in a game’s free-spin round more than in its base game, and for stretches of flat base spins on a title heavy with features.
Using it in practice
Base spins feeling flat in a game is often a matter of design instead of a bad run. Fair tests change shape depending on whether a title concentrates its return in a feature round, and knowing that matters. Since the same clause usually carries all of them, reading it with what wagering requirement means makes more sense.
Free spins is one of the terms that recur on this site’s game pages; whenever a studio publishes no figure for one, the page admits it rather than lifting a number off a comparison site. It explains why you will see blanks in several spec tables here.
A worked example
When much of a game’s return is held in the feature round, 100 spins of the base game might pay very little before 10 free spins return several hundred times the stake. Nothing has malfunctioned in either half. A game of this type asks its base game to reach the feature, and to judge it before it does is to judge half of it.
The common misreading
The name overlaps, yet an operator’s promotional free spins and the in-game free-spin round are not one and the same. The first comes with the operator’s wagering terms and usually cannot be withdrawn until those are satisfied; the second forms part of the game and is credited to your balance as a normal win.
Not granted or withheld by any operator, an in-game free-spin round carries no wagering requirement and is not a bonus in the promotional sense. Its place is inside the game’s own mathematics, and the studio is the one that sets it.
