5 Free Spins No Deposit UK: Where to Claim Them and the Terms to Check First (October 2026)

Quick answer: where to get 5 free spins and what to check

• Where they come from. UK-licensed casinos give them for one sign-up step: a debit card added and left uncharged, or the age and identity check completed. Casino-first brands are the likeliest source, while sportsbook-led brands tend to want a deposit.
• Find the trigger in the terms. “No deposit” has to appear in the terms themselves, not only the advert; five spins that need a payment are a deposit offer averaging about 48p.
• Check the minimum withdrawal before anything else. A £10 minimum holds back 995 claims in 1,000 as they stand, so cash winnings with no minimum are the version to look for.
• Then the wagering line. Paid as cash, 80.5% of five-spin claims keep something; under 10x wagering, the UK maximum, 3.5% do.
• Prefer a higher spin value. Five 20p spins average 96p, twice the 48p of five 10p spins, for the same twelve and a half seconds of play.
• Want far more spins and ready to deposit? The ranked packages carry 150 to 500 spins from £20 or €20, at 35x to 40x wagering under offshore licences, so read each card before you sign up.

At Gambling Commission-licensed casinos, five free spins with no deposit are exactly what they say: five rounds on one named slot, paid for by the casino, with no money taken from you. They are usually the reward for a single step in the sign-up, either adding a debit card to a new account, which is not charged, or completing identity verification. Their size tells you their purpose: at 48p a claim the spins are an invitation, not the product. They exist to get a verified account opened, and the casino’s real hope is the first deposit that may follow.

The stake is almost always 10p, so the headline means 50p of play. Sometimes the spins are 20p, which doubles everything on this page, and occasionally 5p, which halves it. What the spins win is paid either as cash, which you can withdraw subject to the casino’s minimum, or as bonus funds that must be wagered first. Since 19 January 2026 that wagering cannot exceed 10 times the winnings at a licensed casino. The spins usually expire within 24 hours to 7 days, and a maximum-win cap, often set between £20 and £100, may limit the top end, though on 50p of spins it almost never comes into play.

Verification comes before anything else. Since 7 May 2019 a licensed casino has had to check your age and identity before you can play anything, free spins and free-to-play demos included. An advert offering five spins “with no ID” is therefore either not from a licensed site or not telling the whole story.

Offshore sites tend to advertise much bigger numbers than five. Casinos without a British licence typically lead with dozens or hundreds of spins, or a £50 or £100 “free chip”, usually with 30x to 60x wagering, a cash-out cap of £100 or less, crypto deposits and no connection to GamStop. Those offers are bigger on the page and weaker in every protection that matters.

Put together: claim five no-deposit spins at a licensed casino you would consider using anyway, when no deposit is needed and the winnings are paid as cash or carry no more than 10x wagering. Expect pennies, roughly a one-in-five chance of nothing on a typical model slot, and a free look at the site. Small spin drops for existing customers are a separate thing, covered in the guide to free daily spins.

Where 5 free spins come from, and what to compare on each offer

Five-spin offers belong to UK-licensed casinos, where one of two sign-up steps releases them: a debit card saved to the new account, or the identity check passed. Casino-first brands use them most; within Flutter, Sky Vegas is the name players most link with no-deposit spins, and 888 Casino spent about a decade advertising them. Two offers of five spins can differ fourfold on spin value alone, and further on the other terms, so take each one through these rows before handing over any details.

The best five-spin offer passes the first two rows and pays its winnings as cash with a low minimum withdrawal or none; on those terms four claimants in five keep something, if usually pennies. Every other row only trims the 48p. The ranked packages are the larger alternative for a reader willing to deposit £20 or €20, but they part company with this table at the second row: their licences are offshore, and their 35x to 40x wagering sits far above the UK ceiling.

How to claim 5 free spins, step by step

1. Confirm who holds the licence. The licence holder and Gambling Commission account number belong in the site footer; look the number up on the public register before entering any details.
2. Find the trigger in the terms, not the advert. Check whether the spins come for adding a debit card or for verification, and that the words “no deposit” appear in the terms themselves.
3. Register with your real details. The identity check runs before any spin. If the automatic check cannot confirm you, you may be asked to upload a passport or driving licence, which is normal at a licensed site.
4. Set a deposit limit at the prompt. Since 31 October 2025, casinos have had to ask each new customer to choose one before the first deposit. A low limit costs nothing, even if you never plan to deposit.
5. Add a debit card only if that is the trigger. Nothing should be charged. A request for a credit card means the site is not following UK rules.
6. Play the five spins before the deadline. Open the named slot; the spins run at the fixed stake, one at a time, at least 2.5 seconds each.
7. Read the label on the balance. Cash can be withdrawn once it meets any minimum. Bonus funds with 10x wagering finished with some cash in about 3.5 cases in 100 in the model-slot simulation; you can leave them unplayed.

The whole process is quick when the electronic check passes, and longer when documents are requested. Neither path should involve paying anything in.

Claiming a package from the ranking is a different exercise. Deposits of £20 or €20 release its spins, not a saved card or a passed check, and the licence line on its card takes the place of the register search in step 1. Decide before the first payment how much the whole package may cost you, because the deposit-limit prompt in step 4 is a UK duty an offshore casino does not owe you.

What 5 free spins are worth at 5p, 10p and 20p

Return to player (RTP) measures how much of everything staked on a slot comes back over a very long run of play: 96p of every £1 on a 96% game. Each 10p free spin on such a slot is therefore worth 9.6p on average, and five of them:

5 × £0.10 × 0.96 = £0.48

Wagering changes the sum. If the 48p is paid as bonus funds with a requirement to stake it W times, every pound staked costs 4p on average, and the value left if the requirement is played through in full is:

E = B × (1 − W × (1 − RTP)) = £0.48 × (1 − 10 × 0.04) = £0.29

B stands for the average winnings and W for the wagering multiple; 10 is the highest a licensed casino can now ask for. The table runs the same arithmetic for the three spin values in use.

Two things follow from the table. The spin value matters more than anything else in the offer: five 20p spins are worth twice five 10p spins and exactly as much on paper as ten 10p spins. And wagering costs 40% of the average however small the offer, so 10x turns 48p into 29p, a 19p difference on an offer that is mostly pennies.

Five 20p spins or ten 10p spins: which pays out more often

Equal averages do not mean equal offers. Doubling the stake doubles every possible result, so the simulated outcomes for five 20p spins on Model A, the model slot described in the next section, are exactly twice those for five 10p spins. Doubling the number of spins works differently: it gives the slot twice as many chances to trigger its bonus round.

Both offers average about 96p. The ten smaller spins are the steadier offer: the chance of nothing falls from about one in five to about one in twenty-six, the typical result is higher, and even the chance of £10 is better, because two shots at the bonus round beat one shot at a bigger prize. When two offers cost the same on paper, the one with more spins usually pays something more often.

What 5 free spins usually pay: 400,000 claims simulated

The 48p average is true over thousands of claims and misleading for one. To show the spread, we simulated 400,000 sets of five 10p spins on Model A, a model slot designed to resemble the kind of game casinos choose for free spins. It returns 96% over the long run, has medium volatility, pays something on 27.9% of spins, reaches its bonus round once in every 170 spins on average, and can pay at most 2,500 times the stake, £250 at 10p. It is not a copy of any real slot, whose pay tables are not public. There is no wagering in this table; it shows what the five spins themselves pay.

The 19.5% follows from simple arithmetic. On Model A, 72.1% of spins pay nothing. Five losing spins in a row happen with probability 0.721 multiplied by itself five times, which is 0.195. The same rule explains why the figure collapses as the count grows: ten spins all losing is 3.8%, twenty is 0.1%. Five is the only common offer size where walking away with nothing is an everyday outcome rather than a rare one.

The other striking figure is the distance between the average and the median. A typical claim pays 15p, less than a third of the 49p average. The gap is the bonus round: it starts in about one claim in 34, and those few claims pay many times the rest. Working directly from the model’s outcome table, about a third of all sets (33%) return less than a single 10p stake, either nothing or one 5p win, and 82% return less than the 50p the spins were worth at face value.

What 1,000 people claiming 5 free spins walk away with

Turning the percentages into people makes the shape easier to see. If 1,000 people each claimed five 10p spins on the model slot, the results would fall roughly like this:

Of the 1,000, 924 finish under £1 and 70 between £1 and £5. Five reach £10, the minimum withdrawal at some casinos. Those five carry a disproportionate share of the value: worked out from the model’s outcome table, results of £10 or more supply about a quarter of the average, so for the other 995 claimants the offer is worth noticeably less than 49p.

Which kind of slot gives five spins the best chance of paying

The casino chooses the game, and its volatility matters more on five spins than on any larger offer. The site’s other model slots have nearly the same average return but a different spread. Model B is built to match Book of Dead’s published RTP (96.21%), high volatility class and 5,000x maximum win; Model C to match Big Bass Bonanza’s (96.71%, medium-high, 2,100x); Model D is a low-volatility 96% slot. None reproduces the real games, only their published shape.

All four average 48p to 49p over five spins. On a low-volatility slot one claim in ten pays nothing and the typical result nearly doubles to 27p, but £10 is almost out of reach. On a high-volatility slot more than a third of claims pay nothing, in exchange for a slightly better chance of a large result. For a player who wants something rather than a long shot, the five spins are worth more on a low-volatility game; the casino, not the player, makes that choice. The guide to slots free spins runs the same four models over 50 spins.

How much a win cap costs five spins

Applying maximum-win caps to the same 400,000 Model A sets shows how much of the average sits in the rare large results:

A cap touches only one claim in 200 at £10 and one in 500 at £20, yet a £20 cap removes 7p of the 49p average and a £5 cap 11p, between a seventh and a fifth of the offer. For the 99.5% of claimants below £10, a cap of £10 or more changes nothing at all; it matters only to the rare winner, and to the average.

Why casinos give 5 free spins, and what claiming costs you

An offer this small makes more sense from the casino’s side of the counter. The spins cost the operator what they pay out, and the simulation gives that figure under each common set of terms:

Somewhere between 29p and 49p per claim, then, depending on the terms. Every one of those accounts must also be verified before a single spin is played, as the rules have required since 7 May 2019. Verification is a cost the casino carries for each account opened, whether the spins win, lose or are never used, and it is incurred just as much for the 195 claimants in 1,000 who win nothing as for the five who reach £10. Casinos do not publish what verification costs them per account, so this page does not put a figure on it. The comparison that can be made is with larger offers: 20 spins on registration pay out about £1.92 per claim, four times as much, for the same single check.

That is the logic of five. The casino needs a verified customer before it can sell anything, and the spins are the incentive to finish verification now rather than later. At 29p to 49p a claim, they are a modest, predictable and often capped cost per verified account.

What you hand over to claim

Your side of the trade is paid in time and information. You give your name, address and date of birth, sometimes a photo of a passport or driving licence, and on add-card offers your debit card details. The casino holds those details from then on. You also use up something: casinos normally allow one welcome per person and per household, and frequently one per group of brands, so five spins today can rule out a larger welcome at the same site or a sister site later.

When five spins are worth the five minutes

The spins themselves take 12.5 seconds at the 2.5-second minimum spin time. Almost all of the five minutes goes on registration, the identity check and the deposit-limit prompt, and that paperwork is the same whether the offer is five spins or twenty. Measured per minute of effort, twenty spins return four times as much on average (£1.92 against 48p) and, in the Model A simulation, about seven times as much in a typical claim (£1.04 against 15p). Five spins earn their five minutes only in one situation: when you were going to open an account at that casino anyway, and the spins are a free first look at its site, its games and its withdrawal process. As a money-making exercise, they return pennies.

Keeping what 5 spins win: wagering, minimum withdrawals and time

Wagering, or a play-through requirement, means the winnings arrive as bonus funds that must be staked a set number of times before they turn into cash. At a UK-licensed casino the most that can be asked since 19 January 2026 is 10 times; offshore sites commonly ask 30x to 60x. On five spins the formula is quick: 48p of average winnings at 10x means £4.80 of stakes, 48 spins at 10p, with an average cost of 19p, leaving 29p if the requirement is played through in full.

The formula is the right yardstick for comparing offers, but it does not describe a typical session. The site’s published wagering simulations start at 10 spins, so for this page we ran the same model and method on five: the winnings from each set of five 10p spins on Model A were played on at 10p a spin until either the requirement was complete or the balance fell below one stake. One million sessions per row, repeated three times; the runs agreed to within a penny on the average and a tenth of a point on the shares.

At 10x, 96.5 sessions in 100 end with nothing. The reason is the starting balance. A third of all five-spin sets win less than one 10p stake (nothing, or a single 5p win), so they cannot place even the first wagering spin. The typical set, 15p, has to be staked to £1.50, fifteen spins, from a balance that covers one and a half of them. Only the sets that hit something larger early survive, and the few sessions that finish usually do so because of one good result: half of them end with less than about £2.65, while a handful end far higher.

The simulated average of about 37p is higher than the 29p formula because a session that runs out of money pays no more of the play-through’s cost, while the rare lucky session keeps its winnings. That average is real but it belongs to almost nobody: it is carried by a few sessions in 100. At 35x the formula is negative, −19p, meaning a full play-through would cost more than the spins paid; in the simulation the average stays at about 33p only because 1.3% of sessions finish, mostly on the back of a bonus round.

One oddity is worth knowing. On five spins, 10x wagering barely moves the chance of £10 or more (0.5% without it, 0.6% with it), because the extra spins of the play-through give a lucky few another shot at the bonus round. What wagering destroys is the small change: the share of sessions ending with £1 or more falls from 7.6% to 2.6%, and the share ending with anything falls from 80.5% to 3.5%.

Check the minimum withdrawal before anything else

Some casinos will not process a withdrawal below a minimum such as £10. Winnings under it are yours but stay in the account. With no wagering, 0.5% of five-spin sets reach £10 on their own; at 20p a spin the figure is 0.6%. Put the other way, a £10 minimum holds back 995 claims in 1,000. Even a £5 minimum would hold back 994. For an offer this size the minimum withdrawal matters more than wagering and far more than any cap, so read it first. The free £5 no deposit page shows the same trap on a cash bonus, where a £5 balance starts below a £10 minimum.

How long claiming and clearing take

Since 31 October 2021 slots have a minimum of 2.5 seconds per spin and no autoplay. Five spins therefore take at least 12.5 seconds. A 10x play-through of the average 48p means 48 more spins at 10p, two minutes; at £1 a spin it would be five spins and 12.5 seconds, but only 7.6% of five-spin sets pay £1 or more, so for most players a £1 stake is not possible. A 35x requirement would mean £16.80 of stakes, 168 spins and seven minutes at 10p, for a negative formula value.

5 free spins calculator: value an offer before you claim

The calculator is set to five spins of 10p on a 96% slot with no wagering and no cap. Change the spin value if the offer uses 5p or 20p, enter the wagering multiple from the terms (10 at most at a UK-licensed casino), the RTP shown in the named slot’s information screen, and any maximum win. It returns the average winnings, their value if the wagering is completed, and how long the play-through lasts at 10p and at £1 a spin, assuming the 2.5-second minimum per spin.

Treat the output as an average over many claims. For one claim, the simulation above is the better guide: a typical result of 15p, and nothing at all about one time in five. The same boxes work for a package from the ranking: put in its spin count, its spin value and the multiple on its card, and the result shows how little of a large headline survives 35x or 40x.

Where to look for 5 free spins: UK brands by business model

A five-spin offer is a casino-first tool: it rewards one step of the sign-up and costs well under 50p a claim. Which brands reach for it follows from how each group makes its money and how it limits welcome offers, so the business model is the best guide to where to look. The groups below are described from the facts on record; promotions change too often for any page to say which brand is running a five-spin offer in October 2026, so check the offer page itself before you register.

Casino-first brands

Within Flutter Entertainment, Sky Vegas is the casino-led brand and the name most linked with no-deposit spins. 888 Casino, which sits in evoke with 777 Casino and William Hill, opened online in 1997 and ran no-deposit spin adverts for around a decade. Kindred’s 32Red is also casino-first. A handful of spins for verifying an account suits brands like these: the casino is the product, and a verified customer is the first step towards a sale.

Sportsbook-led brands

At Flutter, Paddy Power, Betfair and Sky Bet normally attach their casino welcomes to a first deposit or a first stake, and bet365, which also owns Heart Bingo, treats its casino as second to its sportsbook and asks for a deposit. Betway runs sport and casino under one name, again with deposit-based offers, and Unibet is a sportsbook with a casino attached. For brands built this way, a no-deposit spin offer would be the exception. Since 19 January 2026 none of them can make casino spins depend on a sports bet: a promotion may no longer require two different kinds of gambling.

Groups that share accounts or platforms

Entain puts Coral, Ladbrokes, Foxy Bingo, Gala Bingo, Gala Casino and PartyCasino on a shared account structure, so the usual rule is a single welcome across the group. For five spins that matters: if they count as your welcome, they may rule out a larger offer at a sister brand. Bally’s (Gamesys) operates Jackpotjoy, Virgin Games, Double Bubble Bingo, Monopoly Casino and Rainbow Riches Casino from one platform. Its new-player offers generally take the “deposit £10, play with more” form, alongside regular small promotions for existing customers. LeoVegas, a mobile-first group owned by MGM Resorts, also runs Bet UK and BetMGM; the British BetMGM site went live in 2023 using LeoVegas’s licence and platform.

No-wagering brands and prize wheels

PlayOJO (operated by SkillOnNet) and MrQ (operated by Lindar Media) made no wagering on any bonus their selling point. Their spin counts tend to be on the small side, and the winnings from any spins they hand out are cash. For a count as small as five, that is the condition that matters: on Model A the chance of ending with any cash is 80.5% with no wagering and 3.5% at 10x. Jumpman Gaming’s sites, among them Amazon Slots, Dream Jackpot and Prime Casino, take another route: a first deposit buys one turn of a prize wheel, and the figure in the advert is the most the wheel can pay, not what it usually pays.

High-street names and the footer check

Betfred, Grosvenor Casinos, Genting Casino and Admiral Casino can be found on British high streets, so they are straightforward to check and unlikely to vanish. Other licensed names such as Magic Red, Dream Vegas, Mr.Play, Duelz and All British Casino show the company holding their licence, with its Commission account number, at the bottom of each page; check that number on the Commission’s public register before handing over your details for five spins.

For a 48p offer, the operator’s record matters more than the offer. Enforcement is published against the licence holder rather than the brand. The largest Commission fines or settlements on record for these groups are £19.2m for William Hill in 2023, £17m for Entain in 2022, £11.6m for Betway in 2020, £9.4m for 888 in 2022, £7.1m for Kindred in 2023, £3.25m for Betfred in 2023 and £582,120 for bet365 in 2024. Those records show a regulator able to act; at an offshore site there is none.

Offshore spin offers: bigger headlines, fewer protections

Offshore casinos compete on the size of the headline, so a search for small no-deposit spins that leads offshore usually ends at a bigger, looser offer: dozens of spins or a “free chip” of £50 or £100, no identity check, deposits in crypto, and a promise of play outside GamStop. It is an offence for an operator to offer gambling in Great Britain without a Commission licence. Players are not prosecuted for using such sites; they simply lose every protection described on this page. The casinos in our ranking are offshore-licensed too, and although their offers are deposit packages rather than free chips, the losses listed below apply to them in full.

The offshore names that appear in such searches, none of them licensed in Great Britain, share a handful of owners and licences. Five of them, Mystake, Goldenbet, Rolletto, Donbet and Velobet, trace back to a single Curaçao-licensed operator, Santeda International B.V.: off the UK register, outside GamStop, open to crypto deposits, free to set any wagering, and out of the Commission’s reach when a player complains. Kinghills and NineWin are young sites from a Curaçao network of sister casinos, with nothing yet in the way of a public record, advertised to British players as “not on GamStop”. Rainbet holds an Anjouan licence via RBGAMING N.V. and runs on coins such as Bitcoin, which you will not find in a UK-licensed casino’s cashier. Roobet and Gamdom, both Curaçao-licensed, started out in the market for gaming skins before becoming crypto casinos.

What a British player gives up at any of them is concrete: the 10x cap on wagering, GamStop self-exclusion, any UK complaints body that can take up a refused withdrawal, and, on crypto deposits, any protection from a bank. The arithmetic is no kinder. Five spins at 35x have a negative formula value (−19p), and in the Model A simulation 98.7% of such sessions end with nothing. A £50 free chip at 40x has a formula value of −£30; played on Model A at £1 a spin with a £100 cash-out cap, it completed the play-through in 4.6% of sessions, for an average of £4.45 and a median of zero. The licensed five spins pay something to four claimants in five and can be walked away from at no cost. The homepage section on recognising a fake no-deposit offer lists the warning signs.

Reading a 5-spin offer: what each clause does to your 48p

The clauses below are an illustration written for this page, in the style of a typical add-card offer. They are not taken from any casino’s terms. The right-hand column shows what each one does to five spins at 10p, using the formula and the simulation above.

Two of the eight clauses decide the outcome: the minimum withdrawal and the wagering line. With cash winnings and no minimum, four claimants in five keep something, however small. With a £10 minimum and 10x wagering, about 994 claimants in 1,000 end with nothing they can withdraw, since only 0.6% of sessions finish the play-through with £10 or more. The cap and the stake rule hardly matter at this size, and the expiry matters only if you forget to log in. Read the terms in that order of importance.

5-spin offers to skip: seven red flags

• “5 free spins” that need a deposit. Then it is a deposit offer, and 48p of average value is no reason to pay in.
• Wagering above 10x. No licensed casino can set it, and above 25x the formula value of 48p in winnings turns negative.
• Money taken from your card on an add-card offer, or a request for a credit card. Neither fits a licensed no-deposit offer.
• Spins before verification, or “no ID needed”. Licensed sites must check first.
• A bet required to release the spins. Since 19 January 2026 a promotion may not ask for two different types of gambling.
• Crypto deposits or “not on GamStop”. Both mark a site without a British licence.
• A small spin offer bundled with an urgent deposit match. The five spins are the free part; judge the deposit offer separately, on its own terms.

5 spins or a bigger offer: what each step up buys

Run for the counts next to five, the simulation shows what each step up buys. All rows are Model A at 10p, with no wagering unless stated.

Each step up in count does more for the typical claim than for the average. Going from 5 to 10 spins doubles the average but nearly triples the median and cuts the chance of nothing about fivefold. Going to 20 spins multiplies the median by almost seven. The 25 spins on registration page adds the effect of win caps, and the 50 no-wager spins page shows the top of the no-deposit range, where nearly every claim pays something. Beyond that sit the ranking’s packages of 150 to 500 spins, which change the deal rather than extend it: the spins are bought with deposits from £20 or €20, and winnings wagered at the 35x to 40x on their cards have a formula value below zero, as the 35x row for five spins (−19p) already shows in miniature.

A £5 no-deposit cash bonus is the other offer with a “5” in it, and it is ten times bigger. At 10x its formula value is £3.00; simulated on Model A at 10p stakes it finished the wagering 13.2% of the time, averaged £4.12 and reached £10 or more in 8.5% of sessions. On average and on the chance of £10 it beats five spins comfortably. On the chance of getting anything at all it loses: 86.8% of the £5 sessions ended with nothing, against 19.5% for five no-wager spins. Genuine no-deposit cash at licensed casinos is small when it exists at all, usually £5 to £10.

Playing safely after claiming five spins

Five spins are the gentlest possible start, which is exactly why they deserve a moment’s thought: they open an account that can take deposits from the same afternoon. The protections below come with every UK licence.

• Answer the deposit-limit prompt with a low figure. It appears before your first deposit, and a limit set while nothing is at stake is the easiest one to keep.
• Expect nothing, and accept it. One claim in five pays nothing on the model slot, and with 10x wagering 96.5 in 100 end with nothing. That is the normal result, not a loss to be won back with a deposit.
• Know the stake limits. Online slots stop at £5 per spin from age 25 and £2 per spin for anyone aged 18 to 24.
• Take a time-out if small offers keep pulling you back. Look for it in the account settings; it pauses the account for a period you choose.
• Use GamStop for a wider break. All licensed online operators have taken part since 31 March 2020, so a site that lets a self-excluded player claim spins is not one of them.

If gambling has started to feel like something you need rather than choose, the National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133, and BeGambleAware has more places to turn.

How we worked out the numbers

The averages are spins × spin value × RTP, at 96% RTP. Values after wagering use E = B × (1 − W × (1 − RTP)), which assumes the requirement is played through in full. Money is rounded to the penny.

Simulated values come from the site’s model slots. Each is a table of possible results per spin, tuned to a target RTP and volatility; real games’ pay tables are not public, so no simulation can copy them. Model A (96% RTP and medium volatility, a win of some size on 27.9% of spins, a bonus round on average every 170 spins, top prize 2,500x) carries most of this page; Models B, C and D appear in the volatility table. Each count was simulated 400,000 times at 10p, and caps were applied to the same sessions. The 20p figures double the 10p results, which is exact because every outcome scales with the stake.

Three kinds of figure were added for this page. The chance of nothing (0.721 to the fifth power), the share of sets under 10p and under 50p, and the quarter of the average supplied by £10-plus results were worked out directly from Model A’s outcome table rather than sampled. The 10x and 35x rows for five spins come from new runs of the same model and method used for the site’s other wagering figures: 1,000,000 sessions per row, a 10p play-through stake, and play that stops once the requirement is complete or the balance drops below one stake. A set that won nothing has nothing to wager and is counted as ending with nothing.

The limits: a model slot shows the shape of a typical game, not any real one; times use the 2.5-second minimum, so real play is slower; expiry is not modelled. The site’s general approach is described in how offers are evaluated and ranked.
