You asked what the words on the rules screens mean, so this casino terms glossary files fourteen of them in three drawers. The next step is finding your word in the group that matches the screen you are looking at. Six belong to the game, five to a promotion and three to your own budget.
Casino terms glossary, drawer one: words about the game
These six live on a title’s info panel, and the linked ones have fuller pages if you want more than the card below.
| Term | What it tells you | Example |
|---|---|---|
| RTP, the return figure | Money returned over a huge sample | 96.5% returns about ₱96.50 per ₱100 staked, long term |
| House edge | The rest of that ₱100 | ₱3.50 kept per ₱100 staked, long term |
| Volatility bands | How unevenly the return arrives | Fortune Gems sits low to medium, Gates of Olympus 1000 very high |
| Hit frequency on spins | How often a spin pays anything | A made-up 30% means about 30 paying spins in 100 |
| Paylines and ways | The routes a win can follow | The Dog House has 20 paylines, Fortune Tiger has 5 |
| RNG | How the outcome gets picked | Each spin is drawn alone, which is why golden time claims fail |
Where these live: open the game, tap its info or paytable icon, and read before you stake. JILI publishes no RTP, so its panels and pages read “not published” for that figure.
Drawer two: words inside promotion conditions
Five words decide whether reward money can ever reach your wallet. Every peso amount here is invented for illustration.
| Term | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Turnover | Adds up your stakes | ₱20 for 100 spins is ₱2,000 of turnover |
| Effective bet | Counts the stakes that qualify | A stake on an excluded title adds ₱0 |
| Game weighting | Credits part of a stake | ₱100 at 10% credits ₱10 toward a target |
| Max bet | Caps one stake | Under a ₱50 cap, a ₱60 spin is a breach |
| Max cashout | Caps what can leave | A ₱100 ceiling turns a ₱1,500 balance into ₱100 |
Your next step with any promotion is to read those five lines together, since each one changes what the others are worth. They live in that offer’s numbered conditions, and “effective bet” is a phrase you may meet on a lobby’s withdrawal page as well.
Drawer three: words that belong to you
Nobody else sets these three, which makes them the most useful on the page.
- Bankroll, decided in advance. Spare money, fixed first. Suppose you set ₱1,000: that is the whole of the evening’s budget.
- Bet unit sizing. One standard stake. A 1% unit on ₱1,000 is ₱10 a spin, about 100 stakes of cover.
- Loss limit as a stop. The point you walk away. Halfway through a ₱1,000 bankroll is a stopping point of ₱500.
Three pairs that get mixed up
Some words sit so close together that they are swapped in conversation. The figures here are invented for the arithmetic.
| Pair | The difference | In pesos |
|---|---|---|
| Turnover and wagering multiple | One is your running total, the other the target it must reach | ₱4,000 staked against a ₱500 reward at 8x |
| Max bet and max cashout | One caps a single stake, the other caps the payout | ₱50 per spin against ₱1,000 out |
| RTP and hit frequency | One measures money back, the other counts paying spins | 96.5% back against 30 paying spins in 100 |
To use this list at a real screen, name the word you do not recognise, find its drawer above, and replace the peso amount in the example with your own before staking.
Other short reads sit on the wider casino blog shelves, and the login route at the brand’s own address is where you can open a game’s info panel for yourself.
