Game session on freespins: use at the beginning or at the end
1) Classification of Frispins (what exactly you have)
Before deciding "when to twist," fix the conditions:
2) Mathematics and time base
Expected FS Packet Gain:
Wagering "price" (if there is WR X × to win):
EV(FS) ≈ $\mathbb{E}[ext{win}] - ext{Cost}$.
If there is no WR → EV (FS) = $\mathbb {E} [ext {win}] $ (pure plus).
Time also costs money: Price per hour = rate × spins/hour × (1 − RTP). The FS autospin package saves your bank but wastes time.
3) Short answer: when to twist at the beginning, when at the end
Twist at START if:
Twist at END if:
4) Two playbooks: how to do it in practice
Playbook A - "FS first" (recommended for cash spins and sticky)
Fit: cash spins, sticky bonuses, deadlines, grind/WR
1. Before the start: check RTP versions, FS rate, deadline, bans.
2. Spin the entire FS package.
3. If you get a plus - Profit Lock 50-80% (if output is available) and set Trailing SW 50-70% per session.
4. Go to the main flat bet, the game in the selected slot/list.
5. Stop by timer/SL/SW/Trailing.
Plus: less risk of "dying" before bonuses/goals; free turnover.
Minus: If FS with WR, you "jumped" into the commitment earlier.
Playbook B - "FS at the end" (recommended for non-sticky from WR to FS)
Fit: Non-sticky packages where FS winnings go to WR and interfere with early cash-out.
1. Cash phase (live money): 0.8-1.2% bank rate (or 0.3-0.8% for high-vol), the goal is a quick plus.
2. Caught plus → instant output/PL: bonus/FS can burn out - this is normal.
3. If the cashout does not happen, twist the FS at the end, then decide whether to win back the WR or close the session.
4. At the WR phase - even slots, a pace of 300-450 sp/h, without Ante/Buy (if the EV Δ has not been proven).
Plus: don't block early cache-out.
Minus: Run the risk of little time/attention left by the time of FS.
5) Analysis by FS types and order of use
5. 1. Cash spins (without vager, without mouth guard) → at the beginning
Net increase to the bank; increase "survivability" and the chance to close the session in plus.
Immediately fix part of the profit (PL 50-80%), do not raise the rate "in honor of the gift."
5. 2. FS with a vager to win → depends on the goal
You win back the WR for sure - you can at the beginning: more bank → lower risk of not getting enough.
If you want to try to cache out the cache, at the end (see Playbook B).
5. 3. FS in non-sticky packages → more often at the end
Play the cache phase; with a plus - output and that's it, let the bonus/FS burn out.
If the cashout fails, spin the FS, then move on to the WR phase.
5. 4. Sticky/stuck FS → at the beginning
Output is still impossible before WR; early FS extend the distance.
5. 5. FS with max cashout → whenever but fast
The EV is bounded by a ceiling; it is more rational to spend a minimum of time on them (autospin, without turbo), better without interfering with the main goal.
6) Impact of slot volatility on order of magnitude
High-vol goal (skid-hunt): first cache session (manual mode, strict SW/PL), FS at the end - so that they do not "knock" you out of the fixing timing.
Grind/WR: FS (especially cash or sticky) is a free pillow at first; further - even slots with high HF.
Multiplier tournaments: order is not critical; more important is the slot with the "right tail" and min. bet. Twist the FS when it does not interfere with the record attempt.
7) Typical mistakes and how to avoid them
Activated FS from WR to non-sticky cache phase → closed the way to early withdrawal. Solution: first cache, then FS.
Ignoring the FS deadline → the package burns out. Solution: calendar/reminders.
"Raised on FS - I will raise the rate" → return on profit back. Solution: PL + return to base rate.
Turbo autospin at an increased rate after FS → an expensive hour. Solution: keep pace 300-450 sp/h.
Wagering WR on high-vol due to FS-winning → the risk of not getting enough. Solution: flat slots, flat bet.
Max bet/bans violated in bonus T & Cs → forfeiture. Solution: Read the conditions before kickoff.
8) Quick scripts (numbers)
A) 100 FS 0.20 each, no vager (RTP≈96%)
$\mathbb{E}[ext{win}] ≈ 100×0{,}20×0{,}96=19{,}2$.
→ Twist at the beginning, PL part of the profit, then the main flat session.
B) 50 FS 0.20, WR 30 × per win
Waiting. winning ≈ $50 × 0 {,} 20 × 0 {,} 96 = 9 {,} 6 $.
Price WR ≈ $0 {,} 04 × 30 × 9 {,} 6≈11 {,} 5 $. EV≈ −1,9.
→ If the target is a non-sticky cache out, spin at the end; if you still do WR, you can start for the "pillow."
C) Non-sticky 100% + 100 FS (WR на FS)
Cash phase: 1-1.2% bank rate; at + 40-60% → output, bonus/FS burn out - approx.
If it did not work - FS at the end and beyond WR on flat slots.
9) Checklist before pressing "Play FS"
Тип FS: cash / WR на win / non-sticky / sticky / cap?
Is this operator's RTP slot version ≥ 96%?
Deadline/promo window: date/time...
Max bet/bans (Bonus Buy/Ante) under bonus?
My plan: Playbook A (in the beginning )/Playbook B (in the end).
Session limits: SL...%, SW...%, Trailing...%, timer... min.
Profit Lock plan with a plus: ...%
10) Withdrawal
FS without a vager and sticky is almost always more profitable to twist at the beginning - it is a free pillow and reduces the risk of ruin.
With non-sticky packages, where the FS win goes to WR, it is more logical at the end: first, an attempt to cash out "live" money, then WR obligations.
The procedure for using FS is not about "increasing RTP," but about managing risk, time and cache out. Choose a playbook for specific conditions and goals, fix the limits and stick to the plan.
Before deciding "when to twist," fix the conditions:
- FS without a vager (cash spins): winning → immediately on a real balance, without WR, often without a cap.
- FS with a vager for winning: winning turns into bonus funds, you need to unscrew X × from the amount of winning.
- FS as part of a non-sticky package: live money is played separately; cache output can "burn" the bonus/FS (check).
- Sticky/stuck FS: any winnings "stick" before WR is performed; output not possible.
- Max cashout on FS: output ceiling on these FS (e.g. 50-100 y. e.) .
- Fixed rate/slot/deadline: you cannot change the rate; you need to play in one slot; are timed out.
2) Mathematics and time base
Expected FS Packet Gain:
- $$
- \mathbb{E}[ext{win}] \approx FS imes ext{Bet}_{FS} imes RTP
- $$
Wagering "price" (if there is WR X × to win):
- $$
- ext{Cost} \approx (1-RTP)imes X imes \mathbb{E}[ext{win}]
- $$
EV(FS) ≈ $\mathbb{E}[ext{win}] - ext{Cost}$.
If there is no WR → EV (FS) = $\mathbb {E} [ext {win}] $ (pure plus).
Time also costs money: Price per hour = rate × spins/hour × (1 − RTP). The FS autospin package saves your bank but wastes time.
3) Short answer: when to twist at the beginning, when at the end
Twist at START if:
- this is cash spins (without a vager/cap) - gives a free "pillow" of the bank and reduces the risk of ruin;
- sticky bonus is already active - early FSs increase bank "survivability" on WRs;
- FS has a strict deadline/promo window - so as not to burn out;
- you have a grind/WR target in the same slot - an early plus extends the distance.
Twist at END if:
- FS package with a vager to win, and you first want to try to make a cash out of live money (non-sticky logic: "cash phase → output → then FS");
- FS have a low max cashout and you feel sorry for the time at the beginning - to screw up "for change";
- you came for a brief "snapshot" of luck in the high-vol slot from the cache; FS at the end do not interfere with the time to fix the profit;
- FS are tied to another slot, which "breaks" the rhythm of the main session - twist after.
4) Two playbooks: how to do it in practice
