My name is Volodymyr Tkachuk. I use Pokie Paytables to describe the way casino games function, covering their numbers, features and rules.
What you'll find here
This blog focuses mainly on pokies, though it occasionally features table games. I discuss:
- ways to win and paylines
- the triggering of hold-and-spin features and free spins
- the meaning of volatility and RTP for a session
- the funding of jackpots
Comparing a slot's original version to its sequels to identify their differences is one of my favourite tasks. A jackpot gets trimmed in one version, a reel gets added in another, or a bonus is retuned so that every release pays in its own way.
Who it's for
It's for anyone who has viewed a paytable and wished for a simple explanation. A background in maths isn't required, only some curiosity.
How articles are made
Every entry begins with the game sheet from the provider, which provides the published RTP, hit frequency, max win, and the rules for features. I verify these particulars using other trustworthy sources, including documents from regulators and testing-lab reports. I state it when a detail can't be confirmed. I update the article whenever a provider updates a game.
