Start with the money, then choose the game

Most guides begin with the games. This one begins with your balance, because that is why people look at Rich88. If you have topped up a little to pass an evening, low stakes are what you need, and this maker is built around them.

Before you open anything, answer three questions for yourself.

How much is today's money?

Pick a figure you can lose without touching food, bus fare or school fees. That is the whole budget for today. It can be the lowest deposit, which is K10. Small is fine.

How long do you want to play?

A pokie spin takes a few seconds. So the number of spins you can afford is really the length of your session. Low stakes buy time.

What will you do if you get ahead?

Decide this now, not later. Some players stop when the balance doubles. Some move the winnings out of reach in their mind and keep playing only with the starting amount. Either plan is better than no plan. Withdrawals start at K50, so a small win may need to grow before it can be cashed out; the withdraw guide has the steps.

What you will find in the Rich88 list

The Rich88 list on 918Laki is made up of pokies with low starting bets. One title seen there is Buffalo King Megaways. It is a good one to understand, because the Megaways idea shows up in many makers' games.

Megaways in plain words

In an ordinary pokie every reel shows the same number of symbols each time, often three. In a Megaways game that number is not fixed. On one spin a reel may show two tall symbols. On the next it may show six or seven short ones.

Wins are counted by ways. The same symbol must land on reels next to each other, starting from the left reel. It does not need to follow a line. Multiply the number of symbols on each reel together and you get the number of ways for that spin. The game works this out and shows it on the screen, so you only need to know that a bigger number means more chances on that one spin.

What usually comes with it

Games of this type usually have wilds, which stand in for other symbols, and scatters, which start free spins when enough of them land anywhere. During free spins, wilds in many Megaways games carry multipliers. The details for this title are in its info page. Read it at your own bet, since the prizes shown follow the stake.

Why low stakes and Megaways go together

A Megaways spin can pay nothing several times in a row and then pay on many ways at once. That uneven pattern is easier to sit through when each spin costs little. It is also why you should not raise the bet just because the ways counter is high. The counter changes every spin and you cannot see it in advance.

Opening Rich88

  1. Log in to 918Laki on your phone.
  2. Tap the Pokies tab on the home page.
  3. Find Rich88 in the maker chips and tap it. The Rich88 lobby page goes to the same list.
  4. Choose a game and wait for it to load.
  5. Use the minus button to bring the bet to its lowest, then spin.

The game search works too. Type "buffalo" and the buffalo games from every maker appear, so check the maker name on the tile before you tap. Buffalo King, without Megaways, belongs to a different maker.

Small bets and turnover

Here is something small-stakes players should know before taking a bonus. Turnover is the total amount you have bet, counting every spin, win or lose. A bonus has a turnover target. Small bets reach it more slowly, because each spin adds less.

A worked example, with made-up amounts: say your Welcome Pack bonus is K10. The pack asks for 8 times the bonus, which in this example is K80 of bets. At K0.20 a spin, that is 400 spins. At K0.40 it is 200. Neither is wrong. The lower bet takes longer but each spin risks less.

Your wins go back into your balance as you play, so you do not need K80 in hand. You need the balance to last while the bets add up. That is not certain: a balance can run out before the target is met.

Does Rich88 count for the Welcome Pack?

The pack is for pokies only, and Rich88 games are pokies. Check the terms on the Promotions page before you accept, since those terms decide what counts. The Welcome Pack guide lists the bonus on each deposit.

Seeing how far you have got

Open the Withdraw page. A card shows how much you have played, the target, and what is left. The button stays grey until the bar is full. If a withdrawal is refused, the message gives the same three numbers. Every part of this is covered in turnover explained.

Or skip the bonus

A bonus adds to your balance and also adds a target. If you only want a short, light session, you can pick no bonus on the deposit page.

Habits that keep a small balance going

  1. Spin by hand. Auto-spin burns through a balance while you look away.
  2. Keep the bet where you set it. Changing it up and down does not change your luck.
  3. Take a break after any free spins round. It is a natural stopping point.
  4. Close the game when your budget is gone. Do not top up in the same sitting.
  5. Never borrow to play, and never play with money a wantok gave you for something else.

Rich88 in brief: your questions

What is the lowest bet on Rich88?

It differs from game to game. Open the game and press minus on the bet until it stops; that is the lowest for that game.

Do small bets have a smaller chance of winning?

No. The chance on each spin is the same at any stake. Only the size of the win changes with the bet.

Can I win real Kina on low stakes?

Yes, wins are real and go to your balance. Wins are in proportion to the bet, so they are smaller on small bets. No win is promised.
