How to use this table

  • “1 in N” is the chance for one play: ten plays give ten chances in N, still tiny for a jackpot.
  • Games with smaller jackpots usually have far better odds of a prize; the price of a play differs too.
  • Set a budget for play you would spend on any other entertainment, and keep to it.

Before you rely on it

  • Odds are for the basic play; add-ons change the price and some prizes.
  • Games change their rules and prices: the date each row was checked is in the sources. Help with problem gambling is free in every country where these games run.
