"Bonus multiplier slot machines operate like regular multipliers, except the jackpot for a max bet is significantly higher, 5,000 for one coin, 10,000 for two, 50,000 for three. You usually want to bet the maximum."

"The roulette wheel is always kept spinning at a constant rate, even if no one is currently playing. The ball is spun in the opposite direction in order to ensure more randomness in the result."
