Game Weighting

Game weighting determines what percentage of bets on a specific game count toward clearing a casino bonus wagering requirement. Slots almost always count 100%, meaning every dollar wagered contributes fully. Table games like blackjack typically count only 10-20%, meaning you need to wager 5-10 times more to make the same progress.

Game weighting exists because different games have different house edges. If blackjack (0.5% edge) counted fully toward wagering, players could clear bonuses with minimal expected loss. By weighting blackjack at 10%, the casino ensures that the effective cost of clearing the bonus on blackjack is similar to clearing it on slots.

Always check game weighting before attempting to clear a bonus. If you prefer table games, a bonus with 10% blackjack weighting and 30x wagering requirement effectively requires 300x wagering in blackjack. This makes the bonus nearly impossible to clear profitably through table play alone.
