Do ELK Studios games count toward bonus wagering?
Slots usually count 100% toward wagering requirements, so the expected cost of wagering is simply the house edge. With a typical slot at 96.00% RTP, every $1,000 wagered costs about $40 on average. The formula is: expected cost = amount to wager × (house edge ÷ contribution %). You can run your own numbers in our wagering requirement calculator.
