Let me clarify since there seems to be confusion in the land of confusion,
According to what my eyes was reading in the rulespage of the game, the win is accoring to you wagering at the time you collect the passports.
Lets assume some spins, since I get the feeling you do not see this.
0.01 spin
0.01 spin
0.05 spin
0.15 spin
0.30 spin
0.60 spin
0.90 spin, collect passport
3.00 spin
3.00 spin
3.00 spin, collect passport
Let's assume the above bets, and two collected passports. The passports are collected at 0.9 + 3 = 3,9 bet total.
This means:
If you are really lucky (we are to believe) and get the passports at high wager, and do all the spins in between for nothing, you will have the chance to get rich! (I promise you however it wlil not work, it will take endless spins as you start upping the bet, OR - you pick TRAP TRAP TRAP). Atleast this was my prize for managing a pretty succesfull version of the tactics mentioned.
The more you loose the bigger the win is my opinion!
But then again, why do the wins in the bonus game perform so differently? I collected all swords on $3 - $6 wagers once (never again!), and I won like $50 or so, I collected a few before the traps however the wins were very small! Then I had a bonus at $0.5 - $0.75 and I won over $200!
YEEEiii....
