    Free spins: More spins or multipliers?

    Is it better to go for more spins or more multipliers on such a bonus round?
    For example,

    12 spins at 4x
    16 spins at 3x
    24 spins at 2x

    all effectively have a value of 28... but is it better to hope for one big hit in 12, or spread the risk over 24 smaller wins?!

    I know that many user prefer to play only 12 spins with 4x multiplier (i think you mean Loaded), but i always play there 24 with 2x multiplier, because i had so a € 200.- win with my 24th spin with only a € 1.- bet

    Btw. 24 spins are also better, because 12 spins costs me € 12.- and 24 spins € 24.-, so 24 spins are even € 12.- more for me

    EV(payout% is the same), but the variance is different of course.

    If retriggers was allowed it would be better to pick 24 free spins, but this is not the case in Loaded or any other game where you have such a choice.

    Definitely Loaded there!

    If I'm doing OK I usually go for the 12 spins & hope for a really big hit, but if things are not so good I'll take the 24 for more chances of a medium hit, if you see what I mean.
    As Zoozie says, at the end of the day it doesn't really make any difference.

    What do you do?

    And I'd like to hear which option people chose on Dolphin Tale...
    Again I usually just go for 5 spins & hope for x20 & a mega win - how about everyone else?

    I'll never do this, because on Dolphin Tales are the wins generally very rar, so in this 5 free spins you can also get nothing and by 25 free spins is more possible.
    Btw. i'll never play Dolphin Tale in the future, because you must very often make 200-300 spins, or more, to get the free spins!
    So i prefer cashanova, because there you get very often the bonus round or free range bonus, although the wins are not always so big, but i can play a little bit longer, as on all another Video Slots

    ...excluding "Mystique" on Crypto where you get to choose and it can retrigger

    If you are betting small then probably go for the 12 spins - if you are betting out of your depth then take 24 spins.

    So if they retrigger, do you pick again and then add the number to the remaining free spins?

    most time i take the 15 or 20 Spins, therefore the middle, it's also a Feeling to choose the correct one.

    and i play also with 20 lines not with 40
