About Marcus Wagner

His topics are payout rate, volatility, house edge, and which figures actually describe a game.

His basis is the games' info panel and published terms — no internal data and no in-house measurement series.

A sound measurement of a rate would need hundreds of thousands of rounds; a few thousand spins do not even separate 96 % from 88 % from noise.

What his texts do not contain: rankings of “best” games, claims about cycles, or forecasts for individual spins.

How these articles are written

  • Figures are taken from each game's info panel.
  • Every calculation is written so a reader can repeat it with their own numbers.
  • Where a figure is missing, the article says so instead of estimating.
„The rate is in the info panel — everything else is packaging." – Marcus Wagner, Editor for game figures and arithmetic, Dumanbet Casino

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Marcus write about?
Payout rate, volatility and house edge — the figures available before you play.

Does he analyse his own play series?
No. A few thousand rounds do not even separate 96 % from 88 % from noise; a sound test would need hundreds of thousands.

Where do the numbers come from?
From the games' info panel and from published bonus terms.

Does he recommend particular games?
No. The articles show where the figures are and how to compare two games.

Is there a system that beats the house edge?
No. Stake progressions only shift when a loss occurs, not its expected value.
