Claiming a win in Hollywoodbets’ popular Spina Zonke Jackpot Race is difficult, but not impossible! Thousands of players from across South Africa have walked away with a share of over R130 million over the last few years. Here’s how you can maximise your chances of winning in the Jackpot Race.
1. Load Up Before the Race
This goes without saying, but make sure you have funds in your account before the Jackpot Race starts. The schedule for the competition is released at the start of every month, however, you can be reasonably sure that there will be a Jackpot Race every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday between 20:30 and 22:30.
Hollywoodbets has around 20 different deposit methods from instant EFT and credit card options to vouchers and eWallets. Get your funds in nice and early so you can start spinning as soon as the race gets underway.
2. Pace Yourself
Pacing yourself will be one of the most important components of your overall Jackpot Race strategy. Remember, you must spin for a minimum of R2 on participating Spina Zonke games to qualify.
Let’s use a practical pacing example with the assumption that the Jackpot Race will run for the full two hours. If you want to spin every five seconds for the duration of the race, you will need to turn over R2 880. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll need to deposit R2 880 into your account as you’ll win on some of your spins to maintain your float. Remember it’s unlikely that the Jackpot Race will go the full two hours. Even so, stick to your strategy and stay disciplined.
This strategy can always be altered depending on your budget. If you’ve only got R120 to spend, spin for R2 every 120 seconds to guarantee that you bet once every two minutes for the duration of the Race.
3. Play High RTP, Low Volatility Games
This is something that a lot of casual players might not factor into their strategies. RTP simply means “Return to Player” and makes reference to the percentage of your spend that a game will pay back to you in winnings over an extended period. For example, if a game’s RTP is 97%, you should theoretically get back R97 of every R100 that you spend.
Keep in mind, however, that RTP is based on a long-term average. You still have the chance to win or lose more than this average suggests. The average RTP for online slots sits at around 96% – so anything higher than this could be considered a “high RTP” title.
In terms of volatility: a slot with high volatility will pay out bigger wins further apart while a low volatility slot consistently pays out smaller wins. So opting for low volatility means that you’ll get more bang for your buck, allowing you to more effectively turn your float over and keeping you in the race!
Based on the above, Wealth Inn – with its RTP of 96.67% and its low volatility – is the perfect game to make your float last the entirety of the Jackpot Race.
4. Swerve the Features… or Don’t!
Many Spina Zonke titles boast exciting features that can boost your potential winnings. However, if your sole aim of playing is to win the Jackpot Race we suggest you avoid games with lengthy features. The logic here is that the Jackpot cannot be won during spins while bonus features are triggered.
However, if you’re just playing to win money – let’s be honest, most of us are – then you should embrace bonus features. Many of these features dish out free spins and apply massive multipliers to your winnings. Remember, the odds of hitting the Jackpot are slim but not impossible, but most of the prizes are of a lower rand value. You stand a better chance of winning R3 000 on a feature than you do winning one of the minor R1 500 Jackpot Race prizes.
Conclusion
Our advice? Play as would normally play during the race. If you place in the Race and win a prize, happy days! But don’t swerve the features to hunt for the big prize.
