Is the Betty Wins Casino tournament race actually worth grinding?
Grinding the Betty Wins race myself most nights. Pokies wagering counts and that's all I care about, ah well, the top spots get sweaty late in the week ngl. Hit big last night on my favourite slot mid-race so I'm biased 🔥💰 but honestly if you're spinning anyway, climbing the board is free value. Keen to hear if anyone's finished top 3 and whether the rollover ate the prize though 🤑

That "free value" line only holds if the spins would've happened anyway — I keep my bet size flat while grinding the race or the leaderboard cost eats the prize 😅. Keen to hear whether pokies count full weight toward it or if table games get a better rate, because that changes the whole chase. Did you clear your wagering on that big hit or is it still locked up?

Maybe I'm being dumb but I only just worked out how the race scoring works 😅 keen to know if pokies count full weight too, that changes whether I bother grinding the leaderboard at all.
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Can't confirm the weighting myself since I've never chased past mid-table, but from what I've seen pokies are clearly the main point-scorer in the Betty Wins race, which suits me fine, I'm on the pokies anyway every night 🎰 I keep my bet size flat like BachLoyal said and just let the spins pile up the points. My all-time favourite slot paid HUGE mid-race last week, best session I've had in months 💰
Honest verdict: worth grinding if you're spinning regardless, dead if you'd have to force bigger bets to chase the top. Curious if anyone here has actually cracked the top three and whether the rollover made the prize feel real or just another bonus to chew through 🤔
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
If the pokies weighting question is settled, my worry with any race is the EV maths: a leaderboard prize pool spread thin at the top rarely beats flat expected loss on the spins themselves. On a small spin sample your ranking swings wildly, so unless Betty Wins posts the points formula and prize split somewhere I'd want to see them before committing serious turnover. I track my session RTP per game anyway, and grinding a race for a mid-table hat would need the prize to cover the house edge, which usually means finishing top three or it's a wash.
RTP is a long-run number.
Whale mate, the EV maths might say one thing but my gut and my balance say otherwise 😅 I grind the Betty Wins race every arvo after my shift and it's always action here, plus pokies count full weight so you're literally scoring points doing what you'd be doing anyway. Hit big last night and chucked NZ$340 in the pocket, couldn't do that on the couch 🤑🔥 The prize pool might look thin up top but I'm not chasing first place, just hover top 20 and free spins bonuses keep coming. Worth a go for sure, even MikeBet's flat bet plan makes it easy. If it dries up I'll suss something else, ah well 🎰💰
