What is Win Cap?

A win cap is the maximum a single game round can pay, expressed as a multiple of the stake. Once a round reaches it, further wins in that round are not added — the cap is a hard ceiling, not a target. The number tells you less on its own than it appears to. Caps range from Twin Spin's 1,000x to Tombstone R.I.P.'s 300,000x, and the difference is not a measure of generosity: both games return a similar percentage overall, so a larger ceiling is funded by paying less often along the way. A high cap describes the shape of the distribution rather than the size of the prize you should expect. Caps that are oddly precise are usually computed rather than chosen. Play'n GO's Troll Hunters states 18,566.15x; a figure carried to two decimals came out of a maths model, while a round 20,000x was more likely picked for the banner.
