Game rules and promo pages share a vocabulary that is rarely explained where it appears. This casino terms glossary defines twelve of those words in plain English, with a peso example or a published figure for each, and says where in a PH33 session you are likely to meet them: a game’s info screen or a promotion’s terms. Definitions follow the standard industry meaning; the figures come from studio pages.
Casino Terms Glossary: The Twelve Entries and Where They Appear
Checked: studio-published figures used as examples (PG Soft’s Mahjong Ways page, JILI’s Boxing King and Super Ace pages, Betsoft’s Gemini Joker page) and the standard industry meaning of each word.
| Term | Where you meet it | In one line |
|---|---|---|
| RTP | Game info screen, studio page | 96% back over a vast number of rounds; JILI publishes none |
| House edge | Implied by RTP | 100% minus RTP |
| Volatility | Studio page, info screen | Small and frequent wins, or rare and large ones |
| Hit frequency | Some studio pages | How often any win lands |
| Paylines | Info screen | Fixed paths: 88 on Boxing King |
| Ways to win | Info screen | 1024 on Super Ace |
| Free spins | Info screen | A feature round with its own maths |
| Turnover | Promo terms | Every peso staked, counted each time |
| Wagering requirement | Promo terms | The multiple to bet before cashing out |
| Game weighting | Promo terms | Which bets count, and how much |
| Maximum bet rule | Promo terms | A stake cap while wagering |
| Bet unit | Your own plan | Stake as a share of your bankroll |
PH33 Casino Terms in a Promotion’s Rules
Not checked: the wording of any current PH33 promotion. Terms change, and only a signed-in account shows them.
How you can check it yourself:
- Sign in through PH33 login and find where the account lists its promotions.
- Pick one promotion and open its full terms.
- Find the four money terms: wagering, game weighting, maximum bet and expiry.
Problem: a promotion lists a multiple but no game weighting. Fix: ask the brand’s support which games count, in writing, before you accept.
Bet Unit
A bet unit is your stake per spin or hand, sized from your bankroll. With ₱1,000 set aside, a ₱10 unit gives a hundred stakes; a ₱100 unit gives ten. Casino bankroll management turns that into rules.
Game Weighting
Weighting is the promo’s exchange rate between a bet and progress on the requirement. If table games count at a fraction, ₱1,000 bet there clears only that fraction of the requirement. The rate is set per promotion and printed as a percentage.
Verdict: six of these words describe a game and six describe money; know which kind you are reading.
Casino Terms in Practice: Three Worked Examples
- RTP to house edge. PG Soft prints a 96.92% RTP for Mahjong Ways, which leaves a 3.08% edge, built into every outcome rather than charged at the end.
- Turnover against wagering. A ₱100 credit carrying 30x needs ₱3,000 of qualifying bets. Spinning ₱20 at a time, you would need 150 spins if every bet counted in full.
- Hit frequency against volatility. Gemini Joker’s 14.97% hit rate means about one round in seven pays something; its Medium volatility describes how big those pays tend to be.
Problem: a promo looks generous until you read the maximum bet rule. Fix: find the cap first; a single oversized stake may cost you both the bonus and anything won with it.

How to Get Started
-
Find which screen the word is on
Game words sit on a title's info or rules screen; money words sit in the promo terms. Knowing which screen tells you whose rule it is.
-
Turn every multiple into pesos
When a term gives a multiple, such as 30x, multiply it by the real amount. A peso figure is harder to misread than a ratio.
-
Copy the four promo terms before accepting
Note four items: the multiple, the weighting by game, the stake cap and the deadline. Those four decide what an offer is worth.
