How Knowing These Terms Changes Your Game

Spotting the difference between volatility and house edge tells you something real about a slot like Mardi Gras Riches before you stake a dollar. Knowing what rollover means stops a bonus from catching you off guard. On the payment side, understanding how Play+ prepaid and PayPal withdrawals move through the verification step puts you in control of your own cashout window. We

built this reference so you can read any part of the lobby or your account settings and know exactly what you're looking at — no guesswork, no surprises.

Fundamental Terms Every Player Should Know

These are the words that show up on game cards, paytables, and lobby filters. Knowing them helps you pick the right title for how you want to play.

Return to Player — the percentage of all wagers a game is designed to pay back over millions of rounds. A 96% RTP means the game keeps 4% as its margin on average.

The mathematical advantage the game holds over the player. A 2% house edge means for every $100 wagered, the house expects to keep $2 across a large sample.

Volatility describes how often and how large a game pays. High volatility means fewer wins but bigger amounts; low volatility means smaller, more frequent payouts over a session.

The total amount you bet, distinct from your balance. Turnover is the running total of all stakes placed and is used to calculate bonus completion and account activity.

The largest possible prize on a slot, either a fixed amount shown on the paytable or a progressive figure that grows with each bet until a player hits the qualifying combination.

A real person dealing cards or spinning a wheel in a studio, streamed to your screen in real time. Classic Baccarat on our live floor uses this format with multiple camera angles.

Odds, Wallet, and Account Terms Defined

These terms cover the sportsbook side, how your money moves, and the account steps that happen behind the scenes when you deposit or withdraw.

A margin set by the sportsbook to level two uneven NFL teams. Betting the favorite means they must win by more than the spread; backing the underdog means they can lose within it.

A bet on whether the combined score of both teams in a game will be above or below a number set by the sportsbook. Common on NFL, NBA, and MLB markets.

The amount you must wager before a bonus balance converts to withdrawable cash. A $50 bonus with a 5x rollover means you need to stake $250 in eligible games first.

A digital payment account — PayPal, Venmo, and Play+ all function this way — that holds a balance you can move to and from your mdlottery account without a direct bank transfer each time.

Know Your Customer — the identity verification step where you submit a government ID and address proof. KYC clears before your first withdrawal is processed and is a standard account requirement.

A single bet combining two or more picks from the same game — for example, an NFL quarterback's passing yards and the final score — where all legs must hit for the parlay to pay.

How These Terms Apply Inside Your Account

Definitions are only half the picture. Here's how these terms show up in real account actions — deposits, withdrawals, game choices, and sportsbook bets.

RTP is shown inside the game details panel when the provider exposes it. Not every title displays a figure — where it's available, you'll find it before you place your first stake.

You'll be prompted to upload a valid government ID and a recent address document. Once our team confirms both, your Play+ withdrawal request moves through the standard processing queue.

Yes. Link your Venmo account under the payment section of your account wallet. Deposits reflect quickly; withdrawals route back to the same Venmo account after KYC is complete.

Key West Reels plays at steadier intervals; Moon Crash, a crash-style title, builds a multiplier that can end at any moment. Higher volatility means less predictable session swings either way.

Sportsbook credits typically count toward rollover when placed on moneyline, spread, or total bets at the minimum odds shown in the terms. Same-game parlays on NFL or NBA markets usually qualify.

Pause the session and open the in-game rules card — every live table, including Classic Baccarat, has one. For deeper questions, live chat is available from the same browser tab.
