Terminator 2: three builds, 4.76 points apart

SIDEWAYS ONLY 2.0 s TO PLAYABLE TIGHT BUTTONS FREE DEMO

Two seconds to load, no portrait build, and three licensed return configurations that sit nearly five points apart from best to worst.

4 TAPS FROM THE LOBBY Search box to a spinning board

Sideways only, and even then the controls sit close together. The stepper is a millimetre from the button that spends money. The demo pulls about 9 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 2.0 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.

This title ships in more than one return build

Games Global (Microgaming) licenses 3 configurations of Terminator 2. The spread from top to bottom is 4.76 points, which is about C$48 in expected cost per C$1,000 staked. Same reels, same features, different maths.

Lowest build 91.86% 8.14% C$48

How to see which one you are on, in three taps

  1. Open the demo and tap the burger or the ⓘ in the game's own toolbar, not the casino's.
  2. Scroll the info panel to the bottom. The return figure is printed in the rules footer.
  3. Compare it to the table above. If it is not the top row, that is the build you are being served.

123 of the 306 titles on this board carry more than one build, so this is worth doing once per game rather than once ever.

Forty eight dollars per thousand staked

96.62%, 94.19% and 91.86%. The T-800 vision feature and the 1024 ways free spins play the same in all three. Only the rules footer inside the game tells you which one loaded, and it takes three taps to reach.

Jurassic Park from the same studio and the same year has an even wider spread.

On the handset

No upright build, controls tight, thirty cents a spin, about 67 spins on a twenty. Medium volatility, 5,200x ceiling, 243 ways on 5x3 rising to 1,024 in the feature. Two seconds is the one thing it does well.
