Common Terms Explained

Making Sense of Casino Lingo

If you’re new to sweepstakes casinos or slot games, some of the terms you’ll see might sound confusing at first. This quick guide breaks down the most common ones you’ll encounter while playing at Good Vibes Casino.

Sweepstakes Coins (SC)

A promotional currency used to play sweepstakes-style games. Wins from SC play can be redeemed for real prizes after verification.

Gold Coins (GC)

A play-for-fun currency with no cash value. You can purchase Gold Coin packages to enjoy games for entertainment only.

RTP (Return to Player)

The average percentage of total bets that a game is expected to pay back to players over time. For example, a 96% RTP means that, in the long run, the game returns $96 for every $100 wagered.

Paylines

The lines across which winning symbol combinations are counted. Some games have fixed paylines, while others allow you to adjust the number you play per spin.

Reels and Rows

Reels are the vertical columns that spin during a slot game, and rows are the horizontal lines that symbols land on. A 5x3 slot means it has five reels and three rows.

Wild Symbols

Jackpot

A large prize that can be won in specific games, often triggered randomly or by landing a special combination of symbols.
