Betting Glossary
From RTP to Asian Handicap — clear definitions for every term you'll encounter at seg77.
RTP (Return to Player)
The percentage of total bets a game pays back over time. A slot with 96.5% RTP theoretically returns ₱96.50 for every ₱100 wagered — over millions of spins. Higher RTP means better long-term value for players.
Asian Handicap
A sports betting format popular in the Philippines that eliminates the draw outcome by giving one team a virtual head start. It levels the playing field between unevenly matched sides and is widely used in PBA and international football betting.
Over/Under (Totals)
You bet on whether the combined score of both teams will be over or under a set number. No need to pick a winner — just predict total scoring. Very popular in NBA and international basketball betting.
House Edge
The mathematical advantage built into every casino game. Baccarat has one of the lowest house edges (around 1%), while some slot side bets can exceed 10%. Choosing low-edge games stretches your bankroll further.
Wagering Requirement
Also called rollover — the number of times bonus funds must be bet before withdrawal is allowed. A ₱1,000 bonus with 20x requirement means ₱20,000 in total bets before you can cash out.
Live Dealer Casino
Real human dealers run the game from a professional studio, streamed in HD to your device. You place bets via an on-screen interface in real time. Baccarat, Roulette, and Blackjack are the most popular live formats in the Philippines.
Slot Volatility
High-volatility slots pay out bigger amounts less frequently — think risky, high-reward. Low-volatility slots pay out smaller amounts more often, making them ideal for casual play with a limited budget. Medium volatility sits in between.
Progressive Jackpot
A jackpot that grows every time a player bets on any linked machine — across the entire network. When someone hits the jackpot, the pool resets and starts building again. These can reach hundreds of millions of pesos.
Cashback
A percentage of your net losses returned to you — usually weekly. For example, 10% cashback on ₱5,000 of losses gives you ₱500 back. It's a common loyalty perk that softens losing streaks without complicated wagering terms.
Odds Formats
Decimal odds (2.50) are common in Asia; fractional (3/2) in the UK; American (-150/+130) in the US. At seg77 you can switch between formats. Decimal is the easiest: multiply your stake by the odds to get total return.
Free Spins
Bonus rounds that let you spin a slot without using your own funds. Winnings are usually subject to a wagering requirement. Free spins are most commonly awarded as a welcome bonus or via slot game scatter symbols.
Scatter Symbol
A special symbol in slots that pays regardless of its position on the reels (no need to land on a payline). Scatters often trigger free spins or bonus rounds — they're some of the most valuable symbols on any slot machine.
