Eclipse Crown Games: The Rules of Every Kind of Game

Eclipse Crown games include slots from Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and BGaming, live roulette and blackjack, digital table games, quick games, scratch cards, keno and video poker. Every title lists its own rules and RTP in the game information; this page explains how each kind of game works and which house rules apply while you play; for adults aged 18 and over.

How slots work

You choose a stake and spin; wins form when matching symbols land on paylines or, in some games, in clusters or across ways to win. Features such as free spins or multipliers trigger on specific symbols described in the paytable. Classic slots usually have three reels and one to five paylines with fruit, bells, bars and sevens; video slots add more reels and features.

Slot mechanics explained

• Megaways: each reel shows a different number of symbols on each spin, so the ways to win change; wins usually form on adjacent reels from the left.
• Hold and Win: special symbols lock for respins, each new one usually resets the counter, and the round ends when respins run out or every position is filled; many titles include Mini, Minor, Major and Grand jackpot symbols.
• Book: the book symbol acts as wild and scatter, and one random symbol expands across reels during free spins.
• Bonus Buy: the feature can be bought for a price shown as a multiple of the base bet; the round can pay less than it costs.
• Cluster pays: groups of touching symbols win, often with tumbling reels that drop in new symbols.

Roulette rules

European roulette has 37 pockets, numbers 1 to 36 and a single zero, and you can bet on single numbers, groups of numbers, colours or odd and even. French roulette uses the same single-zero wheel with a different table layout and French bet names, and some French tables apply La Partage or En Prison to even-money bets; the table rules say whether they apply. Payouts, limits and special rules vary between tables.

Blackjack, poker and baccarat

In blackjack the aim is to beat the dealer's hand without going over 21; variants differ in the number of decks, the dealer's rules and the side bets offered. Casino poker variants are played against the house, not other players. In baccarat you back the Player, the Banker or a Tie. Paytables, betting limits and RTP vary between titles.

Live tables

A human dealer runs each round, streamed in real time, and you bet through the on-screen interface. Each table shows its rules, minimum and maximum bets and payout table; blackjack tables also show seat availability and side bets. Roulette bets close shortly before each spin, and the selection of open tables follows the studio schedule.

Quick games

• Crash: a multiplier rises from 1x until it crashes at a random point; cash out before it does, or the bet is lost.
• Plinko: a ball drops through pegs into a slot with a set multiplier; many versions let you pick rows and risk.
• Dice: predict whether a roll lands above or below a chosen number.
• Mines: reveal tiles and stop at any time; hitting a mine ends the round.

Scratch cards, keno and video poker

A scratch card's result is decided when you buy it; revealing the panels only shows it. In keno you pick numbers from a larger pool, and payouts depend on how many are drawn and how many you picked. Video poker deals a five-card hand: you hold cards, draw replacements and are paid on the final hand, with paytables that differ by variant.

House rules while you play

• Low-risk roulette: equal bets on red and black or even and odd, or covering 25 or more of 37 numbers, is not allowed and can cancel bonuses and winnings.
• Bonus bet ceiling: €1 to €3 per round while wagering, including doubles and bought features.
• No delaying features: saving spins or bonus rounds until wagering ends is prohibited.
• No bots or collusion: automated software and cooperation between players to influence outcomes are prohibited.
• Report errors: software bugs must be reported, not used.

RTP, volatility and randomness

RTP is a theoretical figure calculated over a very large number of rounds and does not predict a session. Volatility describes how wins are spread: high-volatility games, such as many Megaways titles, may pay less often but in larger amounts. Lucky symbols and themes are decoration only; every result is random.

Tournaments

Each tournament publishes its schedule, eligible games, scoring method and prizes. Some require an opt-in, a currency or a minimum bet, and play before opting in may not count; bonus prizes carry their own wagering.

Availability

Some games may be unavailable in some countries because studios set their own restrictions, and Bonus Buy can vary by region. The lobby shows what you can play. On a phone, see our mobile page.

Games and safer play

Fast games make limits more important; a wager limit caps total bets however quickly you play. New players can take up to €5,200 + 400 free spins over four deposits; terms apply, 18+. See our bonus rules page and our responsible gambling page.
