How to win at Universal Monsters: The Phantom's Curse pokie? (conclusion)
Many of you know how we will start this paragraph, but let's just repeat it: always test the pokies in demo mode before you start playing real money. We tried it on almost all bets, and we dare say you can play from minimum to maximum. The recommended betting balance is about 100. If you have up to 150 bets, it is better. A strategy that worked during our tests: we lost about 50x total bets from the balance on small bets, then we raised 1 - 2 levels and returned our money, even though we won some. We have repeated this process in several game sessions. We can recommend the pokie for bonus hunters to fulfil the casino wagering requirements.
