Direct Answer: Unlocking Extreme Variance
Providers like NoLimit City and Hacksaw Gaming create "Extreme Volatility" slots (e.g., Mental, Tombstone RIP). Because a single $100 spin can result in a $30,000,000 payout, risk-averse casinos often artificially cap bets at $10 or $20. To play these games at $100, $200, or $400 per spin, you must use high-liquidity operators like Stake that can underwrite the "Max Exposure."
The “Bet Limiter” Protocol
If you open San Quentin and see a max bet of $20, you are playing at a low-liquidity casino.
- Why it happens: The casino’s risk management software flags the game as “Too Dangerous” for their bankroll.
- The Fix: Switch to a Crypto-Native operator. Their liquidity pools allow them to accept the variance that fiat casinos reject.
