Core Gambling Concepts Explained

Before diving into specific games, it's important to grasp the fundamental concepts that underpin all forms of gambling. These terms are universal and will help you understand the mechanics of betting, regardless of the game you choose to play on 80jili.

Bet

A wager of money or something of value on the outcome of an event. In online casinos, this typically refers to the amount of money you stake on a game round or a specific outcome. For example, placing a bet on red in roulette or betting on a specific hand in poker.

Odds

The probability of an event occurring, often expressed as a ratio or a fraction. Odds determine how much you can win relative to your bet. Higher odds mean a lower probability but a higher potential payout, while lower odds indicate a higher probability and a smaller payout.

Payout

The amount of money returned to a player for a winning bet. This includes the original stake plus the winnings. Payouts are calculated based on the odds of your winning bet.

House Edge

The mathematical advantage the casino has over the player. This ensures that, over the long term, the casino will always make a profit. Understanding the house edge can help you choose games with better odds for the player. For instance, blackjack typically has a lower house edge than slot machines.

RTP (Return to Player)

A percentage that indicates the proportion of all wagered money a slot machine or casino game will pay back to players over time. An RTP of 96% means that for every ₱100 wagered, the game is expected to return ₱96 to players over millions of spins or rounds.

Wagering Requirements (Playthrough)

Conditions attached to bonuses that specify how many times the bonus amount (or bonus plus deposit) must be wagered before any winnings can be withdrawn. For example, a 20x wagering requirement on a ₱1,000 bonus means you need to bet ₱20,000 before you can cash out any winnings derived from that bonus.

Casino Game-Specific Terms

Each casino game has its unique set of terms. Here's a breakdown of common vocabulary you'll encounter across various popular casino games available at 80jili.

Slots

• Reels: The spinning columns on a slot machine that display symbols.
• Payline: The line on which winning combinations of symbols must land. Modern slots can have dozens or even hundreds of paylines.
• Wild Symbol: A special symbol that can substitute for most other symbols to form winning combinations.
• Scatter Symbol: A symbol that can trigger bonus features (like free spins) regardless of its position on the reels.
• Free Spins: Bonus rounds where you can spin the reels without placing a bet, often with multipliers.
• Jackpot: A large prize, often progressive, that can be won on a slot machine.

Blackjack

• Hit: To request another card from the dealer.
• Stand: To decline any more cards and end your turn.
• Double Down: To double your initial bet and receive only one more card.
• Split: To separate a pair of cards into two separate hands, each with its own bet.
• Bust: To exceed a total card value of 21, resulting in an automatic loss.

Roulette

• Inside Bets: Bets placed on specific numbers or small groups of numbers (e.g., straight up, split, street). These have higher payouts but lower odds.
• Outside Bets: Bets placed on larger groups of numbers or characteristics (e.g., red/black, odd/even, high/low, dozens, columns). These have lower payouts but higher odds of winning.
• Croupier: The casino employee who operates the roulette wheel and manages the bets.

Poker (General Terms)

• Fold: To give up your hand and forfeit any money you've already bet in the current round.
• Call: To match the current bet placed by another player.
• Raise: To increase the current bet.
• Bluff: To bet aggressively with a weak hand to deceive opponents into folding.
• Pot: The total sum of money wagered by all players in a single hand.

Sports Betting Terminology

For those who enjoy predicting the outcomes of sporting events, 80jili offers a comprehensive sports betting platform. Here are some essential terms:

Moneyline

A bet on which team or individual will win the event outright, without any point spread. Odds are presented with a minus sign (-) for the favorite (indicating how much you need to bet to win ₱100) and a plus sign (+) for the underdog (indicating how much you win for a ₱100 bet).

Spread (Point Spread)

A handicap set by bookmakers to even the playing field between two unevenly matched teams. You bet on whether a team will win by more than the spread (favorite) or lose by less than the spread/win outright (underdog).

Over/Under (Totals)

A bet on whether the total combined score of both teams in a game will be over or under a specific number set by the bookmaker.

Parlay

A single bet that links together two or more individual wagers. For the parlay to win, all individual bets (legs) within it must win. Parlays offer higher payouts but also carry higher risk.

Futures Bet

A bet placed on an event that will happen in the future, such as betting on which team will win a championship before the season even begins.

Mobile Casino and Platform Terms

As a mobile-first platform, 80jili utilizes specific terms related to online and mobile gaming:

Live Casino

A section of the online casino where players can interact with real human dealers via live video stream. Games like live blackjack, live roulette, and live baccarat offer an immersive experience similar to a land-based casino.

RNG (Random Number Generator)

A computer program used in online casino games (like slots and virtual table games) to generate sequences of numbers that lack any pattern, ensuring fairness and randomness of game outcomes. All reputable online casinos, including 80jili, use certified RNGs.

Mobile-Optimized

Refers to a website or application designed to function seamlessly and provide an optimal user experience on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets). 80jili's platform is fully mobile-optimized for your convenience.

Deposit

The act of adding funds to your casino account to use for betting. 80jili offers various secure deposit methods for players in the Philippines.

Withdrawal

The act of taking money out of your casino account, usually your winnings, and transferring it to your bank account or e-wallet.

Understanding Odds and Payouts

A crucial aspect of gambling is understanding how odds translate into potential payouts. Different formats of odds are used, though decimal odds are most common in online casinos and sportsbooks, especially in the Philippines.

Decimal Odds

These odds represent the total payout for every ₱1 wagered, including your original stake. For example, if the odds are 2.50, a ₱100 bet would return ₱250 (₱100 stake + ₱150 profit).

Fractional Odds

Common in the UK, these odds show the profit you'll receive relative to your stake. For example, 5/1 (five-to-one) means you win ₱5 for every ₱1 staked, plus your original ₱1 stake back, for a total return of ₱6.

American Odds (Moneyline Odds)

As mentioned in sports betting, these use a plus or minus sign. A -200 odd means you need to bet ₱200 to win ₱100 profit. A +150 odd means you win ₱150 profit for every ₱100 you bet.

Understanding these formats allows you to quickly calculate your potential winnings and compare betting opportunities across different platforms or events. At 80jili, our platform clearly displays the potential payout for your chosen bets, making it easy to understand your returns.

Responsible Gambling Terms

80jili is committed to promoting responsible gambling. Here are some terms related to safe and controlled play:

Self-Exclusion

A voluntary process where a player requests to be banned from gambling for a specified period (e.g., six months, one year, or permanently). This is a tool for players who feel their gambling is becoming problematic.

Deposit Limits

A feature that allows players to set a maximum amount of money they can deposit into their account over a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly). This helps manage spending.

Loss Limits

Similar to deposit limits, this feature allows players to set a maximum amount of money they can lose over a defined period, preventing excessive losses.

Time-Out

A short break from gambling, typically for a few hours or days, allowing players to step away and regain perspective without fully self-excluding.

We encourage all our players to gamble responsibly. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun or is affecting your life negatively, please utilize these tools or seek assistance.
