Although some players find that they have no use for the game statistics that are offered by Microgaming and other online casino software providers, other players find that they are interesting to see, and are also useful.

Spins Per Hour

Players may find the statistic showing the number of spins per hour quite useful when they are making decisions regarding their online casino bankrolls. Players will be able to predict the size of the bankroll needed for a playing session. The player can also determine the size of the wagers that they would like to place on each spin based on the size of their bankroll and the number of spins that they usually play within an allotted amount of time.

In order to work out how many spins per hour you usually play, you can make use of Microgaming's free games, and use the spins per hand statistic that you end up with from the free games session. Players are likely to play faster and faster as they become more proficient in placing their wagers, so it is worth checking this statistic every so often.

Video Poker Statistics

Other than the General tab, video poker statistics show a Win Summary tab, and an Optimal Play tab. The Win Summary shows what the outcome percentage will be for the different payouts.

The Optimal Play statistic is probably one of the most interesting statistics to keep an eye on. Video poker is best played when the player makes the optimal playing choices. The section Comparison to Optimal Play shows players the actual return they received and the optimal return they could have made if they had made the optimal choices. Players can keep track of this statistic to see how far off they are from making the best choices, and can see if their game is improving or not.

Microgaming does offer players the option to Show Hints when playing video poker. For those players who enable this feature, a hint will pop up when the player makes a choice that is not the best one to make. The section Hint Summary shows the statistics of the percentage of hands in which the player had to use the hint because they made a less than optimum choice. Players who use the hints option can also track whether their playing has improved or not.

Blackjack Statistics

The blackjack game statistics are divided into three tabs other than the General tab. The first of these is the Dealer Hand. The second is the Starting Hand Comparison, and the third is the Dealer's Final Hand.

The statistics show the dealers opening card value, and also the value of the hand once it is completed. In this way, players can see when the dealer busts, or gets a blackjack. There are percentages that show the likelihood of the dealer getting a specific value for the hand based on the face up card that is shown. Players can use this to help them decide on their strategy, but they can also use online blackjack strategy cards for this purpose.
