Strategies
Synttärit is a weird beast. It has the second highest expected
return (after
Kaikki tai ei mitään with Onnenapila). Unlike Kaikki tai ei mitään, Synttärit has a very high variance, almost has high as
Jokeri. It's not clear which kind of
player would prefer Synttärit over both Jokeri and Kaikki tai ei mitään.
If you are looking for thrill, Jokeri has a higher jackpot. If you are
looking for more consistent returns, why go with a high-variance game?
Play Synttärit if you have reasons to believe that the birthdate and
initial of your cat will bring you good luck.
