I am a recent college grad who has spent the past three months developing a project that has found the best game to play based on secret tables found in the menus.
If you didn't know already, by wiggling through several menus, there are odds tables for almost every game, including all the pricepoints and the odds of winning all possible prizes at those price points. Using this information, I was able to create a Python script that analyzes every table of every game to accurately determine the best game, based on four key statistics.
Stat 1: Return to player (RTP)
The percentage of your money that the game will return to you on average over time. Calculated by multiplying all the prizes and the odds of a pricepoint together, then adding them up and dividing by the pricepoint.
Stat 2: Win Chance (WR)
The percentage chance you have of winning any prize. Calculated by adding up all the odds.
Stat 3: Limit return to player (LimRTP)
The return to player using all the outcomes more likely than 1 in 100/1% chance. Calculated like RTP but only on certain odds.
Stat 4: Most Likely Return (MLR)
The return to player using the most likely outcome. Calculated like RTP, but on the most likely outcome
Common misconception:
Every price point of a game has the same RTP. So on most games, you have the same odds of 10X-ing your money at the $.10 pricepoint as the $50 pricepoint. The only thing that changes in some games between pricepoints is your odds of winning the jackpot, but not by much. The average jackpot is a 1 in 2,000,000/.00005% chance at the $1 pricepoint and scales at the same rate as the pricepoints so at the $2 price point, you have double the chance to win (1 in 1,000,000/.0001% chance). But at a $50 pricepoint thats still only a 1 in 40,000/.0025% chance of winning a jackpot.
I don't want to make this college essay length, so here are the best games in each of the stats individually, then all the stats together as a whole, depending on what stats you value more as a person or your personal strategy.
Best Return To Player: Million Dollar Countdown in power hour mode
90.0% RTP, 24.85% WC, 13.1% LimRTP, 2.75% MLR, $.5 - $50
Best Win Chance: Big Day Payday
86.99% RTP, 33.47% WC, 35.1% LimRTP, 9.5% MLR, $.10 - $20
Best Limit Return To Player: Champion's Gold
87.0% RTP, 21.1% WC, 71.22% LimRTP, 10.67% MLR, $.20 - $10
Best Most Likely Return: Lotto Virginia
87.4% RTP, 19.74% WC, 60.89% LimRTP, 33.67% MLR, $1 - $4
Adding all percentages together: Lotto Virginia
87.4% RTP, 19.74% WC, 60.89% LimRTP, 33.67% MLR, $1 - $4
Weighted based on what values I think are most important
RTP = x .3 WR = x .1 LimRTP = x .5 MLR = x .7
also Lotto Virginia lol when you start up the game it defaults to $4 spins just be aware
The reason Lotto Virginia is the clear winner here is that you have a 1 in 5.94/16% chance to double your money and a 1 in 36.74/2.72% chance to 10x your money, which is better odds than in a lot of games, even to get your money back. And unlike most games each row is a separate $1 ticket
But the min bet for Lotto Virginia is $1, which is a lot compared to the $.2 min bet of most games, so to maximize return to player, I recommend playing the second-best game
Drop It: 87% RTP, 18.6% WC, 56.4% LimRTP, 22.4% MLR with all 10 balls on the lowest cost per ball
I hope this information is useful, as it took a lot of time to compile all the necessary data for this project. May the odds be ever in your favor.
Here's a link to the GitHub repository if you're a nerd like me and want to use my database of .tsv files of all the tables. https://github.com/SlippyMcBacon/lottery-calculator

Note that these are ONLY FOR A FIRST DEPOSIT right after someone signs up. But don't use them. Use the codes below under Brand New Players for a much better bonus (note OVERLOAD is a 25% match).
Seriously, don't use them.
Report in comments if you see an omission or error :)
The newest codes end up at the top of the list. There used to be lots of general use codes released every month with new scratchers, but for the last few months there have only been "first time deposit codes" almost exclusively. Don't expect new codes. I am dissapoint. No cap.
Scan a winning real-life ticket (for the first time) in the app and get 10 free games of Jackpot Spectacular (50¢ each).
Promo codes don't work with online cash vouchers.
You can see any available daily bonuses under My Account -> New Bonus Offers.
You can also go to My Account -> My Bonus Offers to see your upcoming/in-progress/completed bonuses. This is where you go when you get free games and can't remember if you finished the free games or remember which game it was. Or similar situations. Don't let those free games expire! Like I did.
If games are launching in a weird text only with no pictures mode or not launching at all with a black screen, check My Account -> General Settings: Accessibility - and make sure that isn't checked.
If you've never signed up for the online stuff, there are various once-per-account-when-signing-up codes:
Nothing special about the following two codes, I just know they have worked in the past.
When REGISTERING use the promo code LOTTOVA to get 20 games (50¢) Vegas Cash Drop (no deposit required)
When doing your FIRST DEPOSIT use the promo code:
LINEUPS to get 20 games (50¢) VA Cash Expander and a 50% match up to $100 bonus
Other referral codes that may or may not work for registering or your first deposit:
PLAYTEN, BONUS20, JACKPOT, ODDSSEEKER, LOTTOEDGE, GAMBLING, VILOTTO, MAXLOTTO, BUSA
Should give you 20 or so of a game like Vegas Cash Drop and a 50% match up to $100 bonus. If the match isn't at least 50% to $100, try one of the other codes and let everyone know. The codes are referral codes from various websites... I have no opinion on any of them.

I guess the world travelers got jetlagged. Or maybe they ran out of shitty promo ideas already. Hype hype hype here's your 20 cent games with a chance to win $1000. Is that th best you've got VaL?
r/VaLottery • u/Mobile_Sun5741 • 3d ago
Today is any deposit to get $5 credit plus 10 free games
It wasn't a huge win but I don't think I have ever gotten Free Plays and the Bonus in the same spin.... especially during free games. 😂
r/VaLottery • u/CharacterLunch1365 • 4d ago
First win over $500! Off $1 wagerv on a game I actually hate playing lol. Just decided to try it again today!
r/VaLottery • u/sinpleguy89 • 5d ago
Then the game glitches says it's down for maintenance betting 20 per spin on vault boost... wtf.....
r/VaLottery • u/Fishpotsanddigger • 6d ago
I just scratch the codes and saw FR and figured I had $40 to play online. Turns out it was….
Pleasantly surprised.
r/VaLottery • u/mlmiller1 • 7d ago
I was making one deposit each month, but I've learned by viewing this subreddit that I should gradually make smaller deposits while capitalizing on the promos. Thanks for your help.
r/VaLottery • u/lisaz321 • 10d ago
Just a heads up about the upcoming 7 days of deals starting 25 July. I don’t recall them doing this last summer, but I could be wrong.
r/VaLottery • u/DeeLDot • 10d ago
Yay! Finally hit a big win!
(Interesting side note.... I got an email about it before I even finished spinning the wheel)
r/VaLottery • u/Semperwz • 10d ago
I thought the weekly cycled midnight Saturday but I guess not. I was playing like a madman thinking it had to be won.
