Free play
A demo is not a way to win
Demo results say nothing about real-money results. A demo runs the same game, but its wins are play credits with no cash value, and a casino may run the real-money version on a lower RTP setting.
Play demos to learn how a game works and to enjoy it, not to practise for gambling with money.
