Toward a wagering requirement, which is counted in turnover, pesos staked on different games count at different rates. It is common for operators to set contribution rates by game category — slots, table games, live dealer and others can each differ — given that the categories vary in house edge and in how predictable short-run outcomes are. Next to each game type, the terms give a percentage, which is the rate the operator has chosen for that category in that specific promotion.
A worked example
A hypothetical promotion, used only to show the mechanism, states that slots contribute 100% and table games contribute 10%, which means ₱100 bet on a slot clears ₱100 of the requirement whereas ₱100 bet on a table game clears only ₱10. Never assume the category rates from another operator’s offer, because any real promotion states which categories get which rate in its own terms and the industry has no fixed figure.
The common misreading
An easy assumption to make is that every ₱100 wagered clears ₱100 of the wagering requirement, whatever the game. It applies just to games with a 100% contribution. Extensive play on a game that contributes at a lower rate, or at 0%, can leave the requirement almost untouched or entirely unmoved, and the weighting table itself is the only warning.
A wagering requirement is the multiple that has to be cleared, while game weighting, which is not that requirement, is the rate different games count toward it. Stake size is what a maximum bet rule caps, so it is not the same as a rate of contribution.
Using it in practice
Choosing games for a bonus comes second; first, read the weighting table in the terms of that specific promotion. Players can end up needing far more turnover than they think when their favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at a much lower rate than assumed. Keep it in mind next to what wagering requirement means, which those same pages tend to bring up in the same breath.
Wherever the studio leaves out the figure behind a term such as Game weighting, the game pages on this site state that gap openly, and they never borrow a number from a comparison site. You will notice gaps in a number of the spec tables here, and that explains them.

What gets misunderstood about Game weighting?
An easy assumption to make is that every ₱100 wagered clears ₱100 of the wagering requirement, whatever the game. It applies just to games with a 100% contribution. Extensive play on a game that contributes at a lower rate, or at 0%, can leave the requirement almost untouched or entirely unmoved, and the weighting table itself is the only warning.
Does a casino have the power to alter Game weighting?
Not on this site's evidence. Game weighting is a value fixed by the game's own mathematics, so it is the studio's and not the operator's, and if the studio leaves it unpublished no outside source is able to confirm it either.
