You don't get the tip INSTEAD of your winnings. You still get your money. The tip is a bonus.

After six winning hands, you've been paid 6 times, and you've also spelled ProTip. You now have one tip in the bank. If you don't have any borderline hands before you've had six more winners, you don't have to use the tip --- you can collect tips and use them when you need them.

On IT's slot machines, each theme is offered in "Win Often," "Win Steady" and "Win Big" versions --- touch the screen for a low, medium or high volatility version of the same game. In video poker, standard games are used, but the individual games are labeled "Win Often," "Win Steady" or "Win Big" --- Jacks or Better pitched as a low volatility game or Triple Bonus Poker as a high volatility game.

I am not sure if I understand this concept. It sounds like you get a pro tip after winning some hands. I would rather have money than tips. If you want advice you would just buy a book or software. I think this is a very bad idea unless I am missing something.

They don't use the word "volatility" -- they don't want to intimidate players. But an animated top hat called the "Prize Guy" explains what all the levels mean, so players can choose the level they're looking for.
