RTP and volatility, explained

What return-to-player figures and volatility mean, and what they do not.

Return to player

RTP is a theoretical long-run percentage calculated over a very large number of plays. It does not tell you what will happen in one session, and a game with a higher RTP can still lose you money quickly.

Volatility

Volatility describes how results tend to be distributed: lower volatility usually means smaller, more frequent outcomes; higher volatility means larger swings. Neither makes winning more likely.

Using the information

Check the game’s own information screen, because the same title can be offered with different settings. Use these figures to understand a game, never as a strategy to recover losses.
