Volatility (Variance)
Volatility, or variance, measures how a game distributes wins over time. Low volatility games offer frequent, smaller payouts, while high volatility games provide larger wins but less frequently.
Understanding volatility helps players select games according to their risk tolerance:
- Low Volatility: Suitable for casual players seeking steady entertainment.
- Medium Volatility: Balanced approach between risk and reward.
- High Volatility: Ideal for players chasing big jackpots and willing to accept longer losing streaks.
Volatility does not affect the RTP of a game; it simply defines how wins are experienced in practice. Players should match their bankroll and session length with game volatility for optimal enjoyment.
