Volatility: prize frequency and size
Learn the difference between volatility and RTP before comparing slots.
Two different measures
RTP describes a theoretical average; volatility describes how results vary. Two games may have similar RTP values and distribute prizes very differently.
What high volatility means
A high rating generally indicates more widely spread outcomes and a greater possibility of long periods without substantial prizes. It does not mean a large prize is due or that the next round will compensate for previous rounds.
Use the information with limits
Ratings can differ between providers. Read the rules and set spending and time limits before playing. Stopping a session does not change the probabilities of future rounds.
