Beginners

Volatility (also called variance) is one of the most important but often misunderstood aspects of slot games. Understanding it can dramatically improve your gaming experience and help you choose the right games for your preferences.

What is Volatility?

Volatility describes how a slot pays out:

• How often wins occur
• How large wins typically are
• The risk level of the game

Think of it as the risk/reward profile of a slot game.
