RTP and Volatility, Side by Side
RTP is the long-run share of stakes a slot returns — a 96% game pays back 96 for every 100 wagered across millions of spins, not within your session. It nudges the odds, but it says nothing about how a game feels to play.
Volatility is that feel. Low-volatility slots pay small and often and stretch a bankroll; high-volatility games pay rarely but larger. Read the two numbers together to know what kind of session you are signing up for.
