      Introduction

      Slots are the easiest casino game to play, but understanding RTP and volatility helps you choose games that match your bankroll and goals.

      How to play

      Choose your bet size, spin the reels, and matching symbols on active paylines produce a win. Modern video slots often add bonus rounds, free spins and expanding wilds on top of the base game.

      Rules

      Every spin is generated by a Random Number Generator (RNG), independent of previous spins. RTP (Return to Player) is the theoretical percentage returned to players over millions of spins. Volatility (or variance) describes how often and how big a slot pays low volatility means frequent small wins, high volatility means rarer but bigger wins. Bonus features like free spins or multipliers are built into a slot's overall RTP.

      Odds and house edge

      Slot house edges typically range from 2% to 10%, depending on the title. Always check the paytable or info screen most regulated slots publish their RTP directly in the game.

      Common mistakes

      Believing a machine is 'due' for a win after a losing streak is the single most common slots myth. Every spin is independent and unaffected by past results.
