RTP, return to player, is the share of all the money staked on a slot that the game pays back over a very long run. A 96% RTP game keeps about 4% of everything staked across millions of spins. It says nothing about your next ten spins.

What is volatility?

Volatility describes how the game pays: low volatility pays small wins often, high volatility pays rarely but bigger. Two games with the same RTP can feel completely different because of it.

Can the same slot have a different RTP?

Yes. Many studios ship each game in several RTP versions and let the casino choose. Our slot catalogue lists the highest version and the lower ones a casino may run, and the game's own info screen shows the one you are playing.

What does a session cost?

Roughly: your stake per spin, times the number of spins, times the house edge (100% minus RTP). Real sessions swing far above and below that, which is exactly why they are hard to judge.
