Why RTP and volatility are so important to attract players | Spinmatic

Attracting seasoned players is less about the Slot dazzle and more about the numbers. And for operators, understanding these numbers is a must to reel them in.

Let’s have a quick rundown of two mathematic essentials: RTP and volatility.

The maths behind the spins

In simple terms, RTP is how much a Slot gives back of what's staked over time.

For example, let’s step into your player's shoes. They place a bet of € 100 on a game boasting a 96% RTP. Simply put, over a series of spins on that Slot (usually millions of spins), that Slot will return about €96 to your players. And the sneaky €4? Well, that's the casino's tip.

But here's where luck comes in: with the game's RNG (Random Number Generator) each spin can be unpredictable, leading to more immediate wins or losses.

While the RTP is the average return, volatility is the frequency and size of those returns:

  • Low volatility: Often wins, but small payouts.
  • Medium volatility: Balanced wins and frequency.
  • High volatility: Rare wins, but big.

High RTP games often mean frequent smaller returns. However, some high RTP Slots come with a twist: they're volatile and with big payouts, like our huge popular game, Ed Jones & Book of Seth.

The key to sticky games

Seasoned players always consider RTP and volatility when picking a game. Offering diverse games ensures casinos resonate with every player's playstyle - while some players prefer to feel safer and don’t risk too much, others are in for the thrill of massive payouts.

A wise tip? Games with 90%+ RTP are player magnets on any platform! Take our Xtreme! Line, for instance, with an RTP over 99%! With titles like Fruity Beats Xtreme! or Poseidon Xtreme!, players just can't resist coming back for more.
