Return to Player (RTP):
RTP, or Return to Player, indicates the percentage of all wagered money that a game is expected to pay back to players over a long period. For example, a game with an RTP of 85% means that, on average, 85 units are returned for every 100 units wagered. It’s important to remember that RTP is a theoretical long-term measure—it doesn’t guarantee specific results in any single session, as short-term outcomes are influenced by luck and randomness.

Volatility (Variance):
Volatility refers to how often and how much a game pays out. Low volatility games give frequent, smaller wins, perfect for players who prefer consistent, lower-risk gameplay. High volatility games offer bigger payouts but less often, suited for players willing to accept higher risk for the chance at larger rewards.

Why It Matters:
Knowing both RTP and volatility helps you choose the games that match your preferred style of play—whether you enjoy steady, regular wins or the thrill of chasing big jackpots.
