Game
Online slots
Slots are the most present format in the catalogues in scope, and the format that counts most in a bonus calculation, because they weigh 100% of the required turnover where table games weigh roughly 2%. This page explains what that changes in practice.
RTP and volatility
A machine's RTP is a statistical average computed over a very large number of rounds: it does not describe your session. Volatility describes the frequency and amplitude of returns. A high-volatility machine pays less often but more, and its displayed amounts are theoretical maximums, not averages.
The effect on the bonus
In the Rewards brands we document, slots count 100% of the required turnover, table games roughly 2%, some excluded games 0%, and double-up does not count. In concrete terms, a slot player and a table player are not playing the same offer.
The rules to read
- The maximum bet per spin, which may be forbidden on a bonus.
- Excluded games, which do not count towards the turnover.
- The duration of the offer and what happens when it ends.
- Irregular-play rules, in particular disproportionate stakes.
Frequently asked questions
Is a 97% RTP machine better?
Less good than another, no: better than another depends on volatility, on what you enjoy playing and on the bonus you intend to use.
