01

Low, medium and high volatility

These labels are used to describe different patterns of payout size and frequency, but studios may present them differently. Check whether the game itself explains its volatility.

02

Use volatility as a fit question

Think about whether a game’s pace and stake range match your entertainment budget. Do not increase a stake because a feature has not appeared or because a slot is labelled high volatility.
