But what are the different ways to measure slots volatility?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to discuss this concept and how you can separate high and low volatility slots. But let&#8217;s first cover what exactly this term means.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Slots Volatility?<\/h2>\n<p>Volatility is the measure of how wild results vary from the long-term average.<\/p>\n<p>For example, an online slot might offer 95% payback. But a highly volatile slot could see you lose much more or less than this amount within a few thousand spins.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, a low volatility slot has a better chance of reaching the stated payout percentage within a short sample size.<\/p>\n<h2>How do You Measure a Slot Machine&#8217;s Volatility?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/giovannis-tems-slots-300x171.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"171\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/giovannis-tems-slots-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/giovannis-tems-slots-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.slotsmamma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/giovannis-tems-slots.jpg 995w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>One of the best ways to measure slots volatility is by looking at the jackpot. <\/p>\n<p>A big progressive jackpot often alludes to a very volatile game. The reason why is because the game makes up for the large top prize by paying out less frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a smaller jackpot means that a game has low volatility. These games don&#8217;t have to make up for as much at the top.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to measure slots volatility is the amount of bonuses available. Games that have lots of special features won&#8217;t pay as much, because they&#8217;re giving out so many bonus payouts.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you should also look at the number of available multipliers. If a slot is offering 5x and\/or 10x multipliers, then it can&#8217;t afford to pay as often on a short-term basis.<\/p>\n<h2>What Volatility should You Choose?<\/h2>\n<p>The preferred volatility of a slot machine is a personal matter. You may love chasing big jackpots and could care less about earning small wins.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, maybe you&#8217;re the type of player who&#8217;s obsessed with winning as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, you simply need to think about what&#8217;s most important to you and act accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volatility is a crucial factor with regard to your chances of winning with slots.
