Learn how slot volatility describes the distribution and frequency of outcomes.

QUICK ANSWER

Volatility, sometimes called variance, describes how a game’s outcomes may be distributed over time. Lower- and higher-volatility labels are broad descriptions, not guarantees about a particular session.

How to use this guide

A lower-volatility design may produce more frequent smaller outcomes in its model, while a higher-volatility design may concentrate more of its theoretical return in less frequent outcomes. Providers use different scales and labels. Compare volatility alongside the game rules and RTP rather than treating it as a ranking of quality.
