High Volatility
High volatility (high variance) is a slot characteristic that describes a game that pays out less often, but can deliver large wins when it does. High-volatility slots can go many spins without a meaningful win, and much of their win potential is tied to bonus features, free spins, or multipliers. These games usually offer the highest maximum wins. On a numeric volatility scale, high-volatility games sit at the top end, for example, 8–10 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Low Volatility
Low volatility (low variance) is a slot characteristic that describes a game that pays out often, but mostly in small amounts. Low volatility slots keep your balance relatively stable, with fewer sharp drops or big jumps. The trade-off is a lower maximum win compared to medium and high volatility games. On a numeric volatility scale, low volatility games sit at the bottom end, for example, 1–3 on a scale from 1 to 10.

M

Medium Volatility
Medium volatility (medium variance) is a slot characteristic that describes a game with a balance between how often it pays out and how big the wins are. Medium volatility slots mix regular small wins with occasional larger payouts, often from bonus rounds or free spins. Some providers lean these games toward one side, labeling them low-medium or medium-high volatility. On a numeric volatility scale, medium volatility games sit in the middle range, for example, 4–7 on a scale from 1 to 10.
