Are slots linked or networked?

High volatility and low RTP are a recipe for disaster IMO. Most likely why people say they can't build or maintain a bankroll these days.

Looking for an updated list of games/RTP, is the only way to check them all individually on each casino?



That's going to take a while.

All interesting reading.

I have some follow up questions.

I never bothered looking at the i icon before and between looking at that and seeing the RTP drop now through reading this forum, maybe I was better off ignoring it before?

I can see a game at 96.52% RTP, are there any higher anywhere now?

I'm not new to slots but I am relatively new to learning about (looking at...) RTP, can somebody confirm it is the casino and not the providers changing the RTP?

Providers make the games and casinos arrange the settings, correct?

I've checked two casinos and the same game is different RTP so assume this is correct.

Questions for anybody who cares to answer -

Do you prefer high volatility or otherwise?

Does a higher RTP entice you to play or do you not care about RTP (and volatility)?

94-96% is the norm for RTP. It provides a good play experience and good profit for the Casino's. Most games will sit in this range. Lower means people don't play it, higher means not enough profit.

Noone 'changes' RTP. A games mathamatical model produces a certain RTP. Providers may have multiple mathamatical models for a game with differing RTP's. The Casino can then chooe which model they want on their site. Once it is on there, there are some regulatory hoops to go through if they want to change to a different version. They cannot just 'change RTP' to whatever and whenever they like.

Low volatility tends to be boring, so most people like medium or high. Certainly I don't play games lower than 94% RTP and a higher RTP will entice me to play, but only if the game is fun and has some potential (so med-high volatility)

Low RTP slots are indeed a recipe for disaster. But, high-variance slots are not, IMO.

I meant when you put the two variables together

A+B=C

A= Low RTP B= High volatility C= Disaster

A= Low RTP B= High volatility C= Disaster

Well, yeah, with combination of those two, I agree 100%

They would not be able to accurately determine anything by IP alone as an IP can be shared and can change as well unless you happen to have a static ip. The most likely scenario is they go by name and zip/postal code and could track very well that way. I supposed there is always a non existent chance someone else with the same name could live in the same zip/postal code as you but I would bet against it.

In a hidden string your username and which casino is being send towards the provider. They can always verify and check your every made spin. The ip adress is obsolete and only usefull for the casino.

More questions.

If you play X stake and you change to XX stake, is the game dynamics reset to that stake or is it still on the same course of strings?

Does each stake follow its own path or the same?

It seems a feature rolling in after playing a higher stake in a short period of time after grinding for a while when on a lower stake that the feature will likely make up for the amount staked during the low stake spins.

Sort of unrelated but are there any pros or cons to drops and wins promos? I always opt out but I wonder if it would change anything?

There is no 'path'. Changing stake makes no difference (unless that slot has a 'builder' feature that is stake specific. In which case that will change as you change stake.)

General slot results though are independent and random. There is no 'making up for losses' or anything like that. Games do not control play to 'hit' RTP. RTP is just a natural statistical outcome based on the games reelsets, payout values etc etc.

No pros or cons to the drops as far as I know. Opting out may even end you up with a slightly lower RTP as you'll have no chance of hitting a drop. Not 100 percent sure on that one.

Thanks, all of what you said is what I gathered it would be but wanted to be clear from any thoughts in the back of the mind.
