Understanding RTP and Volatility

Two numbers shape how a pokie tends to behave. RTP, or return to player, is the theoretical percentage a game pays back over the long run — looking for 96% or above is a sensible starting point. Volatility describes the rhythm of payouts: low-volatility pokies pay smaller wins more often, while high-volatility ones pay less frequently but larger. Neither figure guarantees the outcome of any single session, so it's about matching a game to your bankroll, with the details shown in each game's info window where available.

Choosing a Pokie by Volatility

Volatility points you to the right style of game.

Volatility	Payout Style	Best For
Low	Frequent, smaller wins	Longer, steady sessions
Medium	A balance of size and frequency	All-round players
High	Rare but larger wins (incl. Hacksaw)	Big-win chasers
