Everybody understands the concept of volatility in the stock market. This same concept can be applied slots games at an online casino. Some slot games that will either pay out large amounts or almost nothing in the short run. These are known as high volatility slot games. Low volatility games pay out small amounts regularly, and medium volatility games obviously lay somewhere in between.

 

 

The way to identify a slot game as high, medium or low volatility the player needs to check out the payout table. Check the payouts for five of a kind for the various symbols on the reels. This payout (known as a fixed jackpot) will be expressed as a multiple of the number of coins wagered.
The online slot games that are very high volatility are those games with the highest fixed jackpot of 50,000 coins or more
The online slot games that are moderate volatility are those games with the highest fixed jackpot of between 5000 coins and 10,000 coins.
The online slot games that are low volatility are those games with the highest fixed jackpot of less than 5000 coins. The slot games of this type are somewhat rare because such slot games offer little expectation to the players.
