Understanding Volatility (Variance) is the key to managing expectations in slots. High volatility games deplete your balance quickly but offer a chance for massive wins. Low volatility games preserve your balance but rarely pay big.
Our Slot Simulator uses statistical modeling (Normal Distribution) to estimate your session outcome without you needing to risk a cent.

How to Use the Slot Simulator
- Start Balance & Bet: Enter your budget (e.g., $500) and bet size (e.g., $1).
- Spins: How many rounds do you plan to play? (e.g., 1,000).
- RTP & Volatility: Set the Return to Player (e.g., 96%) and the volatility level (Low/Med/High).
- Analyze the Risk:
- Chance to Bust: The probability you hit $0.
- Chance to Double: The probability you reach 2x your starting balance.
Example: High vs. Low Volatility
Simulating 1,000 spins with a $500 balance:
- Low Volatility (Starburst): You have a very low chance of busting (<5%), but also a low chance of doubling. Your balance will likely hover around $450-$480.
- High Volatility (Book of Dead): The chance of busting increases significantly (e.g., >20%), but the chance of doubling also rises. This illustrates the “Go Big or Go Home” nature of volatile slots.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this simulator guarantee results?
No. This is a statistical approximation based on standard deviation. Real slot machines have complex RNGs and bonus mechanics that can create “black swan” events (extreme wins or losses) not perfectly captured by a standard distribution model.
