Online Slots: What to Check

Slots differ in volatility, stake range, features and published return-to-player information. They are games of chance: no pattern, system or rating can guarantee a win.

Read the game information

Before playing, use the in-game information screen to understand paylines or ways to win, feature rules, stake, maximum prize and any published return figure. A theoretical return is calculated over a very large number of plays and does not predict an individual session.

Keep control of time and spending

Set a firm time and spending limit before starting. Do not raise the stake to chase a loss, and do not assume a win is “due”. Use the operator’s reality checks, time-outs and account limits. If it becomes difficult to stop, leave the game and use the support listed on Safer Gambling.
