Slots are the most popular game here at Jackpot Capital online casino, as they are at most online and land-based casinos. We would like to take the entire article to explain a few things about slots that many gamers do not know.
We hope this discussion will enhance your fun playing slots.
Two Slots That Look the Same but are Very Different
Here we are talking about volatility and the return to player rate. Our two hypothetical slots have the same return-to-player rate. Now, as an online casino, Jackpot Capital is happy to be able to report that the normal return-to-player rate in all of our slots is about 96-97%.
The return to player rate for slots at land-based casinos is quite a bit less as we will explain later on.
The element that sets these two hypothetical slots apart is called volatility. This refers to how winnings are distributed. There are generally three levels of volatility: high, medium, and low. In a slot with high volatility, there will be relatively few winning spins and the wins will be relatively high. In a slot with low volatility, there are relatively many winning spins and the wins are relatively small. A slot with medium volatility falls in the middle.
Volatility Refers to How Winnings are Distributed
This means that in the aggregate, two slots with the same return to player rate but opposite volatility will distribute winnings very differently. So, gamers who like to play slots should consider the “real” return to player rate in slots.
We put “real” in quotes to account for volatility as well as the raw return to player rate. A gamer with a high bankroll can afford to play high-volatility slots while a gamer with an average, much more modest bankroll should probably look for slots with low volatility.

This would seem to go against the advice just given. In fact, even slots with high volatility are great fun. A gamer with a modest bankroll, which is the vast majority of gamers, can play a high volatility slot for a small fraction of his or her gaming time and then switch to slots that are more amenable to giving you a larger overall return of money.
The best advice we can give in this area is to set up your gaming session to play a game for a set period of time. Then, when the alarm rings and your session is over, you have played just one game for the entire session.
Slots are a Pure Game of Chance
We often refer to blackjack and video poker as games of skill. It is true that gamers have to make decisions on every hand in these games. The quality of those decisions is why we call them games of skill. Nevertheless, once the gamer has made his or her decision in a game of skill, luck takes over.
Slots, on the other hand, is a pure game of chance. It is very important for gamers to realize that every spin in a slot is an independent action. Here we have arrived at the need to understand the random number generator.

How Does the Random Number Generator Affect Slots?
Not only slots, but every game here at Jackpot Capital online casino is controlled by the random number generator. All of our games are digital except for Live Casino games. This differs greatly from the many games that are played live at land-based casinos.
At a land-based casino, blackjack is played live while online it is run by the random number generator. The same is true of roulette, craps, bingo, keno, baccarat and other games that are played live at a land-based casino and are run by the random number generator online.
The random number generator is less important than the fact that they do work. In slots, the random number generator can be calibrated to give the house the edge it wants. At Jackpot Capital, the house edge in slots is generally about 3-4% while at land-based casinos, the house edge is rarely less than 7% and sometimes can reach 15%.
This is one reason among many to play casino games online!
Use Our Free Play Mode to Add Fun to Your Slots Play
Jackpot Capital offers unlimited free play for two reasons. The first is so that gamers can get a feel for a game wit no risk at all. We offer about 300 games. Most new gamers here at Jackpot Capital have not played each of our many games. So, we offer free play so gamers can test the waters in games they don’t know well.
The second reason is to be able to play just to play, without putting real money down on the outcomes.
Some people have very modest gaming budgets and also don’t like to get to the point that the entire bankroll runs out. If you are having a good time but are on a relative losing streak, you can always switch to free play. The fun remains and the risk disappears!
Let Slots Spark Intellectual Interest
With the internet readily at hand, gamers can learn something about a lot of different subjects. We offer so many slots that they cover a lot of different themes. Gamers can explore ancient cultures and then enjoy the slots based on those cultures even more.
We have slots with more modern themes. We go under the sea and into outer space. We travel back to stagecoach days. Native Americans also have a role to play in slots! As we said, the internet is a great at-hand library with more information than even a large city library can hold!
So, play slots and let your mind wander as the slots help you unwind and relax. Then let your mind focus a little on one theme and become better informed!
Be Yourself is Good Advice
This means that if you find a slot that you like above all others, go with it! It also means something else more “important”. There are a lot of people online who want to sell you their “secret” for guaranteed wins at slots. Please, do not spend a single hard-earned penny on any of these schemes. They do not work!
