RTP (Return to Player) is the theoretical percentage of all wagered money a slot pays back over millions of spins. A 96% RTP means the game returns £96 for every £100 wagered long-term. It doesn't predict short-session outcomes, but higher RTP reduces your expected loss rate.

Wagering requirements specify how many times you must bet a bonus amount before withdrawing winnings. A £100 bonus with 35× wagering means you must place £3,500 in bets. Always check wagering before claiming a bonus.

Volatility (also called variance) describes how a slot distributes wins. High volatility slots pay less often but in larger amounts. Low volatility slots pay smaller amounts more frequently. Your bankroll size should match the volatility of your chosen game.

A bonus buy (also called feature buy) lets you pay a set multiple of your bet — typically 50–100× — to instantly trigger the free spins or bonus round, skipping the base game. The RTP of the bonus round is usually higher, but the upfront cost is substantial.
