Live Casino & Slots Glossary

RTP (Return to Player) RTP is the percentage of wagers a game returns to players over the long run. What it measures, how to read it, and what it does not guarantee. Volatility (Variance) Volatility measures how swingy a game's results are: high = rare but large wins, low = frequent but small wins. Multiplier A multiplier is the factor by which a winning bet is multiplied. In live game shows it can reach thousands of times the stake. Hit Frequency Hit frequency indicates how often, on average, a game produces any win. Distinct from RTP and volatility. Outcome distribution Outcome distribution shows how many times each result appeared in a time window. The basis of any honest statistic. Hot & Cold outcomes "Hot" = an outcome appearing above its recent average; "cold" = below. Descriptive statistics, NOT a prediction: beware the gambler's fallacy. Drought (Ritardo) A drought is the number of rounds since an outcome last appeared. Useful as a historical statistic, useless as a prediction.

RNG (Random Number Generator) The RNG is the certified algorithm that produces random, independent outcomes. It guarantees fairness and rounds uncorrelated with one another. Top Slot The Top Slot is the twin reel above the Crazy Time wheel: it pairs an outcome with a random multiplier each round. Bonus Round A bonus round is a special phase, triggered by a specific outcome, offering the game's highest potential wins. Flapper The flapper is the pointer that stops the wheel on the winning segment. In some bonuses multiple flappers indicate multiple multipliers. Payout A payout is the amount paid for a winning bet, expressed as a ratio (e.g. 5:1) or as a multiplier. House Edge The house edge is the casino's mathematical advantage, equal to 100% minus the RTP. It is what makes the casino profitable long-term. Megaways Megaways is a slot engine that varies the number of symbols per reel each spin, generating up to 117,649 ways to win. Scatter Symbol A scatter is a special symbol that pays or triggers bonuses regardless of its position on the reels, without following a payline. Wild Symbol A wild is a joker symbol that substitutes other symbols to complete winning combinations, increasing the chance of a payout. Cluster Pays Cluster Pays is a mechanic where you win by forming groups of adjacent symbols, instead of on traditional paylines. Jackpot A jackpot is a game's top prize. In progressive jackpots it grows by pooling a share of every bet until it is won. Cashout Cashout lets you close an open bet by taking a partial value before the final result. Common in sports betting, not in game shows.

Live Dealer Live dealer is a game run by a real croupier in a studio, streamed in real time with outcomes from physical events. Casino Game Show Casino game shows are theatrical live games, inspired by TV formats, with wheels, hosts and interactive bonus rounds. Side Bet A side bet is an optional extra wager on a secondary event. It usually has high payouts but a higher house edge than the main bet.

Wagering Requirements Wagering requirements state how many times a bonus must be replayed before it can be withdrawn. The key factor in judging an offer. Welcome Bonus The welcome bonus is the offer reserved for new sign-ups, usually a percentage on the first deposit plus free spins. No Deposit Bonus A no deposit bonus is credit or free spins granted without paying money, just for signing up. Rare and with strict conditions. Free Spins Free spins are complimentary spins on selected slots offered as a bonus. Winnings are usually subject to wagering requirements. Bankroll Management A bankroll is the budget set aside for gambling. Managing it means setting spend limits in advance and not exceeding them, to play safely.

ADM Licence (formerly AAMS) The ADM licence is the Italian state concession authorising a casino to operate legally in Italy, with player protections. Responsible Gambling Responsible gambling is the set of tools and principles keeping play a controlled form of entertainment: limits, self-exclusion, support.
