Dispersion of winning (volatility) in Netent online slots
While choosing a video slot, player needs to know not only for his external characteristics (the design and graphics, plot, colour scheme), but also profitability. Usually players pay attention to the RTP (return to player percentage). But this number shows only the absolute mathematical expectation of the game. It does not show the winning period (number of spins) and winning amount.
As you know, the slot machines accumulate player's bets and distribute them in winning. How much money the video slot will return to players, depends from settings of RTP. This value is usually from 95 to 99%. This value is achieved only at a long distance (millions of spins). Well, who would agree to play in slot machine, which would decrease 1-5 cents of dollar in each spin from the account balance? Therefore, the video slots give out winning at random. It corresponds to the dispersion (or volatility). It characterizes, how often will be the winning in the slot machine, and what amounts it will be. For example, the video slot 1 gives often, but a little - it means it has low-middle dispersion. Such a slot machine is with low dispersion. In the video slot 2, the winning are rare, but large - consequently, it is a slot with high dispersion.
The rate (stake) per single spin and the current account balance can influence a lot on dispersion (volatility) of online slots. If in slots with a low-dispersion we can put 1 \ 50 of our balance, then in high-dispersion slots it will be desirable to show more caution and put already 1 \ 200 from the balance. In other words, as higher the dispersion value, as longer the row of losing spins, and the winning will be much larger but rear.
Dispersion and cycles at Netent slots
How to understand what volatility online slot has? You can look at the coefficient of the maximum winning. Online slots with maximum paying out of 10,000x+ usually have high volatility. If maximum winning is 2000x - 5000x - it will be in the middle. If maximum winning is 1000x - usually this is online slot with low volatility. Usually it is so, but there are exceptions (for example Dead or Alive slot with maximum winning only at 10,000 coins).

Dependencies of values in the video slot
As you can see on the table, there is a direct connection between the coefficient of "the maximum winning" and the length of the cycle. Each slot has its own cycle, which the length of that is hidden by Netent.
Our testers established data stated in the table by testing slots. At the beginning of the cycle, the slot machine"collects" money in the prize pool and when it is full "fires" with the big win.
At the end of the cycle, the slot machine starts give winning, the size and frequency of which depend on, its dispersion. We believe that, it's in this phase of the cycle, player have increased opportunity to hit a big win. To identify the phase of the cycle is possible, only in practice - in the free game. You can learn more about choosing a video slot for winning.
