How to read a comparison
RTP
The higher figure is cheaper to play over the long run. A difference of half a point is 50p per £100 staked. See RTP explained.
Volatility
This is usually the more important difference. Two slots a fraction apart on RTP can give completely different sessions. See volatility explained.
Maximum win
A higher maximum generally comes with higher volatility. It describes the rarest possible outcome, not a likely one.
Ways to win
Paylines, both-ways lines and pays-anywhere grids change how often something connects, not the overall return.
