I know this isn't really what you're asking for but I'd like to offer a post with an actual picking instead of most posters above.

Have you ever played crypto-based slots like the ones at Crypto.Games and Bitvest? The former has several settings for low to high volatility -- throw in the low house edge and you'll get as many 1.1x or 2x as you want. Bitvest has the same. Six default settings (lowest volatility is 20x or so on every combination) but also the ability to set your own payout. Pretty easy to set 5x settings to often, sacrificing rarer 500x.


I'm actually waiting for a slots maker to do something similar -- not that it'd entice me much.

Currently, slots are one of the many types of gambling that have reached their peak considering that this is a gambling game that is quite popular and has many fans. When compared to when it first appeared, the volatility of this game is very different. Currently the chances of winning are very small. And to get just one win, I have to experience several defeats first. This is a type of chance gambling. This is the easiest type of gambling to play, because remembering that in playing this gambling, we are not really required to have tricks, strategies and skills, we are only required to have good self-control and understand a little about the game involved. . This is the easiest game to play, but difficult to win.

But it cannot be denied that this type of gambling was deliberately created and designed in such a way as to provide large profits for the casino. And from several articles that I read, it actually states that "the biggest profits obtained by casinos are mostly generated from slot games." Slots have made a huge contribution to casinos.

Honestly speaking, based on my observation as a slot player for a long, volatility isn't a big deal now to most gamblers. Generally, if we do some interviews with some slot players out there, surely they will say that there's not much difference now between low and high-volatility slots as in the end, they will still experience being wrecked.

Sometimes, some gamblers are lucky at low volatility then unfortunate at high volatility slots, and vice-versa. Not sure about how volatility works in physical casinos but at least in online casinos, players pick slots now based on design and how attractive the huge multiplier is in the banner of that said game.
This is a theory that sounds likely to me in a way.
On one hand more and more people are taking their gambling activities online. But on the other hand, the whole promotion of gambling games really hasn't done much to show players what's supposed to happen and what the features are when they are playing slots.

So these new gamblers don't really seem to care that much.
It has also been my experience that newer online gamblers care more about graphics other than stats and important metrics such as RTP and house edge. Might sound counter intuitive, but I guess the wave of streamer promotion might have played a role in this.

It seems not, because slots with high volatility will have much higher betting amounts too and of course in these games can cost more money.
In contrast to low volatility slots which have lower bets even though the winnings may be much bigger or the chance of getting jackpot will be greater at high volatility.
But honestly I agree with you that whether in high or low volatility it will be the same where destruction is the last thing you will feel.

This happens because the slot game is game of luck and in this game luck is the main factor in winning.
What is different is that as I said before, high volatility has much larger winning number because the bet amount is not low and also the opportunity to win is very difficult.
I try and understand that high volatility games are very difficult to win, on average, those who win are gamblers with quite large finances.
But what is currently quite popular are slot games which can provide large multipliers with low bet amounts.
Some gamblers choose games like this because they can play longer.

Maybe now the situation is different from before, where there is not much competition between casinos and not many slot game providers added to casinos. The large number of slot providers in the casino also determines volatility or other factors. But I don't understand and I'm also not looking for slot games with a certain volatility.

But if people can't win their big wins, it's because they didn't have their luck, making them curious to try again. Of course, in slot games, we should not chase after winning because it will be difficult and there is a possibility that we will experience a lot of losses.

I don't know if I remember correctly, maybe I have a wrong perception of how things used to be, but at least I think it used to be easier to find slots with lower volatility.

First things first, I like low volatility slots because even though they have a lower roof of winnings, you have chances to be winning more often. I understand that many people want to play slots thinking that they might hit the highest winnings... But that's not everyone.

And my experience has been that those seeking lower volatility in their slot runs, have a hard time finding such games in online casinos these days. Especially since the games are made by certain providers who for some reason only focus on extremely high volatility.

For comparison, I recently went to a casino to see how it would be, and I was amazed that they had some of the older slot machine games (think 2010s) and the options on volatility were great.
I found slots with a max win of 150x and on that machine o would frequently hit the 5x too. Winning often in slots is something I really like but sadly with high volatility won't allow such frequent wins.

I'm not sure why providers are doing this lately, perhaps high volatility is mkre profitable to them? Either way... Don't you also think there should be more options to the player in therms of volatility?
