The Border RTP, volatility and max win

RTP: the default return to player is 96.17%, meaning that over a very large number of spins the game is designed to pay back around 96.2 units for every 100 wagered. Some casinos may run a lower configuration; the info screen inside the game shows the exact figure. How RTP works.

Volatility: The Border is a very high volatility slot. Most sessions will be dominated by small wins and dead spins, with the bulk of its return concentrated in rare bonus rounds. A short session can easily lose its whole budget without a meaningful hit – the demo is the safest way to see how swingy it really is. Volatility explained.

Max win: the maximum payout is 44,288x the stake. What max win really means.
