What Is the Hit Rate in Online Casino Slots?

The hit rate, also known as hit frequency, is a statistic that reflects how often a slot machine is expected to land on a winning combination. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates the likelihood of a win on any given spin.

How Is the Hit Rate Calculated?

To calculate the hit rate, you need two values:

• The total number of possible combinations in the slot game

• The number of those combinations that result in a win

The hit rate is the ratio of winning combinations to total combinations, multiplied by 100 to express it as a percentage.

Does a Higher Hit Rate Mean a Better Chance of Winning Big?

Not necessarily.

• A higher hit rate means more frequent wins, but those wins are often smaller

• A lower hit rate may result in less frequent wins, but potentially higher payouts

In other words, a high hit rate increases how often you win, not how much you win.

Is the Hit Rate the Same as RTP?

No, hit rate and RTP are two different things.

• RTP (Return to Player) indicates what percentage of total bets the slot is designed to return to players over time

• Hit rate only shows how often a win occurs, regardless of how much is won

For example, a game could have a high hit rate with many small wins, and still have a moderate RTP.

Can I Find the Hit Rate for a Slot Game?

Yes, you can find the hit rate for a specific slot in the Game Info section of that game on the Casino page.

Example of How Hit Rate Works

Imagine you are playing an online slot that has a total of 1,000 possible symbol combinations.

• Winning combinations: 100

• Total combinations: 1,000

• Hit rate = (100 / 1,000) × 100 = 10 percent

This means that, on average, you can expect a winning combination in 10 percent of your spins. If you spin the reels 100 times, the hit rate suggests you would win approximately 10 times, though actual results may vary due to randomness.

Key Point to Remember

The hit rate does not determine how much you win or how profitable a slot is. It simply shows how frequently a win might occur during gameplay.
