These days there are countless online slot games and new ones are added almost daily. So picking the best online slot game for your style of play, can be hard. Especially for new players. Terms like low, medium and high volatile sound like a foreign language but are used a lot.
So what are low volatile slot games?
Low volatility is an economic or mathematical term, meaning the degree of variation from the standard, measured over time.
What does this mean in regards to online slot games? Low volatile slot games will have a small difference between the minimum and maximum amount of winnings, or return to player as they call it. With a low volatile slot game you will get a lot of frequent, but small winnings. With a high volatile slot game you will get fewer winnings, but you have a chance on big returns.
High volatile slot games are especially popular with seasoned players. But for beginning players, or low limit players, I always suggest starting with low limit slot games. Your bankroll won’t get depleted at fast and you can enjoy much more wins and bonus features. Perfect to see what all these online slot games can do. And even low volatile slot games have the option to give some big wins.
Fortunately NetEnt offers a lot of low and medium volatile slot games, so this top 10 consists of a lot of NetEnt slot games. But also some other providers for variation.
This is just a personal selection of my favorite low volatile slots and some general favorites. I will add a very brief description of the game and a demo version to give it a try.
