Winning Hit Frequency in Online Slots Explained

Imagine you're in a casino, and it's your first time playing the slot machines. You sit down at a machine that has three rows of symbols on the screen and is flashing bright colors. The game begins with a loud woop sound-and then stops abruptly. A few minutes later, there's another wop! And then another one after that. What are the odds of winning?

That depends on how many times the reels spin before they stop again forming some winning combination - which is called "hit frequency." In order to win on slots online often enough, you need to have what's called an average hit frequency (AHF) higher than 20%. This is what can be expected in medium or low volatility slot machines.
