Casino Glossary

Casino words become expensive when they stay vague. This glossary organizes the terms that actually change decisions: RTP, house edge, volatility, wagering, max bet, game contribution, KYC, and withdrawal limits.

Math terms

RTP and house edge

RTP describes theoretical player return; house edge describes casino advantage. A 96% RTP slot is roughly a 4% theoretical house edge.

RTP vs House Edge

Volatility and variance

Volatility explains how rough the ride feels. High RTP does not automatically mean a smooth session.

Volatility vs Variance

Pay tables

Video poker and table-game variants can change value through payout tables, not just through the game name.

Bonus terms

Wagering requirements

The multiplier is only half the story. You also need the base amount, contribution rate, max bet, expiry, and cashout cap.

Wagering Requirements

Max bet rule

One oversized spin or hand while a bonus is active can create a serious terms issue.

Game contribution

Allowed games are not always efficient games. Slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and video poker can count differently.

Game Contribution

Cashier and review terms

Cashier language matters because it controls what happens after a player wins. KYC, approval time, transfer time, withdrawal caps, fees, and payment eligibility should be read before deposit.
