Same RTP, Different Session: What Hit Frequency Changes in a Slot

Two slots both return 96%. On one, a winning spin comes along once in five; on the other, once in two and a half. Over 200 spins at $1, both cost about $8 on average, yet the sessions feel completely different. Hit frequency measures how often a spin pays anything at all. RTP measures how much the game returns over millions of spins, so the two numbers answer separate questions. Basic arithmetic turns them into a session picture: how big a typical win gets, how long a dry spell can last and how many wins still lose money.
