Some games require more skill than others. Some are purely luck-based, where skill has nothing to do with the outcome. Whether you're playing live dealer online casino games or a casual table game with friends, the choice of game ultimately decides what the balance of luck and skill will be.

Slot machines are typically programmed to pay out as winnings 0% to 99% of the money that is wagered by players. This is known as the "theoretical payout percentage" or RTP, "return to player". The minimum theoretical payout percentage varies among jurisdictions and is typically established by law or regulation.

To find the payout percentage on a slot machine, you can look for information provided by the casino or the game manufacturer. In many jurisdictions, casinos are required to display the payout percentage for each slot machine.
