Choosing your first slot

Nine slots and how to choose your first

Nine slots, two volatility bands and one question: how much swing suits your first session? I sort them by pace, provider and theme so you can choose before you head to Here2Win Casino.

How to pick a first slot from these nine

Start with volatility, then let the theme break the tie. Every slot in this hub is either medium or high volatility, so your real choice is how widely results should swing and whether you would rather spend the evening with Egyptian pages, fruit reels or reels that change height.

This hub suits a newcomer who wants nine concrete names instead of a long lobby. I would begin in the medium group and keep the high group for when you know how a session feels. For a broader tour of the brand and its games, start from the slots guide on the home page.

The volatility scale in one read

Volatility describes how widely results spread around a slot's average. It is a measure of spread and makes no promise about what a session pays. Here is the whole scale, once:

  • Low: results stay closer to the average, so a session tends to move in small steps. None of these nine sit here; the calm end of the scale lives in Steady Slots.
  • Medium: a middle spread. Five of the nine belong here: Bonanza, Book of Gods, 24 Hour Grand Prix, 7s Deluxe and Almighty Bear Megaways.
  • High: the widest spread, with quieter stretches and occasional larger results. Four of the nine belong here: Apollo Pays, 10001 Nights Megaways, Benji Killed In Vegas and Blood and Shadow 2. The full high end is laid out in Big-Swing Slots.

RTP is a separate number. Across these nine it runs from 93.79% on 24 Hour Grand Prix to 96.51% on Apollo Pays, and it describes the long-run return over a very large number of spins, not what one evening will do.

Five of the nine list a Bonus Buy option: Bonanza, Book of Gods, Almighty Bear Megaways, Benji Killed In Vegas and Blood and Shadow 2. A purchase costs more than a single spin, so price it against your session budget first, and check the bonus terms before buying while you are wagering a bonus. More on setting limits sits on Responsible Gaming.

Four providers side by side

Nine slots come from Big Time Gaming, Red Tiger Gaming, Nolimit City and Blueprint Gaming. Here is how each one's games line up.

The four providers across the nine slots: games, pace and RTP range
Provider Games here Pace mix RTP range
Big Time Gaming Apollo Pays, Bonanza, Book of Gods One high, two medium 96% to 96.51%
Red Tiger Gaming 10001 Nights Megaways, 24 Hour Grand Prix One high, one medium 93.79% to 95.69%
Nolimit City Benji Killed In Vegas, Blood and Shadow 2 Both high 96.04% to 96.09%
Blueprint Gaming 7s Deluxe, Almighty Bear Megaways Both medium 95% to 96.14%

Big Time Gaming is the only provider here with games in both bands, and its two medium slots, Bonanza and Book of Gods, both list bonus rounds and a Bonus Buy option. Nolimit City's pair are both high volatility, both dark in tone and both list the same two features, so once you know one, the other will feel familiar. Blueprint's pair are both medium: a fruit classic and an animal slot with a Megaways format.

Red Tiger's 24 Hour Grand Prix has the lowest RTP of the nine at 93.79%. The middle value across the nine is 96.04%, so this one sits below it. Its retro racing look is the draw, not the return figure.

Megaways in two slots: reels that change height

Megaways uses a dynamic reel modifier: reel height and the number of ways to win can change between spins. So the layout is not fixed, and two spins in a row can offer a different number of ways.

Two of the nine use the format: 10001 Nights Megaways from Red Tiger, a high-volatility slot set in the Arabian Nights, and Almighty Bear Megaways from Blueprint, a medium-volatility slot of animals and card symbols. That pairing shows that Megaways describes the reel format, not the pace: one game is high and the other medium.

If shifting reels sound fun but you want to ease in, I would try the medium one first. Almighty Bear Megaways also lists bonus rounds and a Bonus Buy option, so the budget note above applies to it.

Which first slot fits your mood

Match the atmosphere you want, then check the pace on the card.

If you want one name to start with, I would take Bonanza: medium volatility, a goldmine adventure and bonus rounds, from Big Time Gaming. If you plan to use the welcome package on a first visit, read the terms on Bonus before your first deposit. Wagering and a time window apply to each step, and the free spins there run on a fixed list of games that is separate from the nine slots on this page.

Old-school fruit reels

7s Deluxe is the fruit-themed slot of the nine, at medium volatility from Blueprint Gaming, with an RTP of 96.14%.

Egyptian pages

Book of Gods is a medium-volatility Egyptian slot with bonus rounds and a Bonus Buy option, and it sits at 96.35% RTP.

Shifting reels

For a first look at Megaways, try Almighty Bear Megaways at medium pace. Move to the high-volatility Arabian Nights slot only once you like the format.

Retro racing

24 Hour Grand Prix pairs a retro cars theme with medium volatility. Its RTP of 93.79% is the lowest of the nine.

Greek gems

Apollo Pays is a high-volatility slot of Greece, gems and card symbols, with the highest RTP of the group at 96.51%.

Pick a mood, set a budget, then play

Choose one slot from the list, decide your session budget before you open it, and stop when that budget is spent. When you are ready, Here2Win Casino is the next step.
