I used to think everyone would avoid games with low RTP once they learned what it meant, but I’ve seen the opposite. People jump into 88% RTP slots without blinking, just because they promise huge wins. I even did it myself a few times, knowing the math wasn’t in my favor. It feels like when the potential payout looks life-changing, logic takes a back seat. Why do you think so many players shrug off those warnings?
It’s because emotions always outweigh statistics in these situations. The article at https://asktotalk.com/rtp-vs-volatility-what-todays-players-actually-care-about/
explains how many thrill-seekers openly admit they don’t care about RTP at all. For them, the chance of a massive jackpot is worth more than steady returns. Slot developers know this and even release multiple RTP versions so casinos can market whichever works best. Players chasing excitement aren’t thinking about long-term odds — they’re chasing the feeling of hitting big just once.
It’s a classic case of people focusing on the story, not the numbers. Nobody brags about getting 95% of their money back slowly — they brag about the one spin that turned cents into thousands. That mindset makes low RTP feel irrelevant. The promise of excitement outweighs the slow grind of safer games, even if the long-term outcome is almost guaranteed to be worse.
