I used to think RTP was the most important thing when picking a game, but lately I’ve noticed I care way more about the excitement during the session. A game with a high RTP but slow gameplay just feels boring, while high-volatility slots keep me on edge, even if I don’t always win. It feels like most people I know are chasing those intense highs rather than steady returns. Do you also feel volatility shapes the experience more than RTP?

It makes sense when you think about how people chase experiences in almost everything. In sports, finance, even entertainment, the dramatic ups and downs capture attention more than steady results. That emotional rollercoaster is what people talk about and remember, not the safe and predictable outcomes.
Same here. I used to check RTP before anything else, but when I tried high-volatility games, I finally understood why people love them. Even with average RTPs, the rush of landing a massive multiplier or a bonus round was way more satisfying than grinding out small returns. I came across this article that breaks it down really well: https://asktotalk.com/rtp-vs-volatility-what-todays-players-actually-care-about/. It shows why volatility, not RTP, is driving most modern players, especially those who want faster, more intense sessions.
