What’s the diffrerence between the Hold and the Payout Percentage?
The “Hold” is the percentage of coins played on a Slot machine that the casino takes for itself. The “Payout Percentage” is the remaining percentage and is what the machine pays out to players. You will sometimes find the Payout Percentages for particular games on reputable casino sites. If a Slot has a Payout Percentage of 97% and it takes in $1,000 from Players over a given period of time; when it pays out, the casino will hold 3% of the take (or $30) and the remaining $970 will be paid out in winning to a lucky Player.
