Hit Frequency describes the rate of winning spins. A hit frequency of 25% means that, on average, one in every four spins will result in a payout.
It is crucial to understand that this metric is independent of RTP. A game can have a high hit frequency by paying out many small wins that are less than the original stake (e.g., spin for £1, "win" £0.20). This metric is closely related to a game's Volatility:
- Low Volatility games usually have a high hit frequency.
- High Volatility games usually have a low hit frequency.

FAQs
Does a high hit frequency mean I'll win more money?<br>Not necessarily. It means you will have more winning spins, but those wins might be very small. A game with a lower hit frequency might pay out much larger amounts when it does hit.
