How to Read RTP and Volatility
RTP is the theoretical share of stakes returned to players over a very large number of spins. At Betlion, most slots range between 94% and 97%. Volatility shows how often and how large the wins are.

Live Casino at Betlion: Dealer Tables and Game Shows
Live tables are streamed in HD from professional studios, with real dealers and real equipment. Players bet through the on-screen panel and can use the chat. Live roulette and blackjack often offer higher theoretical returns than slots. The minimum stake on live tables starts at ZMW 5.

Tips for Live Tables
Check table limits before sitting down
Use a stable 4G or Wi-Fi connection for smooth video
Set a session budget before the first bet
Remember that live games contribute only 10% to bonus wagering
Crash Games and Instant Games
Crash games are short rounds in which a multiplier rises until it crashes. The player must cash out before that moment. Rounds last seconds, and stakes start from ZMW 1. The same section includes mines, plinko, dice and coin-flip formats.

Table Games and Jackpots
Digital table games run on random number generators and are quicker than live tables. Stakes start from ZMW 2. Variants include roulette, blackjack and poker formats.
Jackpot games are a separate section. Fixed jackpots offer prize pools of up to ZMW 500,000. Progressive jackpots keep growing until a winner is drawn. Selected slot tournaments have prize pools of up to ZMW 100,000 per event.
