Slots Hold [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

Slots Hold

A slot hold is the percentage of the total money wagered that a casino retains over time.

The hold percentage reflects the casino’s advantage in a slot machine game. For example, if a slot has a 5% hold, it means the casino keeps 5% of all the money wagered, with the remaining 95% eventually returned to players in winnings. This percentage is set by the game developers and helps casinos maintain profitability while offering payouts to players.

Slots Hold Example

For example, if players wager $10,000 on a machine with a 5% hold, the casino would retain $500, and $9,500 would be paid back to players as winnings.
