The Frustration: “Where is that high-stakes game?”
You’ve seen a streamer play a high-volatility game, but when you log into your casino, it’s nowhere to be found. Is it a myth?
The answer is player segmentation.
Casinos want to provide the right product to the right customer. A new player betting $0.10 would have their balance wiped out in minutes on an “Extreme” volatility slot like San Quentin. To prevent this, many operators use a tiered system:
- New Player Lobby: Features low-to-medium volatility games for longer sessions.
- Verified Player Lobby: After a player makes a few deposits and demonstrates consistent activity, the casino may unlock a wider range of games.
- High-Roller / VIP Lobby: This is where the high-risk, high-reward games often reside.
There’s no magic button to unlock them. It requires demonstrating consistent, responsible play over time. While we can’t unlock games for you, our platform gives you the tools to be ready. By using our Volatility Rank and VCI, you can analyze which games fit your play style before you even play them.
