Our flagship proprietary metric for measuring a pokie's "chaos" level. Developed exclusively by Way2Win AI in March 2024.
The Volatility Cycle Index (VCI™) is a statistical measure that quantifies the "chaos" or unpredictability of a pokie machine's behavior patterns over time.
Unlike static volatility ratings (Low/Medium/High), VCI™ captures real-time fluctuations in the game's payout behavior, expressed as a sigma (σ) value. A higher VCI indicates more erratic behavior.
A VCI™ σ > 3.0 signals a highly volatile mathematical phase in our simulation data. This is analytical information only.
Our Digital Twin simulation engine continuously analyzes RTP deviations across thousands of virtual spins:
Monte Carlo simulations generate statistical patterns
Calculate σ from 24-hour rolling RTP windows
Apply deterministic randomness for natural fluctuations
Output VCI™ value updated every 5 seconds
Stable, predictable behavior. Pokie operating within expected parameters.
Increased variance. Transitional phase with growing unpredictability.
Maximum unpredictability. Extreme variance detected in simulation.
This metric is derived from mathematical simulations and does not predict actual gambling outcomes. Pokies use certified RNGs. Our metrics are for educational and analytical purposes only. Please gamble responsibly.
