I look at the withdrawal reputation first. I pay more attention to how the casino handles complaints than the overall rating. I also prefer doing a small deposit and withdrawal test before putting in more money.
Hi loceff13, a few come to mind, especially feature-heavy slots where the bonus rounds and gameplay make them more enjoyable even with a slightly lower RTP. For me, good volatility, entertaining features, and a bonus that doesn’t take forever to trigger can matter more than a small difference in RTP.
I check RTP sometimes, but I don’t let it decide everything. A game with a slightly lower RTP can still be more enjoyable if the features and gameplay are better.
I usually look at the overall experience first, including the volatility and how the bonus rounds work. RTP is useful for comparing games, but I think enjoying the game still matters a lot.
