Slot Hold Percentage

Financial glossary · plain-language definition · Financial Statements

The share of the money fed into slot machines that the casino keeps -- slot win divided by slot HANDLE (the total amount wagered, including re-wagered winnings), shown as a percentage. Unlike table hold, slot hold is remarkably stable and predictable because it is set by the machines' programmed payout and driven by millions of small independent plays, so the law of large numbers smooths out luck. That stability makes slot handle (the volume wagered) the cleaner demand signal for the mass-market business, and a change in slot hold usually reflects a deliberate mix or configuration change rather than variance.
