Coin UP Volcano RTP: how to read it and price it
- 4x3Layout
3 Oaks has not published an RTP or a maximum win for Coin UP Volcano, so the figure that matters is the one in the paytable of the build your licensed operator installed. This page shows where to find that figure and how to turn it into the cost of a session.
Step one: read the panel
Open Coin UP Volcano at your licensed operator, tap the menu and open the game information screen. The return, the stake range and the jackpot line are printed there for the version in front of you. It takes about thirty seconds.
3 Oaks describes the mechanics in full on its own game page but has not published the RTP or the maximum win, so check the paytable in your casino.
Step two: convert it to a house edge
Subtract the return from 100%. Whatever figure your panel shows, 100 minus that figure is the house edge: the share of every dollar wagered the game keeps over the long run.
Step three: price a thousand spins
Multiply your spin cost by a thousand to get turnover, then multiply the cost per point by the edge your panel shows.
| Spin | Turnover per 1,000 spins | Cost per percentage point of edge |
|---|---|---|
| C$0.25 | C$250 | C$2.50 |
| C$0.50 | C$500 | C$5 |
| C$1 | C$1,000 | C$10 |
| C$3 (three lines at C$1) | C$3,000 | C$30 |
Two cautions: the cost is a long-run average over runs far longer than anyone plays, and the line selector multiplies the turnover column directly.
Where the return is stored on this game
The percentage tells you the size of the house’s share; the structure tells you how you will experience it. Here, value concentrates in the Hold and Win round, and within that round at the two board thresholds.
The three lower jackpot tiers (the full ladder is Mini 10x, Minor 20x, Major 50x, Grand 500x, Royal 1,000x) land as tagged coins and arrive often enough to shape ordinary rounds. The Grand needs the bottom three rows. The Royal needs all twenty-four cells.
The volcano family as a benchmark
| Title | RTP | House edge | What it means for the comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coin UP Volcano | see your casino's paytable | not published | The newest release: UP row modifiers, Royal 1,000x on a 4x6 bonus board |
| Coin Volcano | 95.66% | 4.34% | The original on a 3x3 board, one mechanic |
| Coin Volcano 2 | 95.66% | 4.34% | 3x5 grid, four fixed jackpots up to Grand 500x |
| 3 Coin Volcanoes | 95.68% | 4.32% | Life, Multi and Grow volcanoes; Royal 2,000x |
| 3 Super Coin Volcanoes | 94-96% | 4%-6% | The other title where your operator’s configuration decides the cost |
| Jungle Volcano | 95.80% | 4.20% | Hold & Win, Power Bonus and free spins at high volatility |
| Lava Coins Hold and Win | 94.63% | 5.37% | The highest edge in this table |
| Lava Coins 2 | 95.50% | 4.50% | A modest premium for collectors |
Most of this family’s edges cluster between 4.2% and 4.5%, so a figure in that band is ordinary for a 3 Oaks volcano slot.
