Slots Spin Calculator
At Oddsmart, we specialise in matched-betting software and a suite of sports betting and casino game calculators, that put numbers and implied probability forecasts behind every type of bet, promotion and wager.
Our Slots Spin Calculator is the simplest tool you’ll ever need to strip away the guesswork and forecast your Expected Balance: the average return you can expect after X spins on any slot machine.
Simply input your Spin Value, Number of Spins and Slots RTP (%).

Forecast your expected balance after any set of free or paid spins by entering your session details below.
Why Use a Slots Spin Calculator?
Data-Driven Decision Making
Relying on gut instinct in casinos is a recipe for losing more than you win. When you know the Expected Balance, you can decide whether a batch of free spins or a paid session is worth your time and bankroll.
Bankroll Management
By forecasting returns, you can allocate your funds more wisely—limiting losses on low-RTP titles and focusing on session lengths that deliver the best ROI.
Session Planning
Whether you have 20 free spins or you’re planning a 100-spin paid run, the Slots Spin Calculator shows you in advance what to expect on average, helping you set realistic win and loss limits.
Promotion Evaluation
Before you commit to an offer—say, 50 free spins on “Starburst” with a 96.1% RTP—you can instantly calculate your expected return in pounds, ensuring you only chase offers with positive or acceptable long-term value.

The Calculator uses a straightforward formula to estimate your session return: Expected Balance = Spin Value × Number of Spins × (RTP ÷ 100)
Spin Value (£)
The stake you place on each spin.
Number of Spins
How many spins you plan to execute (for example, X free spins or Y paid spins).
Slot Machine RTP (%)
The published Return-to-Player percentage of the slot (e.g. 96.1).
Step-By-Step Usage of our Slots EV Calculator
- Enter Spin Value
Input the amount you’ll stake on each spin (e.g. £0.10 on micro-stake spins, £1 on medium-volatility sessions).
- Set Number of Spins
Type in how many spins you aim to play: - For free spins, that might be 20, 50 or 100.
- For paid sessions, choose your session length (e.g. 200 spins).
- Input Slot RTP
Every slot publishes its RTP (either in game information or on the provider’s website). Enter that percentage (e.g. 95, 96.5, 97.3). - Instant Results
The Calculator multiplies the above three inputs to display your Expected Balance—the average return you’ll achieve.
- If that figure exceeds your initial stake pool, the session is mathematically positive.
- If it sits below, expect a small loss on average.
Real-World Example of our Slots Spin Calculator
Let’s walk through a practical scenario:
- Free Spins Offer: 30 free spins on “Gonzo’s Quest”
- Spin Value: £0.20 per spin
- Number of Spins: 30
- Game RTP: 95.97%
Calculation:
tExpected Balance = £0.20 × 30 × (95.97 ÷ 100)≈£0.20 × 30 × 0.9597≈£5.76
So, on average, your 30 free spins are worth roughly £5.76. If the casino caps free-spin winnings at £5, you’d expect a slight under-performance compared to the theoretical EV, signalling you might be better off with an offer that allows uncapped wins or higher RTP.
Benefits of Forecasting Expected Balance Playing Slots
Identify Low-Value Offers

Advanced Tips for Savvy Bettors
Bankroll Segmentation
Allocate a dedicated “slots fund” and track EV across multiple sessions, ensuring you never exceed your monthly entertainment budget.
RTP Comparison
Compare similar titles side-by-side. A 96% RTP game will deliver £96 per £100 staked on average, while a 94% game yields only £94.
Incorporate Wagering Requirements
If free spins come with turnover terms, combine the Expected Balance with a Wagering Requirement Calculator to see your true net value.
Session Timing
Use time-based RTP fluctuations (e.g. volatility regimes) to decide session lengths or switch games when variance spikes.

Slots Spin Calculator FAQs
What exactly is RTP?
RTP (Return-to-Player) is the percentage of all stake that a slot machine returns to players over the long term. A 95% RTP slot will theoretically return £95 for every £100 staked.
Why can’t I just multiply stake × RTP?
Multiplying stake × RTP gives the average return per spin. To get the session return, you multiply by the number of spins.
How accurate is the Expected Balance?
It’s a long-run average—individual sessions will vary due to volatility. Combine it with variance modelling tools (like our heatmap simulator) for a fuller picture.
Can I use this for other casino games (roulette, blackjack)?
Yes—enter the game’s theoretical RTP and your bet size/number of bets to forecast returns for any game.
Do I need an Oddsmart account to use the calculator?
No—you can use the Slots Spin Calculator freely here online.
How do wagering requirements affect expected balance?
If free spins or bonuses carry a turnover requirement, you’ll need to stake more than just the free spins—use our Wagering Requirement Calculator in tandem to find net value.
