Hit frequency is the percentage of spins that produce any win. A 30% hit frequency means roughly three in ten spins pay something — though many "hits" return less than the wager.
Hit frequency shapes a game's rhythm and is a key input to volatility: high hit frequency with small prizes feels steady; low hit frequency with large prizes feels explosive. It's tuned alongside RTP when balancing a game's math model.
