Big Loss & Win Analytics
Defining a "large" result
In gambling studies of 2025, it is considered large:- Major loss - over 2,000 AUD per game session.
- A large win is a payout greater than 10 times the deposit or AUD 1,000 and above.
Average losses
About 18-20% of players record major losses at least once a year.
Mass players lose up to 2,500 AUD per session in high-volatility slots.
High rollers have a much higher range: 5,000-15,000 AUD in one session.
In offline halls, losses are more often higher due to the lack of bonuses and larger bets - the average major loss is estimated at 3,000 AUD.
Winnings dynamics
Only 8-10% of players receive large winnings (from 1,000 AUD and above) during the year.
In online casinos, large winnings are more common due to the variety of slots and bonus mechanics: the probability of at least one large winnings per year is about 12%.
In offline machines, the indicator is lower - 6-7%, since the assortment is limited.
Jackpots form a separate category: the probability of winning them is less than 0.1%, but the amount of payments reaches hundreds of thousands of AUD.
Loss to win ratio
For every 10 big losses, there are 3-4 big wins.
Average scale difference: A player who loses 2,500 AUD gets back an average of 1,200-1,500 AUD in a "big win."
This confirms the negative mathematical return embedded in RTP (return to player), which in slots is on average at 94-96%, but works in favor of the casino over a long distance.
Differences by player category
Rookies: More often record big losses (up to 2,000 AUD) than winnings.
Experienced: they distribute bankroll better, they are more likely to win big - up to 15% per year.
High rollers: at the same time, both large losses and large winnings are most often received. Their spending is higher, but the chances of hitting the jackpot are much higher.
