Estimate how long your bankroll may last based on bankroll size, bet amount, RTP, speed of play, and volatility.
Time on device is an estimate of how long a bankroll may keep a player active on a machine or game. It is based on expected loss, not on guaranteed playing time.
The calculator starts with the game RTP, converts it into house edge, estimates the expected loss per round, then compares that expected hourly cost against your bankroll or stop-loss amount.
RTP is a long-run average. A 96% RTP game does not return 96 cents from every dollar in a short session. Real outcomes are random and can move sharply above or below the average.
The faster you play, the more wagers you make per hour. More wagers means more exposure to the house edge. A small bet can still become expensive when the game moves quickly.
Volatility does not change the basic expected-loss formula, but it changes the ride. Higher volatility games can produce long dry spells, bigger hits, and shorter real sessions.
Use this Time On Device Calculator to estimate risk before you play. Do not treat the result as a promise. Set limits first, and never gamble with money needed for bills, family, rent, food, or debt.
Time on device is not the same as guaranteed playing time. It is an expected-loss estimate. The calculator looks at how much the game is expected to keep from each wager over the long run, then compares that to your bankroll. Real casino results are random. You can lose quickly, win early, or play much longer than expected.
