I’m not super familiar with the industry what are LTV, CPI, and RTP?
- nicoburns 6y agoLong Term Value, Cost Per Install (I'm assuming this includes things like ad spend), and Return To Player (avg. percentage of stake that players get back) I believe.
- drchopchop 6y agoLTV = lifetime value, how much $$ a player is expected to spend (usually expressed in cohorts) CPI = cost per install, needs to be lower than LTV or else you have a failed product RTP = return to player, which means on average how much a game pays back to the player over time. In Vegas, this is regulated and is generally in the 85-93% range for slots. Unless you stop playing after a lucky winning streak, you will lose money long-term. The house always wins. For a non-regulated online game it can be whatever the devs want.
- GaryNumanVevo 6y agoAny reason the RTP doesn’t approach zero?
- drchopchop 6y agoZero wouldn't be fun. You need to allow people to win, just not over time. Slots is a random series of losing, small wins, bigger wins, and very occasionally big bonus rounds (every ~100-200 spins) which is the dopamine hit. The key is that over time, the losing needs to happen more often than the winning.
