Measure of how much multipliers fluctuate (low, medium, high variance)
Volatility measures the degree of variation in multipliers over time. Low volatility means multipliers are stable and predictable (clustering around similar values like 1.5x-2.5x). High volatility means wild swings - one round crashes at 1.1x, next round hits 8.5x. High volatility is measured by standard deviation or coefficient of variation. Volatility directly impacts strategy: low volatility favors aggressive play, high volatility demands conservative approach or skipping rounds entirely.
Low volatility session: 1.8x, 2.1x, 1.9x, 2.3x, 2.0x (tight range, predictable). High volatility session: 1.2x, 6.4x, 1.1x, 9.2x, 1.3x, 3.8x (wild swings, unpredictable). Coefficient of variation: Low <20%, Medium 20-50%, High >50%.
AI Volatility Control adjusts automatically: Low volatility → increase bets 20-25%, High volatility → reduce bets 30-40% or skip rounds. Never increase aggression during high volatility - this is when most players lose their bankroll rapidly.
