Where luck ends and skill begins
1) The essence of the question
In classic slots, the entire outcome is determined by a random number generator (RNG), and the player's skill does not affect the mathematical expectation of winning in any way. In skill-based slots, part of the result depends on skill, but this part is built into the game model so that the overall RTP remains within the specified limits. It is important to understand where pure chance ends and the zone that the player is able to influence begins.
2) Structure of the overall result
$$
RTP_{ext{total}} = RTP_{ext{random}} + RTP_{ext{skill}}
$$
$ RTP _ {ext {random}} $ - fixed component generated by RNG (spins, base characters, bonus entry).
$ RTP _ {ext {skill}} $ - range of increase or decrease in return, depending on the execution in interactive stages.
Example:
3) Where luck ends
Bonus entry: Always random, odds determined by RNG.
Basic combinations: completely random; the player cannot change them.
The initial conditions of the bonus: the size of the multipliers, the number of attempts or the timer in most cases are set by chance.
4) Where the skill starts
Mini-games and interactive: accuracy, reaction speed, strategic choices, route optimization.
Choosing risky options: "pick up or continue," using boosts within the bonus.
Stability of execution: the ability to repeat high results from session to session, minimizing errors.
5) Skill zone limitations
Cap payments: even perfect execution rests on the set maximum.
Flor skill: With a weak game, the result does not fall below the minimum value in order to maintain involvement.
Share of influence: Most Title
the skill gives 3-6% to the final RTP, the rest remains due to chance.
6) Why skill doesn't undo luck dominance
The RNG determines how often you even get a chance to apply the skill (bonus frequency).
Even with a perfect game in the bonus, the low frequency of entry into it limits the overall return gain.
The game's math is balanced so that the casino maintains a distance advantage.
7) Practical value for the player
Short distance: randomness dominates; even a good player can get a weak result.
Long distance: The skill stabilizes the bonus portion, reduces volatility and raises the average result within a given range.
Optimization: training mini-games, playing in focus, avoiding autospin in bonuses.
8) Total accrual/deferral
Luck: everything related to the loss of chances and starting conditions.
Skill: Anything related to using these odds to increase payout within the established boundaries.
Conclusion: in skill-based slots, luck and skill are linked as sequential steps of the same process. Randomness makes it possible, the skill determines how effectively it will be implemented. The player can control only his zone of influence, but not the frequency of its occurrence.

Example:
- Basic random part: 90%
- Skill range: 0% to + 5%
- The newcomer will consistently receive ~ 90-91%, an experienced player - 94-95%.
