Our verdict
Balloon’s player-paced rounds make it feel more like a personal game than a shared event. SmartSoft doesn’t publish its RTP on the game page. Best for short, solo sessions.
RTP & odds explained
Your win chance at any target is the RTP divided by the multiplier. Here's how often each target hits over the long run, so you can pick your style: steady low targets or big multipliers.
| Target | Win chance | About 1 in |
|---|---|---|
| 1,20x | 80,8% | 1,24 |
| 1,50x | 64,7% | 1,55 |
| 2,00x | 48,5% | 2,06 |
| 5,00x | 19,4% | 5,15 |
| 10,00x | 9,70% | 10 |
| 100x | 0,97% | 103 |
Calculated at an illustrative 97% RTP because this game's RTP is not yet verified.
