RTP, which stands for Return to Player, is a key metric indicating the expected long-term performance of a casino game. Calculated over millions of spins, it represents the theoretical proportion of wagers a game is designed to return to players over time.

While each spin is independent, RTP serves as a statistical benchmark, meaning that over a long period, the game should theoretically pay back close to that percentage of all wagers made.

You can find the RTP for each game in the game rules section, usually accessed via the gear icon or a question mark (?) within the game.

How does RTP work in an online casino?

Each game operates using a Random Number Generator (RNG). This technology ensures that every spin is completely random and independent, and that outcomes cannot be influenced.

Because of this randomness, it’s possible for one player to win a large amount in a short time, while another may play many rounds without winning. Past results do not affect future outcomes.

Example:

A 93% RTP means that for every £1 wagered on a game, players can theoretically expect £0.93 back over an extended period.

For example, if millions of spins were played on a slot costing £1 per spin with a 93% RTP, the average return would be around £0.93 per spin over time.

Can RTP vary between games?

RTP values can vary between games and, in some cases, over time. Not all games are affected, and we’re unable to provide a list of specific games or dates. 

The most accurate and up-to-date RTP will always be the one shown directly within the game itself.

For this reason, we recommend checking a game’s RTP in the rules or paytable before playing.

What does RTP mean for the individual player?

It’s important to remember that RTP is a long-term statistical average, not a guarantee for individual play sessions.

Because each spin is random and independent:

• Losing several rounds does not mean you’re “due” for a win
• A single session may result in higher or lower returns than the stated RTP
• It may take a very long time, potentially months, for actual returns to align with the game’s RTP
• While a game might advertise a 93% RTP, individual players could experience anything from no returns to hitting the maximum payout on any given spin.
