Why it matters

Some providers offer casinos several RTP settings, so the same game can pay back less at one site than another.

In practice

RTP is a theoretical figure calculated over millions of rounds and confirmed by testing labs. Your own session can finish far above or below it. Look for the RTP in the game’s rules or help screen, because that shows the setting your casino actually uses.

Example

97% RTP equals a 3% house edge.
