RTP describes a long-run average

Return to player (RTP) is a percentage that describes a game’s designed return over a large number of plays. It is not a promise that a player will receive that percentage back during a particular session, nor a prediction of the next result. Individual outcomes vary.

The Gambling Commission explains that actual performance is measured by comparing total wins with total turnover over a sample of plays. It also says volatility affects how much observed results may vary around the designed figure, especially when the sample is small. That distinction matters: an RTP figure is a long-run game statistic, not a personal budget forecast.

Check the exact game version

A title may have different variants, settings or published information. If you are reading a particular game’s rules, identify the exact version and find the figure in its own information panel. This site has not tested games or measured RTP. We do not infer a result from a title, studio or review.

RTP does not make a game profitable or predictable. It should not be used to justify increasing stakes or trying to recover losses. For related concepts, read volatility and the table-game rules guide.
