What does RTP (Return To Player) mean?
RTP stands for Return To Player. The RTP percentage is a measure of the percentage of stakes a game returns to players (generally over a minimum of one million plays), and is an accepted guide to how a game performs.
Example of how it works:
- If a game has a stated RTP of 92%, it means players can expect the game to return £0.92 in the £1.00 (or currency equivalent) over a long period of plays.
The game must perform to the RTP as stated in the applicable Game Rules.
However, this does not mean that every play or series of plays will return this percentage. Players must understand that as wins are awarded randomly, then the return to them individually may not equate to the advertised RTP. Players can expect a return in a range from nothing to the maximum prize level for each individual play, and it can take a very long time for the pay-out from any particular session to converge to a game's long-run RTP average (think months not minutes).
Random games are not 'compensated', if there has been a series of losing plays it will not mean that it will be followed by a series of winning plays. The outcome of a single bet does not affect any other. The game is random therefore only stake what you can afford to lose.
All games are different in terms of their characteristics and feature sets, so all games behave differently.
Note: All games guarantee a profit to us by offering odds or returns on outcomes less than the actual probability.
