What is Return to Player?

Return to player is the share of all money staked on a game that the game pays back, measured across millions of rounds rather than a session. A 96% RTP means that for every 100 units wagered in total, 96 are returned to players collectively — not to you, and not tonight. The figure is long-run and unweighted by time. It says nothing about how the money arrives: two games at 96% can pay a little on a third of spins or a great deal on one in ten thousand. That is what volatility describes, and reading RTP without it is the most common way players end up surprised. RTP is also configurable on most modern slots. Where a studio ships several builds, the published figure is the default rather than a guarantee of what your casino runs.
