📖 What is RTP?

A plain-English guide to understanding Return to Player and how it affects your pokie sessions.

Return to Player — Explained

RTP stands for Return to Player. It is a percentage figure that describes how much of the total money wagered on a pokie game is theoretically paid back to players over an extended period of time.

For example, a pokie with an RTP of 96% will return, on average, K96 for every K100 wagered across millions of spins. The remaining 4% represents the house edge — the casino's built-in mathematical advantage.

It is critically important to understand that RTP is calculated over an enormous number of spins — typically tens of millions. In a single session of 100 or even 1,000 spins, results can vary wildly in either direction due to variance. A player might win significantly more than the RTP suggests, or lose substantially more.

RTP is not a guarantee of what any individual player will win or lose. Think of it as a long-term statistical average, not a session-by-session promise. The figure is determined by the game's mathematical model and is verified by independent testing laboratories before a game goes live.

In most regulated markets, providers are required to disclose RTP figures. Players can find RTP information in the game's paytable, the provider's official game sheets, or through regulatory databases. All figures in this database are sourced from these official channels.

Source methodology: RTP values are verified against official provider paytables and where possible cross-referenced with eCOGRA, iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs certification reports. See our methodology section for full details.

RTP vs Volatility — The Key Difference

Many players confuse RTP with volatility. While both affect your playing experience, they measure entirely different things.

Factor RTP Volatility
What it measures Long-term payout % Win frequency & size
Time horizon Millions of spins Single session
Low value means Higher house edge Frequent small wins
High value means Lower house edge Rare but big wins
Best for Comparing games mathematically Matching play style

A low-volatility pokie pays out smaller amounts frequently, keeping your balance relatively steady. This suits players who enjoy longer sessions with modest bankrolls.

A high-volatility pokie can go long stretches without a significant win, then deliver a massive payout. This suits players chasing large wins and who can absorb longer losing runs.

The ideal strategy: Choose a game with high RTP (96%+) that matches your preferred volatility level and bankroll size.

🔬 Data Methodology & Sources

All RTP data in this database is sourced from verified, authoritative sources. We do not estimate or calculate RTP independently. Here is how we gather and validate every entry:

⚠️ RTP figures may vary slightly by casino operator, as some platforms negotiate custom RTP configurations with providers. Always check the specific game's paytable in the casino you are playing at for the most accurate figure.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

RTP stands for Return to Player and is expressed as a percentage. It represents how much of the total money wagered on a pokie is paid back to players over a statistically significant number of spins — typically tens of millions. For example, an RTP of 96% means that for every K100 wagered, K96 is returned to players on average over the long term. The remaining K4 represents the house edge. RTP does not predict what any individual player will win or lose in a single session.
A good RTP for a pokie is generally considered to be 96% or above. The industry average sits around 95–96%. Pokies with 97%+ RTP are considered high-paying and are typically classic-format games or those with lower maximum win potential. Most modern video pokies from top providers like Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and PG Soft sit between 95.5% and 97%.
Not necessarily in the short term. RTP is calculated over millions of spins and describes a mathematical average, not a per-session guarantee. In any given playing session, variance (volatility) matters far more than RTP. A high-volatility pokie with 96% RTP may deliver long losing streaks followed by a large win. A low-volatility 96% RTP pokie pays smaller wins more frequently. Choosing a high-RTP game is mathematically sensible for long-term value, but no result in any individual session is guaranteed.
Based on the 527 games in our database, NetEnt leads with an average RTP of 96.72%, followed closely by PG Soft at 96.71% and Microgaming at 96.58%. Aristocrat games tend to average lower at 95.58%, which reflects their heritage land-based game configurations. JILI and Booongo are increasingly competitive, both averaging above 96.3%.
In some cases, yes. Many providers offer operators the ability to select from a range of pre-certified RTP configurations. For example, a game might be available at 94%, 96% or 97% RTP depending on the configuration the casino selects. This is why the same game can have different RTPs at different casinos. Our database lists the standard or most common certified RTP. Always check the in-game paytable at the specific casino you are playing at for the exact figure that applies to you.
This database is reviewed and updated quarterly. We add new game releases from all covered providers, update any RTP figures where providers have issued corrections, and remove games that have been discontinued.
