What is Return to Player (RTP)?
Return to Player (RTP) is a long-run statistical measure expressing what percentage of all money wagered is returned to players as winnings. It is calculated over millions of game rounds — not in any individual session.
Critically: RTP does not predict your individual session results. In any given session, you might win or lose significantly more than the RTP suggests. RTP only becomes accurate across a very large number of plays — it's a long-run statistical measure, not a session guarantee.
