What Is RTP (Return to Player)?

RTP, or Return to Player, is a theoretical percentage that shows how much of the total money wagered on a game is paid back to players over the long term.

How RTP Works

  • Long-Term Average: An RTP of 96% means that, over millions of game rounds, 960 SEK is returned as winnings for every 1000 SEK wagered.
    ​

  • Variation in individual game sessions: In individual game sessions, you can win large amounts or lose your entire stake; RTP does not predict individual results.​

  • Randomness: Each spin or round is random—RTP only reflects the expected average return across many plays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn’t RTP guarantee winnings?
RTP is calculated from millions of rounds. While individual rounds can vary widely, the average return converges on the RTP value over time.
​

Is higher RTP always best?
A higher RTP generally favors the player, but volatility also matters. High-volatility games pay larger wins less often; low-volatility games pay smaller wins more frequently.
​

Can RTP change?
Some games offer multiple RTP versions (for example, when purchasing bonus features). The specific RTP for each version is detailed in the game’s rules.

Summary

RTP indicates the long-term average return to players and is useful for comparing game fairness. Remember, because it’s a theoretical average, your short-term results may differ significantly.
