What is a payout percentage or RTP & how it affects you?

When assessing the fairness of a game, it undergoes testing to determine its RTP (Return to Player) percentage. The RTP represents the theoretical payout ratio for a game, calculated by the software developers. This percentage is continuously monitored by slotsandcasino to ensure each game’s fairness and transparency.

For example, if a slot game displays an RTP of 97%, the expected payout for every $1 wagered would be $0.97, based on the developers’ calculations.

Gaming software providers utilize mathematical formulas to test and estimate the RTP percentage of their games, which is then made available to players. However, it’s important to note that this figure is theoretical, as factors such as volatility, game features, jackpots, and other variables can impact actual payouts.

Slot machines operate on a random number generator (RNG) system, ensuring that the results are entirely random. RNG models determine the outcome of each spin, and different variations of these models influence the likelihood of winning small or large jackpots, as well as the frequency of these wins.

Rest assured, all RNG models are certified by independent testing labs to guarantee fairness and ensure that the system is not tampered with in any way. Slotsandcasino prides itself on offering a diverse selection of games to keep players entertained and engaged.


How Does Return to Player (RTP) Affect You?

Choosing a game based on RTP can influence your overall experience, but it's important to understand the distinction between RTP and volatility, two often-confused concepts. While RTP reflects the expected payout percentage over time, volatility refers to the risk and frequency of winning.

High volatility games often feature larger jackpots and more complex bonus structures but tend to have a lower theoretical RTP. Conversely, low volatility games generally offer smaller prizes with a higher RTP due to simpler features and more frequent payouts.
