What RTP means at new online casinos

RTP, return to player, is the share of all money bet on a game that it pays back over millions of rounds. A 96% slot keeps 4% on average. For one session it says little; over many, it says nearly everything.

New casinos often run the same slot at a different RTP from older ones, so check it every time.

RTP in Singapore dollars

RTPAverage cost per S$1,000 wagered
97%S$30
96%S$40
94%S$60
92%S$80

At S$1 a spin and 500 spins an hour you wager S$500 an hour. A 94% game costs S$10 more per hour than a 96% one.

Finding the RTP

Open the game's info or paytable screen and search for 'RTP' or 'return to player'. Many studios supply several versions, such as 96%, 94% and 92%, and the casino chooses one. If no figure is shown, assume the lower version.

RTP and volatility

Two slots at 96% can feel very different. Low-volatility games pay small wins often; high-volatility games pay rarely but bigger. Volatility decides how long a budget lasts, RTP what it costs on average.

Myths

  • A slot is not 'due' to pay.
  • Time of day does not change results.
  • Bonus money does not change the RTP.
  • No betting pattern changes it. See how to choose a game.

Responsible gaming

Play only if you are 21+ and it stays fun

These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.

21+ only

Adults only, everywhere

You must be 21 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
