What does RTP Mean?

RTP is the short form of “Return to Player”. This number is always displayed as a percentage, and you may even see this as Percentage Return to Player (%RTP). This in itself means that the % that you see on any given slot machine, is what the game pays back to its players.

This means, if a slot machine has 98% RTP, then 2% of the slots payout goes to the casino, but 98% is given back to the players in winnings. In most cases, the %RTP is not given over the value of a few hundred spins, but usually between 100,000, and 1,000,000 spins. Unfortunately for us players, there is no minimum RTP on a gaming machine. 

Another way you could look at this, is that if the slot machine sticks closely to its %RTP of 90%, then that means for every £10 you wager on the slot, you should receive around £9 back. Of course, this isn’t how it works as this number is given over hundreds of thousands of spins, but this is in short, how RTP works. 

What is the Average RTP?

Every single slot game you play, will have a variance in RTP. This is not down to the sole discretion of the player, casino, or slots provider but rather the number that is accumulated over hundreds of thousands of spins. 

On average, you should expect to see a %RTP of 95%. In the grand scheme of things, you should be looking for an average %RTP of between 93-98% respectively, as this means you should hopefully get more bang for your buck. 

Conclusion

Overall, we hope this guide has helped you understand what RTP is, and how you can find some of the best slot machines in the UK with a high RTP, giving you more chances to win big on your favourite slot games!
