What return-to-player means, how to read it, and what it does NOT guarantee.
RTP (Return to Player) is the share of wagers a slot returns to players on average over a huge sample. An RTP of 96% means 96 cents per dollar are theoretically returned, with 4 cents being the house edge. Crucially, this is a statistic over millions of spins, not a promise to return 96% of your session. In short play, anything can happen.
