What is RTP?
RTP isn’t just a number; it’s your insight into how a game plays. It stands for Return to Player; It’s not a promise, but it’s a great way to spot which slots give you better long-term odds.
RTP shows how fair the game is over time. If a slot has an RTP of 96%, it means that statistically, for every £100 wagered, the game pays out £96 across all players.
At MrQ, you’ll always see that number upfront, right when you load the game. We believe fairness shouldn’t be hidden. No smoke. No mirrors. Just the facts, upfront, so you can play smarter.
- Higher RTP = fairer long-term odds.
- Lower RTP = the house keeps a bit more of the pie.
How does RTP work?
Every slot game is built with a set RTP, created by the game developer and approved by regulators. When you spin, the outcome is determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG). Over millions of spins, the game’s payouts will average out around the advertised RTP. It’s not a promise, but it’s a great way to spot which slots give you better long-term odds.
If you’re curious about how it translates to the “house edge,” here’s the simple version:
House edge is what the casino keeps on average across all players. RTP doesn’t care if you’re betting 10p or £10, the percentage stays the same.
Bigger bets don’t improve your odds; they scale your wins (and losses).
- Slot at 96% RTP → house edge 4%
- Slot at 92% RTP → house edge 8%
