RTP - Here's How It Affects Your Play.

[dunover]

OK, I have made a table up for 2 RTP's, one at 96% and one at 92%.
Both are based on a deposit of £50 with 100% bonus (£100) or a straight £100 deposit. Whichever you prefer. You start with 100 and play 1.00 per spin in each case. There is NO variance; each spin returns it's RTP i.e. each play you bet 1.00 and get say 0.96 back. (We've all seen RTG slots)
This is purely to demonstrate the big exponential effects a lower RTP setting can have on gametime and chances of making a WR. Obviously this is exactly how it works out for the casino over a prolonged period of time and zillions of spins on any particular slot. It's quite eye-opening!

IN OTHER WORDS JUST A 4% REDUCTION IN RTP FROM 96-92 MEANS YOU REDUCE GAME ENDURANCE TO 50.7% OF THE 96% FIGURE.
This explains why Chopley and others have noticed how poor JPP is compared to playing WMS at NordicBet on 4% higher RTP's. It also demonstrates that the JPP
10xD+B WR is not as good as it sounds. Statistically you are far more likely to hit WR on a Microgaming casino with a 30xBonus WR at 96% RTP than the 10xD+B WR at JPP on 92% RTP.
I've done a bit of hard work here, so if any other number crunchers can work out the % chances of hitting various multiple WR's on these 2 demonstrations, then feel free!

It also shows how slots on <90% are so terrible compared to online 96'ers. This includes pub/club slots/pokies and AWP's which can be as low as 72% but usually in the 80's and mechanical casino slots on <92%. Obviously I mention AWP's in the context which doesn't include forcers/humptiers/sharking

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I think a lot of folks don't appreciate what a massive difference small jumps in RTP can make once you get up into the 90s, particularly when it comes to grinding out a WR.

I remember when I first posted about the 1777% bonus at Tropica here at CM and the basic response was along the lines of 'you may as well set fire to your money'.

Thing is, once I realised they had a slot contributing 100% to the WR at a 98-99% RTP (with perfect skill game strategy) it became pretty much a dead cert that I'd be able to beat it. The numbers on that were pretty illuminating once you worked them out:

Here's a copy and paste of a post I made at the time, look at the massive difference in expected wagering with just a few extra percent on the overall RTP.

------------

To look at the chances of meeting a £122,000 WR from a £1877 bankroll. (Easiest way to work this out is to simply divide the bankroll by the house edge expressed as a decimal, i.e. a 95% RTP slot has a house edge of 5% so just divide the bankroll by 0.05, which therefore assumes that each spin 'costs' 5p.)

95% RTP - 1877 / 0.05 = £37,540 wagered before bust-out

96% RTP - 1877 / 0.04 = £46,925

97% RTP - 1877 / 0.03 = £62,566

98% RTP - 1877 / 0.02 = £93,850

99% RTP - 1877 / 0.01 = £187, 700 - OOPS!

Indeed, the infamous Tropica episode.. Like myself and others you have an instinct for value and chance and base your deposits on such. My chart is a visual representation on just how dramatic as you say, the change in RTP can be, a careless little figure chucked in by a casino 'changed from 96.1 to 95' for example can have a big difference to gameplay. It also shows how most of us who ever played AWP's could tell immediately if anything had changed on them.
My example shows that at 1k spins per hour you would get 1 hour 13 minutes at 92% for your money, and 2 hours 25 minutes at 96%. On average.

" 10xD+B WR at JPP on 92% RTP"

I think monthly match is only 10xB. And you can not just forgot the progressives at JPP. Allthough I understand what you ment. If you have a balance of 200£, that 4% plus on the RTP is much better then those random progressives.

Allso thanks for a really good and intresting post!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

akrus is correct dunover, it's 10xB on the regular bonuses at Jackpot Party, the SUB is 20xB. None of their bonuses are D+B.

The Jackpot Party monthly match is EV+ even on a 92% return (although not by much), factor in the JPP (which you do have to do in all fairness), then at 95% RTP it's very EV+.

 

[nisosbar]

Thanks, that's a fascinating chart.

 

[JGslots]

Its just a shame that they have gone a little quiet on their bonus offers of late. I agree with the OP that RTP does mean a lot, Its common sense.

88% Reel King Potty £2 Stake
96% Online Offering Multi-Stake

Do you think that land based machine will have to up their game and bring back punters with games set to 95%? i doubt it very much LOL.

OK, sorry JPP afficionados, that's my bad. In that case you should do it almost every time, merely 10xbonus. The other way to look at it, is that if the JPP bonus was comparable to others at 25-30X it would massively expose the frailties of having 92% RTP without progressives, because it would soon become apparent to JPP members how unlikely they were to hit WR unless getting a progressive. Now you know why JPP bonus is so low in WR!

OK, sorry JPP, my scenario is correct ONLY on the SUB not monthly bonus. Thanks CHOPLEY/AKRUS.
The figures still stand though; you would far more likely hit a MG 30xWR bonus at 96% than a 20xWR on a 92% casino. I'm not picking on JPP per se but using them as an example as their 92% is so distinct from many sites on 96-ish%.

 

[Nifty29]

Interesting figures......I've seen something similar several times over the years.

Trouble is......slots have variance.

So, it can make telling the difference between 96% and 92% very difficult for the individual. Its very possible that if a player were given 1000 spins in a blind test on 5 versions of the same slot with TRTPs of 92,93,94,95 and 96 , and asked to label the correct versions based on play, they would rate the 92% above the 96%. The choices might be more accurate if they were given their ACTUAL RTP at the end before rating, as opposed to rating on "feeling".

The reason I made the distinction between actual RTP and "feeling" is because the vast majority of the "they dropped the RTP!" Club (A subsidiary of the "Its rigged I tells ya!" Association) don't provide data, but rather their "feeling" over a given time period......most notably and almost exclusively following a big loss or bad streak.

Some people think TRTP isn't important. I disagree. However, as we know, TRTP is not a guarantee for the player (it IS much more so for the casino) and I think this is where many players lose the plot. Added to this, these same players don't/can't/won't grasp that you can have a period of time where your RTP is ABOVE the TRTP and still blow your money and not cashout......and this is where that old chestnut....bankroll management...is the key. In fact, in regards to whether you're a winner at session's end is much more about that than TRTP, and at least as important when it comes to beating boni (VWM are you reading : )

Good information to digest Dunover. Its also shows that it is variance that allows players to win, and that without it winning would be impossible.

 

[Mousey]

Pardon me... but .... I'm going to ask a stupid question... I understand the basics of RTP (I've always heard it as Payout Percentage except here in meisterland), but playing at RTGs has me wondering....

I understand the stated calculated RTP is for the GAME/casino over the long term. As I understand it, the random JP at RTGs is included (as it should be) in that calculation. So ... am I right in thinking that many, many players (like myself) who have played for years, but never hit an RTG random jackpot will come close to seeing the stated casino/game RTP in our personal payout percentages?

Where there is a contribution to a progressive jackpot or jackpots, if you never hit those progressives, then yes, you are basically playing the 'base games' at their own RTP minus the progressive contribution.

Jackpot Party works on the same principle as RTG, 92% on the base games, and 3% over to the Jackpot Party Progressives - if you don't hit the progressives then you're effectively chucking 3% RTP into the bin. (Not sure what the exact contribution is on RTG though.)

Progressives are great when you hit them, but on a long dry spell when you don't, the lower effective RTP on the base game can really start to sting.

I think we need to add to that that if the progressive contribution is not specifically stated like it is at JPP the remaining RTP may be affected by how many players and how much is being staked on the slots. JPP is a relatively small site, but I would imagine some of the US-facing RTG casinos have a very large player base and maybe only a small fraction% is going into the random JP pool, and quite slowly at that.

That what I was thinking... it's just like playing progressives... and that the only type slots they have. The payout percentage for those of us who never hit an RTG jackpot cannot be good at all.

The thing is we don't know that do we? We cannot say for sure. We can at JPP as they tell us the base games are basically crap for RTP whereas RTG tell us nothing. It's possible, in fact I'd say highly likely, that RTG's RTP sub-progressive is higher than JPP's 92%. All depends on how frequently they pay. They are very frequent on JPP compared to RTG sites, so I'd suggest residual RTP is higher at RTG sites. IMO

Don't forget there are three different maths models for RTG slots, and good luck working out which one you're playing....

I couldn't even get a straight answer out of Slotocash here on CM, and they're accredited.

Well, I won't speculate any more in that case. Let it suffice to say, I'd wager (all other things being equal) that RTG's residual RTP is on average slightly higher. I'll never know for sure.

There are clues in the software though and the easiest way to spot the RTP is the Keno pay table. As they come in 3 specific "packages" (92.5%, 95% and 97.5% IIRC), it would be really easy to determine which casino is running which model as soon as you can find 3 different Keno pay tables.

I don't play RTG anymore but if someone has a bunch of RTG's already installed on their computer, that would be awesome to check them and to share the findings.

RTG random jackpots account for ~1.5% of TRTP.

The information was provided here by Dogboy a while back.

So Mousey.....the answer is that if you don't hit a RJ then your chances of reaching the TRTP are most certainly reduced.

That will only tell you which version of Keno they are running - it doesn't help with the other games.
It was established a long time ago that each RTG game can have it's TRTP adjusted individually for each casino.

[Jasminebed]

I don't always play the highest RTP game at a casino (some of those stats are available for some of the places I place), but I sure notice a HUGE difference when I go land based and the TRTP is so much lower.

It's a great chart, ty for your math work.

There's an interesting post from Enzo quite a ways back, where why it's best to go large or go home with a bonus, and part of the reason there are max bet amounts with bonuses at many casinos.

If you don't care about playtime (and I will admit I do), it's better to bust out early than break even on bonuses that are offered frequently? Assuming you play them more than once, and before you get bonus banned?

There's a gov't run casino just up the road from me, @83% on penny machines. I'd rather deposit online than visit. My fav casino is a few hours away, same slot percentages, but they offer generous comps,so I consider it "paying" for my room and food when I lose. The local one offers very little in that regard, and in Ontario no where can comp you alcohol.

In that case I'm probably correct that RTG exceed 92% base RTP - I think!

Assuming that:

A- the software ships with a 95% RTP
B- only RTG can change it by operator's request
C- there are 3 math models (92, 95, 97)

Would it make sense to change the RTP of only certain games? I'm sure it's possible, but would they do it? Like changing Keno's RTP without touching the slots?

The information was provided here by Dogboy a while back.

So Mousey.....the answer is that if you don't hit a RJ then your chances of reaching the TRTP are most certainly reduced.

Can you explain something to me bc I can't wrap my head around this. I went to live chat to ask what my rtp was for the 13th and 14th as I had horrid sessions.

Chat informed me that it was 153% and I had lost 400.00. She also stated that's the nature of slots and the more that I play the better my rtp would be. Hmmm, what do I need..a 300% rtp to cash out? I'm truly a little confused on this. Why would I show such a loss with that kinda rtp and they are accredited here...lol

That's impossible - you can't have an RTP of 153% and lose on a session. it's basically saying you've had say 1000 spins at a dollar and received 1530 in return. You can have 100% RTP and break even. You can have 99.9% RTP and bust out, but it'd take you days unless you played large stakes. An RTP of 95% would mean on average you'd get a good long session but lose if you were playing say a dollar a spin on a 400 deposit.

As for the latter statement that is bunkum. It all depends on your long term RTP. IF you are 'up' (100%+ RTP) at a casino then the longer you play the nearer you will eventually get to the TRTP so on average you'd lose in the longer term. Vice-versa too. If you were around 90% RTP having played at a casino for a lengthy period, then you'd expect to get nearer the 95% TRTP eventually, so may have some gains back of your previous losses. Of course with randomness and variance this isn't guaranteed, but that's how things are overall. Of course big winners are massively over 100% usually, and this is paid for by long term losers. Some players are 'above the TRTP line' on the player variance undulations, some are below. For their CS to say the longer you play the BETTER your RTP will become is plain wrong. There is absolutely no guarantee of that.

Assuming that:

A- the software ships with a 95% RTP
B- only RTG can change it by operator's request
C- there are 3 math models (92, 95, 97)

Would it make sense to change the RTP of only certain games? I'm sure it's possible, but would they do it? Like changing Keno's RTP without touching the slots?

Ah, but not ALL their slots have 3 settings - so it would actually be impossible to set all of them to the High or to the Low RTP.
Also, some of the middle settings are not the same.

I just downloaded the casino on Saturday and started playing. I have not played there in about two years before then. I knew that statement wasn't correct. I'll request my play logs from chat and figure out my own rtp.

Dunover explained it very well.

The CS agent was having a lend of you. It's nonsense.

It's true that the more you play, the more your RTP gravitates toward the TRTP of the game/s, but we are talking millions of spins i.e. that observation is based on the Law of Large Numbers. It is also true that the more spins you have the less your overall RTP will fluctuate, as big wins and big losses have less direct affect on your overall figure.

max cashout

Now I'd like to see just how (and I know it's an amazing amount) a maximum withdrawal (of say 10x) effects RTP. Most of the time with slots, one loses except when one hits big, which would now be truncated depending upon the deposit amount.

I think it was discussed here a few years ago, and it's not the huge difference people think IIRC.

Its also important to note that it does not affect the TRTP of a game. It just decreases the risk exposure for the casino. The game itself pays no different, and if one never plays a freebie and has winnings removed due to max cashout, their personal RTP is unaffected.

Max cashouts need to be considered in different terms to TRTP or payout percentages, as both figures do not take them into account.

It affects the financial position of both parties, but not what the game actually pays out....only what the casino pays out, which is a figure that's hard if not impossible to obtain, as it would be commercially sensitive.

Looking from the other side...
What most players seem to forget, is that these maximum cash-outs only apply when you are using a bonus, usually anything from 100% up to 400% of your deposit. So when you play, at least half the money you wager is actually the casino's money. But the casino can not make a profit from their own money, so the House Edge of those wagers is lost as far as the casino is concerned. That's why many casinos have either very high WR and/or max cash-out limits on bonuses.

With RTG casinos in particular, don't forget 1.5% of the RTP goes toward the Random Jackpots. So if players always took a 400% bonus with every deposit, then those jackpots would be 4/5 funded with the casino's own money and not deposited funds.

not sure wether this shines any light this mainly goes for RTG play yes maybe you lose 1.5% on random my problem is there machines are capped to 50,000 line bet . so in fact this would change your rtp% as the machines may be capped , theres no body saying saying any different to wether that cap is used agaisnt rtp% i would of thought if it has a % this machine would record the maxium which can be way more than 50,000 per line bet so where do those remaing funds go as far as the machine is concerned thats a hell of alot wasted not being payed out ??? this could have a huge impact on the slot in regards to the way its set up for rtp% ?

You are experienced enough to not make statements like this KK! From Rome:

35.All Deposits of 249 USD/EURO/AUS or less have a max withdrawal of 10X the deposit for that specific play session (all other currencies pegged to USD). Once a withdrawal is requested, the casino applies the 10X rule and corrects the withdrawal to accurately reflect the 10X rule. The remaining funds are deemed "Non-Withdrawable" and are cleared from the player's balance. Deposit bonuses used during a play session that results in a pending withdrawal request, are also "Non-Withdrawable" and can be deducted from that particular pending withdrawal.

Please, stay away from casinos who have max cashouts on deposit bonuses. There are probably some good deals out there without max cashouts.

IIRC it was reckoned that the 50,000 line bet cap 'costs' about 1% of RTP as far as the player is concerned.

I quite like some of RTG's slots, but there are three factors that mean I basically refuse to play the software even at accredited casinos:

1) Unknown RTP that we know the casino can change at will - and the lower RTP maths model is a very mean 92% or thereabouts.

2) Forced progressive jackpot contributions.

3) 50,000 line bet win cap.

If you're playing an RTG slot on the lowest paying maths model, by the time (2) and (3) have taken effect, your RTP on the base game is in the region of 89%!
