The Dirty Secret of RTP Settings
When you see a slot advertised as “96.5% RTP,” you assume that’s what you’re getting. Wrong.
Most major game providers—including Pragmatic Play, Play’n GO, Push Gaming, and Hacksaw Gaming—deliver their games to casinos with multiple RTP configurations. The casino operator chooses which version to enable.
The Three Tiers of RTP
Here’s a typical breakdown for a popular slot:
That’s right. The same game, with the same name and the same graphics, can have a 12% difference in RTP depending on where you play.
How to Check Your Casino’s RTP
Step 1: Open the game and find the “Info” or “Paytable” button.
Step 2: Look for the RTP disclosure. It’s usually buried at the bottom, in tiny text.
Step 3: Compare it to the provider’s official spec sheet.
If the game info says “RTP: 94.50%” but the provider’s website advertises “96.50%,” you’ve found a Medium-tier configuration.
