RTP stands for Return To Player, it is an estimation of how much a game would return to a player over a long period of time.

It is not guaranteed that each player will get the same RTP from the same game, as achieving the games RTP will depend on many factors, such as:

Those are some examples and we will explain why each of them make a difference, in the end the players intention is to WIN money and not reach RTP, because reaching RTP is simply losing the minimum possible for the amount gameplay you had.

Managing your bankroll is very important for your gameplay, slots are games of luck where even the smallest bet can pay you thousands of dollars, but for you to reach that lucky bonus round you need to go through lots of bets usually, sometimes your first bet may also pay huge. What we want to say here is that the more times you spin that reel the better your odds are in winning big, for example if Jason has 1,000$ and is doing 100$ bets if he ain't lucky he may only be able to play between 10 and 20 spins of 100$ each, while if Adam has 1,000$ and is doing 0.2$ bets then he will be able to play between 5,000 and 10,000 spins giving them the chance to land a big win that might even put him in profit.

If you are a player who wants to see if RTP is real, and if those slots actually return to player what they claims to be, they you must stick to the bet amount you started with, because each spin has the potential to be a big win, or a loss, so if you were betting big and suddenly you bet small and you hit a big win, it may not be enough to recover your losses since you spent too much on earlier spins and your lucky spin had a small bet amount. The same thing can be said if you were betting small and you hit a lucky bonus, and then you do few big spins, that is a big % of your bankroll you just lost and small bets wins no matter how lucky they are they might not be able to recover what you lost and in this case the RTP for YOU may not be as good as you expect it to be.

So, how many bets do you need to achieve the RTP advertised by the game prover? The answer is millions and millions of bets.

When the provider advertises for example 96% RTP, that RTP is not particularly based on each single player's gameplay, or on a short period of time. This theoretical data is based on results of millions of bets from thousands of players on this particular game.

It may not only sufficient for you to place millions of bets with long breaks between them, the inconsistency of continuous playing may lead into interfering with your RTP so you may play a bad streak and you stop, and the next day you have another bad streak, and this can not be measured with hours or days, as each spin is independent from the previous spin.

So to summer things up, if you set your slots on auto roll with a balance of 10,000$ and a bet of 1$ a spin, after the end of the 10,000 spins there are no guarantees that your balance will end at 9600$ on a slot with RTP of 96%, actually the result may be extremely off from what the RTP is, you may end up between 1,000$ and 100,000$ or much more, it all depends on your luck that session.

You might think that RTP and volatility are the same, but they aren't. They are actually quite different.

While RTP can be the theoretical expected Return To Player, volatility is the frequency in which big payouts happen. For example a low volatility slot will have more payouts in smaller amounts, a high volatility slot will have less payouts in bigger amounts.

Slots with high volatility tends to be the ones that pays 1000's of multipliers to the players, but that doesn't happen a lot.

Remember that while the chances are lower, each spin is independent of the previous spin, so even on a high volatility slot you might hit a huge win at the beginning of your gameplay, while at a low volatility slot you may not receive not even a decent payout if you weren't lucky.

Deadwood from Nolimit City is a great example, where it's bonus round offer you the option to choose between 2 modes for the game:

The explanation provided from the game tell it all, where in the mode with lower volatility they guarantee you wilds, which means your chances to win are bigger, but on the higher volatility mode they give you sticky multipliers and they described it as "High risk, high reward".

A straight answer is NO.

Casinos do not have the ability to change the RTP of a game, these settings can only be adjusted by the owners of the slot, which we call "Providers".

It is known that casinos do not make their own slots, and this is why you would find the same games on different casinos. Casinos such as Chips.gg obtain these games from the providers of the games that created them, in order to ensure that there are no cheating, for example when you want to play on a casino you would search for a famous, reputable, licensed, regulated casino, this way you can be assured that this casino does not have any dark secrets since the license issuers and the regulators keep an eye on the casino. The same thing Chips.gg does when contracting providers to have their games on the site, we use games from providers that are licensed, reputable, and regulated to be certain that these providers can never trick us or our players.

But, casinos can ask from the providers to lower their RTP if they do offer such services, some providers may have different versions of the games where RTP can be lower giving the casino a higher house edge over the player. Not all providers have that, and very few casinos would request it from the providers that do.

Chips.gg uses the default RTP offered by the provider for the games, And there is no need for the casino to make such requests, as we explained above that RTP does not actually have a lot of effect on a player's singular session, of Corse a game with higher RTP should play better then a game with lower RTP.

At Chips.gg we are very transparent with our players, under each game name we show the game's provider, and if you hover your mouse arrow over the "i" information icon, you will see the game's RTP and the volatility level, these information aren't added manually but they are provided to us from the provider.
