How to Check RTP at Your Casino: Find the version it runs in a minute
Published November 15, 2026.
All five games list about 96.5% RTP in their rules. That's the provider's figure, not a promise. RTP is the share of all bets a slot pays back on average over millions of spins, and a casino is free to run a lower-RTP version. Over a short stretch, actual payback can swing a long way in either direction.
RTP of each game by mode
| Game | Base game | Other modes |
|---|---|---|
| Gates of Olympus | 96.50% | with ante 96.55% buy 96.50% / 96.49% |
| Sugar Rush | 96.58% | with ante 96.56% Super Spin 96.50% / 96.52% buy 96.50% / 96.55% |
| Sweet Bonanza | 96.51% | with ante 96.53% buy 96.51% |
| Starlight Princess | 96.50% | with ante 96.55% buy 96.50% / 96.49% |
| Mahjong Wins | 96.50% | buy 96.50% |
Figures come from the rules in the free Pragmatic Play demo. The ante, the buys and Super Spin shift RTP by only hundredths of a percent, so don't choose a mode on RTP.
How to check RTP at a casino in a minute
- Open the slot in real-money mode. The demo and the real-money game can run different versions. Check the one you'll actually play, ideally after logging in to your account.
- Open the game rules. Look for the menu button or the "i" icon in a corner of the screen. Either one opens the rules, the paytable and the technical details.
- Find the RTP line. It usually sits at the very end of the rules, next to the RTP for the ante bet, the bonus buy and Super Spin where the game has them.
- Compare it with the table above. If the figures are clearly lower, say 95.5% or 94.5% instead of 96.5%, the casino has installed a lower-paying version of the same game.
Versions with 96.5%, 95.5% and 94.5% RTP
Pragmatic Play releases each game in several RTP versions, and every casino picks which one to run. They look identical. Only the RTP line differs, and with it what the game pays back over the long run.
That gap applies to every bet you place. Over 1,000 spins at $1, the difference between 96.5% and 94.5% comes to $20. The calculator below runs the numbers for your own bet.

Actual RTP on real-money bets
One large online casino publishes the actual RTP of every slot, based on all real-money bets its players place. We don't name it, because this site links to no casino other than our advertising partner. The figures were captured on November 14, 2026, and cover the Super Scatter versions.
| Game | Last 24 hours | Last 28 days | All time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gates of Olympus | 90.70% | 96.79% | 96.00% |
| Sugar Rush | 101.14% | 91.90% | 94.05% |
| Sweet Bonanza | 112.42% | 98.80% | 99.11% |
| Starlight Princess | 103.08% | 95.71% | 95.21% |
| Mahjong Wins | 117.76% | 92.73% | 97.58% |
Over 24 hours, Mahjong Wins paid back almost 118% of bets, while Gates of Olympus returned under 91%. Volumes were large, from 71,305 bets on Mahjong Wins to nearly 3 million on Gates of Olympus, but bet sizes vary, and a few rare big wins can move one day's payback by several points, so one day tells you very little.
All-time, the spread narrows but doesn't vanish: from 94.05% for Sugar Rush to 99.11% for Sweet Bonanza. Only Gates of Olympus stayed within one percentage point of its stated RTP. Sweet Bonanza paid out 2.60 points more than stated and Mahjong Wins 1.08 points more, while Starlight Princess and Sugar Rush came in 1.29 and 2.53 points lower. Some of those bets may have gone to lower-RTP versions, but these stats can't tell them apart. For a single player over one evening, the swings can be even bigger.

FAQ
What is the RTP of Super Scatter slots?
About 96.5% according to the rules: 96.50% in Gates of Olympus, Starlight Princess and Mahjong Wins, 96.51% in Sweet Bonanza and 96.58% in Sugar Rush. The ante bet, the bonus buy and Super Spin each have their own RTP, but they differ from the base figure by hundredths of a percent. In Sugar Rush, for example, buying free spins gives 96.50% and Super Free Spins 96.55%.
Why do casinos show different RTPs for the same game?
Each casino picks one of several versions of the game, and they have different RTPs. The demo runs at about 96.5%, the highest version the slot databases list. Only the game rules at your own casino show the figure you'll actually get.
Does the demo show the real-money RTP?
Not necessarily. The demo runs the top version, about 96.5%, while your casino's real-money game may be a different one. Check in real-money mode.
Does a high RTP guarantee a win?
No. RTP is an average over millions of bets. In one evening a slot can return 50% of what you staked, or 200%. A high RTP only makes the game slightly cheaper on average.
