House Advantage and RTP

House advantage and RTP are things that can sound complicated, especially for beginners. Understanding them is not mandatory for gaming, but it makes it much easier to understand the games and can help you choose the game that works best for you. However, let’s start with what these two things mean. RTP is the theoretical payback percentage for different games. It varies by game. It’s a theoretical percentage of how much the game will return on stakes in the long run. That is, the more the game returns, the more winnings can be expected from it.

However, the recovery percentages are only a theory and in reality, of course, the recovery does not take place in exactly the same way. For example, a 98% return percentage would theoretically mean that a player gets back an average of € 98 out of € 100 and € 2 remains in the casino. Of course, this is not quite the case in games, but the players' game moments include large, medium and small wins, as well as losses, from which the average return percentage is calculated.

The advantage of the house is related to the fact that a certain proportion of the stakes in the game always remain with the casino. Game return percentages are always below 100%, so if the game return percentage were 97%, it would mean that that 97% of the stakes would be paid to the players and 3% would remain in the house, i.e. the casino. House advantage is a necessary evil in casino games, because without it, casinos would go bankrupt very quickly when players get bigger pots than each other. If there was no house advantage, then there would be no casinos. With a few exceptions, the return percentage is always less than 100%.

Theoretically, therefore, players always lose money in casinos in the long run. However, it is not quite that simple. Of course, not all players will automatically lose, as the return percentage is just an overall estimate. The stakes for a single game are split into big and small wins as well as losses between different players. In addition, the return percentage does not apply to one game, for example, but to the long term. RTP is also calculated to be realized when a large number of players play the same game. Thus, individual Game Times can differ significantly from the official game return percentage.
