The short answer
Open the game, tap the menu or the i button, and look for the RTP figure in the game rules or help screen. That number is the version your operator runs. It is the only RTP figure that applies to you, whatever a review site says.
Why one game can have several RTPs
Studios often supply a game in several RTP versions and let the operator choose one. Habanero's own sheet for Hot Hot Fruit, for example, lists versions from 86% to 98% (Habanero game sheet). The reels, symbols and features look the same in every version. Only the long-run return changes.
That is why our slot pages show a range for many titles instead of one number. Where a studio publishes a single figure, we show that figure and link the source.
How to check it, step by step
- Log in at your operator and open the slot in real-money mode. Demo versions may run a different setting.
- Open the game menu. On most Habanero and Pragmatic Play games this is a menu icon or an i icon near the spin button.
- Go to the rules, help or paytable section and scroll to the end. The RTP is usually listed near the bottom, sometimes with a separate figure for bonus buys.
- Screenshot it. If the figure changes later, you have a record.
What the number tells you, and what it does not
| It tells you | It does not tell you |
|---|---|
| The average return over a very large number of spins. | What you will get back tonight. Short sessions swing far from the average. |
| Which operator gives you better long-run value on the same game. | When a game will pay. RTP has nothing to do with timing. |
| Whether a bonus buy has a different return from the base game. | The volatility. Check that separately on the slot page. |
What to do with it
If two operators run the same game at different RTP versions, the higher one gives you more value over time. If an operator does not show the RTP at all, ask support in writing which version they run. If you cannot get an answer, play a game where you can.
Before you deposit, try the game in our free demos, and check the slot's own page, for example Hot Hot Fruit, for the versions the studio publishes.
