What Is RTP (Return to Player)?
Return to Player (RTP) is the long-term expected payback percentage of a game. It represents how much a player can expect to receive back over an extended period, relative to the amount they stake.
Definition: RTP is calculated as a ratio of total winnings paid out to total stakes placed.
Example: A game with a 96% RTP means that, over time, it is expected to return £96 for every £100 staked.
Location: You can find the RTP for each game in the game’s information section—click the ? icon usually located in the top-right corner.
Important Note: RTP is calculated over millions of spins and thousands of players. This means short-term outcomes can vary significantly. You might win more or less than the RTP would suggest during a single session.
Why Do We Use RTP?
Although all our games are random, displaying RTP provides transparency and helps players make informed decisions.
Transparency: It gives players insight into the expected performance of a game.
Fair Play Assurance: RTP figures are verified by independent testing bodies and regularly reviewed by Midnite to ensure accuracy.
What Is RNG (Random Number Generator)?
Random Number Generators (RNGs) are algorithms used to generate random outcomes on every game spin.
Functionality: Each spin is linked to a random number, which determines the game result.
Randomness: RNGs produce outcomes based on trillions of possible combinations, ensuring unpredictability.
Fairness: They do not consider:
Who the player is
Previous wins or losses
Past outcomes
Think of an RNG like rolling a die with trillions of sides—each spin is independent and unpredictable.
