The theoretical return to player percentage is the term used to describe the percentage of all wagered money a Casino Game will pay back to all players of a game over a period of time. RTP is normally expressed as a percentage, for example 90%, which would mean that for every £100 wagered, the game will return £90 back to players in winnings but which players receive any winnings is randomised and so it is important to understand that you are not guaranteed to receive £90 back in winnings if you wager £100.
