RTP — Return to Player
RTP is the percentage of all money staked on a game that the game returns to players over the long run. A 97% RTP means that across millions of rounds, the game pays back ₹97 for every ₹100 staked, and keeps ₹3. That ₹3 is the house edge, and it is how the platform exists.
The phrase doing the heavy lifting there is over the long run. RTP is measured across a sample so large that your session is statistically invisible inside it. It says nothing whatsoever about what will happen in your next hundred rounds, and it is not a promise that you will get 97% of your money back tonight. What it does tell you is which games are priced better than others — and a 99.28% blackjack table is genuinely, mathematically a better deal than a 95.7% slot.
