Every review of this game prints one RTP figure. The figure is real, and it is also not the whole story: the same game is certified at several return settings, and which one you get is decided by the casino you opened it in.
The number is a range, not a constant
Light & Wonder certifies this title at multiple theoretical return settings. Published variants run from around 87% up to 96.01%. The operator licensing the game selects the build it deploys.
Nothing on the reels changes between them. Same theme, same features, same symbols, same 5,500x ceiling. The difference is in the maths underneath, and it is invisible from the screen.
That is worth about nine percentage points of long-run return. On a game you play regularly, it is the single largest variable you can actually control — and it costs ten seconds to check.
How to read the active figure
- Open the game at the casino you intend to play in.
- Tap the menu or “i” icon in the game window.
- Go to paytable or game rules.
- Scroll to the rules text at the end. The theoretical return is stated there.
That figure is the build running for you, at that casino, at that moment. It is the only RTP that applies to your session.
Do this before the first real-money spin rather than after a bad run. It is also worth repeating if you move the same game to a different casino — the number can differ between two sites offering what looks like an identical game.

Medium volatility is the part most people misread. It does not mean small wins — the ceiling is 5,500x. It means the distribution is less punishing than a high-volatility game: fewer long dead runs, more frequent modest returns, and the big outcomes still concentrated in the bonus.
What RTP does not tell you
It is a long-run average across millions of spins. Your session is not a long run, and no RTP figure predicts it.
What it does do is settle a comparison. Two casinos, the same game, the same theme and features — one returns 96.01% over time and one returns 87%. Over any meaningful number of sessions that gap compounds, and it is the only difference between them that is measurable in advance.
Use it for choosing where to play. Do not use it for deciding whether tonight is a good night.
The demo runs its own configuration
A free-play build is often set to a default that need not match the real-money version at the same site.
That makes the demo right for its actual job — learning the bonus, seeing how the feature triggers, deciding whether the game suits you — and unreliable as an RTP sample. Check the paytable again after switching to real money.
More on that in the free demo guide.
What this page does not claim
It does not publish an RTP figure for your casino, because that figure is set per deployment and cannot be read from outside. It does not claim every operator runs a low variant — many run the top one. The point is narrower and more useful: the number is knowable before you spin, it is displayed in the game itself, and it is worth the ten seconds.
