Complete RTP Database
Slot Machine RTP List
Return to Player (RTP) is the most important number on any slot machine. It tells you exactly how much of your money the machine is designed to keep over time — and how much it gives back. Below you will find the RTP for every advantage play slot machine in our database, sorted from highest to lowest payout.
What Is Slot Machine RTP and Why Does It Matter?
RTP stands for Return to Player. It is a percentage that represents how much of the total money wagered on a slot machine is paid back to players over the long run. For example, a machine with a 92% RTP returns $92 for every $100 wagered on average. The remaining 8% is the house edge — the casino’s built-in mathematical advantage.
Every slot machine sold to casinos has a certified RTP determined by the game manufacturer and verified by independent testing laboratories. RTPs for modern video slots typically range from 85% to 97%, depending on the game, denomination, and configuration. Higher denominations (dollar and above) tend to have higher RTPs than penny slots.
For advantage players, RTP is a critical input in expected value calculations. The base game RTP determines your cost per dollar wagered while working toward a progressive jackpot or counter-based bonus. A machine with 92% base RTP costs you $0.08 per dollar played, while one with 85% RTP costs $0.15 — nearly double. This directly affects when an advantage play opportunity becomes profitable and how much bankroll you need to capture it.

—Understanding RTP: Theoretical vs. Actual Return
The RTP values listed above are theoretical — they represent the expected return calculated from the game’s mathematical model over millions of simulated spins. In practice, your actual return in any given session will differ from the theoretical RTP, sometimes dramatically. This gap between theory and reality is called variance (or volatility).
A high-volatility slot machine might have long stretches where it returns almost nothing, followed by large payouts that bring the average back in line with the theoretical RTP. A low-volatility machine will produce more consistent, smaller wins. The RTP is the same in both cases — the distribution of results is different.
Importantly, RTP figures published by manufacturers represent the maximum configuration. Casinos can often choose from several RTP settings for the same game, and they may select a lower setting. State gaming regulations typically mandate a minimum floor — for example, Nevada requires at least 75% RTP. The actual RTP on the machine you are playing may be lower than the manufacturer’s published maximum.
For advantage players, base game RTP is only one variable in the expected value equation. A machine with 85% base RTP can still be highly profitable if it has a strong advantage play mechanic — a must-hit-by progressive near its ceiling, a counter close to triggering, or accumulated free games from a previous player. Conversely, a 96% RTP machine with no exploitable mechanic will always lose money for the player over time. The mechanic is what creates the edge; RTP determines the cost of capturing that edge.
When calculating expected value for advantage plays, use the base game RTP (excluding progressive contributions) to estimate your per-dollar cost. If you do not know the exact base game RTP for a machine, use 88% as a conservative default for penny slots. Dollar-denomination machines typically run 90–94%. These defaults will keep your calculations realistic without overstating the opportunity.

View PricingFrequently Asked Questions
What is the RTP of a slot machine?
RTP stands for Return to Player. It is the theoretical percentage of all wagered money that a slot machine will pay back to players over time. For example, a slot with 96% RTP will return $96 for every $100 wagered on average over millions of spins. The remaining percentage is the house edge. RTP is calculated by the game manufacturer using mathematical models and is verified by independent testing labs before a game can be placed on a casino floor.
Which slot machines have the highest RTP?
Based on our database of 204 advantage play slot machines, RTPs typically range from 85% to 96%. However, RTP alone does not determine profitability for advantage players. What matters more is whether the machine has an exploitable mechanic — such as a must-hit-by progressive, a persistent counter, or accumulated free games — that can temporarily push the effective return above 100%. A machine with 88% base RTP can be far more profitable than a 96% RTP machine if it has a strong advantage play mechanic.
Does RTP mean you'll win?
No. RTP is a long-term statistical average calculated over millions of spins. In any individual session, your actual return can be dramatically higher or lower than the stated RTP. A 95% RTP machine can easily take your entire bankroll in a single session, or pay you 300% of your buy-in. RTP tells you the mathematical expectation over an extremely long time horizon, not what will happen in any given visit. Short-term results are dominated by variance, not RTP.
How does advantage play differ from just playing high RTP slots?
Playing high RTP slots simply reduces the speed at which you lose money — the house still has an edge. Advantage play identifies specific situations where the effective return temporarily exceeds 100%, creating a genuine mathematical edge for the player. This happens when persistent state features (counters, counters, banked bonuses) have been built up by previous players, making the expected payout greater than the expected cost. High RTP is helpful for advantage play because it lowers your base game losses, but the real profit comes from the exploitable mechanic, not the RTP alone.
Where can I find RTP information for slot machines?
RTP information can be found in several places: the machine's help or info screen (press the info button while playing), the game manufacturer's specification sheets, state gaming commission reports (some states publish RTP ranges by casino), and databases like Run the Slots. Note that the RTP displayed on a machine is the theoretical maximum — casinos can sometimes configure a game to use a lower RTP setting within the manufacturer's approved range. The RTP values listed on Run the Slots are the manufacturer's published figures for each game.
