Why is Slot Math important?
Jurisdictional Requirements for RTP • Minimum Payout Standard: Each slot machine must theoretically return at least 80% of all wagers to players over the expected lifetime of the game. • This calculation applies only to the base game . • External features such as progressive jackpots, bonus systems, or other external awards are not included in the RTP percentage. • Merchandise and Non-Cash Items: • The minimum payout calculation excludes the cash equivalent value of merchandise or other items that cannot be converted into cash by the gaming establishment. • However, the acquisition cost of these items to the gaming licensee may be included in the payout percentage. • Why This Matters: This rule ensures fairness and transparency by guaranteeing a minimum return to players while clarifying what counts toward RTP. It prevents inflating RTP with external prizes or non-cash items that players cannot redeem for money.
