We read the game, not the other reviews

*Every RTP here was read off the game itself and dated. Then we put the game on the page so you can try it first.

Nothing here is paid for * Every demo is free

Most sites copy an RTP from another site. When a studio quietly changes a build, they all keep printing the old number. How we score

Each figure was read off the studio’s own build and dated on the review it came from. Operators can run a different RTP configuration, so always check the rules screen in the client you play.

The studios

8 studios profiled so far, each one read from its own build.

Why this site exists

Almost every slot listing online has copied its RTP from another listing, which copied it from a third. Nobody in that chain opened the game. You can tell, because when a studio quietly ships a different build the whole internet goes on repeating the old number for years.

So the rule here is simple. Every figure on this site was read off the game itself, and the date it was read is printed on the page. Where a review makes a claim you might reasonably want to check, there is a screenshot of the screen it came from sitting next to it.

That is a slower way to build a database and it is the only part of this worth your trust.

What that turns up

Reading games rather than copying listings finds things. A few from the first week:

  • Eye of Horus reports its RTP under a configuration its own server labels the “standard profile”. A game only names the profile it is running when more than one exists, which is as close to a confession as you will get that the number is not fixed.
  • Blueprint’s sequels return less than the originals. Fishin’ Frenzy reports 96.12% and its Big Catch sequel 95.32%. Eye of Horus reports 96.31% and its Golden Tablet sequel 95.20%.
  • Buffalo King Megaways multiplies its wild multipliers together, while Sweet Bonanza adds them. Same studio, same tumble mechanic, opposite arithmetic, and most write ups get one of the two wrong.
  • Big Bass Bonanza caps at 2,100x, and its top money symbol is worth 2,000x. A single fish is 95% of everything the game can pay.
  • Big Bass Crash states its bet range, its payout range and a two part maximum to the euro, and never states a return to player at all.

Play first, then decide

Where a studio permits it, the game itself is on the page. Not a video of it, not a screenshot: the studio’s own free play build, running in your browser, with no account and no deposit and nothing real to win or lose.

Nothing loads from the studio until you press play, so reading a review costs you no third party requests at all. Live games are the exception and always will be, because a live table is a real person in a real studio and there is nothing to simulate.

What this site will not do

It will not tell you a game is due, because no game is ever due. It will not sell you a staking system. It will not report a session of a few hundred spins as though that were evidence of anything, because a few hundred spins on a high volatility game is noise and reporting it as insight is the most common dishonest move in this business.

And it will not quietly become an advert. There are no commercial partners at the moment, and when there are, every paid link will be labelled where you see it rather than in a footnote. The full position is in the advertising disclosure, written down so it is awkward to break later.

Before you play anything

Every game here is designed to return less than it takes. That is not a flaw or a bad run, it is the design, stated openly by the studio on its own rules screen. A 96.5% RTP means the game keeps 3.5% of everything staked through it, forever, and no strategy changes that number.

If gambling has stopped being entertainment, the responsible gambling page lists the tools that work and the organisations worth calling. They are free, confidential, and staffed around the clock.

Common questions

Are the demos really free?

Yes. They are the studios' own free play builds, loaded straight from the studio, using play money with no cash value. There is no account, no deposit, nothing to win and nothing to lose. We are not paid to feature any of them.

Where do your RTP figures come from?

From the game itself. We load the studio's build, open the rules screen and read each figure off it, then print the date we read it. Where a studio's client cannot be paged through, the figures come from the data its server sends the game on load, and the page says so.

Why does your RTP differ from another site's?

Usually because we are describing different builds. Studios supply the same title to different operators in more than one RTP configuration, and most listings copy a figure rather than check one. Eye of Horus even names the configuration it is running. Always check the rules screen in the client you are actually playing.

Why do some games have no demo?

Live games are filmed with a real presenter, so there is nothing to run for free. Some studios also geo restrict their demo builds, and a few do not offer one at all. Where a demo is missing the page explains which of those applies.

Do you take money to rank games higher?

No, and at present there is nobody to take money from: the site has no commercial partners. When that changes, every paid link will be labelled where you see it and scores will not move for money. The rules are in the advertising disclosure.

Can playing the demo tell me if a game pays?

No. A demo runs the same certified maths, so the mechanics are real, but a play balance is not your money and a short session is not a sample. If free spins land early you will think the game is generous and if they do not you will think it is broken. Neither impression is information.
