Choosing slots with a high Return to Player (RTP) is one of the simplest ways to give yourself a mathematically better deal, because more of every wager cycles back to you over the long run. This guide highlights some of the highest-RTP slots we have reviewed and explains how to use RTP when picking a game. For the full background, read our high RTP slots and slot volatility guides.
Some of the highest-RTP slots we have reviewed
- Blood Suckers (NetEnt) — around 98%, one of the highest of any classic video slot, with low volatility.
- Starburst (NetEnt) — around 96.09%, a low-volatility favourite ideal for steady play.
- Big Bass Splash (Pragmatic Play) — around 96.71% in its standard version.
- Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus (Pragmatic Play) — around 96.5% standard, with high-variance, big-win potential.

Some of the very highest published RTPs are actually found in crash games: Limbo is known for around 99%. Always confirm the in-game figure, as many slots ship at more than one RTP version.
How to use RTP when choosing a slot
RTP is a long-run average, not a session guarantee, and it says nothing about volatility — how wins are distributed. Pair a high RTP with a volatility level that suits your goals: low volatility for longer, steadier sessions, high volatility for rarer but bigger wins. Then confirm the exact RTP inside the game at your chosen casino.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good RTP for a slot?
Anything around 96% or above is generally considered good; some games reach 98% or higher.
Does a high RTP mean I will win?
No. RTP is a long-term statistical average across millions of spins, not a promise for any single session.
Why do slots have different RTP versions?
Many providers release multiple RTP versions of the same game, and casinos choose which to deploy. Always check the in-game figure.
