RTP (return-to-player) is the long-run share of all bets that the casino pays back to players on average — across millions of rounds players collectively get back most of what they wager, with the remainder being the house's edge.
Key facts
RTP and house edge are complements — together they account for every wagered dollar, so a higher RTP always means a lower house edge.
RTP is a population average, not a per-round payout — a single round can pay 0x or 1000x; RTP only describes the long-run mean.
On RustSnowball, every game settles from deterministic, provably-fair formulas you can re-derive yourself in the verifier at /provably-fair.
A higher RTP doesn't reduce variance — a high-RTP game can still bankrupt a small bankroll faster than a lower-RTP game if its outcomes are more spread out.
