What is RTP?
Key facts
- RTP and house edge sum to 100%. RTP 95% = house edge 5%.
- 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 Rust Snowball, every game's RTP is published and verifiable by re-running the open-source provably-fair library against many rounds.
- A higher RTP doesn't reduce variance — a 99% RTP game can still bankrupt a small bankroll faster than a 90% RTP game if its outcomes are more spread out.
