The mathematics of the game determine RTP; it says nothing certain about a session. When a game has a 96% RTP, it is built to return 96 units per 100 wagered across millions of spins, not hundreds. The remaining 4 is the house edge. Set by the studio at build time, it usually cannot be altered by the casino that offers the game.
A worked example
The arithmetic is worth doing once. Total turnover comes to ₱5,000 for 500 spins of ₱10 at 96% RTP; the expected return is ₱4,800, so the expected loss is ₱200. That said, a sample of 500 spins is tiny, and the outcome you get can land well off that figure, most of all on a high-volatility game. Think of the expectation as the centre of a spread of outcomes, not a forecast.
The common misreading
A 96% RTP is often misread as meaning a player recovers 96% of their money in a single evening. It does not. In a brief session it is variance that decides things; the long-run average needs a volume of play no individual ever reaches. Losing the whole stake on a 98% game while finishing ahead on a 94% one is possible, and neither outcome says anything about the accuracy of the figures.
Do not read RTP as a schedule of payouts, a promise, or a measure of how often a game pays. A 96% game built on rare enormous wins and a 96% game built on constant small ones get an identical rating, yet play nothing alike. The second property is called volatility, and it has a number of its own.
Using it in practice
RTP is a tool for comparing games with each other, not a benchmark for your own results. A difference of one point in RTP is meaningful across a catalogue and invisible across a session. Also look for a source behind the figure; rTP printed on a studio’s own game pages is quotable; one echoed among comparison sites without a primary source is not. Keeping it in mind is simpler next to what house edge means and what volatility means, which those same pages commonly bring up together.
Game pages on this site lean on terms such as RTP, and whenever a studio has released no figure for one, the page says that outright rather than borrowing a number from a comparison site. That explains the empty fields you will see in some of the spec tables here.

FAQ
Is RTP something a casino can change?
Not on this site's evidence. Whenever the game's own mathematics fixes a value behind rtp, the studio owns that value rather than the operator, and an unpublished one cannot be confirmed by any outside source.
