Pick up to 4 pokies, set your bet size and spins per hour, and see exactly how much each title is expected to drain from your bankroll per hour. Maths done, guesswork gone.
Cards will appear here showing published RTP and expected hourly loss at your selected bet × spins.
RTPs shown are the provider-published theoretical rates for the standard variant of each title. Some casinos run lower-RTP versions of the same pokie — always verify on the game info screen. Expected loss = bet × spins × (1 − RTP). Short-session variance can deviate heavily from the long-run expectation.
Return To Player — the percentage of total bets a pokie pays back over millions of spins. 96% RTP means for every A$100 wagered over the long run the machine returns A$96 and keeps A$4. On any single session you can win or lose far more or less than that.
All else equal, yes — but volatility matters. A 96% high-volatility pokie can eat your bankroll in an hour while technically having a better long-run RTP than a 95.5% low-volatility one. Match the game to your bankroll and session length.
Because a chunk of every bet is siphoned off into the jackpot pool. Mega Moolah's base RTP is ~88% — the other ~8% is accumulating in the progressive. You're effectively buying a lottery ticket on every spin.
Providers like Pragmatic Play, NetEnt and Play'n GO ship multiple RTP versions of the same title (e.g. 94.00 / 95.39 / 96.50). Shady casinos configure the lowest version. Reputable brands publish the exact RTP in the game info screen — always check.
No. Pokies are pure negative-EV RNG. The only real edge is bonus arbitrage (low-wagering deposit matches where the bonus EV offsets the house edge). For that use our Bonus Value Score and Wagering Calculator.
