Understanding Game Fairness: RTP and RNG Explained
At Safecasino, we believe in transparency regarding our games. Understanding how game fairness is maintained is a key part of a confident gaming experience. This involves two core concepts: Return to Player (RTP) and Random Number Generator (RNG).
Return to Player (RTP)
RTP is a theoretical percentage that indicates the average amount of money a player can expect to receive back from a game over an extended period of play. For example, a slot game with an RTP of 96% means that, statistically, for every €100 wagered, €96 is returned to players as winnings. The remaining 4% represents the casino's theoretical advantage.
The RTP is calculated over millions of game rounds, so individual session outcomes can vary significantly. It is not a guarantee of individual returns but a long-term statistical measure.
Our game library features certified titles with RTPs that are competitive within the industry. For our slot games, you will typically find RTPs ranging from approximately 94% to 97%. For our table games, such as blackjack and roulette, RTPs can often be higher, sometimes exceeding 99% depending on the specific game variant and player strategy.
Random Number Generator (RNG)
The outcome of each game round at Safecasino is determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG). This is a complex mathematical algorithm designed to produce a sequence of numbers that are unpredictable and unbiased. Each spin of a slot reel, shuffle of a deck of cards, or roll of a virtual die is an independent event, generated by the RNG at that precise moment.
This ensures that no outcome can be influenced by previous results, or by any external factor. The integrity of the RNG is paramount to fair gameplay.
Ensuring Fairness Through Independent Testing
We partner with reputable software providers who ensure their games are rigorously tested for fairness and accuracy. These providers utilize certified RNGs and submit their games to independent testing laboratories. These labs, such as eCOGRA, iTech Labs, and GLI, perform comprehensive audits to verify that the games function as intended, that the RTP figures are accurate, and that the RNG operates impartially. This independent verification provides an additional layer of assurance for our players.
By adhering to these standards and working with established providers, we aim to offer a gaming environment where fairness and transparency are clear.
