High payout rates aren’t just a promise with us – they’re a number: 96%.

Swiss law requires a minimum of 80%. Across all games on jackpots.ch, our average payout rate is around 96%. And whenever a provider offers the same game in multiple versions, we consciously choose the version with the highest payout rate.

What is Return to Player or RTP?

«Return to Player», or «RTP» for short, refers to the average payout rate in casino games. It’s the percentage of all bets that is paid back to players as winnings over a large number of game rounds. In Switzerland, the law defines the range in which the RTP must fall. According to Art. 5 of the FDJP Ordinance on Casinos (SR 935.511.1), it must be at least 80% and cannot exceed 100%.

The average payout rate across all our games on jackpots.ch is around 96%. This means that for every CHF 100.- wagered, an average of CHF 96.- is paid back to players. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll get exactly CHF 96.- back every time you wager CHF 100. RTP is a theoretical value calculated over an infinite number of rounds. Short-term fluctuations – both up and down – are completely normal. For example, a game’s RTP can temporarily exceed 100% during a period of big wins. This simply means that during that time, the winnings were higher than the total bets placed.

The Return to Player also varies from game to game. Some slots have an RTP of over 96%, while others have a lower payout rate. You can find the payout rate for each game in the help or info section of that specific game.

Because the RTP only averages 96% over many rounds – not in every single round – a slot with a lower RTP can sometimes pay out more over a certain period than one with a higher RTP. Luck still plays its part here. But in the long run: the higher the RTP, the more of the stakes flows back to the players as winnings.

 

Our choice for you: the game version with the highest RTP

Some game providers offer their games in different versions with varying RTPs. The games are otherwise identical, but the version with the higher RTP pays out more on average.

In these cases, we at jackpots.ch consciously choose the game version with the highest RTP because we’re always looking for the best option for our players. This ensures that when identical game versions are available, we always offer the one with the higher theoretical payout rate. For us, this is a simple but important contribution to a fair and transparent gaming experience.
