POKIE SPEC CARD

Check the Version, Not Just the Game Name

RTP is a theoretical long-run percentage calculated across a very large number of rounds. It does not forecast a session. More importantly, providers can supply different approved configurations of the same title, so a percentage seen in an article or another casino may not match the version currently loaded.

Open the current 23Pokies lobby

Open the in-game information

Launch the game and find help, rules, paytable or information. Record the exact title, provider and any version identifier alongside the displayed RTP. The game client is a stronger reference for that instance than a lobby thumbnail or a general category description.

Separate base and feature figures

Some games describe an overall theoretical return while others list different modes, jackpots or optional features. Read the note beside each number. A feature-buy configuration can use a separate mathematical model even though the artwork and title remain the same.

Do not turn RTP into a promise

A displayed percentage is calculated over a long horizon and includes the game's complete payout distribution. A short session can finish far above or below it. Use RTP to compare documented game versions, not to choose a spin that is supposedly due.

Capture a mismatch clearly

If the help screen and published game details disagree, save screenshots with the title, provider, percentage and date. Ask which configured version is active. Avoid estimating the answer from recent wins or losses, because session results cannot identify an RTP setting.

Rule check

Can the same title have several RTP settings?

Yes. Providers may offer more than one configured version, so check the loaded game's information screen.

Does 96% mean I receive $96 from $100?

No. RTP is a long-run theoretical measure, not a session-level return.

Does feature buy always use the same RTP?

Not necessarily. Read the rules for the selected mode before starting it.
