What these numbers mean

An RTP of 96.13% means a house edge of 3.87% — the expected cost is 3.87 units per 100 staked over the long run, whatever a single session does.

Ancient Egypt sits at medium volatility — a middle profile where wins are neither rare nor frequent enough to dominate a session.

The advertised ceiling is x10 400. Max win figures describe the tail of the distribution, not a realistic target: on most games with a ceiling this high the probability per spin is below one in a million.

Against our catalogue the number is exactly at the median of 96.13%, higher than 50% of the games whose RTP we verified. That comparison matters more than the raw figure, because "96%" only sounds generous next to nothing.

Released 2018-02-28. Release date matters for RTP: newer titles are more likely to ship with several configurable builds, which is what lets two casinos price the same game differently.

Frequently asked

What is the RTP of Ancient Egypt?

Ancient Egypt has a published RTP of 96.13%, a house edge of 3.87%. We have not yet found a casino serving it at a different RTP build.

Can I play Ancient Egypt for free?

Yes. Ancient Egypt has a free demo with the same mathematics as the real-money version — the only thing that changes is that the balance is not yours. A demo cannot tell you the RTP build a particular casino serves.

Is Ancient Egypt rigged?

Ancient Egypt is a Pragmatic Play game, so the outcome is produced by the studio's certified RNG rather than by the casino, and it is not provably fair in the cryptographic sense — you cannot recompute a spin from a seed. What the casino does control is which RTP build it serves. That is the real variable, and it is measurable.
