Blaze Buddies by Backseat Gaming: headline RTP 96.37%, High volatility, max win x10 000.
An RTP of 96.37% means a house edge of 3.63% — the expected cost is 3.63 units per 100 staked over the long run, whatever a single session does.
Blaze Buddies is a high volatility game: the return arrives in rare, large payouts, so long dry spells are normal rather than a malfunction. Size stakes for the drought, not the average.
The advertised ceiling is x10 000. 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.
We measured 6 different RTP builds of this game across casinos: 96.37% at the best and 96.37% at the worst, a 0.00pp spread. That is the same game costing meaningfully more to play at one operator than another, and it is the reason we track builds at all.
Against our catalogue the number is above the median of 96.13%, higher than 71% of the games whose RTP we verified. That comparison matters more than the raw figure, because "96%" only sounds generous next to nothing.
Hit ratio is 57.4%, meaning roughly 57 spins in 100 return something — most of them less than the stake. A hit is not a win.
Features: In-game Freespins.
Released 2024-12-10. 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.
Stakes run from 0.1 to 100 per spin on a 5-4 layout with fixed betways.

Blaze Buddies has a published RTP of 96.37%, a house edge of 3.63%. We measured 6 different builds across casinos, from 96.37% down to 96.37%, so the operator you pick changes the number.
Yes. Blaze Buddies 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.
Blaze Buddies is a Backseat Gaming 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, and on this title we measured a 0.00pp spread between operators. That is the real variable, and it is measurable.
Of the operators we measured, Stake serves the highest build at 96.37%. The full per-casino table is on this page, and our RTP builds report explains how the measurement works.
