What these numbers mean

An RTP of 96.50% means a house edge of 3.50% — the expected cost is 3.50 units per 100 staked over the long run, whatever a single session does.

Bones & Bounty 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 x250 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.

Against our catalogue the number is above the median of 96.13%, higher than 78% of the games whose RTP we verified. That comparison matters more than the raw figure, because "96%" only sounds generous next to nothing.

Features: Bonus Buy, Bonus Game, Respin. Note that studios frequently ship the bonus-buy path at a different RTP than the base game, and the lobby rarely says which figure it is quoting.

Released 2023-10-18. 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 Bones & Bounty?

Bones & Bounty has a published RTP of 96.50%, a house edge of 3.50%. We have not yet found a casino serving it at a different RTP build.

Can I play Bones & Bounty for free?

Yes. Bones & Bounty 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 Bones & Bounty rigged?

Bones & Bounty is a Thunderkick 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.
