Carnival Queen 2 by Thunderkick: headline RTP 94.31%, Med-High volatility, max win x25 000.
An RTP of 94.31% means a house edge of 5.69% — the expected cost is 5.69 units per 100 staked over the long run, whatever a single session does.
Carnival Queen 2 is a med-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 x25 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 below the median of 96.13%, higher than 11% 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. 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 2025-08-27. 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.

Yes. Carnival Queen 2 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.
Carnival Queen 2 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.
