Great Reef by Pragmatic Play: headline RTP 96.64%, max win x3 000.
An RTP of 96.64% means a house edge of 3.36% — the expected cost is 3.36 units per 100 staked over the long run, whatever a single session does.
The advertised ceiling is x3 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 90% of the games whose RTP we verified. That comparison matters more than the raw figure, because "96%" only sounds generous next to nothing.
Released 2015-08-12. 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 0.01 to 5 per spin on a 5-3 layout with fixed betways.

Yes. Great Reef 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.
Great Reef 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.
