If a game has a high 99% rtp, then it means if you, for example, wager $100 in total over a long period of time, then you’re going to lose $1.
But how long is a long time? Is it the amount I wager in total, the number of games I play, or me playing the game for one month, year, or lifetime?
Also, if I constantly cash out earnings, does rtp still work?

It’s the number of games played – a larger number of games gets you closer to the RTP. How many games it takes depends on a different property of the game – it’s *volatility*; a high volatility game is one where you can win thousands of times your original bet, while a low volatility one will only let you win ten times your bet. For a low volatility game a thousand rounds will probably get you close enough to the RTP, while for a high volatility one you’d need millions or even billions of games to hit the RTP.
[Also, progressive slots, where there’s some sort of progress bar or filling the screen up with multipliers that stick around, or in any other way your odds improve as you play, only get their RTP at all if you complete the progress stage]
>Also, if I constantly cash out earnings, does rtp still work?
That’s actually the scenario in which RTP is most meaningful. If you put your winnings back into the casino you have to apply the RTP again, and that rapidly results in losing most of your money.
For instance if you start with $100, bet it on a low variance slot 98% RTP 1c at a time so that you end up with $98 and then also bet that $98, you’ll have $96.02 – rinse and repeat another 32 times and you’ll be down to $50.
