How to check RTP with Play'n Go provider
Play’n GO is one of the best-known slot studios in online casino gaming, with titles such as Book of Dead, Reactoonz, Legacy of Dead, Moon Princess, and many newer releases. The company says it has 350+ games and operates across 30+ jurisdictions, and its games are available in regulated Canadian markets including Ontario and Quebec.
RTP matters because it tells you the long-term theoretical return of a slot. It does not predict your next spin, and it does not mean you will get that percentage back in one session. But it is still one of the few numbers players can check before deciding whether a game is worth opening.
With Play’n GO, this check is especially important. Public slot databases and casino game reviews list several Play’n GO titles, including Book of Dead, with multiple RTP versions. For Book of Dead, commonly listed versions include 96.21%, 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25%, and 84.18%, although the exact number you see depends on the casino and the version being offered.
Quick answer
To check the RTP of a Play’n GO slot, open the game, tap or click the question mark or help icon, then scroll through the help pages until you reach the Game Rules section. The RTP is usually listed there, often near the lower part of the rules text.
On some casino sites, the RTP may not be easy to find before launching the game. In other cases, the casino wrapper, mobile layout, or local version of the game may move or hide the usual Play’n GO help button. If you cannot find the RTP inside the game rules, check the casino’s game information page or ask support for the exact RTP version.
How to check RTP in Play’n GO slots step by step
On desktop
- Open the Play’n GO slot from the casino lobby.
- Wait for the full game screen to load. Do not rely only on the casino lobby tile, because that may show only the game name and provider.
- Look for the question mark icon, help icon, or rules button. In many Play’n GO games, this is the entry point for the game help pages.
- Click the icon and open the help or rules menu.
- Scroll through the rules pages until you find the heading called Game Rules.
- Look for a line that mentions RTP, Return to Player, theoretical payout, or similar wording.
- Write down the exact percentage before you play. Do not round it in your head. A game showing 91.25% is not the same as one showing 96.21%.
On mobile
- Open the slot in portrait or landscape mode, depending on how the casino loads it.
- Tap the menu, three-line icon, question mark, or info button.
- If the first screen only shows sound, turbo, autoplay, or bet settings, look for a separate Help, Rules, Paytable, or Game Rules tab.
- Scroll carefully. On mobile, Play’n GO rules pages can feel long, and the RTP may sit lower than the symbol payouts.
- Check the number before switching to real-money play.
- If the game opens in a small frame and the rules button is missing, try rotating the phone, reopening the game, or using the browser version instead of the app.
What to look for on the Play’n GO rules screen
The RTP line may not always be written in the exact same way. Look for wording such as:
RTP
Return to Player
Theoretical RTP
Theoretical payout
Theoretical return to player
Game payout percentage
The number should be shown as a percentage. For example, a Play’n GO slot may show an RTP in the mid-90s, while some versions of specific titles are listed much lower by third-party slot databases and reviews. Do not use a number from a review unless it matches the number inside the casino game you are actually opening.
Also check the surrounding information. The Game Rules area may include volatility, paylines, bet limits, bonus rules, autoplay rules, gamble feature details, or maximum win. These are useful, but they are not a substitute for the RTP.
Can Play’n GO slots have different RTP versions?
Yes, strong public evidence shows that at least some Play’n GO slots exist in multiple RTP versions. Book of Dead is the clearest example. SlotCatalog lists Book of Dead RTP versions at 96.21%, 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25%, and 84.18%, while Time2play Canada and AskGamblers also describe lower Book of Dead RTP versions below the commonly quoted 96.21%.
That does not mean a casino is “cheating” when a lower version appears. Some suppliers create multiple certified versions of the same game, and operators may use different versions where local rules allow it. The important point for players is simpler: the same Play’n GO title may not have the same RTP everywhere.
This can vary by casino, market, game version, and later updates. A slot that shows one RTP today could be listed differently at another casino, or the casino may change the version after a supplier or operator update. That is why Play’n GO slots are not “check once and forget” games. Check the rules screen each time, especially before playing favourites like Book of Dead, Legacy of Dead, Reactoonz, Rise of Olympus, or newer releases.
Example: checking Book of Dead RTP
Book of Dead is a useful Play’n GO example because it is widely available and has several publicly listed RTP versions. Play’n GO’s official page confirms the game is Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead, released on January 14, 2016, and describes it as a video slot with the well-known expanding symbol free spins feature.
When you open Book of Dead at a casino, do not assume it is automatically the 96.21% version. Open the question mark or help menu, scroll to Game Rules, and check the RTP shown there. If the number says 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25%, or another value, that is the version you are being offered at that casino.
This is also why review-site numbers can be misleading if used alone. A review may describe the “default” or highest-known RTP, while the casino you are using may run a different version.
What if the RTP is not shown?
If you cannot find the RTP, do not guess. Try these steps:
- Reopen the game and check the help menu again. Sometimes the RTP is below the paytable or near the end of the Game Rules section.
- Try the same game on desktop if you were using mobile. Mobile wrappers sometimes make the rules harder to navigate.
- Look for a casino game information page. Some casinos list RTP in the lobby, game details panel, or terms page.
- Ask live chat or email support: “What is the exact RTP version of this Play’n GO game at your casino?”
- If support gives only a vague answer, treat that as unresolved. You cannot compare games properly without the actual number.
In Ontario, AGCO standards say players must be given enough information before betting to make informed decisions, and that game rules or help pages should be easy to locate and understand. If you are playing in a regulated Canadian market and the RTP information is missing or unclear, it is reasonable to ask the operator where that information is displayed.
Is RTP always visible before launching the game?
Not always. Some casinos show RTP in the lobby before the game opens, but many do not. For Play’n GO, the RTP is often found only after launching the slot and opening the help or Game Rules section.
This is not ideal for players because it means you may have to load the game before you can check the number. Still, you should check before placing a real-money bet. Opening the game is not the same as playing it.
Practical checklist before playing a Play’n GO slot
Check the provider name: make sure the game is actually by Play’n GO.
Open the game rules: use the question mark, info, help, or menu button.
Scroll to Game Rules: do not stop at the symbol paytable.
Find the RTP percentage: look for Return to Player or theoretical payout wording.
Compare the number: a small-looking difference can matter over long-term play.
Check again later: do not assume the RTP stays fixed across casinos or updates.
Ask support if needed: request the exact RTP version, not a general average.
Skip the game if the RTP cannot be confirmed: there are plenty of slots where the number is easier to verify.
Verdict
The safest way to check the RTP of Play’n GO slots is to open the game, use the question mark or help button, and scroll to Game Rules before placing a bet. Do this even for familiar games. With Play’n GO, the title on the screen may look the same, but the RTP behind it may not be.
A few seconds in the rules menu can tell you whether you are looking at the better version of a slot or a weaker one. That is information worth checking before you play.

FAQ
Usually inside the help or rules menu. Click or tap the question mark icon, then scroll to the Game Rules section. The RTP is commonly listed there rather than on the first paytable screen.
No. Public listings for games such as Book of Dead show several RTP versions, and reviews warn that the number can vary by operator. Always check the version inside the casino where you are playing.
A casino cannot simply invent a random RTP on its own, but some Play’n GO games appear to exist in multiple certified RTP versions. Where allowed, an operator may offer a lower version. The fair way to handle this is to display the actual RTP clearly in the game rules.
Check the game rules on desktop, look for a casino game details page, and ask support for the exact RTP version. If the casino cannot provide it, do not assume the highest number you saw on a review site applies.
Yes, especially with Play’n GO. A favourite slot can have different RTP versions across casinos, and the number may change after updates or market-specific changes.
No. RTP is a long-term theoretical figure, not a short-session prediction. A 96% slot can still lose quickly, and a lower-RTP slot can still hit a big win. RTP is useful for comparing the game’s long-term maths, not forecasting your next result.
This is a really important article that every Canadian player should read! Thanks to this information, I learned about the dark secret of the casino licensed by IGaming Ontario - all their slots have a fixed RTP of only 80%! Honestly, it's just a shock! How can they deceive their customers like that? I was reckless and lost a lot of money playing in these casinos. I will never go into them again, just stealing my money ... I thank the author from the bottom of my heart for clarifying this important issue!
I've always been into Play'n slots Go is one of my favorites. But who would have thought that hiding information about RTP is such a tricky move from the manufacturer! Thanks to this article, I now know how to find out the RTP of any slot from this provider. I tried it and it really worked! It turns out that my favorite Book of legacy has an RTP of 94%. This, of course, is not the lowest indicator, but I have less chances to win... Many thanks to the author for the detailed instructions and for sharing such valuable information with the gaming community!
Are there still providers who value their reputation and do not reduce RTP ? In general, there are still normal slots, casinos, games in the world? Or is everything already so fake that there is nowhere to play?
Yes , look through the article on the site about other providers, everything is written there. Not much, of course, but there are still reliable places and slots.
Thanks to this community, I found out that my favorite casino is manipulating the RTP. Not cool at all! I withdrew my funds and switched to a more reliable platform.
Hmm .. an era is gone. I remember playing them in slots before and there were no such problems. And the winnings were normal, and the casinos didn’t be so greedy and didn’t throw players. Now everyone is just chasing money and deceiving players. It's a pity, there were cool times and slots. And now they do everything for the sake of profit.
