How to check the RTP of slots with the BetSoft provider
Backseat Gaming is a newer slot studio with a fast-growing catalogue of modern, feature-heavy games. Its official site describes the studio’s games as high-volatility slots, and public game pages show a clear focus on bonus rounds, multipliers, scatter pays, and large max-win models.
RTP matters because it shows the slot’s theoretical long-term return. It does not predict your next session, and it does not mean you will get that percentage back personally. It is still useful because a lower RTP gives the casino a bigger mathematical edge over time.
For Backseat Gaming, checking the RTP is especially important. Official Backseat Gaming pages for several games show multiple RTP versions, including examples where one title is listed with 96.01%, 94.01%, 92.01%, and 90.01% versions. That means you should not assume every casino is running the same version of a Backseat slot.
If you need the basic explanation first, read this general RTP guide:
Because Backseat Gaming’s own pages confirm multiple RTP versions for some titles, it is also worth reading this guide on reduced RTP versions in slots:
Quick Answer
To check the RTP of a Backseat Gaming slot, launch the game, tap the three-line menu at the bottom of the screen, then choose the information button. In the rules window, scroll down until you find the game information section. In some Backseat layouts, the RTP appears near feature text such as Ticket Rush in Wonder of Circus, or near the main game details. Look for a line marked RTP, Return to Player, or Theoretical RTP.
If the casino lobby shows only the game name and thumbnail, do not rely on that. Open the game and check the in-game rules before betting.
How to Check RTP in Backseat Gaming Slots
On Desktop
- Open the Backseat Gaming slot.
Let the game load fully. The RTP is usually not visible from the first casino lobby tile. - Look at the bottom of the game screen.
Find the menu button with three horizontal lines. - Click the three-line menu.
A small game menu should open. - Choose the information button.
This may appear as an i, a rules icon, or a help/info button, depending on the casino wrapper and game version. - Scroll through the rules window.
Backseat Gaming games often have several sections for features, bonus buys, free spins, and symbol rules. The RTP may be below the main feature description, not at the very top. - Find the RTP line.
Look for wording such as RTP, Theoretical RTP, or Return to Player. - Check the exact percentage shown.
If the game displays more than one RTP version on an official page, the number inside your casino’s game screen is the one that matters for that session.
On Mobile
- Launch the slot and wait until all controls appear.
- Tap the three-line menu near the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the info or rules button.
- Swipe or scroll through the rules.
- Look for RTP or Return to Player.
- If the info window is hard to read, rotate your phone or use full-screen mode.
On mobile, some casinos hide the game menu until you tap the screen once. If you cannot see the three-line button right away, tap the edge or bottom of the game area and check again.
What to Look For in the Info Screen
Backseat Gaming help screens can include a lot of feature text, so do not stop after the first page. You are looking for the technical game information, not just the paytable.
Check these areas:
- Game Rules — how wins are formed, paylines or scatter pays, and any tumble mechanics.
- Feature Rules — free spins, respins, bonus rounds, and special symbols.
- Bonus Buy / Feature Buy — if available, this may have separate RTP information.
- RTP / Return to Player — the key percentage.
- Max Win and Volatility — useful context, but not the same as RTP.
- Malfunction / Technical Rules — often close to the end of the help section.
In the user-tested flow for Wonder of Circus, the RTP was found after opening the info screen and scrolling down near the Ticket Rush feature section. That does not mean every Backseat Gaming slot uses the exact same layout, but it is a useful clue: keep scrolling through the feature rules until you reach the RTP line.
Can Backseat Gaming Slots Have Different RTP Versions?
Yes. This is confirmed by Backseat Gaming’s own public game pages.
For example, the official Backseat Gaming page for Deep Sea Mafia lists four RTP versions: 96.01%, 94.01%, 92.01%, and 90.01%. The same four-version pattern also appears on official pages for titles such as The Great Herd and Wonder of Circus.
That does not mean a casino is automatically doing something wrong. Some suppliers certify several RTP versions of the same game, and casinos may use different versions where their market and licence allow it. The problem for players is not the existence of different versions. The problem is when the active version is hard to find.
For Canadian players, the safest habit is to treat every Backseat Gaming slot as something to verify. Even if you played the same title last week, check it again before playing. Casino catalogues, platform integrations, and game versions can change.
What If the RTP Is Not Shown?
If you cannot find the RTP, do not guess it from another website.
Try this first:
- Reopen the game and check the three-line menu again.
- Open the full info, help, or game rules section.
- Scroll all the way down, including past bonus buy rules.
- Check whether the casino has a separate Game Info panel outside the slot.
- Ask support for the RTP of the exact Backseat Gaming title and version.
If support cannot give you a clear number, or the game screen does not show one, it is better to skip that slot at that casino. You should not have to play blind when the same provider’s official pages clearly publish RTP figures.
For Ontario-regulated iGaming, AGCO standards require game rules to include clear information on odds, payout odds, or returns to players. Rules vary outside Ontario, but the practical player standard should be the same: the return information should be easy to find before you bet.
Is the RTP the Same in Every Casino?
No. With Backseat Gaming, you should assume RTP can vary until the game screen proves otherwise.
The reasons can include:
- different certified RTP versions;
- different casino or market settings;
- different platform integrations;
- updated game builds;
- bonus buy versions with separate RTP values;
- casino pages that show outdated or incomplete data.
This is why the in-game help screen matters more than a generic slot review. A review can tell you what versions exist. The game screen tells you what you are actually about to play.
Example: Checking Wonder of Circus
Wonder of Circus is a useful Backseat Gaming example because the official page lists multiple RTP versions, and public slot pages also describe it as a high-volatility game with Ticket Rush and other bonus features.
To check it, open the game, tap the three-line menu, then choose the info button. Scroll through the feature descriptions. If you see the Ticket Rush section, keep reading around that area and below it until you find the RTP line.
If your casino shows 96.01%, that is not the same as a casino running a 94.01%, 92.01%, or 90.01% version. The game title may be the same, but the math model is not equally favourable to the player.
Practical Final Checklist
Before playing a Backseat Gaming slot, check this:
- Did you open the actual game, not just the casino lobby?
- Did you tap the three-line menu at the bottom?
- Did you open the info or rules screen?
- Did you scroll past the feature descriptions?
- Did you find a clear RTP or Return to Player line?
- Does the number match what you expected?
- Are there different RTP versions listed on the provider’s official page?
- If the RTP is missing, did casino support give a direct answer?
- If the number is low, are you comfortable closing the game?
That last step matters. If a casino offers a Backseat Gaming title with a much lower RTP version, you are not required to accept it. Choose another game or another casino with clearer information.
Verdict
Checking RTP in Backseat Gaming slots is straightforward once you know where to look. Open the game, use the three-line menu, tap the info button, and scroll through the rules until you find the RTP line.
The important part is not to assume. Backseat Gaming’s own pages show that some games have several RTP versions. Check the number every time, especially before real-money play. If the RTP is missing, unclear, or much lower than expected, close the slot and choose a more transparent option.

FAQ
Open the slot, tap the three-line menu at the bottom, then choose the info or rules button. Scroll through the rules until you find RTP, Theoretical RTP, or Return to Player.
No. Official Backseat Gaming pages for some games list several RTP versions, so the same title may not always have the same return percentage everywhere.
Backseat Gaming’s official game pages confirm that some titles exist in multiple RTP versions. That strongly indicates casinos or markets may run different certified versions where allowed. It does not prove misconduct, but it does mean players should check the active RTP before playing.
Check the full rules screen, scroll to the bottom, and look for a separate game info panel in the casino interface. If it is still not shown, ask support for the exact RTP. If they cannot answer clearly, skip the game.
Yes. With Backseat Gaming, this is worth doing because several official pages list multiple RTP settings. A few seconds of checking can stop you from unknowingly playing a less favourable version.
No. RTP is a long-term theoretical return, not a prediction for one session. A higher RTP is generally better for the player mathematically, but short-term results can still be unpredictable.
