What the 96.71% RTP means
RTP (return to player) is the share of all bets a slot pays back over millions of spins. With an RTP of 96.71%, Big Bass Bonanza returns on average C$96.71 for every C$100 wagered over the long run. In a single session your result can be much higher or lower — RTP describes the long term, not the next spin.
Volatility explained

Example: with a C$50 budget at the minimum bet of C$0.10 you get about 500 spins before counting any wins.
