RTP means something precise, and it is the loose version that causes most of the confusion around it.

RTP belongs to the mathematics of the game, not to any guarantee about a session. Over millions of spins, not hundreds, a 96% RTP reflects a design returning 96 units for every 100 wagered. The remaining 4 is the house edge. The studio sets it during the game’s build, and most casinos offering the game cannot alter it.
Using it in practice
RTP comparisons belong between games, not against whatever results you personally saw. Across a whole catalogue, a one-point RTP difference matters, though across a single session it’s invisible. Source-checking matters: RTP a studio publishes on its own game pages is quotable, while a figure only echoed across comparison sites with no primary source is not. It sticks better when read with what house edge means and how volatility works, which tend to turn up on the same pages together.
RTP and terms like it appear across the game pages on this site, and where a studio has not published the figure behind one, those pages say as much rather than lifting a number from a comparison site. Blank cells in a number of the spec tables below come straight out of that.
A worked example
The arithmetic is worth doing once. ₱10 per spin over 500 spins at 96% RTP works out to ₱5,000 turnover, ₱4,800 expected return, and a ₱200 expected loss. 500 spins doesn’t amount to much of a sample, so results scatter widely around that figure, and even more so on a high-volatility game. Expectation marks a distribution’s centre; it isn’t a prediction of an outcome.
The common misreading
A widespread misreading treats a 96% RTP as though it guarantees a player 96% of their money back over an evening. It does not. Variance controls short sessions; the long-run average, meanwhile, needs a play volume no single individual actually reaches to show itself. Losing an entire stake on a 98% game while finishing ahead on a 94% one is possible, and neither outcome tells you if the figures are accurate.
