What is RTP in Aviator?

By · Last updated 31 October 2026

The percentage of all money bet that a game pays back over the long run. A 97% RTP game returns R485 per R500 bet on average, across millions of rounds, not per session.

Why it matters

South African example: on a R100 bet, a 1.50x cash out pays R150. See the term in action in our Aviator South Africa guide.

Some providers offer casinos several RTP settings, so the same game can pay back less at one site than another.

In practice

RTP is a theoretical figure calculated over millions of rounds and confirmed by testing labs. Your own session can finish far above or below it. Look for the RTP in the game’s rules or help screen, because that shows the setting your casino actually uses.

Example

97% RTP equals a 3% house edge.
