Why the RTP at a casino may differ

Providers ship the same game in several return configurations, and each casino picks which version it runs. Across the market the spread typically runs 2–8 percentage points below the headline figure. The number here is the provider specification — the version actually running is shown inside the game, in its rules screen.

Holmes and the Stolen Stones review

A detective slot where, alongside Holmes, you hunt for five stolen diamonds. During free spins an extra sixth reel appears with stone fragments: collect four fragments of one colour and you take the matching local jackpot, of which there are five, from modest to substantial. The atmosphere of Victorian London, fog, a magnifying glass and a solid RTP of 96.8% round out the chase. The collection mechanic is deeply engrossing: progress carries over between bonuses, and each entry into the free spins brings you closer to the goal. A great choice for anyone who loves jackpots with clear, controllable logic rather than pure lottery.
