Max wins we could not verify are excluded. Release years come from provider release dates; placeholder and future dates are ignored.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Where does this data come from?

From the GambGenius slot database: provider-published specs for 15,455 slots, checked against official game sheets. Figures we could not verify are left out rather than estimated.

Can I use these charts?

Yes. Use the embed code under each chart or download the CSV, and credit GambGenius with a link to this page.

Does a higher RTP mean I will win?

No. RTP is a long-run average over millions of spins. Any single session can end far below it, and casinos can run lower-RTP versions of the same game.

Gambling should stay fun

Set deposit limits before you play, never chase losses and take regular breaks. If gambling stops being enjoyable, free and confidential help is available 24/7.
