In theory, yes, but in reality, no. Now that RTP percentage is ‘theoretical RTP’ and achieving exactly a 96% return would be over a long period. If you go on a hot streak, you could end up with a 150% RTP playing a particular slot. Conversely, you can just as easily end up with a 50% RTP. It's all down to variation and pure luck. It could take 2 years of playing the same slot for the RTP to exactly 96% or you could hit that theoretical average every week with one-week winning and the next losing, and so on.
