If you’ve been paying close attention, you will likely have noticed that we’ve said that the game’s RTP is 98.03%. This is certainly true during regular game play as well as during the bonus round, and even when using the bonus buy feature. However, if you choose to use the ante bet – giving you twice the odds of triggering the bonus feature – the RTP is ever so slightly reduced to 98.01%.
Since the ante bet has a relatively low cost at 1.25x your basic stake, and is certainly far less than the 100x cost of the direct to free spins option, it’s the more popular option of players seeking expedited access to the bonus round. That means it essentially contributes less to the house pool, and its prize pool is reduced a little in kind. But it still remains high; in fact higher than almost all other enhanced RTP games including Gates of Heaven and The Dog Mansion Megaways slots with their respective 98% RTP.
