At €1,000 of total stakes, 94% RTP means €60 of long-run expected loss. At 99% it is €10. That is six times the expected cost. My criticism is the value of low-RTP play; I have not verified that LeoVegas serves Pirots 5 at exactly 94%.
What does RTP mean for 1,000 spins?
One thousand spins at €1 each means €1,000 wagered in total. The calculator compares that turnover at different RTPs. If you change the stake, the total amount wagered changes too. It is not the same as the money you deposit, because returns can be wagered again.
These figures describe a long-run mathematical average. They cannot predict your next 1,000 spins, tell you when a bonus will land, or make a session safe.
Long-run averages, not a session prediction. Total stakes are not your deposit. Roulette figures are rounded; La Partage applies to eligible even-money bets. The 94% scenario is not a verified Pirots 5 setting.
Pirots 5: what I checked, and what is still missing.
Pirots 5 accounts for 275 of the 550 recent game rows I captured. Pirots 4 and Pirots 3 add another 269. That makes the series central to my experience. Pirots 4 and 5 also appeared in the LeoVegas Spain Top 10 when checked on 24 September 2026.
The operator’s monthly results displayed a 93.99% total for Pirots 5, 94.21% for Pirots 4, 94.60% for Pirots 3 and 93.50% for Legacy of Dead. These are historical outcome figures. A game’s configured theoretical RTP is a different measure.
My attempt to reach the Pirots 5 information screen stopped at session setup, so I do not have a screenshot of its configured percentage. LeoVegas’s casino guide describes a 94%–98% slot range; that is enough to explain the cost of its low end, but not enough to assign 94% to every popular title.
The operator table reports period outcomes by game. Months above 100% make the distinction visible: this is observed payout history, not the fixed theoretical setting of the exact game instance.

The LeoVegas guide lists Book of 99 at 99% RTP and describes it as highly volatile. On paper, that is a lower expected cost than the 94% illustration. High volatility still means the result of a short session can be severe.
Standard single-zero European roulette is commonly rounded to 97.3% RTP. French roulette with La Partage gives a 98.65% rounded RTP on qualifying even-money bets when the rule applies. That figure does not apply to every bet or every game carrying “roulette” in its name.
Check the actual rules: single or double zero, La Partage, and any special payouts. A large multiplier graphic is not a replacement for the paytable. The comparison here uses the stated rounded percentages, so the euro amounts are illustrations at that precision.

How this compares with RTP99 Casino.
RTP99 Casino puts the 99% benchmark and Book of 99 at the centre of its value argument. The useful comparison is the same amount wagered at different house edges. It is not a comparison of two personal withdrawal records or proof that every game at another operator pays more.
At €1,000 turnover, the 94% illustration is €50 more expensive in expected loss than the 99% benchmark. That is why I find the lower end of LeoVegas’s published slot range stingy. I would examine the exact game information before choosing a popular tile just because it dominates the lobby.
Why a monthly RTP table can go above 100%.
The 2,866 monthly game entries I collected describe aggregate results over displayed periods. Wins can exceed stakes in one month. That does not turn the game into a positive-expectation game for the next person who opens it.
For a useful check, record the game title, provider, date and the percentage in the game’s own information or help screen. Keep that separate from your personal results and the operator’s monthly statistics. Those are three different questions.
Three percentages that should never be mixed up
Before comparing two casinos, check that both numbers describe the same thing. A monthly result is not the setting of the slot, and neither one predicts the next session.
Identify the game
Match the title and provider, then open its own rules or information panel.
Record the percentage
Save the stated theoretical RTP and the date. If it is not shown, ask rather than substitute a monthly figure.
Compare equal stakes
Use the same total amount wagered. Keep volatility, eligible bets and bonus conditions alongside the percentage.
| Number | What it answers | What it cannot answer |
|---|---|---|
| In-game theoretical RTP | The long-run return stated for that version | How your next 1,000 spins will finish |
| Operator monthly return | What was returned across the displayed period | Which theoretical setting your game uses |
| Your own return | What you won relative to what you staked in that sample | Whether the next session is due a win |
My verdict: choose the rules, not the busiest tile.
The low end of the published slot range is poor value to me: €60 expected cost at 94% versus €10 at 99% for the same €1,000 wagered. That is a material difference before design, popularity or a bonus gets involved.
Book of 99 and qualifying roulette rules offer clearer high-return benchmarks to investigate. I still would not call a Pirots 5 configuration “94%” without its actual help screen, or treat the RTP99 comparison as a test of another casino’s withdrawals. A smaller house edge reduces the mathematical cost; it does not make the session predictable.
Questions & answers
Did you verify the RTP of Pirots 5?
No direct in-game theoretical percentage was captured for the Pirots 5 version on this account. LeoVegas’s monthly table displayed a 93.99% total for Pirots 5, but that is a historical outcome measure, not proof of the configured RTP.
Link to this answerWhy compare €1,000 of turnover?
It makes the house edge tangible. At 94% RTP the long-run expected loss is €60; at 99% it is €10. The €50 gap applies to €1,000 wagered in total, not to the amount deposited, and a short session can finish far above or below either average.
