RTP is a long-run mathematical setting, not a session forecast. Operators can deploy certified variants, so a percentage quoted elsewhere may not match the game currently open. The active information or paytable screen is the decisive record.
Open the game information panel
Before staking, find the help, rules or information control inside the loaded game. Record the title, provider, version identifier if shown, RTP, maximum win rule and feature description.
Distinguish theoretical return from outcome
RTP describes a long-run model over many plays. It does not predict the next spin or guarantee that a short session returns the stated percentage. Volatility describes distribution, not a higher expected return.
Check mode and jurisdiction
Confirm whether the game is demo or real-money and which operator supplied it. A demo can teach controls, but it does not prove that every operator hosts the same RTP configuration.
Preserve evidence of a mismatch
If the lobby, review and in-game panel disagree, capture all three with timestamps and use the game panel for the deployed version. Ask operator support to identify the game build rather than averaging the numbers.
Before you act
- active help screen opened
- provider and version recorded
- RTP treated as long-run
- mismatch evidence preserved

Questions answered
What is the correct Aztec King RTP?
Use the percentage shown inside the active game because certified variants can differ.
Does RTP predict my session result?
No. It is a long-run theoretical measure, not a short-session promise.
Is demo mode proof of the real-money version?
It demonstrates mechanics, but the live game information should still be checked.
