How should this dataset be interpreted?
RTP is a long-run statistical label. It does not predict a short session, remove variance, or make a game safe to play. High-volatility games can produce long losing runs even when the published RTP looks similar to another game.
18+ only. This dataset is for research, education, and citation. It is not gambling advice, a game recommendation, a betting system, or an outcome prediction.
