About this video: Same Slot, Different RTP: Why It Matters

This video uses real gameplay from Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 2 to show something many players don’t know: the same slot can pay back different amounts depending on where you play it.

Blueprint Gaming offers this game in three RTP versions: 92%, 93% and 95%. The casino chooses which one to run, and the game looks exactly the same either way, so you can’t tell by playing it.

RTP is a long-run average, not a promise for one session, but the gap adds up. Across £100 of total stakes, the 95% version keeps about £5 on average, the 93% version about £7 and the 92% version about £8.

Stake size matters too. In our recording, the Power Play button raised the cost of each spin from 10p to 50p, so the same number of spins put five times as much money through the game. Before you play, open the game’s info screen, check the RTP and try our free RTP calculator.

However, rules and offers change. For that reason, we check every video against the Gambling Commission and other official sources. In fact, we last checked this one on 19 October 2026.

Here’s something a lot of players don’t know: the same slot can pay back different amounts, depending on where you play it. Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 2 is a good example.

Blueprint Gaming offers it in three RTP versions: 92%, 93% and 95%. The casino chooses which one to run, and the game looks exactly the same either way.

RTP is a long-run average over millions of spins, not a promise for your session. But the gap adds up. Across £100 of total stakes, the 95% version keeps about £5 on average. The 92% version keeps about £8.

Your stake matters too. The Power Play button raises the cost of each spin. In our recording, it went from 10p to 50p. Same number of spins, five times the money going through the game.

So before you play, open the info screen and check which RTP the casino is running. Our free RTP calculator shows what that number means for your budget.
