Start with what the figure describes.
Theoretical return to player, usually shortened to RTP, describes a mathematical long-run average under specified game rules. It is calculated across a very large number of bets. It is not a prediction about what one person will receive from one session.
For example, a theoretical RTP of 97% describes an average return of 97 units per 100 units wagered in that model. The total wagered is the sum of bets, including any winnings that are bet again. It is not the same thing as an initial deposit.
A lobby display is a different source.
A number shown beside a game in a catalogue may not explain how it was obtained. It could describe a particular game configuration or use another reporting convention. Without that context, it should not be treated as a verified theoretical value.
Our JILI RTP table labels its source as the partner lobby display. The current catalogue shows the same figure for all listed titles, so ranking these games by that number would add no useful information. Check the help screen in the game version you actually open.
Volatility describes variation.
Two games can have the same theoretical RTP and very different distributions of outcomes. Volatility is a way of describing that variability. A broad label such as low or high is only useful when the source and version are clear.
Neither a volatility label nor an RTP percentage tells you the next result. A series of losing rounds does not create a guarantee that a win is due. Increasing a stake after losses changes the amount at risk; it does not establish a reliable path back to a previous balance.
Use the numbers as context.
When comparing Super Ace with Golden Empire, start with the rules, the total cost of a round, and the information available for each version. Where a specification is not verified, treat that as a reason to check the game, not a blank to fill with an assumption.
