Fortunately, there are still very few casinos that tamper with the repayment percentage on the slot machines. We have received confirmation from Royal Casino that they neither have nor have any plans to lower the payback percentage on some slot machines. We have also not found lowered repayment percentages at other popular casinos such as NordicBet, Casino.dk and Mr Green.
On the other hand, you have to be careful if you play at some of the small casinos – the so-called white label casinos, which share a gaming license with many other casinos, and usually only handle marketing and possibly customer service itself, while the actual casino operations are handled by another company.
It looks worst for the group of casinos operating under license from AG Communications Limited. They have lowered the payback percentage on all the games we have checked from PlayNGo, including Book of Dead, Fire Joker and Legacy of Dead. Typically you get an RTP that is 2% lower than at other casinos. In addition, the repayment percentage on the NetEnt game Divine Fortune has been lowered by half a percent. The casino group consists of i.a. following casinos:
- Casino Luck
- Danish777
- Jackie Jackpot
- Jambo Casino
- Karamba
- MagicRed
- NextCasino
The other large group of white label casinos in Denmark is not much better. They are licensed under the name Skill on Net Limited, and here you should consider staying away from the game Starburst from NetEnt. If you play Starburst at the following group of casinos, you only get an average payback of 92.05% – 4% less than the 96.09% that is the standard at most other casinos. The group consists of, among other things, the following casinos:
- 44 Aces
- CasinoandFriends
- Clemens Arcade
- DrueckGlueck Casino
- EU Casino
- ICE36
- LuckyLouis
- LuckyMeSlots
- LuckyVegas
- Mega Casino
- PlayJango
- Playmillion
- PlayOJO
- PlayToro
- QueenVegas
- SimbaGames
- SlotsMagic
- Swift Casino
Unfortunately, there are also some of the larger casinos that have turned on the RTP button. LeoVegas has lowered the payback rate on PlayNGo slots by around 2%. This is again the case with popular games such as Book of Dead and Fire Joker.
Videoslots has lowered the payback percentage for Starburst and Book of Dead by approx. 2% to respectively 94.05% and 94.25%. On the other hand, we have not found lowered refund percentages for other PlayNGo games.
Finally, we found a single game with a lowered RTP on Casumo: Reactoonz 2. It’s not a very popular game, so it’s a bit strange to see it as the only game that has changed. It could therefore mean that Casumo is doing it as a test to see if some players complain about it.
The vast majority of slot machines are the same in all casinos
It is still rare to see reduced payout percentages for slot machines – for the vast majority of the over 1,000 slot machines available at Danish online casinos, you have exactly the same chance of winning at all casinos. Until recently, we only knew about PlayNGo, which offered the casinos to adjust the refund percentage. But since NetEnt has now also started to do it, it is something you should be aware of. Together, the two game developers are behind some of the most popular slot machines in Denmark, incl. Starburst, Book of Dead and Divine Fortune. If you are tired of it, you can write to your casino, as it still seems that the casinos are experimenting with it. If they get enough inquiries, they may change it again. Alternatively, you can avoid games from the two game producers when you play at the casinos mentioned above.
