Mega Joker's official RTP is 99.00% - the figure comes from NetEnt, the game's provider, and it is among the highest return rates ever published for a slot. It is also conditional: the 99% rate applies only when you bet all 10 coins, and dropping to 1 coin per spin cuts the published return to 76.9%. That single condition is the whole story of this page - what the figures are, where each one comes from, and what you have to do in-game for the headline number to actually be the one you are playing at.
The headline figure: 99.00%, straight from the provider
NetEnt's own game sheet lists Mega Joker's RTP as 99.00%, with a hit frequency of 17.00% on a 3x3 grid. This is not an affiliate estimate - it is the provider's published specification, which is why the game tops high-RTP rankings year after year. Our Mega Joker Slot Review: Supermeter, Mystery Wins and the Real RTP Story covers the gameplay itself; this page stays with the numbers.
The condition: 99% only applies at full coins
The 99% rate applies only when you bet all 10 coins. Play at 1 coin per spin and the published RTP falls to 76.9% - a gap large enough to turn one of the best-returning slots in existence into one of the worst. The mechanism is the game's structure: betting 10x the coin value is what gives you the chance of entering Supermeter mode, and the high-return mathematics live there. Coin values run 10p, 20p, 50p or £1, so in practice the full-coin game costs £1 to £10 per spin.

Why two different maximum win figures circulate
Published pages genuinely disagree: the provider's sheet lists a maximum payout of 200 x bet, review directories list a maximum profit of x2000, and the provider separately states that the maximum win in Supermeter mode is 2000 coins. The figures are not typos - they measure different things, in different units, in different game modes. Coins, bet multiples and mode-specific caps are all in play, and no single number summarises them honestly. When you see one big number quoted without a unit or a mode attached, that is a simplification; the three published values above are what the sources actually say.
Does your casino change the figure?
For Mega Joker the published RTP comes from the provider as a single specification, and the bet level - not the casino - is what moves your real return between 76.9% and 99%. That said, the general habit of checking the in-game information panel still applies here: it shows the rules and return of the exact build in front of you, and it is the only place that outranks any review page, including this one. The same panel confirms the coin values and the Supermeter rules before you commit a bankroll.
What this means in practice
- Always play the full 10 coins - the 99% figure exists only there, and the £1 minimum full-coin spin is the real price of entry.
- Never judge the game by a session at 1 coin: the published mathematics of that mode are 76.9%.
- Treat the maximum win figures as mode-specific: 2000 coins is the provider's stated Supermeter cap.
- The hit frequency of 17.00% means most spins lose - normal for the genre, worth knowing before you chase the return figure.
Frequently asked questions
What is the RTP of Mega Joker?
The provider publishes 99.00%. That rate applies when betting all 10 coins; at 1 coin per spin the published figure is 76.9%.
Is the 99% figure a promise of winnings?
No. RTP is a long-run statistical average, not an outcome of any session. With a hit frequency of 17.00%, most individual spins lose even at the full-coin rate.
Why do review sites show different release dates?
The provider's sheet lists 01-10-2008 while review directories list 2013-10-01 - the game has been re-issued over its life, and different pages record different milestones. Both dates appear in published sources.
What is the most I can win on Mega Joker?
Published sources give three mode-specific figures rather than one: a provider-listed maximum payout of 200 x bet, a Supermeter maximum of 2000 coins, and a directory-listed maximum profit of x2000. Which applies depends on the mode you are in and the unit being counted.
