The Shimmering Woods RTP and data analysis
The Shimmering Woods slot by Play'n GO: RTP 96.2% (5 versions), high volatility. Free demo with no sign-up, every RTP version and what a session costs.
RTP in context
The headline RTP of 96.2% is 0.1 points above the median of 96.14% across the 3,708 slots in our catalogue, and higher than 56% of them. Among Play'n GO slots it ranks 204 of 368, where the average is 96.22%.
That headline is the best case. The lowest published version is 84.2%, 12.0 points lower, which is higher than only 1% of slots when you compare lowest versions. If you play at an operator that runs the low version, you pay about $120 more per $1,000 wagered.
What a session costs on average
RTP is a long-run average. Over a very large number of spins, every $1,000 wagered on The Shimmering Woods returns about $962 and keeps about $38 at the headline RTP, or $158 at the lowest version.
Put in session terms: 100 spins at $1 is $100 wagered, which costs about $3.80 on average ($15.80 at the lowest version). A real session can end far from that average, in either direction, especially on a high volatility slot.
How it is likely to feel
Play'n GO publishes The Shimmering Woods as high volatility: wins come less often but can be much larger.
No hit frequency is published for this game, so we do not show one. Volatility is the studio’s own label and there is no common scale between studios.
