Best Payout Online Casinos

1. Casino Days Highest average RTP

Casino Days has the highest average RTP on this list at 98.30%, blended across its slots, table games and live dealer titles. The Casino Days Alberta terms state that independent testing laboratories test and certify every game’s random number generator and RTP, so the figure you can check yourself is the theoretical one on each game’s info screen. Casino Days doesn’t publish audited payout reports, though.

They excel with a library of over 4,000 games, led by Pragmatic Play and Relax Gaming. Relax’s Money Train 2 and Money Train 3 sit among the featured slots alongside Pragmatic’s Gates of Olympus 1000 and Sweet Bonanza, with smaller catalogues from Printstudios and Foxium. The drawback is the table side: the live casino runs on OnAir Entertainment and Pragmatic Play only, and the table game selection is thinner than at the other sites here, which matters because table games are where RTP runs highest.

Pros

• Highest average RTP on this list at 98.30%
• Over 4,000 games, led by Pragmatic Play and Relax Gaming slots
• Every game independently certified for RNG and RTP under its Alberta terms

Cons

• No published payout audit reports
• Thinner table game selection, with no Evolution live tables

2. Sports Interaction Monthly audited payout reports

Sports Interaction is the only casino on this list that publishes measured payout figures. Its 98.25% average RTP is backed by a monthly audit from iTech Labs, which works out the actual return on each game type from the game-server logs, and the reports are posted on the System Fairness page of its Alberta site. The July 2026 report puts roulette at 98.04%, video poker at 97.91% and blackjack at 97.78%.

The standout is Evolution’s live floor, which includes Evolution’s Infinite Blackjack, XXXTreme Lightning Roulette, and Crazy Time. It runs alongside the own-branded blackjack tables at Sports Interaction casino. Pragmatic Play supplies slots such as Gates of Olympus 1000 and Big Bass Bonanza 1000. The drawback is the level of detail in the audits. Results are grouped by game type rather than by title, so you still need each slot’s info screen to see what that particular game returns.

Pros

• Monthly iTech Labs audits of actual payouts, published on its Alberta site
• Measured returns of 98.04% on roulette and 97.78% on blackjack in July 2026
• Evolution live floor plus own-branded blackjack tables

Cons

• Audit results are grouped by game type, not by individual title
• Reports run a month or more behind

3. DAZN Bet High-RTP live tables beside a sportsbook

DAZN Bet posts a 98.20% average RTP across a compact lobby of just over 200 games, all from Pragmatic Play. It doesn’t publish audited payout reports. Its Alberta terms treat each game’s published return to player, set out in the game rules, as the rate the game has to pay at, and a game that pays out differently counts as a malfunction.

The live casino is a plus: 28 Pragmatic Play Live tables for blackjack, roulette and baccarat, the games with the highest RTPs in the lobby, run from the same DAZN Bet account as the sportsbook. Slots such as Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza 1000 and Big Bass Bonanza round out the list. The drawback is with every game coming from Pragmatic Play, your choice of high-RTP titles is limited to what one catalogue offers.

Pros

• 98.20% average RTP
• 28 live tables for blackjack, roulette and baccarat
• Casino and sportsbook in one account

Cons

• Every game comes from a single studio, Pragmatic Play
• No published payout audit reports

4. 888casino 390 exclusive live dealer tables

888casino lists an average RTP of 98.20% across more than 1,800 games, level with DAZN Bet and a tenth of a point behind Casino Days. It doesn’t publish audited payout reports, so the figure to go by for any one game is the theoretical RTP in its info screen.

The standout is the live dealer casino: over 390 exclusive live dealer tables that you can’t play anywhere else, including 222 live blackjack tables and 94 live roulette games. Those are the games where RTP runs highest, and Evolution supplies them, with NetEnt and Microgaming covering the slots. The drawback is the rest of the library. Outside the live casino it leans heavily toward slots, which usually return less than table games, so your return depends on which side of the lobby you play.

Pros

• Over 390 exclusive live dealer tables, only available at 888casino
• 235 blackjack tables and 102 roulette games, most with a live dealer
• Operating since 1997

Cons

• No published payout audit reports
• Outside the live casino, the library leans heavily toward slots

5. Tooniebet Biggest library for finding high-RTP titles

Tooniebet carries a 98.10% average RTP across more than 6,000 games from 88 studios, the largest library on this list, which gives you the most titles to hold to a 96%+ threshold. It doesn’t publish audited payout reports, so the RTP in each game’s info screen is the figure to go by.

The studio list includes NetEnt, Thunderkick, and Play’n GO, the studios behind some of the highest-RTP slots, such as Blood Suckers and 1429 Uncharted Seas, with Evolution and Pragmatic Live running the live dealer tables. Roulette is well covered too: 66 games, 40 of them live, so a European wheel at 97.30% is easy to find. The drawback is Tooniebet launched in 2024, and its payouts aren’t instant, with e-wallet withdrawals taking one to two days.

Pros

• Over 6,000 games, the largest library on this list
• Exclusive Evolution live dealer games
• 66 roulette games, 40 of them with a live dealer

Cons

• Short track record, having launched in 2024
• No published payout audit reports

RTP vs. payout percentage

RTP and payout percentage are often used interchangeably, but they don’t mean the same thing. The difference is that one is a design figure and the other is a measured result.

The practical difference: RTP tells you what to expect from a game, and an audited online casino payout percentage tells you whether the site’s games are delivering it.

Payout can also mean how quickly a casino sends your winnings. If withdrawal speed matters more to you than RTP, our guide to quick withdrawal casinos ranks sites by processing time.

Tips to find the best payout games

Finding the best payout casino games takes a minute or two per title, and most of the work is reading information the casino already has to show you. AGLC’s standards require every registered site to give you the odds of winning, payout odds or RTP before you place a bet.

None of these steps changes the math of a single spin, but following them increases your long-term chances of a better return.

Average payout percentages by game type

RTP varies more between game types than between casinos. A site’s average can only be as good as its game mix. Most table games return over 97%, while slots sit a few points lower.

Progressive jackpot slots generally offer the lowest base RTP in a lobby, because part of every bet goes into the jackpot pool rather than into regular wins.

1. Blackjack

Blackjack is the one casino game where your decisions change the house edge. In online blackjack, you play each hand against the dealer, aiming to finish closer to 21 without going over, and every hit, stand, double and split either keeps the math in your favour or hands it back.

With standard rules and basic strategy, the house edge is around 0.5%, the lowest of any widely available game. The strategy is fixed: a basic strategy chart identifies the correct play for every hand.

• Typical RTP: 99.4% to 99.6% with basic strategy on standard rules. The same game played on instinct usually returns closer to 98%.
• How easy it is to reach the stated RTP: moderate. You need to follow basic strategy on every hand, but keeping a chart open beside the game gets you most of the way.
• Drawback: the rules on the table matter as much as your play. A table that pays 6:5 on a blackjack instead of 3:2 adds about 1.4% to the house edge, so check the payout printed on the felt before you sit down.

2. Roulette

Roulette is a game of pure chance: nothing you do changes the odds of a spin, only which bet you place and on which wheel.

It’s one of the easiest games to learn, and across online roulette games, the European single-zero wheel returns 97.30% on every bet on the layout. French roulette goes further: with the La Partage rule, you get half your even-money stake back when the ball lands on zero, which lifts those bets to 98.65%.

• Typical RTP: 97.30% on European roulette, 98.65% on even-money bets at French roulette with La Partage, and 94.74% on American roulette.
• How easy it is to reach the stated RTP: easy. Choosing a European or French wheel is the only decision that affects your return.
• Drawback: no strategy can lower the house edge below the wheel’s own. Betting systems such as the Martingale change the size and timing of your wins and losses, not the odds.

3. High RTP slots

Slots make up most of any Alberta casino lobby, and the RTP range within them is wide. The average sits between 94% and 97%, but high-RTP titles such as NetEnt’s Blood Suckers (98%) and Thunderkick’s 1429 Uncharted Seas (98.6%) sit well above it.

There’s no strategy to learn, so the published RTP applies to every player equally. And with thousands of online slots in a typical Alberta lobby, you can hold yourself to 96%+ and still have plenty of choice.

• Typical RTP: 94% to 97%, with high-RTP titles at 97% and above.
• How easy it is to reach the stated RTP: easy, but it can be hard to see in practice. Slots are built around volatility, so a single session can land a long way from the average in either direction.
• Drawback: the same slot can run at a lower RTP from one casino to the next, since studios offer several settings. The RTP in the info screen is the only figure that applies to your play.

4. Baccarat

Baccarat asks you to back one of three outcomes: Banker, Player or Tie. The cards are drawn by fixed rules, so there are no in-hand decisions to make.

The Banker bet returns 98.94% even after the standard 5% commission on wins, which puts it among the lowest house edges in the casino. Rounds are also quick and the rules take minutes to learn.

• Typical RTP: 98.94% on Banker, 98.76% on Player, and 85.64% on Tie at 8:1.
• How easy it is to reach the stated RTP: very easy. Back Banker or Player and skip the Tie. That’s the whole strategy.
• Drawback: no-commission tables recover the 5% elsewhere, usually by paying half on a Banker win with a total of six. That raises the Banker house edge to about 1.46%.

5. Video poker

Video poker plays like five-card draw against a paytable instead of other players. You’re dealt five cards, choose which to hold, and your final hand is paid according to the paytable on screen.

On the right paytable, video poker has the highest theoretical RTP of any game type. The paytable is also printed on screen, so you can work out the return before you bet rather than trusting a number in a menu.

• Typical RTP: 99.54% on full-pay (9/6) Jacks or Better and 100.76% on full-pay Deuces Wild with perfect play. A reduced 8/5 Jacks or Better table drops to 97.30%.
• How easy it is to reach the stated RTP: hard. The stated figure assumes the correct hold on every hand, and the correct hold changes with the paytable. A strategy card for that exact paytable is the minimum.
• Drawback: full-pay tables are uncommon online. Many lobbies run reduced paytables that cut the RTP by one to three points, and the game name alone won’t tell you which version you’re playing.

Niche high-RTP games worth trying

A few lesser-known table games return more than most slots and are easy to overlook in a busy lobby:

• Pai Gow Poker: You split seven cards into a five-card and a two-card hand, and both have to beat the dealer’s to win. Many hands end in a push, so a bankroll lasts, and the RTP sits around 97.3% after the 5% commission on wins.
• Craps (pass line bets): The pass line carries a house edge of 1.41%, a 98.59% RTP. Where a game offers the odds bet behind the pass line, it pays at true odds with no house edge at all. Proposition bets in the middle of the table are where the edge climbs, as high as 16.67% on Any Seven.
• Three Card Poker: The Ante and Play bets carry a house edge of about 3.37% of the ante, or 2.01% of the total amount you bet on a hand. The Pair Plus side bet depends on its paytable, and on a common version the edge rises to 7.28%.

Game types with the lowest average payouts

Some game types pay back noticeably less on average. They can still be worth playing for the entertainment value, as long as you know what the lower return costs you.

• American roulette: The extra double-zero pocket raises the house edge to 5.26% (94.74% RTP), and the five-number bet on its layout carries a 7.89% house edge. The European wheel is the same game with one fewer zero.
• Keno: Online keno usually returns 90% to 95% depending on the paytable and how many numbers you pick, and land-based keno often carries a house edge of 25% or more.
• Scratch cards: Online scratch cards use a random number generator like slots and publish an RTP on their info screen, but the range varies more by title, and many sit below the slot average.

If you enjoy the quick rounds of keno or scratch cards, video poker is the better-paying alternative: rounds are just as short, and a full-pay Jacks or Better table returns 99.54%.

Does volatility affect how much a high RTP game can pay out?

Volatility decides how that return is paid out. RTP is the long-run average, and volatility, also called variance, describes how wins are spread out. A low-volatility slot pays small amounts often, while a high-volatility slot with the same 96% RTP can go hundreds of spins without a return. Then it can pay one large win that makes up the average.

In a single session, volatility usually matters more than RTP. Two 96% slots can leave you with very different balances after 200 spins, and the higher-volatility game has the wider range of outcomes in both directions.

To balance the two, choose on RTP first and volatility second:

Responsible gambling

A high RTP makes a budget last longer, but every casino game still has a house edge, so the expected result of playing over time is a loss. Gambling works best as paid entertainment with a limit set before you start.

Canadian casinos regulated by a provincial body have to put player protection first. In Alberta, these player protection rules are built into the account: limits, breaks, activity reminders, and a connection to AGLC’s self-exclusion program are conditions of registration.

Signs of problem gambling to look out for:

• Chasing losses: raising your bets or playing longer to try to win back money you’ve already lost.
• Spending beyond your plan: using money meant for bills or savings, or borrowing to keep playing.
• Hiding it: keeping how much or how often you gamble secret from family and friends.

Left unchecked, a gambling addiction carries real risks:

• Financial harm: debt, missed payments and borrowing that grows faster than any win can cover.
• Strain on mental health and relationships: anxiety, low mood and conflict at home often build alongside the money problems.

If you’re worried about your own gambling or someone else’s, these Canadian organizations can help:

• Alberta 24-hour Addiction Helpline: free, confidential support at 1-866-332-2322, operated through Recovery Alberta.
• GameSense Alberta: AGLC’s responsible gambling program, with information and advisors at gamesenseab.ca.
• Responsible Gambling Council: a Canadian non-profit with resources and self-assessment tools at responsiblegambling.org.

Responsible gambling tools

AGLC’s standards set the tools every registered site has to offer and require that, once a limit is set, the site stops you at it. Where you set more than one limit over different periods, the lowest one applies.

• Deposit limits: Cap how much you can add to your account over 24 hours, 7 days, or 1 month.
• Loss limits: Cap how much you can lose, meaning winnings minus the amount spent, over the same three periods.
• Session time limits: Cap the time you spend in the site’s playing areas, set in blocks of at least 1 hour.
• Self-exclusion: AGLC’s provincial program, registered once at selfexclusion.ca, blocks you from every regulated site in Alberta for six months, one year, two years, or three years. It can’t be cancelled before the term ends and applies to both land-based and online casinos.
• Cool-off periods: In Alberta’s rules, the short break is called a break in play: one day, one week, one month, two months, or three months, with no wagers allowed, but your balance and account still accessible. AGLC uses “cooling-off period” for something else: the wait of at least 24 hours before a request to loosen or remove a limit takes effect.

AGLC registration requires that all the best payout casinos on this list offer these responsible gambling tools in their account settings.
