" And before you ask, the OLGC knows. They argue the law re RTP in SA (as it is in all other states) is theoretical and as long as a game returns the minum over its lifetime and/or that all identical games on identical machines operating in the state together return the minimum, then any one machine in any one venue is considered to comply with the law. e.g. if one 1c dolphin treasure game with a set RTP of 91.75% in venue A returns just 70% and all other 1c dolphin treasure game with a set RTP of 91.75% operating in the other 400 venues across the state together return 95%, then the machine returning 70% is still legal. "

"Section 3.6.1 provides as follows:
"A gaming operator or a venue operator who holds a gaming machine entitlement must ensure that the pay-out table on gaming machines at each venue is set so as to return to players the players' proportion of the total amounts wagered each year at that venue, after deduction of the sum of jackpot special prizes determined as prescribed and payable during that year."
My reading of this section is that it applies to the venue and not the machines. The requirement with respect to machines relates to the "spin cycle"."
