Dropping from 96% to 94% RTP means that, theoretically, if you were to wager (not deposit) £1,000 (1,000 x £1 spins) you could expect to have a resultant balance of £940, rather than £960. But this is not realistic.
The realistic outcome is going to be much worse than that for the average player. It is very difficult to meet theoretical RTP over just a thousand spins. You would need to do millions and millions of spins before you can accurately assume to meet this level. The provider will dictate exactly where they have shaved off this RTP in relation to the payouts and frequency of wins.
I would hazard a guess that they wouldn’t want to disrupt the high volatility meta that slots currently have these days, so that would mean (most likely) the odds of winning a bonus, or the more achievable wins, will be cut to meet this new RTP level. What does this mean? It means you will be much more likely to go bust from your starting balance than before.
