[Quick take] Emperor of the Sea Deluxe — Microgaming
Four 'Deluxe' titles in the Microgaming catalogue publish the same RTP. That grouping, and how this one differs from its original.
Core rules
Released 7 January 2021. Published RTP 96.88%, volatility High, bet range 0.88–44. The maximum win, feature list and reel layout are not published.
What stands out
The original Emperor of the Sea (2017) is listed at 96.02% and Medium with no published bet range, so the Deluxe version sits a step higher on both RTP and label. Football Star Deluxe, Rugby Star Deluxe and Basketball Star Deluxe in the same catalogue are also 96.88% and High. The originals vary, yet the four Deluxe versions converge on one value — which says something about what the suffix marks.
