That speaks nothing. Imagine that to prove anything with blackjack you need at least 1,000,000 deals. If we are talking about slots variance, probably we are looking at 10,000,000,000 or more spins to get anywhere close to the real TRTP.

Certainly the TRTP is not the same online compared to what you will get in your local casino(s) - generally online is higher. But even there the TRTP will vary from casino to casino. Online it may be the same everywhere only if the software provider (Novomatic) does not allow its clients to configure the game themselves. I don't know much about this aspect on Novomatic. BUT I wouldn't rely so much on the advertised TRTP. I think those figures are just made up, and easily may be +/- 2% than way they do advertise which is HUGE for the hardcore gambler.
For example if you look at NETENT single deck blackjack advertised TRTP, IGT blackjack pro and compare the advertised TRTP figures with MGP BJCA Combinatorial Analyzer (Google for it, is free) you will see what I mean. And there are more examples, but is not the time now.
So if this type of errors happen with easily quantifiable games like blackjack, who is to say that slots TRTP's are real?
But anyway, you have asked about Book Of Ra (T)RTP so I have found this article (copy/pasted) for you:
"
Not many European slots regulars will need an introduction to Novomatic's popular Book Of Ra slots - they have a place in virtually every land-based casino across the continent and I've personally played the game as far apart as the Gran Casino Barcelona, the Admiral Casino in Budapest and my "local" casino, Empire in London.
Novomatic have gradually been bringing all their Super-V+ Gaminator slots online and the classic 9-line Book Of Ra was the first to show up. That game is still around but the Deluxe version has really taken over. One extra payline and enhanced graphics are all you really get in the Book Of Ra Deluxe but it does feel a whole load better.
Coincidentally, the RTP (expected long term "theoretical" return) on both Book Of Ra games is set to a shade over 94.2%. That's only average for an online slot game to be honest but better than on the majority of Gaminator machines in land-based locations which tend to be banded: 90-92% and 92-94% being the most common. The highest percentage RTP of all the online Gaminator slots belongs to Lucky Lady's Charm (97%) but the rest all tend to float around 95% give or take.
The online versions of both Book Of Ra slots are pretty much identical to the versions you play in terrestrial casinos which is what you'd expect to be fair. In fact, having played both online and "offline" versions extensively, I can't really think of any differences at all. The only thing that's missing online is the familiar sound of a Gaminator game powering up and that's hardly worth writing home about!"
