5 New 2023 Slots, Only 2 Clear 97% RTP: Full Breakdown
Genie’s Jewels and Fruit Queen are the only slots in the search-casino.com database with a documented RTP of 97% or higher, and both launched in July 2023 — nine years after Billys Game’s 2014 debut sitting in the same catalog. Bayou Richesse, released a month earlier, falls just short at 96.03%, missing the 97%+ bracket entirely.
Which 2023-launched slots clear the 97% RTP threshold in our database?
Only two out of three recent, fully-documented releases in our records reach 97% RTP or above: Genie’s Jewels at 97% and Fruit Queen at 97.11%. Bayou Richesse, despite launching in the same summer window, sits at 96.03% — roughly a percentage point below the cutoff, which under the search-casino.com taxonomy keeps it outside the 97%+ tier even though the gap looks small on paper.
| Slot | Provider | RTP | Volatility | Reels / paylines | Max win | Release | 97%+ tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genie’s Jewels | Mobilots | 97% | Low | 5×5 | x10,000 | 07 Jul 2023 | Yes |
| Fruit Queen | AGT Software | 97.11% | Medium | 5×6, 18 lines | x9,720 | 01 Jul 2023 | Yes |
| Bayou Richesse | JVL | 96.03% | Medium | 5×4, 40 lines | x1,000 | 06 Jun 2023 | No |
The RTP figures above are provider-declared and reflect the configuration recorded in this system; the actual return in a live session can shift depending on the specific game build a casino runs, so checking the in-game paytable before staking is still the safer move.
Genie’s Jewels (Mobilots): low volatility, 5×5 reels and a x10,000 ceiling
Genie’s Jewels posts a 97% RTP with low volatility, meaning payouts land more often but at smaller individual sizes than a high-variance title. The 5×5 grid caps out at a x10,000 multiplier, with stakes running from 0.1 to 5.0 per spin, which keeps the entry cost modest relative to that ceiling. Mobilots is credited with the game and is live at three casinos in our database, including Xon Bet.
Fruit Queen (AGT Software): 18 paylines and a 97.11% RTP ceiling
Fruit Queen carries the highest documented RTP in this cohort at 97.11%, paired with medium volatility across a 5×6 reel set and 18 paylines. Stakes stretch from 0.1 up to 90.0, a noticeably wider range than Genie’s Jewels, and the max win sits at x9,720 — close to, but still under, Genie’s Jewels’ five-figure multiplier. The title comes from AGT Software, a studio whose portfolio is distributed to three casinos in our records.
Bayou Richesse (JVL): why 96.03% RTP misses the cutoff
Bayou Richesse falls just under the 97% line at 96.03%, the only one of the three fully-documented releases to miss the threshold despite launching in the same June-July 2023 window. Its 40 paylines across a 5×4 grid are more than double Fruit Queen’s line count, but the max win of x1,000 is an order of magnitude below what Genie’s Jewels and Fruit Queen offer, and the RTP gap is what keeps it out of the 97%+ tier in this comparison rather than the payline count or stake range, which runs from 0.4 to 100.0.
Where to play these new slots: casinos stocking Mobilots and AGT Software
Mobilots titles including Genie’s Jewels are available at a small footprint of three casinos in our database, one of them being Xon Bet, while AGT Software’s Fruit Queen sits within the wider Fruits & Sweets themed slots category alongside other fruit-machine mechanics. Both providers keep a narrow but consistent distribution footprint rather than blanket coverage across the operator base, which is worth checking directly on an operator’s lobby before assuming either studio is stocked. For a broader look at where these and other 2023 releases sit, the games catalogue tracks RTP, volatility and release dates across the full recorded set.
