This is the first time I ever see the RTP figures of those slots on William Hill.
And I am shocked but not surprised to see how low they are really.
Now I also understand why bankroll after bankroll got drained without a single bonus or decent win.
So glad I closed my account with them a few months ago.
And what the heck is it with those jackpots indeed.
Most jackpots are always over 30k for a long long time and this changes the RTP drasticly as it seems in the casino's favour.
Such a shame as I really like some of their slots but when they don't pay the fun is over soon.
What a ridiculous low RTP figures...
I don't recognise any of those slot's names - anyone know which software provider they are from?

I agree most of those RTPs look appallingly bad for online slots, and I'm as mystified as everyone else as to why the RTP should suddenly go down with the jackpot gets to 30K - I would have though it would go UP as the jackpot gets bigger!

I think there is some confusion here. It probably doesn't help that OP didn't include the explanatory paragraph that came with the email:
"From 28/10/2013 we will be improving the way we manage our Jackpot Contributions for the Vegas Slots listed below. This will have an effect on the overall RTP % dependent on the Jackpot size. Please note the base game RTP % will remain exactly the same, only the jackpot contributions will change. For you as a player this means that a sizeable jackpot will always be available on Vegas and when it has been won it will be replenished more quickly allowing you to continue playing your favourite games with the chance to win one of our many amazing jackpots!"
So what it sounds like this means, if I'm reading it correctly, is that the game payouts haven't really changed. It just means that, when the jackpot is under 30k, WH will put more money into the jackpot from each spin you play. After 30k, they'll put in less. Due to how the math works out, this means that the overall RTP will remain the same (according to William Hill at least, those are some conveniently rounded differences, I'm not sure we have all the info here.)
Again, if I'm reading this correctly, this will not affect your expected payouts for a particular sized jackpot. It simply means that the jackpot will climb faster at first, and slower once it reaches the point.
That might not be a terrible idea, since who wants to play a jackpot slot when the value is low? On the other hand, you won't really see many jackpots breaking far past their average value. Beneficial for people who play slots at random, bad for people who try to hit big jackpots.
Also, if you want a lot of playtime for your money, you should avoid most jackpots in general, though there are some exceptions.
Thanks for posting the additional text just read the start and then looked at the table. my bad.
Unless i am mistaken though if it is the way you say then wouldn't the rtp be the other way around? If more of your wager is being siphoned off for the jackpot when the jackpot is low wouldn't it mean your rtp should lower when <30k rather than higher...

Really disappointing as being able to get your winnings straight away is a massive attraction, but it's useless when the games themselves are beyond tight.
Ladbrokes used to allow you to play online and collect your winnings from their shops immediately. William Hill didn't at the time but they may now and if not, Laddies might still do that....worth having a look possibly.
Ladbrokes still pay out online winnings in cash if you take your card into the shops.
They tend to have more spare cash in the till earlier in the day (eg pre lunchtime) rather than late in the evening.
