How unevenly the return arrivesThe short of it
The game runs on a 5x3 grid across 25 paylines, and the provider is Aristocrat, with a 2021 release behind it. The theme is Asian longevity, which is the common thread running through the artwork and the name. The headline characteristic, though, is the volatility label: high. That single word drives almost everything else on this page.
High volatility describes how the wins are spread, not how much money you can win. It means long stretches of nothing punctuated by larger hits. Nothing about that label tells you when the hits arrive, how many spins apart they are, or whether your session will last an hour or ten minutes. Treat it as a description of shape, not of outcome.
The minimum bet on this game is A$0.01. On a 25 line pokie that figure is a denominator, not a recommendation. The staked amount per spin is what the machine works from, and the published minimum simply says how low the ladder goes. If you have a bonus attached to your account, the partner's published terms cap bets on a bonus at A$5, which is a real ceiling you have to sit under while a bonus is active.
A useful exercise is to work backwards. Decide what a session's worth of play is worth to you in dollars, divide it by the number of spins you expect to take, and see whether the answer sits comfortably above the minimum. If it does not, the game is still available, but the session you are imagining is longer than the money behind it.
There is no RTP figure published for Peace and Long Life in the data we have, so nothing here can tell you the average return on this specific machine. Published return percentages for other pokies sit in the mid-nineties, which means the long-run average return is below what was staked. That is an average across an enormous number of spins, not a promise about your next hour.
A session is a short run, and short runs do not have to look like the average. You can be above it or below it for a very long time. The practical consequence is that the volatility label and your session length are the two levers that actually matter, and both are choices you make rather than features of the game.

FAQ
Yes. The published specification lists volatility as high, on a 5x3 grid with 25 paylines. High volatility means the wins are spread out rather than frequent, so plan for gaps.
The published minimum bet is A$0.01. That is the bottom of the betting ladder, not advice about what to stake per spin.
The published specification says a jackpot is present. No jackpot amount, prize tier or odds are published in the figures we have, so treat the presence of a jackpot as a feature list item rather than a plan.
If you are playing with a bonus, the partner's published terms cap bets on a bonus at A$5. Above that cap the bonus terms may be affected, so check the full terms before staking.
