🔍 Understanding the Results

RTP (Return to Player)

The percentage of wagered money a game pays back over time. 96% means you get back $96 for every $100 wagered (on average).

House Edge

The casino's advantage = 100% – RTP. Lower is better for players.

Expected Loss per Bet

Bet amount × house edge. The average loss per round.

Expected Loss over N rounds

Loss per bet × number of rounds. Shows long-term expectation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is RTP?

RTP stands for Return to Player. It's the percentage of all wagered money a slot or game pays back to players over time. For example, a 96% RTP means the game returns $96 for every $100 wagered (on average).

What is a good RTP?

For slots, anything above 96% is considered good. Blackjack with basic strategy can reach 99.5%. Higher RTP means lower house edge.

How is house edge calculated?

House edge = 100% – RTP. For a 96% RTP game, the house edge is 4%.

Does RTP guarantee I will win that percentage?

No, RTP is a long-term theoretical average. In the short term, anything can happen due to variance.

Where can I find RTP for a specific game?

Check the game's info or paytable, the casino's website, or our High RTP Slots guide.

Does RTP include bonuses?

No, RTP is for the base game only. Bonuses can change the effective return.

Can I use this calculator for live dealer games?

Yes, live dealer games have fixed RTPs based on rules. Use the same formula.

🧮 Mathematical Formula

House Edge = 100% – RTP

Expected Loss per Bet = Bet Amount × (House Edge / 100)

Expected Loss over N rounds = Expected Loss per Bet × N

Theoretical Return = Bet Amount × N × (RTP / 100)

All calculations assume average outcomes over many trials. Individual sessions vary.
