General information
Random game play
This game is totally random; the odds of getting any particular outcome are always the same and are not based on any other factors or prior outcomes e.g. stake value, previous wins or losses, time of day, account balance etc.
Return to player percentage
The expected return to player (RTP) reflects the theoretical return over a large number of plays. The RTP is expressed as the percentage returned to players in winnings of the total amount staked, e.g. if £1,000,000 was staked and£970,000 was returned, the RTP of the game for that period of play would be 97%.
Where the La Partage rule is not being used, the expected RTP for this game is 97.30%. Where the La Partage rule is being used, the expected RTP will be lower, depending on the amount of play on the even money chances.
The actual RTP during a playing session can vary widely, in either direction, from the theoretical return.
Other
Game rules and information can be accessed from the game for all formats of the game.
The maximum win from a single game is £250,000.
