Blackjack Payout Percentages

Blackjack’s RTP hovers around the 99.5% mark, provided you’re using basic strategy, but can vary depending on the variant you’re playing.

Factors like when the dealer must hit/stand, the presence of the surrender rule and altered payouts for a winning blackjack (e.g. do online casinos pay 3:2 or 6:5?) all impact on house edge.

Another thing to consider is the number of decks being used. The fewer decks in play, the better the odds for players. That’s the reason it’s pretty rare to find single deck blackjack tables.

Roulette Payout Percentages

The RTP of American roulette is generally 94.74%, increasing to 97.30% and 98.65% in European and French roulette respectively.

This is due to the removal of the 00 pocket in the former, and the addition of en prison/la partage rules in the latter - where a player can potentially recover their stake after a spin of zero.

Clearly, when you’re given the choice, you should always opt for European roulette over American roulette.

Plus, because those extra rules don’t require any additional knowledge or skill, it’s worth keeping an eye out for French roulette if you’re after the best online casinos that payout.

Poker Payout Percentages

It isn’t really possible to come up with a reliable RTP figure for variants like Texas Hold ‘Em, Omaha and so on because it depends so much on things like player and opponent skill.

It’s much easier, however, to figure out the RTP of casino variants like Three Card poker – where players can expect an RTP of around 98%.

It’s also worth considering Video poker, which typically has an RTP of around 99% (even exceeding 100% in some variants), but requires the use of strategy.

Baccarat Payout Percentages

With an RTP of 98.94% on the banker bet and 98.76% on the player bet, vs 85.6% on the tie bet, punto banco (often called North American baccarat) offers a couple of bets with very attractive odds for players. Hint: it’s not the tie bet!

The addition of side bets in games like super 6 and EZ baccarat can certainly spice up the action, but is unlikely to offer any odds better than those of the original banker (or player) bet.

Just make sure you’re aware of the commission paid on wins made on the banker bet.

Slots Payout Percentages

Competition is so fierce online that most, but not all, online slots have an RTP of around 95-98%. Notable exceptions include progressive slots, which are often closer to the 88-90% range. The casinos with highest slot payouts rarely drop much below these levels.

The RTP of offline slots, where players are more likely to choose a game because of its theme rather than in-depth analysis of its payouts, varies considerably.

According to Nevada law, games must offer an RTP of at least 75% for each wager. In fact, most offline slots will fall somewhere in the range of 85% to 98%.
