RTP and house edge

Pai Gow Poker has a theoretical return to player (RTP) of 97.4%, which is a house edge of 2.6%. RTP is a long-run average over a very large number of rounds, not a guarantee for any session.

Provably fair

Every round of Pai Gow Poker is generated from a secret server seed, a client seed you can change and a nonce, combined with HMAC-SHA256. The hash of the server seed is shown before you play. When you start a new seed the old one is revealed, so you can recalculate and verify each result yourself. Provably Fair | Check Every Result
