How to check the RTP of a table game: read the rules, then subtract
A table game's return is not hidden the way a slot's version is: it follows from the rules, the rules are in the help panel, and the arithmetic is published. What varies is the rule set, and the gap between one rule set and another is larger than the gap between most slots. This guide shows where to find the rules in the game, what each rule costs, and gives the published house-edge figures for the main games so a reader can see the RTP by subtraction.
Where the RTP is in a table game
Open the game's help or rules panel, usually behind an i or a question mark in the game frame. A software table game from a studio prints its theoretical return in the rules directly, often as a percentage per bet type, because the certification requires it; a live dealer table prints the rules and the payouts, and the return follows from them. Where a return is printed, read it for the bet you intend to make: roulette prints one figure for all inside and outside bets on a single-zero wheel and another for the double-zero wheel, baccarat prints one for banker, one for player and a much worse one for the tie, and blackjack's figure assumes the correct decision on every hand. Where a return is not printed, the rules are enough, and the next section gives the published figures for the standard sets.
House edge to RTP
Subtract from 100. A 2.70% house edge is a 97.30% RTP; a 0.43% edge is 99.57%. Table games are quoted by edge and slots by return, and the two describe the same margin.
The published figures
House edges from the Wizard of Odds house-edge table, a mathematician's published reference, with the rule set noted; the RTP is 100 minus the edge. Blackjack and video poker figures assume optimal play, which is what "with correct decisions" means throughout this page.
| Game and rule set | House edge | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Blackjack, liberal Vegas rules | 0.28% | Correct decisions on every hand |
| Blackjack, Atlantic City rules | 0.43% | Dealer stands on soft 17, split to four hands, double after split |
| Video poker, Jacks or Better, full pay | 0.46% | Full-pay paytable and correct holds |
| Baccarat, banker | 1.06% | After the commission |
| Baccarat, player | 1.24% | |
| Craps, pass line | 1.41% | The line bet alone |
| Roulette, single zero | 2.70% | Every bet on the layout |
| Roulette, double zero | 5.26% | Every bet on the layout |
| Baccarat, tie | 14.36% | The worst common table bet |
| Slot machines, for comparison | 2%-15% | The table's range; slots vary by title and version |
Which rules move the figure
Roulette is the plainest case: a second zero on the wheel takes the edge from 2.70% to 5.26%, and nothing else on the layout changes. Pick the single-zero wheel whenever both are offered and the choice is worth nearly three points. In blackjack the rules stack: a natural paid at 6 to 5 in place of 3 to 2 costs the player 1.39%, a natural paid at even money costs 2.27%, a dealer who hits soft 17 costs 0.22%, and the number of decks, one to eight, the doubling rules and the splitting rules each move the figure by fractions. The blackjack rules guide takes the rules one at a time. In baccarat the banker bet's edge includes the commission and the tie is a different game at 14.36%. In video poker the paytable is the rule set, and a machine that pays less on a full house or a flush than the full-pay table is a worse game by a fraction of a point per line.
The one figure that assumes you
Blackjack's edge is computed for a player who makes the correct decision on every hand. A player who stands on a soft total or refuses to split eights is giving the house more, and the rules panel cannot print that.
Live tables, side bets and bonus play
A live dealer table is a rule set with a camera on it, and its return is the rule set's; a live blackjack table that pays 3 to 2 and stands on soft 17 is the same game as the software version with those rules. What live tables add is side bets, perfect pairs and the like, which carry their own edges, usually several times the main game's, and which the rules panel prices separately. And with a bonus active, table games are often weighted at a fraction of their stake toward wagering or excluded altogether, because a 0.43% edge clears a requirement far more cheaply than a slot; the bonus terms guide covers the contribution clause, and the reviews here note where table play is excluded.
The slot comparison
The published range for slot machines is a 2% to 15% edge; the Pragmatic Play titles covered here sit near the low end of it by the tracker's figures, and the slot RTP guide says how to check the version in play.

Questions about table game RTP
What is the difference between house edge and RTP
They are the same figure from two sides. House edge is the share of each bet the casino keeps on average; RTP is the share returned; one is 100 minus the other. Table games are usually quoted by house edge, slots by RTP. Single-zero roulette at a 2.70% house edge returns 97.30%.
Which table game has the best RTP
Blackjack with good rules and correct play: a published house-edge table puts liberal Vegas rules at 0.28% and Atlantic City rules at 0.43%. Full-pay Jacks or Better video poker at 0.46% and baccarat's banker bet at 1.06% follow. The figures assume optimal decisions; a player who guesses gives up more.
Why does the same game have different RTPs at different casinos
Because the rules differ. Roulette with one zero and with two differ by nearly three points, 2.70% against 5.26%. Blackjack that pays 6 to 5 on a natural hands 1.39% more to the house than one paying 3 to 2, and a dealer who hits soft 17 adds 0.22%. The rules panel inside the game is where the RTP is decided.
Do live dealer tables have the same RTP
The rules decide and the format does not. A live table with the same rules as a software one has the same edge; live tables sometimes carry side bets and rule variants that raise it. The rules are in the game's help panel either way.
