What is Football Studio?

Football Studio is a live dealer table from Evolution, launched in 2016 and presented as a football broadcast rather than as a casino table. There is a studio set, a pundits' desk and match graphics, and underneath all of it sits a card game that resolves in seconds: two cards are dealt, one to Home and one to Away, and the higher card wins with a third outcome for a tie. The presentation is the product. A card game with two cards has no strategy in it at all, and dressing it as a match gives a viewer something to follow between rounds and a reason to stay at the table. That is worth naming rather than sneering at — it is what the format is for, and knowing it is what stops a run of results from feeling like form. The number worth understanding is the one this site does not print. The maximum return listed for this game is 11x the stake, which tells you the main market sits close to even money and the length comes from side bets staked separately. Two published sources disagree about the table's return by roughly eight percentage points, and both can be correct at once, because a table with side bets does not have one return. The main market and each side bet are separate propositions with separate maths. The practical consequence is that any single RTP figure quoted for Football Studio is answering a question about one bet and being read as an answer about the table. The figure for the bet you are about to place is in the table's own information panel, which describes the version your operator has installed.
