What is Table Game RTP?

Table game RTP is the return-to-player figure quoted for card, dice and wheel games, and it works differently from the single number printed on a slot. Two things move it. First, the rules of the specific table: the number of decks, whether the dealer stands on a soft seventeen, the payout for a natural, and whether a wheel has one zero or two all change the theoretical return. Second, in games with decisions, the published figure assumes the mathematically correct play in every situation, so weaker decisions return less than the headline suggests. Bet selection matters too, since side bets and proposition wagers on the same table typically return less than the main bet. Whatever the figure, it is a long-run average and never a guide to one session.
