About Tobias

His topics are payout rates and their variants, the rules at a live table, and what VR changes in the arithmetic — duration, not the rate.

His basis is the games' info panel and the rules shown at the table view.

What his texts do not contain: rankings of "true" RTP values or in-house measurement series — a sound measurement would need hundreds of thousands of rounds.

Where a figure is missing, the article says so instead of estimating.

How these articles are written

  • Figures are taken from each game's info panel.
  • Table details come from the rules shown at the table view.
  • Every calculation can be repeated with your own numbers.
„The rate is in the info panel — a ranking does not replace it." – Tobias Hoffmann

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Tobias write about?
Payout rates, table rules and what technology in a casino really changes.

Does he publish his own RTP measurements?
No. A few thousand rounds do not even separate 96 % from 88 % from noise; a sound test would need hundreds of thousands.

Why are lists of "true" RTP values worthless?
Because the same game can run at 96 %, 94 % or 88 % depending on the operator. What counts is the figure inside the game.

Does he recommend particular games?
No. The texts show where the figures are and how to compare two games.

Does VR change the chance of winning?
No. VR changes the presentation and the length of a session, not the payout rate.
