THE HOUSE

Every table is run by the server: it shuffles, deals, spins and pays. Your screen only shows what the server says you may see.

WHAT THE HOUSE KEEPS

Blackjack: about 0.5% of what's bet with perfect play (4 decks, dealer stands on 17, blackjack pays 3:2).
Hold'em: 1.8% of pots that reach the flop, 6 shards at most. Nothing from pots that end before the flop.
Roulette: the American double-zero wheel keeps 5.26% of every bet (2 pockets in 38); the top line (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) keeps 7.89%.
Side bets: 1 shard a hand.
Baccarat (8 decks): Banker 1.06% (1:1 less 5% commission, so Banker bets go in 20s), Player 1.24%, Tie 14.36% (8:1).
Craps: Pass and Come 1.41%, Don't Pass and Don't Come 1.40% (bar 12), odds 0%, Place 6/8 1.52%, Place 5/9 4.00%, Place 4/10 6.67%, Field 5.56%, Hard 6/8 9.09%, Hard 4/10 11.11%, Any Craps 11.11%, 3 and 11 11.11%, 2 and 12 13.89%, Any Seven 16.67%.
Slots (PALISADE RUN, math sl-1): returns 96.03% of what's bet over every one of its 8,000 stop combinations. The line pays on 37.5% of spins, but only 16.3% pay more than the stake (21.25% just give it back); the top award is 250x, 1 spin in 8,000.
Plinko (math pk-1): returns 96.01% (all 4,096 paths); a ball pays 0.5x to 30x.

Slots and Plinko are this casino's own games (no real casino's machines or odds). The house's share is a project choice, kept under 100%.

What the house keeps is gone: it isn't paid to anyone. Shards can never be bought or cashed out.

FAIR PLAY

Before every hand, spin, roll or drop the server shows the fingerprint (SHA-256) of its secret seed. Your own seed (set it under FAIR PLAY at the table) and everyone else's are mixed in when the round starts, so nobody, the server included, can pick the cards. After the round the seed is revealed and anyone can rerun the shuffle or the spin: HAND HISTORY does it for you, right in your browser.

In Hold'em each card has its own fingerprint, so you can check the cards you saw without anyone seeing a folded hand. The seed and the whole deck show in your history after 24 hours.

Baccarat deals from one shoe for many hands, so its seed can't be shown until the shoe is finished (it would show the cards still to come). Every card of the shoe has its own fingerprint, all of them fixed when the shoe starts: each hand's cards come with their salts, and CHECK compares them with those fingerprints right away. When the shoe is done (cut card, or the table closes) its seed and every card go to your history, and CHECK reruns the whole shuffle. Your seed is mixed in from the next shoe on.

Craps: each roll has its own committed seed (shown after the roll; it can't tell you the next one). Slots and Plinko: each spin or drop likewise, and the reels stop and the ball falls exactly where those numbers say.

What CHECK proves: the result came from the committed seed and the players' seeds, so it was fixed before anyone could see it. It doesn't prove anything else about the server; the books check below is a separate audit of the shards.

THE BOOKS

Every day the server checks every table that closed: shards brought in minus shards taken home must equal what the house kept plus what was lost to the bot, to the shard.

AT THE TABLE

The buy-in is 5 shards. Top up between hands. Standing up sends what's in front of you back to your balance.
Sit out 3 hands, or close the game for a minute, and you're stood up (your shards go home).
Blackjack and Hold'em: up to 5 and 6 players; the first to sit sets the table's limit and side bet and starts it. Roulette, baccarat and craps: up to 6, always no limit, nothing to start. Slots and Plinko: one player per machine.
After every round the result stays up: 8 seconds for cards, 6 for dice and roulette, 3 for slots and Plinko, counted from the last card, the dice stopping or the ball landing. Nothing (READY included) skips it. Standing up is never held back by it.
Craps: if you leave with a Pass Line bet on a point or a Come bet on its number, those bets stay and the dealer rolls them out; you can't sit elsewhere until they're decided, then your shards go home.
A bot sits in at Hold'em when there are only two of you; it never sees anyone's cards.
