Key Takeaways
- Compare games by house edge, not just RTP — a 1% RTP gap is a 1% margin gap.
- All compared titles must sit under the jurisdiction max to be deployable.
- Use the comparison to build a compliant title list before certification.
Illustrative estimates based on operator-provided inputs. Actual results depend on market conditions, player behavior, and regulatory requirements. Licensing and compliance in your market are your responsibility — confirm your local rules.
How This Calculator Works
Game comparison is a sort problem: list titles with RTP → compute house edge → flag over the market cap. This tool lets a licensed operator compare up to five games at once from their RTP values and your jurisdiction's maximum house edge.

The Model
house_edge = 100% - RTP
deployable = house_edge <= max_allowed
The tool ranks titles by house edge and marks any that breach the cap — so you build a compliant shortlist fast.
A Worked Example
Market max 10% house edge. Five titles at RTP 96 / 94 / 92 / 90 / 88:
| Title | RTP | House edge | Deployable |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 96% | 4% | ✅ |
| B | 94% | 6% | ✅ |
| C | 92% | 8% | ✅ |
| D | 90% | 10% | ✅ (at cap) |
| E | 88% | 12% | ❌ over cap |
Title E cannot deploy in this market without a different math model.
Build the List, Then Certify
A compliant comparison is step one; certification is step two. Confirm the official cap via the compliance hub, then check each title with the house edge checker.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why compare by house edge?
RTP and house edge are two views of the same number. Comparing house edges makes the margin gap obvious: a 95% RTP title (5% edge) vs a 92% title (8% edge) is a 3-point margin difference that compounds across every wager on your floor.
How many games can I compare?
The tool compares up to five titles at once. For a larger library, group by market segment and run the comparison per segment.
Does passing mean the games are certified?
No. This screens titles against a limit you supply. Each game still needs lab certification (GLI, BMM or local) scoped per market and per order before it can go live.
Does GOLDPRIME supply game math?
We build cabinets and platform software with certified math models for licensed operators, scoped per market and per order. Title selection is yours within the approved library.
