Most all top online casinos voluntarily subject themselves to regular
audits (usually monthly) by a qualified and reputable third party firm,
such as Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC). These audits generally focus on
two aspects of the online casino's operations: their random number generator and their payout rates. The latter -- payout rates -- is the subject of this article.
An
online casino's payout rates are displayed as a percentage -- that
being the percentage of incoming wagers that are paid out in winnings.
As you can imagine, the higher the payout rates, the better. The top
online casinos are often considered so, in part, precisely because they
offer the highest payout rates.
A top online casino with the
highest payout rate in video poker may not have the best payout rate for
slots. Payout rates vary within top online casinos for each individual
game. If you're planning on joining a top online casino for a specific
game -- be it poker, craps, baccarat, video poker, roulette, blackjack,
slots, keno, or any other top online casino game -- check the top online
casino's payout percentages for that specific game.

or non-member -- to view. They'll even keep archives of all their past
audits, also open to public viewing.
