20. Casino Mathematics 1 THEORETICAL WIN & HOLD PERCENTAGE Theoretical Win Since the potential win is calculated using a mathematical house edge which is derived from theory of probabilities, it remains theoretical win and not ‘actual win’. RAMACHANDAR SIVA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2006.
21. Casino Mathematics 1 THEORETICAL WIN & HOLD PERCENTAGE formula 1 Theoretical Win (TW) = Total Wager x House Edge % RAMACHANDAR SIVA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2006.
22. Casino Mathematics 1 THEORETICAL WIN & HOLD PERCENTAGE HANDLE Is defined the total amount of wager placed by player or players at a game or all gaming tables of the casino. It’s known as DROP when casinos assume all chip purchase are wagered. Casinos don’t keep track of total wagers placed for each game by every player. RAMACHANDAR SIVA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2006.
23. Casino Mathematics 1 THEORETICAL WIN & HOLD PERCENTAGE formula 2 Handle (Player) = Number of hands played x Average bet RAMACHANDAR SIVA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2006.
24. Casino Mathematics 1 THEORETICAL WIN & HOLD PERCENTAGE DROP Actual amount of cash sales of chips at a gaming table (or the whole casino). Includes warrant, marker and program chip sales. RAMACHANDAR SIVA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2006.
25. Casino Mathematics 1 THEORETICAL WIN & HOLD PERCENTAGE HOLD PERCENTAGE The net amount of money a particular game takes in (wins) as a percentage of the table drop over a certain period of time. RAMACHANDAR SIVA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2006.
26. Casino Mathematics 1 THEORETICAL WIN & HOLD PERCENTAGE formula 4 Hold Percentage = Actual win X 100% Actual Drop RAMACHANDAR SIVA. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.2006.
