Hi :)
I have question about High Low game. In this game /games/hilo RTP is 97%, and less because of rounding down.
I determined quotes and when I apply some reasonable strategies my RTP is more than 100%... How is that possible?
Thanks!

See the Wizard of Odds page:
High Low page at WOO
As shown at the end of this article, there are a number of different games that are called some version of High Low. It would help if you did some reading and then described to us the rules of the game you are posting about.

I'm guessing you have to make your wager (say $100) before the cards are dealt and then have to pick which way to go. I'm also assuming that an initial A or K or a second card tie means standoff and redeal.
If you include standoffs, there are 37 of them, so the payback would be (120.22+37)/169 = 93.03%.
(The above ignores the effect of the second card being a 2 or Q where you have an advantage on the following round. This happens 11 times out of 169 and is worth about 0.78%*11/169=0.05%)
Obviously if you could make your bet after the first card is dealt then if you could bet $1 on 3-J and $100 on 2 and Q you might make money!
11 starting cards (as A/K are redeal)
12 second cards (as same implied total redeal)
2 (3-K) 11ways pays 1.1 = 12.1
3 (4-K) 10ways pays 1.1 = 11.0
4 (A-3) 3 ways pays 3.5 = 10.5
5 (A-4) 4 ways pays 2.6 = 10.4
6 (A-5) 5 ways pays 2.1 = 10.5
8 thru K = 54.5
7 (A-6) 6 ways pays 1.87= 11.22
Total payouts = 120.22
Total wagers which have an outcome = 11*12 = 132
Payback = 120.22/132 = 91.076%.
If you include standoffs, there are 37 of them, so the payback would be (120.22+37)/169 = 93.03%.
(The above ignores the effect of the second card being a 2 or Q where you have an advantage on the following round. This happens 11 times out of 169 and is worth about 0.78%*11/169=0.05%)

Unfortunately you can't open the link... In this High Low game, the deck is infinite, you can get same card twice. A is the strongest card, then K ... and 2 is the weakest card.
You can play unlimited number of times. Tie is included in this game, that means you bet on greater and equal or less and equal. In case of A you are betting on equal or less. It is similar for card 2.
When I calculate the quotes and apply some strategy, my RTP is more than 1... In calculation of qoutes I used that RTP is 97%, that is one part of that calculation. And I think if I use one RTP in calculation of qoutes I sholud get that RTP, but is impossible. I'm always getting greater RTP.

Since this sounds a different game, and hence set of odds, please could you copy the exact rules and post them. Many thanks.

Very quick summary of game:

Payoff odds vary with each round. These odds are displayed to the player.
After each winning round, the player may choose to take the win, or place them as a bet on the next round.

So it gives you ~ 1.05 odds when A or 2 was the last result AND tie is even winning as well?
OK.
OK.

Like I wrote, for A and 2 is special situation. For card A you chose Low or Same. For card 2 you chose Same or High.

Right. And you win your wager 100% of the time in these situations.
Like wager max bet in these situations and min bet the rest.
Profit.

Yes, I got more than 100% and in calculation of quotes I use that RTP is 97%.

Looking at the demo it changes text for for a 2 you can bet "same" or "high" with the payouts being 12.61 and 1.05. Both of these are about 97% (or HE=3%).Quote: kineskicovekLike I wrote, for A and 2 is special situation. For card A you chose Low or Same. For card 2 you chose High or Same.
