I think, 240,000 bets is not enough to say something about real RTP, especially if they were made on three originals, Limbo, Dice, Plinko, combined. It means, roughly 80,000 bets on each game, right? This number is two to three orders of magnitude smaller than what is needed to claim something about a game’s RTP. BUT on any game where provably fair system is implemented, it should work perfectly. There's no excuses for its not working, in my opinion.
I disagree with this claim, I have never heard any scientific source that confirms that you need 2 to 3 orders of magnitude more to claim something about the RTP. I asked ChatGPT about this and it says the this number of games is more than enough to make good claims about a system and to question its RTP. If what you are saying is really true, please provide a source for it so that we can look how this number has been made and why.
I think the majority of players don't even know a thing about provable fairness, they only play the games to try their luck and that's it, even if a casino tricks those users they'll consider that as part of the game and think that they might not have good luck.
To be honest, there are very few people who might check such fairness thing and that's why the casinos can do their trick without much fear.
That's why I think the best way is to choose a reputable casino that has built trust for years, we can at least expect some fairness from the reputable casinos because they won't ruin their reputation by faking the provably fair system.
Like I have said before, this lack of education regarding those things is part of the reason and the problem. I mean we can't expect the average person to know how these things work and how you can verify them, it is too complicated for someone who is just looking for entertainment. Those that are a bit addicted to these things don't care at all I would say, so from both groups of gamblers there are very few people that would be even interested. This is one of the reasons why casinos can get away with some of these things, but it would be better if we could together push them to do better and provide easier ways for verification. The mentioned number of 240,000 bets, who is going to make this kind of test before playing at some casino? It is not a realistic expectation. More people would care if it was made simpler.
