What this blog is about
Fair Flies describes the actual inner workings of casino games. It doesn't cover whether you ought to play them or where to find them, but rather the technical details: the rules, the features, and the underlying numbers.
This involves examining topics such as the way a pokie's paylines are calculated, what a house edge actually means, how blackjack side bets affect the maths, or the reasons a bonus round pays in a specific way. I try to keep the language plain, so you don't need a background in statistics to follow along.
Who it's for
People who are curious about the inner workings of games on a screen or at a table will find this useful. Maybe you play now and then and want a clearer picture. Or, you might have no playing experience and just want to know how the machinery functions. Regardless, you're welcome here.
How the articles are made
I start by researching each piece using the rules documents and game sheets from the providers, and then I cross-reference this with other sources I can verify. I'll mention if specific figures originate from a particular sheet. I'd rather inform you if something isn't clear than make a guess.
Independence
Fair Flies operates independently. It takes no payment from casinos and doesn't provide links to any. There are no sponsored articles and no affiliate agreements.
