Return to Player percentage for casino games. For example, 96% RTP means the house edge is ৳4 over the long run.

Know exactly what you stand to win before you place your bet
The higher the RTP, the more a player can expect back over the long run. Always check the RTP before choosing a game.
RTP is a long-term average — results in any single session may vary. All game RTPs on Joya 9TV are verified by independent third-party auditors.
Many online players bet without really understanding odds — which makes it hard to gauge the true risk of any wager. If you want to play smart on Joya 9TV, understanding odds is a fundamental skill.
Simply put, odds are a numerical expression of the likelihood of an event occurring. In cricket, when Bangladesh's odds are shown as 2.00, it means the bookmaker estimates a 50% chance of Bangladesh winning. The lower the odds, the higher the implied probability — but the lower the potential return.
In-play betting is the most exciting way to bet on cricket. When a batsman is scoring quickly, that team's odds shorten (they become the favourite) while the opposing team's odds lengthen. A wicket reverses the picture. On Joya 9TV, live odds update in real time, so you can make decisions based on exactly what's happening on the field.
Odds move fastest in T20 matches, where a single over can bring 24 runs or 2 wickets. In Test matches the movement is slower, but pitch conditions, weather, and session results keep the odds shifting throughout.
Odds work a little differently in Live Casino. Here, the house advantage is expressed through RTP (Return to Player) percentage. A 99.5% RTP in Blackjack means a skilled player loses an average of ৳0.50 per ৳100 over the long run — making Blackjack one of the best-odds games in Live Casino.
Andar Bahar works a little differently. It's a traditional card game from the Indian subcontinent, and on Joya 9TV you can play it with a live dealer. The RTP on the main bet is around 97.85%, which is better than many slots.
A bet on which team wins the match. The simplest market available.
Over/Under — whether the total runs will be above or below a set line.
Which player will score the most runs.
How the first wicket of the match will fall.
Total runs scored in the first 6 overs.
A bet on which team wins the toss.
When odds are higher than the true probability of an outcome, that's a value bet. Value betting is profitable over the long run.
The built-in advantage held by the bookmaker or casino. It's never zero, but you can choose games with a lower house edge.
Formula: 1 ÷ Odds × 100. Odds of 2.50 = 40% probability. Only place a bet when your own estimate exceeds that figure.
Bet while the match is in progress. Live odds on Joya 9TV update in real time, so quick decisions are essential.
Expert strategies and odds analysis for playing with a live dealer
Following basic strategy can bring the house edge down to as low as 0.5%. It's essential to know the rules for soft hands, hard hands, and pair splitting.
The Banker bet carries a house edge of just 1.06%, while the Player bet sits at 1.24%. Avoid the Tie bet — its house edge is 14.4%.
In European Roulette, even-money bets (red/black) have a winning probability of around 48.6%. Avoid American Roulette — the double zero nearly doubles the house edge.
The side where the first card was dealt has a slightly higher chance of receiving the Joker. That's why Andar pays out at 0.90× and Bahar at 1.00×.
Subtract 1 from the decimal odds. For example, 2.50 − 1 = 1.5, which you write as 3/2.
Numerator ÷ Denominator + 1. E.g., 3/2 = 1.5 + 1 = 2.50. Use decimal odds for easier calculations.
1 ÷ probability. A 40% chance → 1 ÷ 0.4 = 2.50 odds. Only place a bet when your own estimate exceeds that figure.
