Dead or Alive Saloon: RTP, odds and how it works
Dead or Alive Saloon is Evolution's live card game show built on NetEnt's Dead or Alive: you bet on any of 52 cards and the dealer draws from a 104-card deck until a regular card appears.
The Potential Win starts at 20 and multiplier cards (20x to 100x) and Double cards raise it; Bounty cards start a pick-one-of-three bonus.

Cost per hour
What an hour of Dead or Alive Saloon costs on average
Expected cost is stake per round × rounds per hour × house edge. Change the inputs in the calculator to match your own stake and pace.
RTP: Evolution. Rounds per hour are an assumption for the example; Evolution does not publish a pace for every table, and real pace depends on the number of players.
Variance
How Dead or Alive Saloon swings from round to round
One card
One card in 52 wins, so most rounds lose; a win pays the Potential Win, 20 for one or more.
Several cards
Covering more cards wins more often, but every card costs a full stake.
