These slots are frankly dated. They look like they were made in the early 2000's decade. No information is provided on the theoretical return.

BetConstruct offers four popular versions of video poker with competitive pay tables, ranging in return from 98.98% to 99.54%. However, much like the slots, they look almost two decades outdated.
I would like to give a very strong warning that the auto-hold feature is terrible! I believe it to only hold cards that are part of a made hand.

Blackjack
Live Blackjack | |
The live blackjack game has the following rules:
- Eight decks
- Dealer stands on soft 17
- Dealer peeks for blackjack
- Double after split allowed
- Surrender allowed
- Re-splitting not allowed
According to our blackjack house edge calculator, the house edge under these rules is a respectable 0.50%.
There are also three side bets:
- Perfect Pairs — 5-12-25 pay table for a house edge of 7.95%.
- Honey Bonus — 3-5-10-20 pay table is used for a 13.51% house edge.
- Lucky Sevens — 3-25-50-100-500 pay table for a house edge of 49.88% (ouch!).

- Dragon or Tiger: 3.73%
- Odd, Even, Red, or Black: 7.69%
- Tie (pays 11 to 1): 10.36% (Note: The help file incorrectly states the return is 67.23%, implying a house edge of 32.77%).
- Suited Tie (pays 50 to 1): 13.98%
Roulette

A single-zero wheel is used for a house edge of 2.70% on every bet.

Baccarat -- Super 6 |
Baccarat is played two ways, the standard way with a 5% commission on Banker bets, as well as Super 6, which I refer to as the Nepal variant of commission-free baccarat. Here is the house edge of the bets offered in the traditional baccarat game.
- Banker: 1.06%
- Player: 1.24%
- Tie: 14.36%
- Banker Pair: 10.36%
- Player Pair: 10.36%
- Either Pair: 13.71%
- Perfect Pairs: Pays 26 for a house edge of 9.68%.
- Tie Bonus: ? (The help file doesn't say what ties pay not specifically listed on the pay table)
- Sum Bonus: ? (The help file mention's this bet that pays based on the sum of points between Player and Banker hands, but I can't find where to bet it on the table. I will take the trouble to analyze it when I'm sure the bet can be made anywhere, somehow.)
Here is the house edge of the bets offered in the Super 6 baccarat game.
- Banker: 1.45%
- Player: 1.24%
- Tie: 14.36%
- Banker Pair: 10.36%
- Player Pair: 10.36%
- Super 6: Pays 16 to 1 for a house edge of 8.43%.
- Dragon 7: Pays 40 to 1 for a house edge of 7.61%.
- Panda 8: Pays 25 to 1 for a house edge of 10.19%

BetConstruct offers what I think is an exclusive game, Bet on Poker. It is based on a six-player poker game, where you bet on who will eventually win based on their cards, which are all exposed. The help file is not clear on what happens in the event two or more players tie, so I can't quantify the odds until that question is answered.

Live Dealers
As seen above, BetConstruct has a live dealer studio offering blackjack, roulette, baccarat, dragon tiger, and Bet on Poker. The odds on the games are on par for the industry. However, I must give a Wizard finger wagging of shame for the 49.88% house edge on the Lucky Sevens side bet in blackjack.
The dealers seems to deal a quiet, efficient, and friendly game. My only issue is the help files are terrible, written in broken English. Some of the content, for example in the baccarat help file, was obviously copied and pasted from my baccarat page.
