UTH Blind and Trips Pay-Table Comparison
Compare the compulsory Blind schedule separately from optional Trips and progressive side bets.
Blind first
The Blind schedule affects a compulsory wager and therefore the base-game return. Record straight, flush, full-house and higher payouts exactly.
Trips separately
Trips is optional and has its own return. A generous Trips schedule does not repair a weak Blind schedule and vice versa.
Comparison method
Weight every net payout by its exact probability under the stated dealing and strategy model. Keep base-game and optional-wager denominators separate.
Separate the UTH settlement layers
Ante, Blind and Play belong to the base game but do not settle identically. Trips is an optional independent wager, and a progressive is another product again. Compare each schedule separately before combining their expected costs.
Comparison worksheet
For each table, record the Blind schedule, Trips schedule, progressive contribution, dealer-qualification wording and maximum/minimum Play multiples. Then apply strategy to the base game and evaluate optional wagers independently.
Why headline awards mislead
A larger rare-hand payout may coexist with reductions to more frequent outcomes. Use probability-weighted value across the whole schedule rather than ranking tables by their top award.

Standard Blind net payouts
The player must win the hand for this schedule to pay. A tie pushes. Below a straight, a player win pushes the Blind.
| Winning hand | Net payout |

| Royal flush | 500:1 |
| Straight flush | 50:1 |
| Four of a kind | 10:1 |
| Full house | 3:1 |
| Flush | 3:2 |
| Straight | 1:1 |
| Below straight | Push |
Compare compulsory and optional wagers separately
Record the whole posted schedule and any payout cap. A Trips table pays from the player’s hand category and follows its own rules; it is not the Blind table. Changing Trips does not change this calculator’s base-game settlement.
