Identify the product

Record the exact game name, supplier or version, jurisdiction or property, date, denomination, and wager level.

Similar branding can support different approved configurations.

Capture settlement

Photograph or transcribe qualification, pushes, commissions, natural payouts, dealer procedures, bonus categories, maximums, and footnotes.

Clarify whether quoted awards are to-one, for-one, or total return.

Separate optional action

List base wagers, later required wagers, side bets, progressives, feature purchases, and promotional credits separately.

A blended percentage is meaningful only when the wager mix is explicitly defined.

Verify before calculating

Check that probabilities sum correctly, outcome categories do not overlap, strategy matches the rules, and the denominator is labeled.

Save the primary rule source and review date so future changes can be detected.
