Rock paper scissors versions pit you against the game's random pick. A win multiplies your stake, and many versions let you chain wins for a growing multiplier before you cash out.

How Rock Paper Scissors Works
You choose rock, paper or scissors; the game chooses at random. A win pays, a loss ends the round, and the draw rule depends on the version: some return the stake, some let you go again.
The Maths
| Wins in a row | Chance (1 in 3 win, draws replayed) | Illustrative multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50% | about 1.96x |
| 2 | 25% | about 3.84x |
| 3 | 12.5% | about 7.5x |
Illustrative figures assume draws are replayed and a 2 percent edge; real versions differ, so read the rules. Your choice has no effect on the odds against a random pick.
Verifying a Round
If the game is provably fair, open its fairness panel before you play and note the hashed server seed. After you rotate seeds, the casino reveals the original seed; hash it, check that it matches, and recompute your results. Our provably fair guide walks through each step. If a game claims to be provably fair but has no working verification panel, treat the claim as marketing.
Before You Play
- The game's pick is random; 'reading' it does not work.
- Each extra win in a chain halves the chance of reaching it.
- Cash out on a plan, not on a feeling.
Every round has a negative expected return. Fast games make it easy to place hundreds of bets in a session, so set a loss limit before you start.
