If you are not familiar with the term "payout percentage" (the percentage of winnings by the casino, from the total wagers made on a game), you need to know how important a factor this can be to the gambler who is serious about winning money.  Payout percentage essentially reflects how "loose" a game is over a period of time.  The higher the percentage, the more money that game is giving out. 

As dictated by internet gaming laws, licensed online casinos are required to reveal their monthly payout percentages, which are, at the least, averaged for all games at the casino.  This means that all of the money wagered on all games at the casino (usually spanning a full month) is correlated to all of the winnings paid out by the casino over that same time period.  Therefore, a payout percentage of 100% would mean that an even exchange of money took place between the online casino and players. 

Obviously, this number will always be below 100%, or else the casino would not be making any money.  Typically, average game payout percentages will be in the mid to upper nineties percentile.  The best payout percentages can be found at above 97%.  Just remember to check on an online casinos payout percentage history before you open an account.  If they are consistently achieving payouts in the upper nineties (above 96%) they are a good online casino to bet your money with.
