Monthly Certification Reports
At the start of each month, Jacobson Gaming LLC, an independent auditing firm, performs a comprehensive series of statistical analyses of our previous month's game play logs for each Casino game.  The purpose of these inspections is to first verify, and then certify:
  1. that the "Return to Player" (RTP) percentage for each game is within published specifications.
  2. that each game demonstrates a statistical distribution of results that is consistent with published specifications.
These monthly inspections and certifications provide to our Customers the assurance that the games of Pinnacle Casino are fair, and remain fair.
