How this material is made
Every number quoted on this site is either the standard, published figure for a game or one we worked out ourselves — and in each case it was checked before it was written down.
Last updated 14 August 2026
Who writes it
The guides, rules panels and explanations are written and maintained by the Maple Play Room editorial desk. We do not publish invented author biographies, stock photographs of an imaginary team, or claims of expertise we cannot demonstrate. Where a byline would be appropriate, material is attributed to the site itself.
Where the numbers come from
Probabilities on this site are derived from first principles and verified by enumerating every possible outcome, not by simulation or by copying another site.
- The poker frequencies were checked against all 2,598,960 five-card hands in a 52-card deck.
- The sic bo figures were checked against all 216 combinations of three dice.
- The roulette figures follow from 37 equally likely pockets and the published payouts.
- The Runeclimb odds follow directly from the formula printed on that game's page.
The hand evaluator that scores Midway Draw was tested by running it over every one of those 2,598,960 hands and comparing the counts to the known distribution. They matched exactly, which is why the paytable on that page can be trusted to describe the game you are actually playing.
What we will not publish
- Invented statisticsNo player counts, no round totals, no review scores, no figures we cannot verify.
- Fabricated quotes or testimonialsThere are no reviews on this site because there is nobody to have written them.
- Dated news or eventsEverything here is written to stay true, so nothing is pinned to a moment.
- Strategy that does not workNo betting systems, no hot-and-cold theories, no advice that contradicts the arithmetic.
- Anything that reads as gambling promotionNo links to gambling services, no affiliate arrangements, no comparisons that send readers elsewhere.
Sources
Game rules and payout tables follow the standard versions of these games as they are played in regulated casinos and described in the established reference literature on casino mathematics. Where a game has several common variants — sic bo payouts differ between jurisdictions — we say which version this site uses and price it accordingly.
How often it is re-checked
Rules panels are reviewed whenever the game they describe is changed, and every page carries the date it was last updated. Because the content is evergreen — arithmetic and rules rather than news — a page that has not changed in a year has not gone stale.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, we would rather know. Substantive errors are fixed and recorded on the corrections page; typographical fixes are made quietly. Reports go to hello@mapleplayroom.com.
