Fist of Destruction RTP on Duel: 96.3% on the rules page, 96.35% on the badge — the same figure printed at one and two decimals, not two different numbers. The game has a bonus buy; its RTP was not read in this test.
Rakeback: $1.10 accrued on $60.00 wagered — the badge's prediction to the cent. Status: Matched.
What it costs you: the rebate is 1.83% of turnover; net edge 1.83% in the base game.
Session return: 65.8% — one block's result, not an estimate of anything.

The base figure was read from the in-game rules on Duel on the test date; Hacksaw notes it was derived from a ten-billion-round simulation. Configurations differ between casinos, so the information screen where you play is the number that counts — how to read it in a minute.
What this page proves — and what it doesn't
It proves nothing about the RTP: a hundred spins never do. It tests one deterministic claim — that Duel credits 50% of the house edge on every settled wager — by comparing the rakeback counter with the starting balance, ending balance and turnover. The rules are on the methodology page; this was the seventh test in the series and the second Hacksaw Gaming title.
A gap that dissolves under precision
Duel's rakeback tooltip for Fist of Destruction reads:
| Original RTP | 96.35% |
|---|---|
| Instant Rakeback | 50% |
| "Duel RTP" | 98.18% |
96.35% on the badge, 96.3% on the rules page — at first glance a repeat of the disagreement on Le Bandit. Look closer and it is the opposite case. The rules page prints one decimal, the badge prints two, and both are consistent roundings of one underlying value: an engine figure near 96.35% shows as "96.3" at one decimal and "96.35" at two. On Le Bandit the two sources could not be reconciled that way — 96.34% does not round to 96.4% at any precision — which is what made that gap real. Here the accrual sits exactly where the shared figure predicts. The habit worth copying: before calling two RTP figures a contradiction, check whether they are the same number printed at different precisions. Hacksaw Gaming does this routinely. "Duel RTP" is the interface's own aggregate of RTP plus rebate; we call that figure a conditional effective return, because the rebate accrues outside the game and has to be claimed.
How we tested
Starting balance $1,095.58, rakeback counter at zero. One block of 100 spins at $0.60 in the base game, no bonus buys — $60.00 of turnover. Ending balance $1,075.06, total winnings $39.48; the ledger reconciles to the cent: 1,095.58 − 60.00 + 39.48 = 1,075.06.
The measurement, to the cent
| Turnover | $60.00 |
|---|---|
| Rakeback accrued | $1.10 |
| Expected (badge, RTP 96.35%) | $1.10 |
| Expected (rules figure, RTP 96.3%) | $1.11 |
| Difference | $0.00 vs badge · $0.01 vs rules |
| Status | Matched |
Both predictions are within a cent of each other, and the accrual matches the badge's two-decimal figure exactly — what you would expect if that figure is simply the more precise print of the same number. Seventh game, seventh cent-level match, second studio's client behaving identically.
What it costs across the modes
| Mode | RTP | House edge | Rebate (from the badge) | Net edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base game (badge precision) | 96.35% | 3.65% | 1.83% | 1.83% |
| Bonus buy | not read | — | 1.83% | — |
The rebate is half the badge edge on every dollar wagered, including any spent on the bonus buy. The buy's own RTP was not on our screenshots; until it is read, assume the base figure and a few hundredths of uncertainty — on the seven other tested games where buy RTPs were read, they sat within 0.20 points of base. Halved is still not cheap: a low-edge table game costs less. Whatever the mode, the cost is (edge − rebate) × turnover; the rakeback guide has the arithmetic for any game. Net edge is rounded to two decimals.
Session outcome: 65.8%
The block paid back $39.48 on $60.00 wagered. Eleven sessions in the series now span 26.5% to 593.2%, and none of those figures estimates the long-run RTP of any game. The constant across all of them is the rakeback, which has landed on its predicted value every time. Luck moved the balance; only wagers moved the counter.
Where this test stops
One account, one date, USDT, with the 50% badge active — rates could differ by account, region or time, and Duel's terms can change after publication. The conclusions cover the accrual formula only, not session outcomes. We captured the base RTP line only; the buy-mode figure went unrecorded, so this test is consistent with the best-mode pattern found on Duck Hunters but does not stress it. And cent-level data cannot separate figures a few hundredths apart — the precision argument above rests on how rounding works, not on the cents.
Verdict
On this account, on this date, Fist of Destruction accrued instant rakeback at exactly 50% of the badge's house edge across the tested block, matched to the cent. The advertised number checks out — and the apparent badge-versus-rules gap turned out to be a rounding artifact, the first of the series' discrepancies to dissolve rather than deepen under scrutiny.
