AI notice: what is generated, what is calculated
Every picture on this site was made with an AI image model, and every one is labelled as such. The figures are a different matter: they are calculated by code, never generated. This page explains both.
Every picture is AI-generated
The site uses 62 pictures, and all of them were created with an AI image generator. None is a photograph. We chose generated pictures because this is a reference about maths: a picture of a roulette wheel or a stack of chips sets the scene for a page, but it carries no information of its own, so there was no reason to photograph any real venue or game.
That also means you should not read anything into the pictures. They do not show a real casino, a real table, a real draw or anyone's real winnings. A wheel in a picture may have details that no real wheel has, and a table may not match the rules we describe. The text and the figures are what count; the pictures are decoration.
How each picture is labelled
Each picture is marked as AI-generated in three visible or readable ways, and once more inside the file itself:
- The badge. A small "AI" badge sits in the corner of every image.
- The caption. Where a picture has a caption, it begins with the words "AI-generated image." Where a design leaves no room for a caption under a picture, the same words appear in a note beside it.
- The alt text. The description read out by screen readers, and shown if an image fails to load, ends with "(AI-generated image)".
- The file. Every version of every picture, in each of the formats the site serves, carries the IPTC digital source type "trainedAlgorithmicMedia", the standard machine-readable way of saying that an image was made by a trained AI model.
The marker in the file matters because pictures travel. If someone saves or shares one of ours, the badge and the caption may be lost, but the marker goes with the file and can be read by software and by anyone who checks the image details.
Every figure is calculated
The numbers on this site are the part that has to be right, and none of them comes from an AI model. Each house edge, probability, payout and set of lottery odds is computed by code from the rules of the game, the same way a mathematician would do it on paper, only faster. A separate program then recomputes each figure by a different method and the two must agree. The how we calculate the odds page describes the method for every game, and the house edge explained page shows the basic sum in full.
The calculators work the same way. When you use the poker odds calculator or the lottery odds calculator, your browser runs the same code and works the answer out on the spot. Nothing is looked up from a model or guessed.
The editors review every page
Every page is reviewed by the editors before it is published. That review checks the explanations against the figures the code produces, the wording against the rules of each game and the site against its own standards: no casinos, no offers, nothing sold. The editors are responsible for everything the site says, whatever tools were used along the way.
Transparency and the EU AI Act
Article 50 of the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act sets transparency rules for AI-generated content. Put simply, people should be told when an image has been made or altered by AI, and such images should be marked in a way that machines can detect as well. Our labelling is designed to meet that standard in plain sight: a visible badge and caption for readers, alt text for screen readers and a standard marker inside each file.
This notice is part of the edition of 2 October 2026. If we ever change how pictures are made or labelled, this page will say so. The same openness applies to the odds themselves: they describe a cost, and if gambling is costing you more than money, our responsible gambling page lists free help.
Where to go next
AI and this site: questions people ask
Are any of the pictures on this site real photographs?
No. Every picture on the site is AI-generated, and each one says so on the image, in its caption and in its description for screen readers. They show the kind of object a page talks about, such as a wheel, a pair of dice or a lottery ball, not photographs of a real place or game.
Are the odds and house edge figures made by AI?
No. Every number is calculated by code from the rules of the game: pockets on a wheel, combinations of dice, cards in a shoe, numbers in a draw. A separate program then recalculates each figure by a different method. Nothing numerical on the site is generated by an AI model.
What is the IPTC marker, and how can I see it?
IPTC is a long-established standard for information stored inside image files. Its "digital source type" field has a value, trainedAlgorithmicMedia, that means the picture was created by a trained AI model. Every version of every picture on this site carries it. Most photo-editing programs and many free metadata viewers can show it if you download an image and look at its details.
Why label pictures that never claim to be photographs?
Because a realistic picture can easily be mistaken for a photograph, and a reader should never have to guess. Labelling every image the same way, in three places and inside the file, means the information survives if the picture is copied, shared or viewed without its caption.
Who is responsible for what the pages say?
The editors. Every page is reviewed by them before it is published, and the explanations are checked against the figures the code produces. If you find something wrong, please tell us through the contact page.
