Decipher the casino's advantage in gaming.

Updated this week

The house edge is the statistical advantage the casino has in any game β€” it's how casinos remain profitable over time.

πŸ“ How It Works

House edge is expressed as a percentage. For example, a game with a 2% house edge means the casino expects to earn $2 for every $100 wagered on average.

The flip side of house edge is RTP (Return to Player) β€” a 2% house edge = 98% RTP.

  • Varies by game β€” slots and roulette tend to have a higher house edge, while games like blackjack can have a lower edge

  • Long-term metric β€” calculated over thousands of rounds. Short-term results will vary widely

  • Helps inform your play β€” games with a lower house edge offer better odds over time, though payouts may be smaller
