House Edge Basics
Every casino game prices in a margin. Roulette, slots, and blackjack each carry a mathematical edge for the operator.
House edge is the complement of RTP on slots. On table games, rule sets determine edge — blackjack with good rules can fall below 1%.
Key Takeaways
- House edge is the casino's mathematical margin
