What is House Edge?

House Edge is the mathematical advantage that casinos have over players in every game, expressed as a percentage. It represents the average profit the casino expects to make from each bet over time. For example, if a game has a 5% house edge, the casino expects to keep $5 from every $100 wagered by players. House edge is the opposite of RTP - if a game has a 96% RTP, its house edge is 4%. Lower house edge games give Australian players better odds of winning, so look for games like blackjack (0.5-1%) or baccarat (1.06%) rather than games with high house edges like some pokies (5-15%).
