This guaranteed profit margin is known universally throughout the industry as the "house edge."
+How Casinos Create the Edge +
Casinos generate their edge simply by withholding a tiny percentage of the true probability payout.
+
Take European roulette, for example: there are 37 numbers on the wheel, making the true odds 36 to 1.

While table game players talk about house edge, slot machine players focus on Return to Player (RTP).
+
RTP is a long-term statistical average, not a guarantee for any single gaming session.
+Finding the Best Casino Odds +
Blackjack, when played with perfect basic strategy, offers a house edge of roughly 0.5%.
+
Conversely, games like Keno or the Tie bet in Baccarat feature massive edges exceeding 14%.
