How every game works, and what the casino keeps
Each game below lists the bets, what they pay, and the house edge: the share of every bet the casino expects to keep in the long run. A 5% edge means that for every $100 you put on the table, $5 is gone on average, however the next few rounds go.
under 1% — as good as it gets, still a loss 1–5% — typical table game over 5% — avoid even by casino standards
Every bet, ranked by house edge
Click a column to sort. Even the best bet on this list loses. The only bet with no edge, the odds behind the line in craps, can only be made after a Pass Line bet that carries one.
