The Mathematical Advantage of the Casino
|
||||
<br>The idea that the casino always comes out on top is common knowledge. But what is this "edge" exactly? These two concepts are the most important numbers in gambling.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
Defining the Casino's Advantage
|
||||
<br>It represents the casino's built-in profit margin on any given game. If the house edge is 2%, the [casino](https://www.emanuelavenanzoni.it/games/vampire/)'s theoretical average earning from $100 in bets is $2. It's important to remember this is a long-term average. In the short term, anything can happen – you can win big or [casino](https://branddiretto.com/casino/malina-casino/) lose fast.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
The Player's Perspective
|
||||
<br>RTP is the inverse of the house edge. It represents the percentage of all the wagered money that a specific game will pay back to players over time. A 96% RTP means a 4% house edge (100% - 96% = 4%).<br>
|
||||
<br>Looking up a game's RTP is a smart move before playing.<br>
|
||||
|
||||
A Comparative Look
|
||||
<br>Different casino games have vastly different odds for the player. Choosing games with a lower house edge (and higher RTP) gives you a better chance of winning in the short term and [casino](https://branddiretto.com/casino/casinia-casino/) makes your bankroll last longer.<br>
