It is no secret that some games offer you a better shot at winning than other games, and generally this is measured by the “house edge” of the game. So, in other words, you are much more likely to win in the long run if you play games that have a smaller house edge. Here are some of the most popular casino games, and listed with them is there house edge.

Texas Hold’em. This game has no house edge, because it is played against other people, not the house. Tablemates play against each other, and while the house does take a “rake” (usually five percent) out of every pot, this does not really effect your odds of winning or losing. Your skill, and the skill of the others at the table, are really the most important things to take into consideration.

Next is Black Jack. The house edge in Black Jack ranges from 0.20 to 0.63 percent. This variation is largely due to how many decks are used. The smallest house edge is the one in which a single deck is used, the largest being when an eight-deck shoe is used.

Another popular game is craps. The house edge in this game is about 1.41 percent. Other popular games are Three card poker, which has a house edge of 1.46 to 2.32... Let it Ride, which has a house edge of 3.51... And  Caribbean stud poker, which has a house edge of a whopping 5.22 percent.

Roulette and Slot Machines are also popular. The house edge for Roulette is about 5.26 percent, and the edge for slot machines varies greatly… it can be anywhere from 5.50 for five dollar machines, to 15.20 for nickel machines. The house advantage definitely plays a roll in how big your “bank roll” will be when you leave the casino, so make sure you play smart!
