Casino Game RTP & House Edge

Every casino game has a built-in mathematical edge for the house — but it varies enormously. Blackjack with basic strategy returns about 99.5% of what you wager over time; a typical slot returns ~96%; American roulette just 94.74%. Knowing the RTP and house edge helps you pick games that stretch your bankroll further.

RTP vs house edge

They are two sides of the same coin: house edge = 100% − RTP. A 97.3% RTP (European roulette) means a 2.7% house edge. Volatility is separate — it describes how swingy results are, not the long-run return. For the fairest games, favour a low house edge and check the specific rules in play.
