Sort and filter the real house edge of every common casino game — lowest to highest. The "best" games still take a cut of every bet; this table shows exactly how much. Tap any EV Lab game to play it free and watch that edge work live.

The house edge is the share of every bet the casino expects to keep over time. A 1% edge means that for every 100 wagered, you lose 1 on average — not each bet, but as a long-run certainty. RTP (return to player) is just 100% minus the edge. A lower edge loses you money more slowly; it never wins for you. The only bet with zero expected loss is the one you don't make — which is why EV Lab is free and has no cash-out.
FAQ
Which casino game has the best odds?
Craps with full odds (~0.37%), blackjack with basic strategy (~0.5%) and 9/6 video poker (~0.46%) have the lowest house edges. For a simple even-money bet, baccarat Banker (1.06%) is the best. All are still negative over time.
Which game is worst?
Casino keno (~27%) and money-wheel bets are the worst; the baccarat Tie (14.36%) is the worst common side bet; slots typically run 4-10%.
Does a low house edge mean I'll win?
No. It only means you lose more slowly. Over enough bets, every house edge above 0% grinds your bankroll down — variance just decides how bumpy the ride is.
