Every single game on a casino floor is meticulously designed with a built-in mathematical advantage for the operator.

Understanding this concept is the most important lesson any gambler can ever learn before placing a bet.

The Math Behind the Advantage

Casinos make their money by paying out slightly less than the true mathematical probability of a win.

If you bet on a single number in roulette, you have a 1 in 37 chance of winning, but the payout is only 35 to 1.

• This slight discrepancy in payouts guarantees that the casino retains a small percentage of all money wagered
• A 2% house edge means the casino expects to keep two dollars out of every one hundred dollars bet
• Over millions of spins, this tiny percentage translates into billions of dollars in guaranteed revenue

RTP: The Player's Perspective

RTP and house edge are two sides of the exact same mathematical coin.

An RTP of 95% indicates that the machine is programmed to pay back $95 for every $100 wagered over its lifetime.

You cannot defeat the math, but by choosing games with a low edge, you can play much longer for the same price.
