House Edge - CasinoOnline.co.uk

In basic terms, house edge is the "edge" or advantage a casino has over the player. On all casino games the house has an advantage, so it's not a case of avoiding the edge, but learning to play alongside it and exploit it. With our guide to house edge, you should find all the information you need to get to grips with this problematic subject and get you started on your quest to beat the edge.

A quick search online brings up thousands, if not more, of websites dedicated to house edge. However, these sites are not recommended for beginners. Often, the writers will have no idea what they are talking about and instead will babble about figures they don't understand, or a player looking to learn about house edge will experience information overload and give up learning. Well, this won't happen at CasinoOnline.co.uk, as we will give you just one simple sum to refer to and even apply it to our chosen casinos for you.

This sum is a simple matter of plus and division, with a whiff of percentages thrown in as well. If maths isn't your thing, then don't worry, as we have made it as simple as possible to understand. There is nothing worse than reading about house edge and feeling like you are back at school, listening to someone spurt out the times table.

House Edge Example

House edge + payout percentage = 100%

If the house edge and payout percentage of a casino always total in at 100%, then all that is needed to do is find out the payout percentage and take it away from 100. Well, if you are a player at one or all of our featured casinos (32Red, Betfair, Coral, Intercasino, Jackpot City, Ladbrokes, Littlewoods or Spin Palace) then we have provided all the figures for you. What's more, we'll do the maths for you as well.

Our figure for working out the house edge:

100 - payout percentage = house edge (in percentage)
