Online Casino Games with the Lowest House Edge

By Kendall Jenkins on 2025-04-17 07:36:00

The saying “the house always wins” is probably something you've heard before. The community of educated and skilled gamers acknowledges this as an undisputable truth as well as those looking to break into the exciting world of casino games. The casino advantage exists everywhere and cannot be avoided, much like gravity.

Gamblers must, therefore, ask themselves what the best approach is to win at casinos when they face unfavorable odds. The best strategy to increase your odds at a casino is to select games that have minimal house advantages and master their gameplay, which is what this article is all about.

1. Blackjack

The house edge of blackjack can be reduced to 0.5% when you use the proper strategy. If you are an inexperienced player at blackjack, you can expect to face a house advantage that exceeds 2%.

Blackjack offers both RNG and live dealer versions similar to most other casino games. Different rule variations exist, and players need to adjust their strategies to improve their odds of winning. Players receive the same payouts whether they play blackjack at traditional or new sweepstakes casinos or traditional brick-and-mortar establishments. Blackjack pays 3:2 on top hands, while all other winning combinations are paid at 1:1, and insurance bets are paid at 2:1.

2. Baccarat

Baccarat, also called Punto Banco, is one of the oldest gambling games throughout history and happens to be James Bond’s favorite casino game. The number of players does not affect the number of cards dealt, which remains fixed at two. The two hands in Baccarat are labeled as “Player” and “Banker.”

The winning player is determined by whose score is nearest to nine since nine represents the maximum score. Three outcomes determine the game results: the player wins the playing, the banker wins the round, and there is a tie between them.

While the tie bet pays the most, the house edge is a crazy 14% at most casinos. However, the safe bet is to go with the player’s or the banker’s bets. The player’s bet has a favorable 1.25% house edge, while the average banker’s bet has a 1.05% house edge.

Thanks to the rise of real money online casinos, there are more no-commission live baccarat games, and the house edge for the banker’s bet is even lower. In many cases, the house advantage for the banker’s bet with a No-Commission bet is 0.50%.

3. French Roulette

As the most original version of the popular game, French Roulette maintains its presence in casinos throughout Europe and across the Atlantic Ocean. The roulette wheel used to produce winning numbers matches the one found in European Roulette.

The table design is different, yet it maintains the same betting options for both inside and outside. The game should showcase the same house advantage. Two specific rules distinguish French Roulette from other versions — namely, the la partage rule and the en prison rule.

These two rules ensure that players receive half of their stake whenever the ball lands on zero. When a player chooses non-even money bets, the house edge increases beyond 2.5%, while selecting even money bets reduces it to 1.35%.
