Every game, and what your money buys

How each game works, the decisions that matter, and how long a bankroll lasts at it. Every figure comes from the published house edge and the pace of the game, and both are printed on the page so you can check them.

    Live dealer blackjack

    Live dealer

    The same maths as software blackjack at half the pace, which makes a bankroll last twice as long.

    A real dealer, a real table, and the unhurried rhythm of a casino floor from your own sofa.

    Sports betting

    Sports betting

    Bet when you have a view and the price is right. The margin is in the odds, and shopping around cuts it.

    It is the only gambling where what you already know is worth money.

    Craps

    Table games

    The loudest table in the casino, and the line bets behind the noise are among the best in it.

    It is the most sociable game there is. The whole table wins together, and a hot roll is the best twenty minutes on the floor.

    • 1.41% edge
    • 40 an hour

    Blackjack

    Table games

    Learn one chart and your money goes further here than anywhere else on the site.

    The only game on the floor where what you decide changes the result, and the decisions are all written down.

    French roulette

    Table games

    The same wheel as European roulette with one rule that halves the price of the even-money bets.

    All the theatre of roulette at the best price the game comes in.

    • 1.35% edge
    • 50 an hour
    • 98.65% back

    The rare casino game where betting big early is the correct play, not the reckless one.

    Raising four times your ante before the flop, and getting paid when it holds up.

    Pai Gow Poker

    Table games

    The slowest, most sociable way to spend an evening on a small stake. Two hands in five are a push.

    Long sessions, constant conversation, and the pace to actually enjoy a drink between hands.

    • 2.84% edge
    • 30 an hour
    • 97.16% back
    59 hrs on €50

    Baccarat

    Table games

    Nothing to learn, nothing to get wrong, and one of the longest-running bankrolls in the building.

    The pace, the ritual, and the fact that a first-time player is on exactly level terms with a regular.

    • 1.06% edge
    • 80 an hour

    Casino Hold’em

    Table games

    Texas hold'em shape, no opponents to read, and a fair price if you call more than instinct tells you to.

    All the familiarity of hold'em without needing to out-think anyone at the table.

    • 2.16% edge

    European roulette

    Table games

    One wheel, thirty-seven pockets, and every bet on the layout priced identically. Pick whichever you enjoy.

    The spin. Nothing else in a casino makes a whole room go quiet for eight seconds.

    • 2.7% edge

    Let It Ride

    Table games

    The only game where the skill is taking money back off the table, and doing it well pays.

    Three bets out, two chances to pull them in, and a paytable that is all top end.

    • 3.51% edge

    Sic Bo

    Table games

    Three dice and the widest spread of prices in the casino. Stay on Small and Big and it plays well.

    Colour, speed, and a layout where a single roll can pay 180 to 1.

    • 2.78% edge

    Live game shows

    Live dealer

    Presented, noisy and genuinely entertaining, with bonus rounds that pay in multiples rather than increments.

    It is television you can bet on. The bonus rounds are the whole point and they deliver.

    • 4.5% edge

    Caribbean Stud

    Simple, sociable, and priced around the progressive jackpot everyone at the table is actually there for.

    American roulette

    Table games

    Identical to European roulette in every way except the price. If both are in the lobby, there is no argument.

    Familiarity, mostly. It is the wheel most people picture, and it plays exactly the way it looks.

    Bigger four-of-a-kind payouts, paid for out of the full house and flush rows. A fair trade if that is the game you want.

    Quads that actually pay. Four aces on a five-coin bet is a moment.
