Casino games rely on mathematical probabilities and expected value to ensure a house edge

This article delves into the mathematical underpinnings of casino games, explaining how probabilities and expected value (EV) create a built-in advantage for the house, known as the house edge. It uses European roulette as a primary example, detailing how the presence of a green zero pocket, in addition to red and black pockets, results in a negative EV for players and a 2.70% house edge. The piece also includes a simulation demonstrating how individual players may experience short-term wins, but the average bankroll declines over time due to this mathematical advantage. AI
