It is no secret that casinos are in the business of making money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From roulette to slots, every single game has an in-built advantage for the casino that is commonly referred to as the house edge<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The edge is usually around a few percentage points (differing from one game to another), guaranteeing that the casino will make money in the long-term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But poker is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether online or live, it isn\u2019t played against the house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You play against other players and win money from them, or they win money from you – but not from the casino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The casino has no vested interest in who wins or loses, and the dealer is only there to deal the cards and keep track of the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what\u2019s in it for the casino? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
