Bitcoin Casino Table Games Ranked by House Edge
Bitcoin casino table games ranked by house edge, from blackjack and baccarat to craps, roulette and sic bo, with what each one costs per 100 dollars wagered.
Every table game has a price, and it's printed in the rules whether anyone reads it or not. The house edge tells you what a game costs per dollar you put through it over the long run. Rank the tables by that one number and a few surprises fall out, like the cheapest bet in the building sitting right next to one of the dearest.
Here's that ranking for the table games you'll find at a bitcoin casino, from cheapest to most expensive, with what each one costs per $100 wagered. None of these numbers change because you're betting with crypto. They're the maths of the games themselves.
How to read a house edge
Say a game has a 1% edge. That's not a promise you'll lose 1% of your balance tonight. It's what the game keeps over thousands and thousands of bets, about a dollar for every $100 that goes across the table, and any one session can land miles away from it.
The useful way to use it is as a price tag. Two games that feel equally exciting can cost wildly different amounts to play for an hour, and the edge is how you tell them apart. The other half of the picture is speed, because a cheap game played very fast can still cost more per hour than a dearer one played slowly.
Table games ranked by house edge
Blackjack, if you know basic strategy: somewhere around 50 cents to $1 per $100. On a table that pays 3:2 it's the cheapest card game going, but only if you play the chart rather than your gut.
Video poker, played well: about $1 per $100. Our in-house Video Poker runs at 99% RTP, and the right hold decisions are what get you close to that.
Baccarat banker bet: $1.06 per $100. That's with the usual 5% commission on banker wins. The player bet is a touch dearer at $1.24.
French roulette's even-money bets, where la partage applies: $1.35 per $100. If the ball finds zero you get half your stake back, and that cuts the usual single-zero edge in half.
Craps pass line: $1.41 per $100. Don't pass is slightly cheaper at $1.36, if you don't mind betting against the table.
European roulette: $2.70 per $100 on any standard bet, because one green pocket isn't paid for.
Sic bo small or big: $2.78 per $100. A triple loses both, and that's the whole edge on these two bets.
American roulette: $5.26 per $100. The extra double zero nearly doubles the cost of the European game.
Baccarat tie at 8:1: about $14.36 per $100. One of the dearest bets on any table, sitting on the same layout as one of the cheapest.
Craps any seven: about $16.67 per $100. It pays 4:1 on something that happens one roll in six.
Two things stand out. The cheapest and the dearest bets are often on the same table, so the game you choose matters less than the bet you make on it. And the gap is enormous: the tie costs more than thirteen times as much as the banker bet next to it.
Blackjack: where your play changes the price
Most games here have a fixed edge for each bet. Blackjack's depends on your decisions. Play basic strategy on a 3:2 table and you're near the top of this list. Play by feel, take insurance and chase side bets, and the cost can climb well past European roulette.
The rules count too. A 6:5 table adds roughly 1.4 points on its own. Our bitcoin blackjack guide covers the payout, insurance and the side bets in more detail, and there are 675 games in the blackjack section.
Baccarat: back the banker, skip the tie
In baccarat you choose banker, player or tie. After that there's nothing left to decide, because the drawing rules are fixed. The banker wins slightly more often, which is why it carries a commission, and even after that it's the cheaper side. The tie pays 8:1 on something that happens far less often than that price suggests.
If you want to play baccarat for the long haul, the banker bet is the whole strategy. The baccarat section had 191 games when we counted.
Craps: the cheapest dice bet and the dearest
Craps looks intimidating, but the good bets are simple. The pass line costs $1.41 per $100, and once a point is set you can back it with an odds bet that pays at true odds, with no house edge at all on that part of your stake. The more of your money sits in odds rather than on the pass line, the lower your overall cost.
The centre of the table is where the price jumps. Proposition bets like any seven pay big-sounding amounts, and most of them carry edges above 10%. Live craps from Evolution, a first-person version and a Play'n GO game are all in our catalogue.
Roulette: pick the wheel before the bet
With roulette it's the wheel that sets the price, not the bet. A single-zero wheel charges $2.70 per $100 whatever you bet on. Add a second zero and nearly everything goes up to $5.26. A French table using la partage knocks the even-money bets down to $1.35. A straight-up number isn't dearer than red or black; it's the same price with far bigger swings.
Our roulette payouts and odds guide goes bet by bet, and the roulette section had 210 games on 16 September.
Sic bo: stay on small and big
Sic bo is three dice and a crowded layout. Small and big are the sensible bets at 2.78%, losing only to triples. The specific totals, doubles and triples pay tempting multiples, and most of them come with a much bigger edge that also varies from one game's paytable to the next, so read the paytable before you move off small and big. We carry 14 sic bo games.
Poker-style table games
Casino Hold'em, Three Card Poker and their relatives play against the house rather than other players. Their edge sits between the cheapest and dearest games on this list, and it depends on the paytable and on whether you follow the recommended strategy for when to call or fold. Bonus side bets are almost always the expensive part.
Because paytables differ between versions, the reliable figure is the one in each game's info panel rather than a number quoted for the game in general.
Live or RNG: same maths, different speed
When a live table and a digital one use the same rules, the edge per bet is the same. What changes is how many bets you make. A digital table can deal a hand as fast as you click, which means the same 1% edge costs you more per hour than it would at a live table moving at a dealer's pace.
That's worth knowing if you like a long session. Our live dealer bitcoin casino guide explains how live rounds run and what to check before you sit down, and the whole range sits in the table games section.
Common questions
Which table game has the lowest house edge?
If you'll learn a strategy chart, it's blackjack on a 3:2 table, with video poker close behind. If you won't, bet the banker at baccarat. It costs about a dollar per $100 and asks nothing of you.
What is the house edge on baccarat?
That depends on the box you bet. Banker is the cheap one, a little over 1% even after the commission. Player's a shade dearer, and the tie is around 14%, so that's the one to leave alone.
Is craps a good bet?
The pass line is, at 1.41%, and putting odds behind it makes it better still. Stay out of the middle of the table, though. That's where the proposition bets live, and they're priced for people who don't check.
Do bitcoin table games have different odds?
No. Paying in Bitcoin changes how you deposit and withdraw, not the rules or the payouts, and those are what set the edge.
