But behind the glitz is a business that operates much like any other-and the house always wins.<\/p>\n<p>The odds of each game have a built in advantage for the casino, which can be very small but over time adds up to a substantial amount of gross profit. This edge is known as the house edge or expected value and it is uniformly negative from the player&#8217;s perspective. This gives the casino the virtual assurance of making a profit and allows them to offer big bettors extravagant inducements such as free spectacular shows, transportation and elegant living quarters. In games such as poker where players compete against each other, the casino takes a commission from each pot called the rake. These fees offset the house edge in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Casino is an establishment for certain types of gambling.
