House edge is the percentage of total wagers a casino expects to keep for itself over the long run. It isn't luck, cheating, or player behavior — it's built into the rules of the game, in the gap between the true probability and the payout you receive. Once you understand this number, every promise of a 'winning system' in a casino falls apart on its own.

European roulette has 37 pockets, but a single number pays 35:1. If you bet 1₪ on all 37 numbers, you'd pay 37₪ and get back 36₪. The loss is 1₪ out of 37 — that's 2.70%.
That's it: house edge is exactly the gap between true odds and payout. Every house game works on the same principle.
These are two sides of the same coin: an RTP of 96% = a house edge of 4%. Slot providers publish RTP because it sounds generous; tables speak in house edge. Both are averages over millions of spins, not a promise for your session.
In poker the casino doesn't play against you — it only collects rake. Your opponent is another player, so there's no fixed number pulling you toward a loss: a player better than the table is profitable even after the fee. That's the entire difference between poker and casino, and exactly why it pays to study pot odds and EV.
