Casinos make money through a variety of means. Slot machines, blackjack and roulette are the most popular forms of gambling, but they all have one thing in common: the casino pays out a percentage of the money bet.
Some casinos also offer table games such as poker, bingo and craps. In table games, players compete against each other for prizes.
The casinos earn a percentage of the pot, minus any fees charged by the casino.
Overall, casinos earn an average of about 36% of every dollar bet. That’s not bad for a business that is built on taking your money and giving you nothing back in return but anticipation and hope.
