House edge comparison
Same money. 100x the cost.
Every casino game loses over the long run — but not at the same rate. From blackjack to the lottery, the gap is a hundredfold. Enter an amount and see what it costs on each.
The idea
The game you pick is the decision.
Blackjack with basic strategy takes about 0.5%. A state lottery takes 50%. None of them is in your favour — but the choice between them is the only lever that genuinely changes how much you lose.
Every game, side by side
Same money wagered, different cost. The choice matters.
