Casino may refer to:
Gambling is a popular pastime at many casinos. Patrons place bets with money or credit, and in some games, such as poker, players compete against each other rather than the house. Most games have a mathematically determined advantage for the casino, known as the house edge. The house usually makes a profit by taking a commission on player winnings, or “rake.” Some games also have a random number generator (RNG) to ensure the results are truly random. Casinos often offer loyalty programs that reward players with free items or comps. These may include meals, hotel rooms, tickets to special events, or other benefits. Some casinos also feature a variety of live shows and other entertainment to enhance the experience for visitors.
