Zero House Edge is HERE! 💚
Profits no longer belong to the house. In designated games, 100% of the House Edge (HE) will be returned to users via Tacoback, returning gaming to its purest form of fairness. Share this

Why Does House Edge Exist?Having an edge over someone or something means you have some kind of upper hand or benefit. Like getting a head-start in a race or playing football with an extra player in your team. While doing either of those things would be unfair, casinos having a House Edge is not. The reason it’s not unfair is because casinos are a business. And just like salesmen take a commission or a selling site takes a fee, casinos have to have some kind of set-up that keeps them in business. However, House Edge doesn’t mean that players cannot win. Casinos certainly wouldn’t last long in business if they had no winners. Not only can players win, but they can win significant amounts too.
House Edge is not about making sure the casino wins all of the time. It’s about ensuring that over a long period of time, over a significant number of players, given normal play, the casinos have a built-in percentage advantage in their games that enable them to pay out when a player hits a big win and still stay in business.The House Edge can be minimal in some cases, but when you multiply that by thousands of games from thousands of players, it all adds up.
How Does House Edge Work?Let’s take casino games out of it for a moment and focus on a basic ‘heads or tails’ game. Everyone has played heads or tails at some point in their life with a coin. You throw up the coin, and call whether you think it will land with the ‘head’ or ‘tail’ facing upwards. It is a 50/50 chance because there are only two outcomes. This means that if you were betting against the casino and you call ‘heads’, 50% of the time you would win, and 50% of the time the casino would win on average.
Now, let’s say that there’s a slight chance that the coin could land on its edge. It’s highly unlikely, and the laws of physics might have something to say about it but, in theory, let’s imagine that a third outcome is introduced, however rare it could be. Suddenly, it’s no longer a 50/50 call as, although it's most likely that the coin lands on heads or tails, there’s also a slight chance it can land on the edge.
So now if you’re betting against the casino and you call ‘heads’, then your chance of winning drops from 50% to 48.65%. However, the casino would win whether it lands on tails or on the edge, therefore, statistically the casino’s chance of winning rises from 50% to 51.35%.
This means that the casino has a House Edge of 2.70% which is the difference between the casino’s chance of winning (51.35%) and your chance of winning (48.65%). This, in effect, is exactly how single-zero European Roulette works. Just substitute ‘heads’, ‘tails’ and ‘edge’ in the coin toss game for ‘red’, ‘black’ and the green ‘0’ in roulette.
If you bet on one specific colour in single zero roulette, you don’t have a 50% chance of winning, you have a 48.65% chance. Meanwhile, the casino has a 51.35% chance of winning because it could land on the alternative colour or the green ‘0’. European Roulette, therefore, comes with a House Edge of 2.70%. Which, incidentally, is the lowest House Edge you will find in roulette.
How To Calculate House EdgeCalculating House Edge might seem a little daunting, but in effect it’s just applying mathematics to each game. Let’s go back to the game of roulette for this example. In single zero roulette, there are 37 total possible outcomes on the board – Numbers 1 to 36, and the single 0. If you bet $1 on every single outcome, your total spend would be £37. The game pays 35-1 for exact numbers, so whatever number it lands on you will win $35 plus the $1 stake, meaning you will receive $36. The difference between your $37 spend and $36 return is $1 which is profit for the casino, even though you have bet on the winning number. You can then calculate the House Edge by taking the $1 profit, dividing it by the $37 risk and then multiplying it by 100.
- $1 (casino profit) /$37 (player risk) = 0.0270 x 100 = 2.70%
- You can then apply the same mathematics to ‘Double 0’ and ‘Triple 0’ roulette.
- $2 (casino profit) /$38 (player risk) = 0.0526 x 100 = 5.26%
- $3 (casino profit) / $39 (player risk) = 0.0769 x 100 = 7.69%
Of course, the easiest way to calculate House Edge is to find the RTP of a game. The RTP can then just be subtracted from 100 and whatever is left is the House Edge. This means you can work out the RTP and House Edge of any casino game by knowing just one of these figures.
What is all this about?Over the past months, we’ve heard the most authentic—and most piercing—voices from our community. We have been reflecting deeply: In the relentless pursuit of scale, did BC.GAME lose its soul? We hear your disappointment, and we are profoundly sorry. The BC that once took pride in innovation and understood players better than anyone else should never have become mediocre. Today, we choose to set aside our pride and return power to the community.
Today, we officially launch the
Zero Edge Project, a manifesto of our return to our roots:
🚀 10 Billion Platform Token Carnival: We are allocating a staggering 10 billion platform tokens with zero gimmicks. This is a direct reward to those of you who have stood by us.
💎 True Zero House Edge: Profits no longer belong to the house. In designated games, 100% of the House Edge (HE) will be returned to users via Tacoback, returning gaming to its purest form of fairness.
💰 Restructured Rewards: Every bet is no longer a mere cost; it is now a direct driver of the platform token’s ecosystem value.
But this is only the first step of our homecoming. Even more hardcore disruptions are on the horizon:
1️⃣ Bet Anything: We are introducing synthetic betting for Precious Metals, Crude Oil, Stocks, Global Futures, and RWAs (Real World Assets). Betting should not be limited to mere numbers. These assets will be strategically powered by Cwallet to ensure seamless integration.
2️⃣ All-Encompassing Prediction Markets: We are drastically lowering the barrier to entry. Whether it’s public affairs, sports, or social trends, your insights will now have a direct path to monetization.
3️⃣ Decentralized Next-Gen Platform: We are building a "Trustless Trust" architecture. By decentralizing our core protocols, we will deeply empower BC HODLers, ensuring that both rewards and governance truly belong to the community.
BC rose to prominence through innovation. Now, we are going to fight to take back the "most hardcore" BC that you once loved. 💚
