Betfair Casino

Betfair is commonly known for its sports betting exchange, which has been
around since 1999, but now as well as betting against each other, punters
can now bet against the house with the addition of Betfair Casino.

Betfair Casino is the only online casino with a zero house edge lounge.
The casino itself is split into two distinct sections, the Zero Lounge and
the Main Lounge.

The Main Lounge has a collection of over 40 different games to play
including card games, pai gow poker, three card poker craps, slots and a
selection of other popular casino games. The format of the Main Lounge is
much the same as most other online casinos but what sets apart Betfair’s
Casino offering is the introduction of the Zero Lounge.

The Zero Lounge is a totally new and exciting concept where the player has
a selection of some of the most popular casino games to play but the games
have a 0% house edge. For those not sure what the house edge is, it’s
essentially how casinos make their money, each game has a percentage house
edge that, over time, fixes the odds in the casinos favour and pays out to
the casino – well they have to make money somehow!

The Betfair Casino Zero Lounge games have been modified to, providing the
correct strategy is used, have an even chance of the casino and the player
winning or a 100% chance of return over time.

The house edge has been removed by only altering the games slightly, in
favour of the player, so they still have the fun and excitement associated
with the original games.

The casino games available in the Zero Lounge are Blackjack, Roulette,
Baccarat and Jacks or Better Video Poker.

How Betfair Casino achieves the zero percent house edge on all the games
is as follows:

Blackjack pays out at odds of 2:1 for a natural (ace and face card) rather
that the normal 1.5:1 odds normally associated with blackjack games.

The Roulette wheel has no zero, evening up the odds. When a zero is
present, it changes the odds of the roulette table in the casinos favour.

Baccarat, a game with naturally the best odds for the player, has the
casinos commission fee reduced to 2.75% when betting on the dealers hand
evening up the players position. You will not find a lower Baccarat fee
than this anywhere else.

The Jacks or Better Video Poker machine pays out 22 percent more for a
Royal Flush. This is the highest paying machine of this type in the
World.

The only downside to the Zero Lounge is that the minimum bets are higher
and this tends to push players to the main lounge games, which there is
nothing at all wrong with, it’s just that they have the regular casino
edge.

Overall, Betfair have a good reputation and use the latest encryption
methods to handle your personal details, keeping them safe and secure.

Betfair Casino is also easy to navigate around the various games, is clean
and fresh looking and the casino doesn’t require downloading before play
so it’s quick and easy. They regularly run various different promotions
like holidays, etc, keeping players entertained.

Betfair Casino is definitely a class act and with the inclusion of the
Zero Lounge, makes it a fantastic choice for someone looking for somewhere
to play that offers a little extra than normal.
