Table games: the clearest maths in the casino
Roulette, blackjack and baccarat in their digital form are run by a random number generator instead of a dealer. They are quicker than live tables, you play them at your own pace, and they share the greatest strength of the table family: the house edge can be calculated from the rules. No configuration hides it. If you want to understand exactly what you are paying for entertainment, start here. We do not list the table games currently in Naya’s lobby; the lobby shows them, along with their limits.
Roulette: count the zeros
A roulette bet pays as if the zero did not exist. A straight number pays 35 to 1, while the true odds on a single-zero wheel are 36 to 1. That gap is the edge: 1 in 37, or 2.70% on a European or French wheel. On an American wheel with a double zero the gap is 2 in 38, or 5.26%. Some single-zero variants return half of an even-money stake when zero lands, which lowers the edge on those bets further. Before you choose a roulette game, read its rules screen for the number of zeros and any such rule.
Blackjack: rules change the price
Blackjack is the one table game where your decisions matter, and the rules matter as much. The table below shows the variants that move the house edge most, in general terms.
| Rule | Better for the player | Worse for the player |
|---|---|---|
| Blackjack payout | 3 to 2 | 6 to 5 |
| Dealer on soft 17 | Stands | Hits |
| Doubling | On any two cards | Only on certain totals |
| Number of decks | Fewer | More |
| Surrender | Allowed | Not allowed |
A 6 to 5 payout on blackjack is the single most expensive rule to accept. With good rules and basic strategy, blackjack has one of the lowest house edges in the casino; with poor rules and guesswork, it becomes an ordinary game.
Baccarat: three bets, one commission
Baccarat leaves you no decisions after the bet: the hands follow fixed drawing rules. You choose Player, Banker or Tie. Because the drawing rules favour the Banker hand slightly, Banker wins usually carry a commission, which keeps the bet in the house’s favour while still making it marginally the cheaper of the two main bets. The Tie pays a lot and wins rarely, which gives it a much higher edge. Some variants remove the commission and change one specific payout instead; the rules screen shows which version you have.
RNG tables versus live tables
The maths of an RNG table and a live table with the same rules is the same. The difference is pace and atmosphere: a digital table deals as fast as you click, a live table runs on the dealer’s schedule. Faster play means more decisions per hour and therefore more total stake per hour, which spends a budget faster at the same edge. See the live casino guide for the streamed versions and game shows.
Using bonus funds on table games
Bonus terms often count table games at a small fraction towards wagering or exclude them, precisely because their edge is low and their outcomes are steady. Some terms also forbid betting on both sides of an even-money roulette bet. Read the contribution table before you plan to clear a bonus at a table; the bonus terms guide lists the clauses to look for.
