Typical swing: about two sessions in three end between a loss of $92.08 and a win of $86.08. One session can land far outside that range.
Expected cost is an average over many sessions. Short sessions are dominated by luck, and no strategy can beat the house edge in the long run.

FAQ
What does the Live Table Cost Calculator do?
It estimates what a live session costs on average. You pick a game, enter your bet per round and how long you play, and it multiplies bet, rounds and the game's house edge. It also shows a typical swing around that figure, so you can see how far a real session can wander. All formulas are visible on the page.
Where do the rounds-per-hour numbers come from?
They are assumptions, not measurements: a starting pace for each game type that you can change to match how you actually play. Faster tables mean more bets per hour and a higher hourly cost, which is why the pace is editable.
Is the result a prediction of what I will lose?
No. The house edge is an average over a very large number of rounds. In a single session you can win or lose much more than the estimate. Use the number to compare games and set a budget, not to forecast a night.
How does the Game Finder choose?
You answer three short questions about budget, pace and appetite for variance, and it points to the live game types that fit best. It is a starting point for browsing, not a recommendation to gamble. Try the finder →
Is live roulette better value on a European wheel?
With one zero the house edge is 2.70 percent, against 5.26 percent on a wheel with a double zero. If you have the choice, the European wheel costs roughly half as much for the same bets. Roulette guide →
