PS: How do I have to understand the house edge?
What do these 2% mean?
House edge is an edge of the house against the player.
Read : http://casinogambling.about.com/od/oddsandends/a/houseedge.htm etc. google it to get an idea about it.
For eg., for a 50% bet at a dice site, your win should be 2x. But it is 1.96x for a 2% edge.
Just subtract 2% from the theoretical win amount.
Thanks for your reply!
I do know what the house edge is, but I don't really understand how this is meant here (Minesweeper).
How can there be a house edge?
I mean, Minesweeper is a game, that you win, if you can think logically (except you hit a mine at your first move).
So, is this house edge for all people (smart and dump ones) or just in average?
