House Meaning – A Gambling Establishment Hosting Casino Games
The house is the online or land-based casino that’s hosting the game. The origin of this gambling term comes from the Italian word casa, meaning house.
So, the term house has been widely accepted when talking about casinos.
For example, when you say that you’re playing a game against the house, you’re wagering against the dealer or the casino and not the other players playing the same game. The most common example of this is blackjack.
