Percentage of winning sessions versus losing sessions

1. Total balance of sessions

In 2025, the average Australian player wins 42-45% of gaming sessions, with the remaining 55-58% ending in a loss. This indicator has remained stable over the past 3 years and reflects a natural imbalance in favor of the casino (house edge).

2. Comparison by game type

Slots: about 38% of sessions are winning. The main reason is the high dispersion and rarity of large payments.
Live casino (roulette, blackjack, baccarat): 45-50% of winning sessions, as much depends on the strategy and level of betting.
Poker: About 47% of sessions are profitable, but varies greatly from player skill to tournament format.
Online casino sports betting: Approximately 44% of winning bets, however winning streaks are shorter than poker or board games.

3. Average win and loss per session

Losing session: The average minus is $120- $180.
Winning session: average plus - $150- $220.
In the long term, the player loses more often, but the winnings look more tangible and motivate to continue the game.

4. Impact of rate level

At low rates ($1- $5), the probability of a winning session is slightly higher - up to 47%, but the profit amounts are small.
With average bets ($10- $50), the share of winning sessions drops to 42-44%.
For high rollers ($100 + per bet), only about 35-38% of sessions are winning, but the profit in case of luck is many times higher.

5. Behavioral observations

Players most often stop playing after 2-3 consecutive winning sessions, fixing a profit.
With a series of losses, most continue the game longer, increasing bets (the effect of "catching up").
Casinos actively use bonuses and freespins to mitigate the perception of losing sessions.

6. Dynamics in 2025

The share of winning sessions remained almost unchanged compared to 2024.
A slight increase (+ 2%) was noted in live games due to the popularity of low-risk strategies.
In slots, the frequency of winning sessions decreased by 1-2% due to an increase in the popularity of progressive jackpots (high variance).

Conclusion

In 2025, the winning session rate in Australia is about 42-45%, confirming the long-term advantage of casinos. At the same time, players win less often than they lose, but average winnings are higher than average losses, which maintains motivation to continue the game. The greatest chance of a successful session remains in live casino and poker, while slots remain the riskiest but potentially most profitable segment.
