Generally speaking, no, there cannot be a negative house edge in casino games. The house edge is the mathematical advantage that the casino has over the players, and it is usually expressed as a percentage. This means that the casino will always have an edge over the players, and the only way to reduce the house edge is by playing games with a lower house edge. Some games like blackjack and video poker have a house edge of less than one percent, but in general, the house edge can never be negative.
 
Although they are extremely uncommon, negative house edge casino games do exist. When the house edge is negative, the player has the upper hand and is predicted to prevail over time. Video poker is one instance of a game with a negative house edge.
