When walking into a casino, what is that slim hope that everyone hangs on to? It's the dream that we will walk out of the casino not forty dollars lighter than when we walked in, but wealthy beyond our wildest dreams, wealthy in a way that only TV millionaires like Thurston Howe III and Scrooge McDuck were wealthy. However, dreams won't get anyone as far as a solid strategy, and the best strategy is to know what to avoid. Here are a few of the games that have the highest odds for you to lose.
First, watch yourself on slots. Only play the newest games, the ones that are still being tested for popularity. Those have a decent return, but if you go to certain slit machines, the house can have a 20% - 25% advantage. You're not getting rich there.
Keno may be a fun little game to try out here and there, and if you're just playing for fun, go ahead and have a blast. If you're playing to win money, however, just walk the other way. The house advantage on Keno is astronomical, and is really not worth it for a regular gambler.
Blackjack can be dangerous, but only if you don't know what you're doing. If you research first, understand the intricacies of the game and present yourself as such, you'll find the opportunity to do well. If you go up to the table blindly, acting like you?re the best to ever grace the table, you're soon going to walk off disheartened with the dealers laughter ringing in your ears. |
