Keno is a game where you pick one or more numbers from a grid of 80. The house chooses 20 numbers, and you’re paid off according to how many matches you get. This is usually the worst game in most casinos percentage-wise — often in the range of 20% – 40% house edge.
The house return onslot gamesvaries from 3% to 20%. It is largely impossible to tell just by looking at what a given machine pays. In general, the higher the denomination you play, the better the odds. Read our game reviews for more information about slots house return.
The house edge at roulette depends on how many zeroes are on the wheel and also the local rules. When a wheel has both a zero and double zero, the house edge is 5.26%. When the wheel has just a single zero, the house has a 2.7% edge. In France, if you bet on 18 of the outcomes (i.e. red or black or high or low or odd or even) and the ball ends up on zero, your bet is “en prison,” reducing the odds against you to 1.35%.
Most of the best return the same amount on a roulette wheel so there is no skill involved in choosing which way to bet. The skill arises in finding the game with the best rules. You don’t want to be playing a game with a 5.26% edge when nearby the “same” game can be found with a 1.35% edge.)
Baccarat has many formats and often many side bets. The basic game requires you to bet on ‘player’ (1.2% house edge) or ‘banker’ (1% house edge.) That’s it. The rules about whether or not extra cards are taken are a little complicated, but the dealer does all that. After a while, you’ll learn these rules. The rules are good to know in case the dealer does make a mistake, but that is pretty rare. The trickiest part of the game is simply avoiding the other bets—i.e., betting a tie (14% house edge) or a pair (10% or 11% house edge depending on the number of decks.)
There are someBaccarattips, but Baccaratgameis an exception to the rule that the more difficult a game is to play, the worse the odds.
Although the craps table is filled with many opportunities to make exotic bets, if you limit yourself to PASS or COME bets and take full ‘odds,’ it’s pretty simple. (You can bet the DON’T side of these same bets, for slightlybetter odds. But if you’re new to the game, it’s better to go with the flow and bet the way most others are betting.) The basic house edge is 1.4% on these bets. After one roll, you can take odds (which has a 0% house edge). Percentage-wise, taking odds lowers the odds against you. The higher the odds that are allowed, the better the odds are for the player.
The exotic bets on a craps table generally offer terrible odds — often in the 10% to 17% range. Avoid these. They are fun when they hit, but the chances of winning are slim.
Basic blackjack strategyconsists of using some basic rules to guide your decisions based on your cards and the dealer’s up card. Different numbers of decks and different sets of rules have different basic strategies.
As you can see from the example chart below, there are hundreds of combinations for you to memorize — for each basic strategy. (This particular chart is based on 4-8 decks where the dealer stands on soft 17. The chart for another number of decks or hitting on soft 17 would be a little different.)
But if you do have theblackjack chartmemorized the game itself can vary between 0.2% and 2%, depending on the rules of the game.
Although often found in casinos, you are not playing against the casino when you play poker. You are playing against the other players and the house takes a small percentage of the pots (the rake) as their fee for providing the game.
If you’re sufficiently better than the other players and can overcome the house rake, you can make a pretty nice living playing poker. That’s good news. The bad news is that it’s not easy to be that muchbetter than other players. Some very smart players have invested thousands of hours studying and practising tobecome skilled.
If you sit down at the same table as them, good luck! They can easily beat you when they get dealt good cards, and they also can often beat you when they get bad cards.
