What casino game has the best odds?

[paperstacks1980]

I need help figuring out what casino game has the best odds....

[Beyond the Bets]

They're all tied for the worst. Why?

[patswin]

they are all negative, best advice is too find the smallest house edge game and play that.
Full pay jacks or better pays back 99.95% if you can find it anywhere

That will help.

Craps... playing the pass line is a good one. Enjoyable game to be a part of (when winning, of course).

[RickRude]

Playing just the pass line on craps is so boring.

[SkyBlues42]

Agreed. But the question was about house odds. I'm not a fan of any casino games really. I'll test my luck with Roulette once in a while, though.

[RickRude]

Oh, I thought you meant it was enjoyable to only bet pass line. Yes for odds it's probably the best. I don't play any casino games because I think I'll make money. I just go in assuming I'm losing my bankroll regardless. Just a fun activity.

You're best bet in the long run is poker depending on your skill level. When you're betting against other players and not the casino you stand a much better chance of winning.

Basic strategy blackjack isn't bad depending on the rules. Depends on # of decks, if dealer hits/stands on soft 17, can double after split, double any two cards, re-split aces, etc. All of those things factor in the house edge.

If you find a full pay Deuces Wild video poker machine and play max bet, perfect mathematical strategy, you actually have an edge over the house over an infinite number of hands. Obviously, you'll experience wins/losses in a limited amount of playing time.

As for some others with lowest house edge, baccarat betting on the banker and Pai Gow Poker.

Pai Gow's one of the better ones to play in a casino if you just want to sit and relax for free drinks. You push with the dealer a lot and the waitresses come around to the tables more than they frequent the video poker machines. You can play a long session with minimal gains/losses. So, if you're not going to attempt to make money, rather enjoy some R&R and drink free, I'd recommend Pai Gow.

Haha odds of that seem like they'd be a billion to 1. I've lost probably 8 or 10 in a row, but never close to that money.

Only casino game where you can gain an edge, IMO, is poker. And that's because you're not playing against the casino. It's also dangerous though, especially if you're playing no limit against people who know what they're doing.

[gynecologist]

I may of pushed once or twice but yes 17 in a row, without winning once. never seen a fucking dealer get so money 20s. LOL Im still pissed about it.
