Games To Play |
There are two schools of thought on which are the best casino games
to play. The first suggests that you should only play the games with
the lowest house advantage to give yourself the best chance of winning.
The second suggests that you play the games that you like to play
regardless of the house edge and go for the biggest entertainment
value, after all fun is the name of the game. Rather than decide for
you we have listed the games with the lowest house edge and a range
of games where small bets can get big payoffs.

| Casino Games with the Lowest House Edge |
Blackjack
Depending on the individual game rules blackjack can have a house
edge as low as 0.2% when played with perfect basic strategy. Add card
counting in to the mix and blackjack can actually turn around into
a positive expectation game.
Jacks or Better Video
Poker (Full Pay)
Surprising as it may seem, some versions of video poker have house
advantages as low as 0.5%. This of course depends on the pay table
being full pay. Once you add in comps video poker can in effect have
no house advantage when played perfectly.
Baccarat
Banker Bet
The banker bet in a baccarat game house a low house edge of just over
1%. Be sure to avoid the tie bet which has a massive edge of over
14%
Craps
The pass / don't pass and come / don't come bets all have house advantages
of less then 1.5%. These are the best craps bets, most others should
be avoided such as the proposition bets which give the house an advantage
of up to 12%.
Double up (Video Poker and Slots)
Want a bet with no house edge at all? The double up option on video
poker and some video slots offers true odds with no house edge at
all. Of course you have to win something to double up but these best
can be quite profitable.

| Games Where Small Bets Get Big Payoffs |
As a general rule, the games where you can turn a small bet into a
big win offer the worst house advantage. Having said that you can
be lucky and hit the big one.
Slot Machines
While many casino players dislike slots because they tend to have
quite a low pay out percentage compared to other games they can be
highly entertaining to play. In addition to this there are very few
games where a small bet can turn into thousands or even millions of
dollars. If you are going to play slots be sure to check out a range
of machines before you start to play and find the ones that best suit
you.
Roulette
While roulette has a relatively high house edge you can get the most
out of your cash by seeking out tables with a single zero rather than
a double zero. The removal of one number cuts the house edge by around
3%. With pay offs of up to 35 to 1 for the straight bets you can win
a lot of money quickly if you guess well.
Keno
Much like the lottery, Keno gives you the chance at winning thousands
of times your wager. Of course the odds of winning big ar stacked
against you it does happen to luck players every day. If you like
keno we would suggest playing only with a percentage of your gambling
budget.
Progressive Games
Any game that has a jackpot that grows is known as a progressive.
The most common forms are slot machine although you will also find
progressive side bets on games such as caribbean stud poker, let it
ride and certain blackjack games. While the odds of winning the big
prize are small they are won so you just have to be in the right place
at the right time. If you are up on your starting bankroll have a
spin or two for the giant win.
