Always Bet On Black!

The only game in the casino where the odds are in your favour is Texas Hold'em. I believe only the River Rock and the Plaza of Nations casinos have hold'em tables.

I wouldn't bother playing slot machines. Those have some of the worst odds in the casino. I don't know why people bother blowing so much money on a game they usually can't win.

Craps gives you decent odds of winning. Pretty fun game too. I dunno if they even have it at any casino here though. I never paid attention. When I go to the casino it's usually to play hold'em.

Blackjack seems to be the game that most people play. I'd never jump in on a fresh set of cards, nor a set that I haven't seen which cards have been played already. Hop in about 1/3 of the way though a set, and make sure to keep an idea of which cards have been played in your head. If you don't play the odds, you'll lose a lot of money in a hurry.

Kat, don't play texas holdem unless you're only throwing a few bucks down.....poker's hard to win at in casinos unless you're really good, since poker sharks go there hoping for people like you and me (i'm no poker pro, either :p).

Blackjack, slots, roulette. Wooooo.

My first tip of advice is, Leave your Bank card/Visa at home! I made the mistake of bringing it once (on my 19th birthday none the less) and well after some drinks i realized i had spent around 300$. So now whenever i go i just bring 100$ for gambling and the rest i leave at home.

Im really bias towards holdem (cause thats where i win my money lol)

Sorry rustybob but if you are talking about best odds...would be the pass line in craps.

poker is actually the only game in the casino were u dont play the house > u play other people with the casino acting as a host for the game. they take a small rake off every pot but u dont actually play the casino >> right there it bumbs ur odds up> just be patient pick your sucker and soak the cash outta him/her

[anewlife]

So? The odds are still not in your favour...

Probabilistic evaluation baby, that's what it's all about.

just remember that Joe Pesci is a bad mama jama

I'd say the only tip would be to bring only the cash that you plan on spending, and make sure that the money is already dead to you and you're cool with losing it. If you do that then you'll probably have a pretty fun time!

Also, dont' be afraid to ask the dealers for help. They'll tell you how to play any game the "right" way (the way that minimizes the casino take).

Have fun battling gamblor!
