The House Advantage is determined by the mathematical expectation of the house winning in any given game. Casinos usually do better because of the fact that not a lot of players are skilled players, and the skilled players are the ones most likely to win.

These are some of the house advantages in some games that are offered at casinos.

Keno- Win percentage for the casino is 27.31%
Horse Race Book- This is right around 15.00 perctent.
Wheel of Fortune- This advantage if about 8.80 in the Houses favor.
Caribbean Stud- The House Advantage in this game is about 5.00%.
Let it Ride- This percentage in favor of the House is about 4.75%.
Roulette- This game has a House Advantage of about 4.50%.
Sports Pool- The Advantage for the House is about $.25%.
Pai Gow Poker- The Advantage here is about 4.00%.
Baccarat- Has a 2.85% House Advantage.
Craps- Has about a 2.80 House Advantage.
Blackjack- The House Advantage here is about 2.75%.
Mini-Baccarat- About a 2.20% House Advantage on this game.
Bingo- Has about a 1.75% House Advantage.

These percentages are not written in rock of course, and experienced players can have a good Advantage, at least a better Advantage than their less experienced counterparts.

I'm not much into the sports pool thing, but I can play bingo and it's one of the lowest with the house advantage.

If a person is tired of walking around and is getting low on their funds for the trip in Vegas, I think bingo would be a good place to play.
Perhaps make new friends and get a snack to eat and refreshments while daubbing cards. :)
