Easiest Game To Win

[queen of hearts]

I know that in Las Vegas there are a whole lot of different games for a person to choose from. Though I was just wondering what game is proably the easiest to win.

I know each games has different odds of winning and so on, but I am just curious to know which on has the best chances of someone winning who doesnt have any practice at playing.

This kind of information could come in handy to all those who are just going to Las Vegas for the first time such as myself as soon as possible.

If I am correct most if not all table games, the odds are more in favor for the house to win rather than a player. Though there are alot more games in Vegas than just table games. Even table games there are chances of winning but I would like to know which games has the very best chances of some one just comming into a casino, sitting down and winning something.

Black Jack - Get a card with basic strategy on it (can get it from the casino usually) an you can cut the house advantage to <1%.

Slots - House advantage 15%

Keno - House advantage 35%(?) - it is the worst.


No matter what, the house always has the advantage and will win in the long run every time (except poker) so know when to quit!

Unfortunately, there are very few < 1% HA Blackjack games to be found anywhere, anymore. Since casinos have implemented 6:5 payouts for single deck games, the HA is raised to a "whopping" 1.55422% as opposed to 0.15945% if the game were played with a normal 3:2 Blackjack payout.

Your best bet is to play a 2 deck game (AKA: Double Deck) which is offered in Vegas. The only "problem" with this game is that since the HA is a super-low 0.45688%, casinos set the table limits at $25+ per hand. Always remember: Fewer decks = Lower HA.

Also, I'd stay away from the Blackjack games that aren't dealt from a normal shoe. Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like the shoes that are shuffled continuously.

Continuously shuffled shoe:



Also, if you want your money to last longer at a Blackjack table, try to find one that doesn't have an automatic shuffler. There's really no difference in the game at all, but if the dealer is shuffling by hand, you'll see less hands per hour than if they had an automatic shuffler.

I've played Blackjack for the most part of 16 years, but my goal for 2010 is to not play it any more. I want to concentrate solely on Poker. At least with Poker you have better control over the outcome as opposed to any casino table game or slot machine.

The Wizard of Odds has a great Blackjack calculator that you can play around with to see exactly what the HA is for different Blackjack games, depending on what rules the casino has in place: http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/ho...alculator.html

HAHAHAHAHAH!


Sometimes that is probably the better option!

I would also say that you can get good odds in Blackjack although in my opinion it's not a game for beginners or casino newbies, so stay away from it if you don't have know-how and experience. The house loves those Vegas tourists that want to try about every casino table game and leave their money there. I would recommend playing some slots games, just for fun, don't expect to win though.

To me, Roulette and Big 6 are two games to stay completely away from as the house has the biggest advantage in these 2 games.

1819, whats your take on this? Do you agree? And if not please explain why you dont so we have better guidelines to go by.

I think I would just have fun playing the slots machines

Lol vegasVirgin, I am with ya. Give me the slots ovewr anything else anyday of the week. Thats mostly because I don't have a dang clue as to how to play most of the other casino games lol. I've never really been interested in them.

I found that on the WIZARD of Odds which I have heard is one of the best as far as this sort of info goes. I won't even pretend to try and understand all of that lol!

But I do know that no matter what you play, the house is there to win. The house is there BECAUSE they win. Thats why you never take too much money to the casino with ya. Because the house will almost always end up with it!!!
