When you get to Vegas you will be confronted with a barrage of slots machines, craps tables, poker tables roulette wheels and many more things you can gamble on. What you do have remember that every single game you have a slight disadvantage to the house. Sometimes this is small other times it is massive therefore you need to be aware of this.
Slot machines.
Some of these can be very loose but the house advantage will still be about 2%. On the tighter ones the house advantage will be 20% or greater. As you can see on these machines you will loose you bankroll very quickly if you are not experienced slot players. This is where the casinos make the majority of their money as they are already set to pay at a predetermined point . This is more luck than what I call proper gambling . Slots are never “ready to drop” it is all determined on a random number generator at the time that you press the button. So with this said it can payout big all day or not pay for weeks. Pressing the button really fast will not give you more of a chance of winning it just looks like you are winning more because you have spun the wheels more times. I have friends that always brag about the amount that they win but they never say how much it cost them to get that amount. Even on big payout loose machines 97%for example the house still has a 3% advantage over you this means that if you put in $1 the machine will pay anything up to 97 cents – that’s 3 cents gone before you start and it is anything up to 97 cents so can be 10 for instance it is not always 97%. My theory on slots is if you do play and have a win walk away with the money.
Tables.
The house advantage on these is much less than the slot machines therefore I would suggest playing these more. The house advantage on craps is about 1.4% and even less with odds bets less than 1%, this is why this game is so popular. If you just play blackjack with a layman’s type of play the house advantage is about 1.5% this is .5% better than the loosest slot machine. Roulette tables have a larger house advantage of 5.3% this is where I always say don’t play them, they are totally random and you can win, but anything I have ever won one these has always gone back on and I have lost . But whenever I have gone to Las Vegas roulette tables are always full. Do not assume that every player on the card tables are masters at the game. Most of the time they are just visitors to Vegas for the week and are very inexperienced. You have as much of a chance as them of winning. Another tip would be to play the tables in the early hours as most of the people will be more tired and you have more of a chance of winning,.
So in summary play the card tables not the slots or if you do play slots look for the signs advertising very loose slots and have a wander about trying to spy the loosest ones.
