Pick the Right Games to Play

Depending on what kind of experience you’re interested in, some games are better to play than others. Do you actually want to use skill to try to win some money? Or do you want to lounge around and sip on free cocktails? Do you want to feel the weight of casino chips in your hands? Or would you rather look at a machine showing off flashy effects and sounds?

If you’re looking to win, you should go for games that both require some degree of skill and won’t leave you naked and penniless too fast. The games with the best odds for players who actually know how to play (or less house edge) are:

• Blackjack (single deck, if available)
• Video Poker (I suggest “Double Bonus” or “Double Double Bonus”)
• Craps (some bets)
• Baccarat

If you’re just looking to have some fun with an easy-to-learn game, however, I recommend these:

• Slots "note: penny slots do not cost only one cent to play"
• Roulette European roulette has slightly better odds
• Keno

While playing slots, you can snag free cocktails from the waitresses roaming around (always tip). Roulette is the easiest of table games—just place your bet on what you think the little white ball will land on, like odd numbers, even numbers, red, black, or specific numbersYou’ve got almost hance when playing odds, evens, reds, and blacks, so it’s pretty relaxed. Lastly, keno is designed to be played while you have a cocktail, watch TV, smoke a cigarette, or play other games. You pick some numbers on a grid, place your bet, then wait to see if your numbers come up. Think of it as a very small lottery.
