2. "progressive slots mean you playing against the rest of their network" In response to Reply # 0
Not just people in that casino, or against others in that chain of properties...
EVERYONE that's playing on that specific progressive network (progressives are all centrally controlled by whomever the vendor is for that particular game is i.e WMS, Bally, Konami, etc...). You play against everyone that plays it globally.

Craps: The most fun to play but one of the harder games to figure out. Lots of different bets you can make. You don't have to play on every dice roll and you don't have to leave the table unless someone else wants to jump in. Probably the best place to score some free drinks too.
BlackJack: My personal favorite. You need to know the rules before jumping in on this one. If you got 2 other people at the table that knows how to fucking play you can beat the dealer a lot. If you are in Vegas, go to old las vegas strip and hit up the old casinos. They got cheap opening bets and you learn how to play.
Roulette: Man fuck this game. Best odds my ass. I think this might be the most rigged piece of shit on the whole casino floor. Its simple as hell and that is how they get you.
Slots: Hey slots are what I call "extra cash" games. If you didn't blow all your money by now you should take whatever you got left from losing and play slots with it. I don't mean go to the ATM and take out more money. I mean take your cab fare or your buffet money and put it in the slots. You might get lucky! I won $250 bucks on slots. Most money I ever won in a casino.
Poker: I've been playing poker online and on some apps but never in real life. This game is versus other people as opposed to the casino itself. If you got people who are good at your table you are fucked. If you are playing with a bunch of newbies and you know how to play you will clean up.
19. "slots have horrible odds no matter what" In response to Reply # 0
roulette has some of the worst odds for a table game craps has some of the best
there is no game where the casino doesn't have an advantage (unless it is a game where you are strictly playing against the other participants)
just pick an amount you're willing to lose, find a game you enjoy, and hope that the variance that occurs over small samples ends up making you a winner
21. "I have a personal strategy for maximizing my time at the table" In response to Reply # 0 Fri Jan-02-15 09:07 AM by Cocobrotha2
I'm not trying to break the bank... I'm just trying to maximize my fun while minimizing my losses.
So I generally stick to craps and blackjack and I play with 10 times the table minimum. If I bet conservatively, I can usually string things out for an hour or two, which is a reasonable amount for me to risk, particularly if the table minimums are relatively low.
I also set an upper limit of double my money. I've occasionally hit my goal but I've rarely actually walked away with double my money for a bunch of reasons but I think you need to have discipline when you're up.
Some people say you need to really push your luck when you're winning but I think if you can set a modest goal that you can hit consistently, you're more likely to come out ahead.
The more you play, the more likely you'll lose so you need something to tell yourself to get up and out of the casino with your profit.
