I found myself at the casino the other day wondering which casino game I would have the best odds in.  Everyone knows that in every casino game, the house always wins, and casino games always have the odds against you.  It’s one of the riskiest ways to try to earn money.

Overall Blackjack has some of the best odds in the casino, along with craps.  However all those old people sitting on the slot machines have the worst odds (besides roulette). You’ll also notice that the higher the amount of the slots, the better chance you have at winning. Putting your money in the 5 cent slots is actually riskier than the $100 slots. Still, people prefer the 5 cent slots simply because it takes less money to play, where as with blackjack, you’re throwing down $10 per hand often.

However, if you find yourself at the casino, here is a list of some games with the best odds to play with the % being the houses advantage.
