Help answer this question below.
I was reading recently in some magazine (Scientific American, maybe? I wish I could remember) that some video poker machines actually pay out 102% of what you put in, over a long enough period of time.
I'm planning a trip to Vegas soon. Which card games have the best odds?

How do you use a baccarat scorecard? Does it really work? Or, is it merely just trying to predict future results from past results?

Is there a good method to learn to count cards in your head (since using a notepad or other aid is cheating and will get you kicked out of the casino)?

In Reno, I certainly got an unexpected Royal Flush on one of these machines, but not the 102% payout of time!

I'm VERY doubtful. I've never heard of a casino giving an edge to the player over the long-term.

"some video poker machines actually pay out 102% of what you put in.
Very true, it's based on payout points though and you need to make sure to check that before playing. Video poker programming works similarly to slots, with a guaranteed payout percentage of slightly less than 100%. The more people playing machines tied to the same program, the better the odds for the individual, so find the best payouts AND the most crowded machines. Also, higher payout percentages are ALWAYS offered for higher bets, so betting $5 on a max $5 machine will pay a higher percentage than betting $1 on a $5 max machine, something a lot of people aren't aware of and the reason the casino still wins overall. Generally, throughout Vegas in most major hotels you can always find at least one video poker machines that pays out an average of 102% to those playing based on effective strategy. Casino wins based on those who don't understand the most effective hand rules.
