The best odds that you are going to find is with playing basic strategy with blackjack. Gives the smallest house edge. Get yourself a strategy card and do exactly what it says no matter what.
Defnitely Blackjack. If you take a few hours each day for about three weeks and learn how to count cards, you will actually have odds over the casino (Up to 5%, depending on the count). I've payed for half of my college education this way and as much money as the casino makes, it's time for a payback for the average citizen.
Regardless of counting cards, just practice playing perfect basic strategy and the house will have a mere .5% advantage over you. It all depends on the house rules as they vary from casino to casino.
They say blackjack has the best odds,
~Another theoretical number is the return percentage or pay out percentage. This is how much the blackjack player's get to keep of their own bets. Simply put, the return percentage is the percentage of the bet that would be returned to the players if every blackjack play decision were statistically correct. In other words, a 95% payout rate means 100 minus 95, or a 5% house edge. For the blackjack player, this means a loss of 5% of their blackjack bets. You keep 95% of the money you walk into the casino with, and the casino keeps 5%.
The game of blackjack offers the best odds of winning for the players, but only if you are aware of the variables that affect the odds. The variables are cumulative. In other words, the standard house edge plus all the rules in your favor minus all the rules against you = the real house edge for that blackjack table.~
I agree that blackjack is probably the fairest game, that is not totally controlled by the house(casino). but, after years and years of playing slot machines, i would put the slots at no. 2. not many people would agree, but there is a knowledge aquired, that can help you win at the slots. my wife plays the tables and i play the slots. everyone has a possible method, that will make a big payoff at the slots. here is my method: take only a certain amount to lose. learn to recoginize when to play. if you had one time, when everything you touched, turned to gold, remember what you did just before gambling and look for those events again. never stay at one machine, if after 5 plays, you do not receive a payback, then go to another machine. remember the machine numbers. if one machine is paying, tomorrow the casino may change the face of the machine, but the internal workings normally stay the same. walk, walk, walk. play numerous machines. you never know which one is about to hit the jackpot, which comes around every 300,000 pulls. i look for a bright-colored machine that attracts my attention. after a while, some people just can feel which slot machine they should play. slot machines go through cycles. cycles of winning and cycles of losing. look and recognize the signs. if a machine pauses, its changing cycles and you never know which cycle will be next. if a person has played a machine for a long time and has lost all their money, sit down and you play the same machine. again, remember the cycles. slot machines are neither hot or cold, three computer chips control the display screen and what is displayed there, next. you have got to outsmart the computer! never play the same number of coins, each time. mix it up. play one, then three, then two. confusing the slots computer is where it is at, period. if using a casino card, push it in and take it out. again, you are attempting to confuse the slots computer. take the casino card, use it a while, then take it out. again, confusing the computer. these little tricks do work. remember, man made the slot computer, you just have to get inside his head and unscramble his program. good luck!
