the traditional slots with 3 reels=horrible. in my 6 years of playing about 3 hrs a week i am guessing i would stick a 20 in and never win enough to come above 40 no matter if i played for 6 hrs or 20 minutes. WASTE OF MONEY. I wont touch them anymore except the "wheel of fortune" because its fun to spin the wheel but since its a traditional 3 reel slot,.it sucks.

I love the penny machines, much better than traditional slots. Many bonus games to play, most of which give you the hands on opportunity to pick your own bonus in way of many things such as picking 3 matching cases out of 30. My winnings on those are small,...up to 200 usually, but fun, and i tend to win enough to keep playing for a while on them. The most i have won is 990 on a penny machine,...you must make sure you play ALL the lines,........for example most machines have 10-100 lines, 1 penny bet per line is going to ad up fast, $1-5 dollar bet per spin usually. Dont play unless you play all the lines because the line criss cross to make winning combos,...the last thing you want is to be 1 line off from a jackpot,.......of which i have been,,.....didnt want to stick an extra buck in so i bet what was left,....missed out on 10k.

I stay away from multi deck blackjack,.......single deck is where its at.

Pai Gow is fun but it takes a long time to learn to play, you "push" A LOT, i'd say 8 out of 10 times so your money seems to last, .......make sure you put money on the envy bonus,.....meaning if someone else at the table wins something decent like a full house or above,....you get paid too.

Roulette I just dont like,...odds are about as even as you can come if you play just colors instead of numbers but it takes toooo long to wait for that ball to stop rolling.

3 card poker,........money goes FAST!! REALLY FAST! but if you win, its a good amount,. i got a straight flush(3 same suit and consecutive order) with a $10 bet and won like 400 off it.

good luck

Blackjack. I've gone through 20-hour sessions at a table and won ~$2K. I've also lost big a few times as well. I'll indulge in a little roulette now and then and I do well at Hold 'em as well. Haven't gambled in over a year though (I suppose that's a good thing).

Sillyboy is right about the slots. You pretty much have to always play the max bet or the max lines in order to get paid well if your lucky. I used to play slots when I was younger and missed a few jackpots because I would bet 1 or 2 quarters instead of the 3 or a dollar. The only games I find myself playing now when I go is usually Spanish 21 there are a lot more ways to make cash but can be lost just as quickly. 3 card poker is the other game that I usually play, one of the last times I played was with 20 bucks and left with 300.

I use a "system". Everybody has one.

Mine was on the mechanical roulette tables with digital chip betting. I basically figured out how to beat the game and as a result won consistently across 3 casinos with the same game.
