Baccarat is where it's at. I see people losing 50k a hand when they play all the spots on a table.

Sounds like it's not where it's at

If you can play blackjack well, the odds are good. If you can count, even better. The same goes with poker, it's a game of skill, so if you are good you can win.

Craps is great game for good odds. Pass/Don't Pass bets with odds are sometimes the best bets on the floor.

Certain slots give good odds, but I don't trust the electronic slots, plus they are too damn seizure inducing for me.

Roulette odds =

I've never been in a Casino before, but for this Month the Seminole HardRock Casino in Hollywood, FL is giving a $50 gift card for you to spend there, $25 to use at the same day and the another $25 for the next sunday

I'm a dumb to play poker or whatever games, so I just played the pennys machines and I did 60 bucks from 25

I think was pretty good

poker rooms are where the fun is at. no house odds and if you play well and have skills you can rake it in

rakes and tips will cost you some of your winnings but you are playing with your money Vs other people and their money

Variance will get you sometimes but in the long run if you exploit the table and play solid poker you will make money

Many schools of thought on what level of game to play. I have found that there are good players and fish at every level.

1-2 blinds if you dont have a ton of money to spend but expect to get raised or called on every hand and bad beats to ruin your day

2-5 or 3-6 the mix gets better but you are still at a low level and many joksters will chase any kind of draw to the river

5-10 or 10-20 and up the field get a little more serious with professional players and grinders of many levels at the tables. this is where you need to be to make serious cash.

what ever the buyin minimum is you need to have 3-5 buy-ins in your pocket to reload if necessary.

as always, gamble with what you can afford to lose. Nobody should be in a casino to build up money to cover bills or rent etc.


My brick and mortar casino winnings is in the many of thousands over the years. 90% of which is in poker.

Slots are fun but you have to play max bets at all times to make good gains, no matter if it is a penny machine or a hundo

Roullette is fun but a loser for the most part for me. I dont play with enough money to make this profitable for me

Black jack is probably the best odds for you playing against the house. But you will want to have solid knowledge on hitting and staying and hope the rest of your table has at least some knowledge as well.

Casinos are fun

I went one time, I played slots, I had 200 bucks in my pocket. Played the dollar machine, on my 2nd pull I hit for 200 bucks. Walked out of there with $396 right after that. That was 2 weeks ago
