get on the roulette table, put $20 down on black or red. if you lose, put down $40 on the same color. each time that you lose put double what you lost down and youll make your money back x2 whatever you lost. just be prepared to drop some cheese on it and dont be a pansy

Every game you play against the house is weighed in favor of the house. What the guy above me talked about is a certain betting system–the Martingale System. It allows you to slowly build up money, yet gives you a huge risk for losing all of it. Sure, you may make some money in the short run, but in the long run you are GUARANTEED to lose all of your money. At some point, you will hit a bad run of 7 or so losses in a row where you completely lose everything.

I would say poker, only if you are good enough to make money off other players. Since your casino doesn’t have it, the next best one would be blackjack. But ONLY if you can learn how to count cards. And even then, the rate of return is very small, and the time it takes to learn how to count cards proficiently is very substantial.

“The *best chances* of winning the *most* money…”

That’s like asking “What’s the biggest house I can buy with the least amount of money?”

These two factors are at odds with each other. The game with the best chances tend to have small payouts. Games with big jackpots usually have a high edge against the player.

You won’t find a game with both a low house edge and a high jackpot.

Out of those games, it is definitely slot machines where you can win most money. but it is also the game where in you can lose a lot of money. So you should be careful in playing slot machines.
By the way, why limit yourself to the casino you live near? While there are many online casinos now?
http://sportsbook.com/casino is one of them. Recently, someone won $21K from just a bet of $.15 at one of their slot machines named Sunken Treasure… That’s so cool!

blackjack is statistically your best shot, while the house is still favored to win, your odds are better than any other game

Casinos provide number of games to players with different versions. You can win big or less amount of money from these games. Poker gives you maximum payout of what you put in. Casino wins based on those who don’t understand the most effective hand rules. From here http://www.jokeronlinecasino.com/poker.html you may know more about Poker.

blackjack and progressive video poker, if play correctly.

To be clear – You DO know that these casinos were built to TAKE your money, not to give you any, right???

Make sure you always keep that thought in your head. The minute you get the notion that casinos are places you can go to MAKE money is the moment your life is in trouble.

With that said, I agree with the person that said Blackjack is probably the best of all the games you mentioned. If you learn perfect basic strategy, you’ll have a fighting chance to not lose too much in the long run.

(Someone actually said “slot machines”??? Come on, man!)

Vegas Matt on Oct 24, 2010 Said:

It’s funny how all the know-nothings chime in with their condescending BS without really reading the question.

The best chance for the average player to win a lot of money in a casinos is at a slot machine with a huge jackpot. The house edge is irrelevant, there simply are no other games where you can win a million dollars if there aren’t any huge poker tournaments at your casino.

And FYI, slot machines like Megabucks and Wheel of Fortune (and other progressives) often give the player a statistical advantage. As the progressive jackpots grows, the house edge lowers, and will often tip in the players favor. For the Megabucks machine, the magic number is around $16 million, which it surpassed quite often.

This is not an endorsement of slot machines or a recommendation to play them, it is simply the facts. If you want to win a little bit of money at a game with the lowest house edge, other games are certainly better. But if you want to get rich, the ONLY choices are slot machines with huge payouts.
