    What casino game has the best odds to break even?

    Got a 10% casino bonus on a $500 depsoit.

    Must roll it over 20 times, and the max you can get from it is $500.

    Just made it to $500, playing though 2k. Need to roll 8k more. Whats the best way to do it, keeping in mind all i want to do is lose the least amount, coming out ahead would be worthless.

    baccarat and pai gow poker have the best player odds. keno and slots have the worst odds.

    best thing to do is play perfect strategy on blackjack for small amount/hand. you'll lose about 1/2% or $40 of the $8000.

    yes a lot of jacks or better games are 99.5% or so. but almost nobody plays perfectly and that's only with 5 coins and assuming you hit a normal amount of royal flushes. that would be a bad strategy for him because the variance is huge depending on whether or not you hit a royal flush.

    correct. your money lasts a long time (usually). house takes 5% commission on all winning hands. thats how they get their edge with so many pushes.

    BJ. Mike is correct. You'd give up .5% if played correctly. GL

    Make sure you check the fine print. Some places impose different rollover requirements based on what game you play.

    Blackjack has the lowest house edge and sharps get kicked out of Casinos for winning too much.

    Jacks or better video poker is the second best least house edge that gives gamblers a better advantage.

    I went into the casino for the first time yesterday.
    Tried my hand at roulette. It went something like this:

    $5 on black------------>RED
    $5 on black------------>RED
    $5 on black------------>RED
    $5 on black------------>RED
    $5 on black------------>RED
    $5 on black------------>RED
    $5 on red-------------->BLACK
    $5 on red-------------->BLACK
    $5 on red-------------->BLACK
    $1 on red-------------->RED
    $5 on red-------------->BLACK
    $5 on red-------------->BLACK
    $5 on red & black----->GREEN

    It was worth every point. Hilarious.

    BJ or baccarat. But why did you claim the 10% bonus? you only received $50 and now you have to roll thousands...

    Ha ha I like this.

    When I got a bonus that just needed one time rollover for horses at the place I play, I banned myself from casino so I just pick a decent favorite to place or show. Heck it covers any payout fee.

    Good luck friend.
