    5dimes casino what are the odds???

    Any math geniuses out there?

    I have now gone 15 straight pai gow hands without a winner. (not to mention I am on a 12 day losing streak in the casino)

    10 losses and 5 ties.

    Yes I know I am a sucker for playing the casino, but I swear the software has changed in the last year or so. Never before has the rigging been so blatant. I play a little casino pretty much everyday but this about does it. Not even fun anymore.

    Chances of no player wins in 15 hands is 0.63% (156 to 1).

    Probability of winning any single hand is 28.6% (assuming correct play).

    That cant be accurate. This is Pai Gow, not blackjack.

    Its not that low.

    Tons of pushes in Pai Gow. Trust me. Ive played Pai Gow for many years.

    My figures apply to Pai Gow Poker (not tiles) and are accurate.

    Expected results would be

    Player win 28.61%
    Push 41.49%
    Banker Win 29.90%

    If player win occurs 28.61% of the time, how do you figure 15 straight winless occurring =0.63%

    seems off

    Stop playing in the casino. It isn't rigged, but it is designed to take your money in the long-term (and in the short term in your situation)

    All on line csino's are geared that way. You are playhing against a machine, unlike playhing at a live table, where anything can happen. That machine can be set to pay out as little as 25% or as much as 125%. Also remember that gaming, like anyting else, is streaky.

    Probability of not winning 1 hand = 71.39% (100 - 28.61)
    Probability of not winning 15 consecutive hands is 71.39% to the power 15 = 0.638%

    Agreed. I logged in just to watch their "live" blackjack once.

    I kept a running total and in about 5 minutes the entire table lost over 2k. Of course, if you don't play a hand they kick you out but you can just re-enter at another table.

    People should just go and watch for about 10 minutes and see how people just consistently lose their ass.

    Of course these unregulated off shore casinos are rigged. I love the Sportsbook but all online casinos are trash.

    I was bored one night so I took $50 to the Bovada blackjack tables. I lost 9 hands in a row. The dealer got blackjack 5 times and of course they got blackjack the final hand when I pushed in my final $10.

    It's almost like they don't even try to make it look legit. They just straight up deal themselves a 20 or blackjack every hand.

    It can be bad, but its not as bad as you make it sound.

    I hammered 5dimes casino for 4k 2 years ago martingaling online blackjack. Of course when they paid it out to me and I went back in there, it appeared as though someone had literally flipped a switch.

    I agree, online casinos are a crock of s**t.
    Playing 5 dimes live baccarat and was down $75 playing $5 hands.
    I bump my bet up to $10 and won a few in a row.
    Mysteriously the table is "being closed down for maintence"
    I was still in the hole for $50
    Im sure if i was up $75 there was no way they were closing that table down until they got their money back and more

    The online casino will take your money anyway they know how
