Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly have one of these. You normally lay a bet (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a side jackpot that can be upwards of $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are particularly appealing, they’re also particularly complicated to win. You might have to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you play 20 hands and make the side wager every time. That is 20 dollars you should have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you could have been able to win at a wager with more favorable odds using that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just 1. This shifts the overall house edge from 2percent with a single zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The individual number bet has only a one in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red wagers alternately which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you gamble on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a typo. Due to the huge set of numbers you must select, it isn’t recommended to play Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, maybe. But do not waste all your cash on it or you will quickly find yourself broke.
