Everyone knows
that the odds are tipped in the favour of the casino, that’s why casinos exist
at all. Whether you play the slots, blackjack or spin the wheel, the casino has
to make a profit and, the only way a casino can make a profit, is for the punters
to lose. Even the people with full-proof plans will lose out on gambling
eventually and, those who cheat will get caught, but you can improve your odds
of winning at a casino, if you know some their tricks. Let’s take a look at how casinos make sure
they win with these ten secrets that the casinos don’t want you to know.
1. Playing Keno is like donating money
Playing keno,
which is little like bingo, is fun and it’s easy, but you might as well just hand
over your cash straight way to the casino. The chances of winning any real
money playing Keno are about as good as winning the lottery and in some casinos
the odds are stacked in the casinos favour by as much as 50%.
2. Casinos are designed to be like a maze
Have you
ever got lost in a casino? Well, that’s a deliberate ploy, because casinos are designed
to be confusing to find your way around. The casino owners want you to get lost
on the way the bathroom because then you might be tempted to spend some more
money.
3. Slot machine jackpots are very rare
The pay-outs
on slot machines in casinos can be huge, with one pay-out from a Vegas slot
being nearly $40m, but the odds against that happening are astronomical. Although the mega slot pay-outs hit the news, the
average total daily amount that a Vegas slot machine will pay out is just over
$100.
4. There are no clocks in a casino
It’s not uncommon
to find people stumbling out of a casino and being surprised to find that sun
has come up. You won’t see any windows or clocks in a casino because they want
you to lose track of time and stay longer than you intended.
5. The wheel of fortune is a waste of time
You’ll
usually see the big wheel of fortune type game as you first walk through the
door of a casino. That’s so they can grab some quick cash from you before go
any further. The house has a massive advantage
on the wheel; your odds of just doubling your money on a $1 bet are only 44%.
6. Shiny lights everywhere
Casinos deliberately
place shiny lights all over the place to make you think that everyone is having
fun and winning. They create an atmosphere that makes you think the casino is
the place where fortunes are made on a regular basis.
7. You will see plenty of near misses at a casino
Casinos love
the games like blackjack and the slots, because there are so many near-wins for
people to see. The more near misses that you see, the more you will be tempted to
join in with the gamble and try your luck too.
8. You will get better odds gambling online
Your odds of
winning are actually far better when you use online gambling sites than they
are at a casino. Online gambling may not so much fun, but the chances of
winning are plus a couple of percentage points or so.
9. The casino games with the lowest house
edge
Some of the games
with the lowest house edge are usually mini-baccarat, blackjack, bingo and live
poker. These games have a house edge of less than three percent.
10. You can’t beat the casino
The only way
that can at a casino is, when you do win, stop gambling and walk away. The profit
margin for the casino owners is huge and the industry in the US alone makes an
annual income of around $150 billion. That’s a lot of people who thought they
could beat the system and failed. Have fun at a casino and you may even get lucky,
but don’t into a casino expecting to walk away rich.
