Progressive side wagers: Games like Caribbean Stud Poker often contain one of these. You usually place a wager (a dollar is the usual value) to try to win a bonus jackpot that could reach $25,000. Although huge jackpots like this are particularly tempting, they are also particularly difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, picture this- you wager twenty hands and put the side wager every time. That is twenty dollars you could have used towards the actual game bet in place of a sucker wager. Imagine what you could have been able to win at a wager with greater odds utilizing that twenty dollars.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This takes the complete casino edge from 2percent with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you bet on it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a typo. Because of the large set of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to gamble on Keno very much. A few times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
