Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You generally lay a wager ($1 is the usual value) to attempt to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although huge jackpots like these are very alluring, they’re also incredibly complicated to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and make the side bet each time. That’s $20 you could have used towards the actual game wager in place of a sucker wager. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with greater odds employing that 20 dollars.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two 0’s on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only one. This shifts the overall casino edge from 2.63percent with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5% in American. The individual number bet has just a one in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino advantage can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to choose, it is not advisable to wager on Keno to often. A couple of times for enjoyment, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
