Progressive side wagers: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly contain one of these. You usually lay a bet (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Though huge jackpots like these are very tempting, they are also very difficult to succeed. You would need to hit a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this wager. Also, think about this- you wager twenty hands and lay the side bet every time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game wager instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that twenty dollars.
Individual number bets in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete house edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a whopping 5percent in American. The one number bet has just a 1 in thirty eight chance of succeeding, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red wagers instead which have a much lower house edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and regardless of how you wager on it, the house edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to choose, it isn’t recommended to play Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself broke.
