Progressive side bets: Casino games like Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You typically place a bet ($1 is the usual amt.) to attempt to win a side jackpot that could reach twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are very alluring, they are also incredibly complicated to win. You might need to get a Royal Flush in order to win this bet. Also, think about this- you play twenty hands and lay the side wager each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the actual game wager instead of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds using that $20.
Individual number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This takes the overall casino edge from 2% with a single zero wheel to a whopping 5.26% in American. The one number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Try even-odd or black-red bets alternately which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and anyway you play it, the casino edge can be a whopping twenty-five percent. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you have to pick, it is not advisable to play Keno very much. A couple of times for entertainment, maybe. But do not spend all your cash on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
