Seniors Guide for BEST and WORST Casino Games - Ranked By Odds

In this video, Curtis Hayes ranks the casino floor from the worst bet to the best, by the one number that matters more than luck or any system, the house edge: why keno, the big money wheel, and the slots sit at the bottom taking a nickel to nearly a third of every dollar; why the carnival poker games and the common double-zero roulette wheel sit in the painful middle; and how, climbing toward the top, Pai Gow, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, craps on the pass line with free odds, baccarat on the banker, full-pay video poker, and finally blackjack played with a strategy card at a three-to-two table give up less than a penny on the dollar. The games that look easiest and most comfortable are almost always the worst bets, and the single best bet in the building costs a careful player under half a cent on the dollar. Not about telling you to gamble, just which chair costs you the least if you do.
