Odds on Casino Games

[MatiasGomez]

Good morning to all. I have a question. Do you think that casino games are arranged so that the player loses in the long run? It's a question that when you lose multiple times in impossible ways always resonates in my head. For example in online blackjack.

Hello. There's an old saying that the longer you play, the more you lose. I can profess to that. I am a sucker for roulette, craps and blackjack. I favor the table games because the machines are programmed. My sister, on the other hand, has been quite successful at the machines. The telltale, although I love them, is they do not go out of business, they appear to grow.
So, I feel that there are ways to really take your money in one, but a lot of times, my lengthy play and luck goes south.

The simple answer is yes.There would not be any casinos, if games were arranged so the casino lost in the long run.

my advice is not to play in the casino, because the casino will always win.

The casino is the same as the slot machines, the winning percentage is very small. I never play where it is possible for the owner of the gaming machine to regulate the winnings.

Casinos make money (Trump casinos were the exception). They do so by letting us play games that - in the LONG RUN - make money for the casino. Only one game, that I know of, has playing stats that COULD be a winning game for the player, and ONLY if the player makes every technically correct play over the long run, and that is Blackjack. That is a lot of PERFECT playing time to make a small profit. All slots are programmed to generate long-term profits for the casino and taxes for the local jurisdiction. A big win here and there just keeps us players coming back, hoping to hit the mega-jackpot.

I think you're right. I don't spend too much time on casino games. Usually to waste a little time. But I always end up with the same result. Losing in an impossible way. That's why the question was. Thanks for the comment.

I guess you're talking about Online games, if that's the case I'd say they can't be rigged since Casino rooms make their profit by dragging people in, thus they don't have a single reason to let their players suspect about the game being rigged, because that would end up driving them away.

It's just a odds matter. In American Roulette, in every 19 plays, in one the chips go to the house. So, as said above, in a luck only based game 99% of the players will lose in long term.

Black Jack percentage machine and different tables of this game are distributed in different ways. I have tried to play and play starting cards strictly according to the probability table and this does not give an advantage in the online game. Therefore, I do not play this game.
