Worst Odds Casino Games

Online casino and land-based casinos make their money in two main ways. The first way is by offering games and side bets on core games that offer very bad odds to the players and attract mainly fun gamblers and casual players who are in for a fun time rather than winning and making money. The second way is by relaying on players making strategic mistakes when playing games that offer good odds to the players.

It is important to remember that in all casino games the house has an edge that over time ensures they are always in profit. However, there games that offer better odds to players so experienced players who follow good game strategy can beat the casino and make money playing casino games.

It is important to know which games offer the worst odds and avoid playing those games. Here is a list of our least favorite casino games that offer the worst possible odds to players:

The Big Six
The game of chance also known as Wheel of Fortune offers an house edge of 11% to 24% making the players' odds very low. In money terms when playing with the lowest house edge of 11% overall a player will lose $11 of every $100 they will wager.

Keno
The game of Keno is a fun and exciting game and many of the players playing it do so for the thrill rather than to win money. Those players do not care about the odds but maybe if they knew that the chance of winning when selecting 1 number is only 3 to 1 and the chance of winning the top prize when selecting 10 numbers is 8,911,702 to 1, they would think twice before playing this game.

Scratch Cards
Scratch cards have always been popular with fun gamblers and those seeking a quick thrill rather than a successful gambling session. In recent years they have advanced and nowadays players are offered a huge variety of scratch cards but the odds of winning are the same as always; just 1 in 3 cards will win.

Multi-coin Slots
the 3 reel old-school slots offer players the choice of how many coins to play. We recommend that players always play the maximum this is because the odds include the large jackpots and if players do not opt playing for them the payout percentage for those machines goes down dramatically and can sometimes be as low as 65%.
