Progressive side wagers: Casino games such as Caribbean Stud Poker commonly offer one of these. You generally place a wager (a dollar is the usual amount) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Although big jackpots like this are very appealing, they’re also very complicated to succeed. You might need to hit a Royal Flush in order to win this wager. Also, think about this- you wager 20 hands and place the side wager each time. That is $20 you should have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker wager. Imagine what you might have been able to win at a wager with greater odds using that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is especially true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, as opposed to European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete house edge from twopercent with a single zero wheel to a huge five% in American. The single number wager has just a one in 38 chance of succeeding, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets alternately 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 25%. Yes, that isn’t a typo. Because of the large amount of numbers you have to pick, it’s not advisable to gamble on Keno to often. A few times for fun, maybe. But don’t spend all your money on it or you will immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
