Do different casino games require different mouse sensitivity levels?
Would one benefit from changing the mouse sensitivity when playing casino-type games such as poker, blackjack, or roulette? Is this just a question of individual taste? Or does anyone actually know how to configure for different games?

Well, mouse sensitivity is really a comfort thing. With things like poker or black jack, a quick bet is probably good, but if you play for quite awhile, the sensitivity should not be so high that it makes your hand tire. Roulette is more about aiming accurately, so it doesn't matter much.
Or, if you want, you can adjust the sensitivity separately for different games – maybe lower it for some that are more relaxed, and crank it up for faster-paced titles. Ultimately, the best sensitivity setting is the one that works for you.
For those who use mice, try tinkering with the game’s in-game sensitivity options or even changing the “dots per inch” (DPI) via your mouse software. There is no universal DPI setting that works for everyone – just keep tweaking until it feels right.
Casino games are usually very simple, so any mouse should work fine. Some people prefer to choose a higher sensitivity when playing poker or other card games that involve lots of clicking. For those trying to place bets quickly in a game like roulette, a lower sensitivity may be easier. But if you’re not sure, just leave the default setting and adjust as you go. Everyone plays differently.
Poker, blackjack, roulette, all of the games are not mouse driven. So sensitivity does not really apply. But, if you like to play with a mouse there may be some mouse driven games out there, like some live dealer games have some mini-games… but I doubt it. It is really up to the player.
To be fair, “mouse sensitivity” is more of a preference thing. In a poker game, you click little buttons, look at odds – low sensitivity will suffice. But if you are playing something fast like roulette or one-armed bandits with rapid spins, then high sensitivity is a good idea. I don’t see this as being a competitive advantage: either you like to hit things slowly and accurately, or quickly and more carelessly. Try several settings and choose what relaxes you. Strategy gives you the advantage, not your cursor.
