Blackjack and craps usually offer the best odds for the player. In blackjack games played with basic strategy, a player's edge can reach 0.5% or more, while craps has a low house advantage of about 1.4%. Baccarat’s “banker” bet has an advantage of just over 1% (and is slightly lower in some jurisdictions), and has been considered a game of skill in some countries, including the United Kingdom. If the pay table is favorable, versions of video poker such as 9/6 Jacks or Better can also be highly profitable. But players should always check the details: seemingly small differences in rules or pay tables can have a major impact on house edge. Emphasize fairness by making sure your players have access to the most mathematically transparent games, where skill matters. They will thank you for it.

And what about those looking for the best legal cheating opportunities? Blackjack, if you know to count cards and hit basic strategy, has a theoretical edge of only 0.5%. Craps, if you know how to bet on pass/come bets and take advantage of true odds, has a house edge of 1% or lower. Video poker, played on full-pay machines by skilled players, gets close to even money. Roulette, if you avoid the American version and stick to the European wheel, gives you a reasonable shot. All of these games are popular in the community and withstand scrutiny.

There’s no such thing as cheat-free in actual casinos, but Blackjack and Video Poker have the best odds when you play correctly. Craps is also fair when you bet on the pass/don’t pass line. Progressive Jackpot slots are hot, but unfair because of how they pay out. Players prefer games like poker or blackjack that involve skill because they seem more honest and less about luck. Study those odds and rules.

For the lowest house advantage, shout: blackjack (if you play basic strategy), craps (pass/come bets), baccarat (the banker bet), and video poker (9-6 Jacks or Better) if you’re sure of the pay table. All these games are often cited as “fair” because of the low house advantage, and all can be played without too much risk of being cheated at most casinos, provided that you play them correctly.

The best choice would be blackjack – not that you can influence the outcome, but with some basic training in strategy you can do better than most players. Craps is also a good bet, particularly if you never do anything other than bet on the pass line and take the odds. The big winner, however, is the video poker machine. Find one with the correct payout ratio (typically 9/6 Jacks or Better) and the odds are almost reasonable. Gamblers always claim that any of these types of machines is a “fair game. ”
