Simple Choices on Casino Game Variants to
Find the Best Odds |
|
|
Players play casino games
online or in-house for the experience, for the thrill of the spin or because
theyre feeling lucky. Still, some seek to play the games that,
statistically speaking, are offering the best odds and best gameplay.
While there are standardised game selections at all land and digital
casinos, with table and machine games in abundance, there are variations of
most forms of games. With each different variation comes a new set of odds and
style of play required to get the optimal experience. So, which forms of the
most popular casino games offer the most advantageous mechanics?
Roulette is best played on the eastern shores of the

Having originated in France,
once roulette crossed the Atlantic, American gambling houses sought to increase
their edge, introducing the double, and sometimes the triple, zero pocket. As
such, playing roulette in America or
any form of American roulette rarely proves to be the bet
with the highest odds in a casino. The single-zero variants of the game offer a
far more favourable house edge, which, in turn, means better odds for the
player per spin.
In European roulette, the house edge is 2.7 per cent
due to there being just one pocket which could stifle any of the outside bets.
For American roulette, that house edge extends of 5.3 per cent as the outside
bets dont cover two of the wheels 38 pockets. However, French
roulette is even more favourable than European roulette if the game allows for
the En Prison or La Partage rule which hold bets or return some stake
when the zero lands.

With the rise of online slot
gaming, we now have a much better understanding of the mechanics that govern
the random number generators in the games. There are two main aspects that
dictate how the slot plays: RTP and volatility. The RTP percentage essentially
tells you how much of the money put in will be paid back out over time. A 94
per cent or greater RTP is preferred for most standard and modern video slots.
Volatility, sometimes known as variance, is the best indicator of the gameplay
experience.
Low volatility means that a game will, on average, pay out
more regularly but in smaller amounts, with high volatility games working
oppositely. These 'loose' slot games have proven to be among the most popular,
with the now-classic game of Starburst being the attractive face of many of the
no deposit offers on the
best online slot
sites. Other games that are also popular choices for no deposit bonuses
here are the medium volatility Eye of Horus and the high volatility Book of
Dead.

Of all of the
card games available in casinos, blackjack is the most famous. The star of
several movies, people know that the game can be defeated through the
deployment of key strategies. Using Basic Strategy, players can cut the house
edge in blackjack to 0.72 per cent, but by using the optimal strategy of
Pontoon, players can make the most of a house edge that ranges from 0.62 and
0.34 per cent.
Pontoon is
a card game variant of Spanish 21, hailing from Australia, in
which the dealer doesnt take a hole card until conventional play
concludes. Where blackjacks benefits to the house and player are all
quite minimal either way, Pontoons outcomes are quite one-sided, such as
a natural 21 paying 2/1 in pontoon as opposed to 3/2 in blackjack, while ties
result in a player loss instead of a push. However, when all balanced out and
while using optimal strategy, Pontoon is the more favourable version of 21 for
the player.
So, be sure to find the variants that not only offer you the
best odds but also offer you the style of play that you seek. |
