The casino always comes out ahead in the long run, but the house edge on certain games - craps, blackjack, or baccarat, for example - can actually be so slight that if you play them right, your. The other most basic bet in craps is the come bet. This is just the pass line bet again, but it treats one of the rolls subsequent to the original come out roll as a new come out roll. It has the same 1.41% house edge as the pass line bet. The only other bet you need to concern yourself with is the free odds bet.

'regular player'. If this regular player learns basic strategy and plays at a decent place, he'll have a lower house edge... although, he may end up gambling more due to the speed of the game. The question is a little vague, there are grey areas as far as calculating house edge, amount of loss returned in comps, etc.You'll lose the majority of the time that you play either. It all really depends, there isn't a 'basic strategy' for craps. Question is way too vague. You can have fun playing either.

In what way vague? How would you more narrow down the question?

We have a fair idea of the house edge involved and game pace when flat-betting table minimum and playing basic strategy at blackjack.
How are you betting at craps?It's like saying, which car will get better mileage, the Ford, or the Mazda?
First off, I'm really trying to figure out what you're really asking about. Like, are you planning to only play one game, and you need help picking one? Are you having an argument with a friend? Clarify your question, which might help people answer.
Blackjack and Craps are two games that can be played very differently. You can vary your bets. In craps, you can choose several different bets. Which bets you choose and how much you bet on each will change your variance and expected value. And therefore, it will change your expectation of how much you'll win or lose in a session. Also, your ability to make correct plays in blackjack(basic strategy) could change the house edge up to 10%(if you're horrible to begin with).
You'd have to communicate how you intend to play either game, with more specificity, or less vagueness.

Odds In Craps Explained

The answer will be slightly different depending on the rules of each game in the casino you play. If craps allow 10x or more odds and you strictly play pass or don't pass and dc or come bets with max odds, you'll be slightly better off than playing a h17 6 deck games. If you're going to place other bets on a craps table or the casino only allows double odds or 3-5x, probably better off playing basic in blackjack so long as bj pays 3:2. Craps with high odds multiples will have much larger swings than flat betting blackjack, if you're going to play craps at 10x or more odds make sure you have the stomach and wallet for it.

Partially agree.
If they have a $5 min with 10x odds, and you like to have about $50 in action at a time, then of course, that's much better than betting $50 at a blackjack table. But chances are, if they have $5 craps then they'll have $5 or $10 BJ. Small chance they have a $5 dice game but lowest min on BJ be $50.
Anyway, it really doesn't matter. Pick and play whichever game you like more. Or if you prefer, play a bit of each.

As a regular player of both games and not a counter, I am wondering which game you believe has a better payoff over the long haul?

The primary question is which player is having more fun, because that is ALWAYS the primary question. Its your money and you are the one selecting the House Edge, Odds, Playing Strategy, etc.
If you play craps by always betting Big Red you are at 16point something disadvantage any probably a fool to be doing it, but if that is how you enjoy throwing your money away, so be it.
If you play blackjack and can't add you probably won't make much money but dealers will call your hand if you ask them to. Its up to your style of play and enjoyment.
An average intelligent player equally familiar with the intricacies and strategies of each game is going to comped a smidgen more at BlackJack than at Craps. That right there tells you the casino values your play more at blackjack, but not by all that much.
So when all the free drinks are factored in, it comes down to the original question. Which one do you enjoy more because the math difference between the two games ain't worth the shoe leather used up walking from one to the other.

Many people will be visiting a casino this summer, whether on a trip to Vegas, on a cruise ship, or just at a local casino during a 'staycation.'

But before you go, you may want to know which games give you the best chance of winning.

So we went behind the scene at two casinos, and spoke with the game managers, to find out which games give you an edge.

Table Games Your Best Bet

Jay Bean, a Caesar's floor manager, agreed to sit down with us and talk about the games with the best odds.

He said many people don't realize that table games have much better odds than slots. They are intimidated by thoughts of card sharks taking their money, with images of an intense Texas Hold 'Em tournament in their minds, and so they stick with the safe games: the slots.

But they are doing themselves a disservice, he said.

Bean's advice? After you've spent some time on the slot machines, move on to the Blackjack table, and start by just observing.

1. Blackjack

Blackjack has the best odds of winning, with a house edge of just 1 percent in most casinos, Bean said.

Plus, you are playing against only the dealer, not hooded poker champions.

'Blackjack is one of our easiest games to play,' Bean said. 'You're just looking for a number that beats the dealer's number without going over 21.'

If you're a novice, Bean said to sit down during a less busy time, such as the afternoon, and the dealer will walk you through the game.

But the same is not true with poker: You should practice the game with your friends first, at home, Bean said, until you are comfortable with it. Bean said novices are best off passing on the poker tables, where yes, the competition can be tough.

2. Craps

So from the Blackjack table, he suggests moving on to the dice game Craps, the game with the second best odds, also nearly 50-50.

The Craps table can be a bit intimidating for the beginner with all the boxes on the table, Bean admitted. But it's really not tough, and it has one of your best chances of winning. In the end, all you are really doing is betting on a dice roll.

3. Roulette

Bean said your next stop should be the Roulette wheel. It's simple, and pays fairly well.

'So you bet on your favorite numbers,' Bean said. 'The dealer spins, and if your number comes in you win.'

If you stick to betting on just Reds or Blacks, you have nearly a 50-50 chance of walking away a winner. If it lands on red when you choose red, you will double your bet, Bean explained.

While it may seem you have an even chance of winning by simply choosing a color, there is one catch that gives the house its edge: the extra green 0 and 00 position on the wheel. It's on all American roulette wheels.

Or, if you feel lucky, play just one number. It's hard to win, but if you do it pays out 36 to 1.

Craps Or Blackjack Better Odds Poker

Worst Odds

Your worst odds? The casinos, understandably, did not want to talk about games with poor odds.

So we turned to Forbes Magazine, which in a report about Best Bets at the Casino, said two popular games -- the Wheel of Fortune and the ever-popular slot machines -- have the lowest odds of winning, with a house edge of 10 percent or more.

The Experts Agree

Professor of Analytics Michael Magazine has crunched the numbers, and agreed that blackjack is the best way to go home with money in your pockets. He said if you take a little time to learn the game, you have the best odds of winning.

'You are somewhere between 44 percent to 48 percent in every single hand of winning,' he said, noting that no other casino game gives you odds that good.

But Magazine cautioned that he's not promoting gambling, because he said even games with the best odds still favor the house.

'Play it long enough and you will lose. In the long term the house doesn't lose,' Magazine said.

If You Love The Slots....

Finally, if you really enjoy playing the slots, here is some good information to know, from state casino reports we examined.

With slots, the more money you put in per bet, the higher your chance of winning. If you put the max in a penny machine, which is usually around 50 cents, you have much better odds than if you put in 2 cents.

In addition, penny slots have the lowest odds, with $1 and $5 slots paying much better.

Always gamble responsibly, and don't waste your money.
