Progressive side wagers: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You generally place a bet (a dollar is the normal amt.) to try to win a bonus jackpot that can be upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars. Though big jackpots like this are extremely tempting, they are also incredibly difficult to succeed. You might have to hit a Royal Flush in order to hit this bet. Also, picture this- you wager 20 hands and put the side wager each time. That is twenty dollars you should have used towards the real game bet in place of a sucker wager. Just think about what you might have been able to win at a bet with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is particularly true for American Roulette. The reason? American Roulette has 2 zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has only 1. This shifts the complete house advantage from 2percent with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The single number bet has only a 1 in 38 chance of winning, which are very long odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets as a substitute which have a much smaller casino advantage.
Keno: Any variation of Keno, and regardless of how you play it, the house edge can be a huge 25%. Yes, that was not a error. Because of the large set of numbers you have to pick, it isn’t recommended to play Keno very much. A couple of times for fun, perhaps. But don’t waste all your money on it or you’ll immediately discover yourself bankrupt.
