How to beat the house

Beating the house is a case of knowing your game and learning the perfect strategy. With table games and games of skill, the house edge is always smaller due to the fact that the casino is relying on fish(newer players) to lose more money.

Take a look below for a few quick tips when it comes to beating the house and getting more value for money when you play.

Advanced Slots – Multiple paylines are now offered by a variety of slots and many offer up to nine separate paylines. Just like when playing multiple blackjack or video poker, playing multiple paylines does not increase your chances of winning but serves to complicate things and make them more expensive.

When it comes to playing online slots, only ever play a single line and make sure your bet is enough to win the jackpot. Betting less than the maximum can mean winning only a percentage of the prize.

Advanced Blackjack - Progressive blackjack competitions are great but make sure to look for one with the lowest odds. This means searching for a game where the dealer stands on soft 17 and the odds are 3 to 2 as some casinos have the lesser odds of 6 to 5.

Using a good odds calculator you can check to see just how high the house edge is and if it creeps up above 5 percent then are plenty more competitive progressive blackjack competitions elsewhere.

Advanced Roulette – Roulette can have a lower house edge if you avoid betting on individual numbers. The best bets for jackpot are columns or dozens. Don’t play anything other than European roulette as the house edge on the American version is too high.

With just a little bit of learning it is possible to transform your video poker, roulette or blackjack game into something entirely more profitable so that you too can start competing for the longer term progressive jackpot.
