Over the last year tables games have taken a rather grand proportion of the gaming revenue within Nevada as slot machines appear to be becoming less favorable with customers of casinos.

The state’s 10 top table games based on the revenue generated are (in descending order):

1. Baccarat
2. Blackjack
3. Craps
4. Roulette
5. Three card poker
6. Pai Gow poker
7. Mini Baccarat
8. Let it Ride
9. Pai Gow (tiles)
10. Carribean Stud

According to Frank Scoblete, a gaming expert, amongst these games there are just a handful that give players the odds that are best in casino gambling.

Scoblete recently made a list of bets that give best results in casino gaming (in Casino Player magazine) and stated that it was that craps table gave the best odds with their pass/don’t pass and come/don’t come bets.

He continued that blackjack is at No.2 is the game to choose when played with the proper parameters:  3-2 for a natural 21, dealer stands on soft 17, double down on any two cards and doubling after a split.

Baccarat, another game that is usually linked to big money wins, is next on Scoblete’s list with ‘bank’ and ‘player’ bets offering good value – although ‘tie’ is the most highly recommended.

A lot of casinos also offer mini baccarat, not as intimidating as Baccarat itself and features a smaller minimum bet.

On the craps table it is recommended to place the 6 or 8 or to lay the 4 or 10 because of the, almost, break-even odds they give.

With three-card poker, one of the games at the other end of the spectrum, you get 2 games in one. The first game has a 2% house edge with ante and wager whilst the second game Pair Plus has a 2.3% edge.

Casinos in Nevada have held about 26% on three-card poker through out the last 12 months.

The not so serious games, ‘carnival’ games, in Nevada casinos include; Let it Ride, Pai Gow and Caribbean Stud. Whilst they are fun they actually offer house edges of mid 20% too.

Tiles game Pai Gow has a house edge of about 50% less than other games in the low-end, though there are not many players who want to invest the time needed to learn some of the complicated methods to rank the ‘hands’ needed.

It is with Asian gamblers that the game has become most popular.
