Progressive side bets: Games such as Caribbean Stud Poker regularly have one of these. You typically place a wager ($1 is the usual amount) to try to win a side jackpot that can reach $25,000. Though huge jackpots like this are very alluring, they are also particularly hard to win. You would need to get a Royal Flush in order to succeed on this bet. Also, imagine this- you wager twenty hands and put the side wager each time. That is $20 you could have used towards the real game bet instead of a sucker bet. Picture what you might have been able to win at a wager with better odds employing that twenty dollars.
Single number wagers in Roulette: This is completely true for American Roulette. Why? American Roulette has two zeroes on the wheel, unlike European Roulette, which has just one. This shifts the complete house edge from 2% with one zero wheel to a huge 5% in American. The individual number wager has only a 1 in thirty eight chance of winning, which are very big odds indeed. Bet on even-odd or black-red bets instead which have a much smaller casino edge.
Keno: Any version of Keno, and anyway you wager on it, the house advantage can be a huge 25%. No, that is not a error. Because of the huge set of numbers you must select, it’s not recommended to wager on Keno very much. A couple of times for enjoyment, perhaps. But don’t waste all your cash on it or you’ll quickly discover yourself bankrupt.
