KION anchor Jon K. Brent says the odds aren't with you at tribal casinos in California, but if you must gamble, go for blackjack:
called several tribal casinos in Central California for this report. Only one would respond and tell me, on average for every dollar you put in, they pay out 98 cents. All I have to say to that is, hmmmmm!!! So you want to win at casinos? Experts say do not play the slots!! They have the worst odds, but if you must play the slots, that's your love affair. My research from various sources found that the more you put in per bet, the higher your chance of winning. If you put in the maximum in a penny machine, which is 50 cents, your odds of winning are greater than if you put in just 2 cents. Also, the penny slots pay out the worst. The $1 and $5 slots have better payouts. As to games, experts agree that blackjack has the best odds of any game in a casino. It's just you against the dealer, and you have to get a number higher than the dealer and not go over 21. After that, craps and roulette have the best odds of winning, but those games are not allowed in tribal casinos in California.Get the Story:
