Although it lacks a progressive jackpot, as does Caribbean Stud, or decent sized payoff for a royal as in Let It Ride in a casino environment, I would recommend of the three, Three Card Poker, simply because the casino advantage is lower on select bets among the three games you mentioned.

WithCaribbean Stud, the best you can hope for is a casino edge of about 5.2% based on the player's ante wager, or 2.6% based on the ante and call bet. As for the progressive wager, the average house edge is over 26%, depending, of course, on the size of the jackpot.

The reason you seldom win anything, Kaye, is because keno is a negative-expectation game that has a higher casino edge than most games the casino has to offer. On the plus side, with video keno, the medium house advantage compared to that in a live keno game is much lower. For a live keno game it’s 28%, whereas with video keno it is 7.5%.

I have not explained the “Any Craps,” bet in any drawn-out answer to a reader’s question, but I have in the past briefly mentioned that it is a wager that you should definitely avoid. Now is no time to waste hard-earned money.

The bet is quite simple. Typically employed on the come out roll, an “any craps” bet is wagering that 2, 3, or 12 will be the result of the next roll of the dice.

I am going to apply, Tim, the Woody Hayes axiom of football to this gambling question: There are three things that can happen when you throw the ball, and two are negative; an incompletion or an interception. The same holds true when taking 100X odds on a solitary wager. You could lose, and simultaneously, get wiped out, all in one throw of the dice.

I opened with “Experienced card counters” because most players are just too darn lazy to learn to count cards well in actual casino conditions. And even if they did learn to make a half-way decent count-down, they often give themselves away by ranging their bets too much or doing something else to tip off the dealers and pit bosses that they are counting.

The famous "7" bet in Craps is actually considered a sucker bet by many. In every game bet quality can change from one position to another and sometimes inches can be significant percentages. In the casino, bet quality is rated in terms of the house edge, which represents the long term average percentage of the money you bet that the casino keeps. The greater the house's edge the more of our hard earned money they keep.

The magnificent payoffs of the "7" are a direct result of the house's very high advantage and represents the worst wager you can make on a craps table. This one roll proposition has a house edge of 16.7% while a pass line wager has a casino advantage of 1.41%!

One of the primary reasons for blackjack’s immense popularity is that when played with skill, it offers the best odds of all casino games. Blackjack also offers two sweet little bonuses. You are paid an extra half of your bet on natural blackjacks—no skill or monetary risk involved—and you get to put more money down on favorable doubles and splits. As long as you select the correct video blackjack machine, these rules still apply even against a cybernetic one-armed bandit.

As for using a blackjack strategy card, yep, it’s absolutely allowed, and a must for newbies learning the game. As in the table game, the idea behind using basic strategy is to reduce the casino's advantage, and by using a blackjack strategy card you can whittle the house edge down to less than 1%.
