Question by Tom: Can you owe an online casino money?
I decided to play roulette today. i deposited £25 and used a promotion that give me another £25. Unfortunatly i did not realise the promotion was for slots and not roulette. My balance on the account is now £85 but i can’t withdraw the money because i have not met the requirments on the promotion. I decided to close the account because i had fun and i don’t really mind losing the money but could InterCasino refuse to close my account because of the promotion?

Question by Beetle: How are casino payback percentages calculated?
Can someone tell me how to calculate the payback percentages of the different casino games? I know I can find the payback percentages, but I want to know how they are calculated.

Is it something like odds + pay table = payback ? I know in video poker the odds are known since the cards are always the same (except for games with a joker) and the payback percntage is changed by adjusting the pay table.

How is this done for different games?

I am interested in all the main casino games like:

blackjack
roulette
craps
video poker
slots (I know the odds are unknown here)
keno
baccarat
bingo
sic bo
poker
caribbean poker

Also, like in keno. How do I know which games give the best odds? Are they all the same whether one bets on 6 numbers or 10 or 15? I am assuming it is since the pay schedules are adjusted. Am I right?

How is it done? In general, all the possible scenarios are played out with the appropriate probability and are weighted by the amount you are supposed to win or lose according to the rules.

And its probability x pay out = payback

For example we can examine the “field bet” in craps.

When one makes this bet, one wins even money if a 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 is rolled on the next roll….and they win double if 2 or 12 is rolled on the next roll. If any other number is rolled, one loses the bet.

Number….Probability….Net Win….Return
2…….1/36……+2……2/36
3…….2/36……+1……2/36
4…….3/36……+1……3/36
5…….4/36…….-1….-4/36
6…….5/36…….-1….-5/36
7…….6/36…….-1….-6/36
8…….5/36…….-1….-5/36
9…….4/36……+1….+4/36
10…..3/36……+1….+3/36
11…..2/36……+1….+2/36
12…..1/36……+2….+2/36
Total Probability: 1
Total Return: -2/36

House Edge = Average amount lost/Initial Wager
So here its 2/36 = 5.56%

Most casino games are calculated in this fashion…if player’s decision is involved, it is often assumed that the player plays “optimally”.

For slots, the machines are pre-programmed to return a particular %age of the initial wager over the long run, usually in the low 90% range, which yields a house edge anywhere from 8 to 10%.

Live poker is different, here the house makes money one of two ways. Either they take out some money from the pot every hand, or they charge you a fee to sit at the table and play. In my area, the first option takes out 10% of the pot up to $ 4. The second option usually charges a player $ 7 per half hour of play.

For your keno question, the house edge will vary based on the numbers chosen…how much it will vary will vary by individual casinos.

Here is a huge webpage listing live keno returns for many casinos. By the way, the house edge on live Keno is also usually one of the worst in the casino.

Question by Shoop: Are there any good casino paying sites that accept US players and Paypal?
I want to play roulette online but I can’t seem to find any place that accepts us players and allows you to deposit with PayPal. Any help?

Best answer:

Answer by Anyonehere?
I’m afraid you can’t find any because there aren’t any. If you really want to play then you’ll need to get yourself a moneybookers or neteller account.

Question by pillsbury09mn: What’s a casino table game better then Blackjack?
I’ve been playing Blackjack for awhile now, and I CAN’T STAND the aspect that it is so much luck involved.
Of course if you get good at the statistics, etc… then you can do pretty good. I know people that do well, but there is just so much luck it drives me crazy!
Poker is okay, but I would rather not play against the pros that come in there and know where there doing vs. a novice . and it’s clear that playing poker in a casino is a lot different then with some buddies…

SO, I’ve heard of Pai Gow, 3card poker, 4card poker, caribbean, let it ride, and Mini Baccarat.

What’s a good game to learn?
I hate slots, and it seems 90% of people in casinos play SLOTS, Blackjack, Poker, Craps, or Roulette.

What game should I learn of these CARD games?

I am in California so we don’t have real craps, or roulette.. (no mechanical stuff at Indian casinos).

Thanks!

Question by Tt: I see all these Online Casino ads, My question is do they just tweak the software to make people lose?
I see all these Online Casino ads, My question is can’t theye just tweak the software to make people lose? In a real casino is Las Vegas you’re right there when they spin the roulette or play Black Jack, but in software you can just tweak the program to change the outcome. What do you think??
Thanks for the replies and comments, but if you’re right online casinos don’t cheat, who oversees it. Is there some organization that ensures the integrity of the software just like they do in real casinos.
Who regulates the online casinos. Is there a government agency that checks for software. Most of these online casinos are offshore, so which authority tests their software and makes sure its not fradulent. Is there a website for such an authority or agency which does the enforcement.

Best answer:

Answer by Marcus R.
Gambling is an addition, I know because I am addicted but I live in Nevada where one can gamble at the corner seven eleven. Because it is addicting, tweaking is also a gamble. If you make your machines unwinable nobody will play, not even us hard core. If you want to be one of the many winners, set limits and stick to em. Both highs and lows. Even the stock market teaches this tactic.
