In general, it’s best to pick the machines with the highest payouts. Search online to find specific machines that are known to have a high RTP (“return to player”). Pay attention to volatility, too. Low volatility slots have a higher chance of winning, but high volatility machines usually offer a bigger payout. Check out comments and reviews by other people who have used the slot as well.

Staff Answer

Most gambling experts agree that table games have better odds than slots, and Blackjack is the easiest of those to win. If you play Blackjack, spend some time observing the game before you join in. This will give you a better idea of the winning strategies. If you go at a time that’s not really busy, you might also be able to get a basic walkthrough of the game from the dealer.

If it’s a big win (over $25,000), you’ll likely get an option to receive regular payouts from a settlement, or sell your settlement in exchange for a lump sum of cash. Either way, you’ll need to pay taxes on the money you win. For lower prizes, you may simply be offered cash or a check. You’ll need to show your ID and fill out some tax forms in order to receive the money.

Question

Can you make a living by gambling at a casino?

Some people who know how to work games like blackjack can win big. However, it is likely that average people just walking in will lose big. Casinos are typically awash in cash. That means they win much more than they lose, and that's not good news for the average player.

Question

If I use a friend's cards and win big, will I get the money?

Joanne

Community Answer

If you are using private cards, you're considered a cheater, and the casino can ban you and not cash in your chips.
