The WORST Games in the Casino

Believe it or not, craps is not the only game in the casino. Savvy players have a back-up plan for when their craps game is off. If Heavy isn't winning at Craps you're likely to find him playing Baccarat, Blackjack, or even Roulette. If the table games aren't working out he may even take a cigar break in the high limit slot area for a little hit-and-run action. But just like craps - you have to plan your play and play your plan. If you have a question on slots, video poker, carnival games or any table games other than craps, this is the place to post. Let's hear about the games you play when you're not playing craps! What's your game? What's your strategy? How's that working out for you? Inquiring minds want to know!

Okay, everybody knows the Big Wheel is one of the worst games in the casino. Back before they started putting in the automated computerized Big Wheel games a couple of years ago and used live dealers on it the Big Wheel was the casinos "punishment game" for dealers. Screw up enough on other games and that's where they sent you. It's sort of like working at Disney and being sent to run the "It's a Small World" ride. Try and eight hour shift of that. In any case, I'd like to hear your opinion of what the worst game in the casino is. These days my opinion has changed somewhat from back when I first started this thread. Now I'd put baccarat up close to the top. Yeah, it has a tiny house edge, but they crowd as many as eight players around a table. All of them chain smoke. None of them tip. None of them ever leave the table. Some of them actually keep piss cups under the table so they don't have to get up and go to the bathroom. Seriously. It's just gross.

So what do you think? Worst game in the casino and why?

Triple zero Roulette. Of all the non carnival games, it has the most house edge at more than 7.

Casino War. What a stupid concept. I hated the game as a kid, but this is just silly.

All the crazy table games that are variations on Poker; especially those with "Bonus" Bets.
With a close second going to the 6/5 eight deck Blackjack games - that'll drive you to Craps

Believe it or not, I actually heard someone ASKING for a triple zero roulette game in one casino last year. Apparently they liked the pretty colors or something. Beats the hell out of me. Maybe they had a system for the green but it was the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Stupidest thing I've seen? All of those people on that Carnival cruise I took last year who were playing the damn game. Unbelievable.

Triple zero becoming increasingly common on the LV strip. Saw a table with it at Cosmo over Xmas.

I have a love/hate relationship with the big wheel. I never play it but that automated version sound that gets inside your head means I'm playing craps at Bally's or drinking over VP at Sullys so that's why in some ways I love that sound.

Seen the coin push game? You just keep feeding it and it pushes a mass of coins and other stuff at you including some bit coin chips..which it turns out aren't even bitcoins but the chance to win one. The stuff that is worth far less than you put in falls over the edge and drops into a retrieval tray. I will add to this slot machines in small casinos.

That Big Wheel at Bally's has just the opposite effect on me. All I can think of after about a half hour of that bastard blasting is how much I'd like to take it out to the gun range and open up on it with my AK47.

I agree, I generally bet a horn (GWAG game) on my comeout tosses anyway, on a crapless table i have a horn bet thats not a one roll bet. Protected by a pass line and a red (one of the few hedge bets i place) its a free shot at a good pay out. The only thing i dont like about crapless is the tables are almost always 14ft. That, and being an across bettor it requires more cash outlay , but thats a personal problem i cant seem to change.
