How do you win at the casino?

The Nevada Gaming Authority’s Bill Zehnder is the best person to talk about casino gambling. The American has published three books in which he gives advice to beginners and professionals alike.

Finding a place to play in a casino

First and foremost, a player should forget about online casinos. They are dishonest and act solely on the basis of their interests. The market is overcrowded and extremely unstable, and online slot machine owners do not care about their reputation. They also include casinos without gambling licenses, which are designed solely for their own profit.

In them, the player not only loses all his money, but also supports illegal gambling with every bet. Such casinos evade taxes and profit from people’s mania.

In Russia, casino activity has long been regulated. Clandestine slot machines are becoming fewer and fewer in number, and their popularity is falling. A total of four gambling zones have been established in Russia:

• Siberian Coin. Located in the Altai Territory;
• Primorye. Located in Primorsky Krai;
• Amber. Located in Kaliningrad region;
• Krasnaya Polyana. Located in Sochi.

Each of these gambling zones complies with the requirements of Russian legislation.

Dealer Watching

Bill has rarely come across quality dealers. According to him, there are no more than 100 professionals in the world. Therefore, before playing blackjack, a player needs to decide on the most inexperienced, in his opinion, dealer in the casino. Zender himself has sometimes made his mark by keeping a diary of croupiers who often show players their cards and make mistakes.

Attention to detail

You don’t want to be distracted by stripper girls and bikini-clad croupiers. Such tricks are used to make the player lose focus. Often, the casino can lower the odds of winning, which the user may not notice due to distractions.

Get out on time

Just like in bookmaking, casinos have a certain margin that allows the owners of the establishments to win over the distance. Roulette is said to have a 5% advantage over the player. A guest of an establishment may win the first, second and even third time, but will surely lose once. Knowing when to quit is one of the keys to staying in the black.

Slot machines will lead to minus

According to Zender’s observations, slot machines are not the best way to make money. Bill himself used them only as entertainment. If a player decides to try to make money from slot machines, however, he is advised to play for maximum funds and go in with a bet of five dollars or more.

Do not play keno

The player’s chance of winning in keno is as small as possible. Some casinos have a dealer’s margin of victory of up to 35 percent, and in Zender’s memory no one has ever managed to guess all 20 numbers.

Training – the road to success

Bill has written about how the casino’s minimum edge is only in video poker. There, the player has the best chance of winning, but the casino is still earning, even at 0.5% advantage. This is due to the poor training of the players. The more insight a player has into poker, the better their chances of winning, as randomness is extremely rare.

Clock and drinks are on you

Some casinos will take away wristwatches from dealers to prevent players from keeping track of time. The best way out of this situation is with a quality wristwatch and a time clock that’s exactly right for grooming. Free drinks are another casino trick. The owners understand how much a player can lose, so they try to prolong their stay at the tables for as long as possible with free drinks and treats.
