Most Profitable Games?

[SlotsWizard]

What games are people playing that are the most profitable?

I'm looking forward to the results of this!

Feel free to reply with an explanation or description if you chose "Other" as your choice.

Thanks!

Poker for me by a mile. I have almost quit playing casino games because of it.

 

[The Watchdog]

JAJA

I chose the one winning the poll..

Is amazing how many people I have seen making thousands of dollars out of Jacks or Better with the bonus play feature... specially on playtech.

3 Card poker should be on that poll as well

 

[SlotsWizard]

3 Card poker should be on that poll as well

It's the first one listed in parenthesis for the Table Poker - Single Player choice.

 

[Oebro]

Video Poker by far. I have won an above average number of royals so I'm definitely ahead on this one.

I've had some nice sessions of blackjack lately too.

Slots never really works for me though I wish it would - sooo much easier just to sit and press the spin button.

 

[Simmo!]

Hmm before I answer, what does "profitable" mean?

I doubt that there's a single game I'm ahead on...well almost. I just discovered "Desert Treasure" on Playtech and am up on each of two sessions there so far, but that won't last Oh and I'm up on "Triple Olives $1" at Intercasino I'd probably be closest to being "up" on Video Poker, but it bores me solid after a while.

Seriously though, are you after what's "profitable to me" or "profitable to punters in general" with this poll?

 

[NoMouthToScream]

I chose other. My most profitable by far is having a bonus to play with at any casino. The game itself doesn't matter, whether it be poker, slots, VP, whatever. I've found playing with bonuses to be the most profitable of all. I don't play at a casino unless the bonus is tempting and without much hassle.

 

[GrandMaster]

Most profitable for whom? The player or the casino?

 

[KasinoKing]

Great question!
(Except maybe you should have said 'least loss on')

The only software for which I have 100% solid facts for the last 3-years is Crypto.
On analysing this I found the following:-

Ahead 19% on Sweet Thing - but it's early days yet!
Ahead 7.7% on Roulette - but I very rarely play it as not allowed in WR.
Then the following losing games in order of least loss:-
Casino Poker Games -1.5%
Bejeweled -1.9%
Blackjack -2.5%
Video Poker -2.9% (Don't play very much)
Slots -6.7%
Solitaire -40% (Are you reading this Tennis_balls? )

 

[BJ anonymous]

I'm surprised that the score is so high for BJ.
Certainly has not applied to me yet, hopefully soon.

 

[SlotsWizard]

Are you after what's profitable to me?

Most profitable for whom? The player or the casino?

For each individual player, what game(s) do you tend to win the most at.

I don't need a poll to determine what games are most profitable to the casino they all are, to varying degrees.

This was intended to be a "luckiness" poll.

 

[liquidsoap]

Poker by far, tournys, and cashgames. Nothing like putting 20 bux in a tourny and winning and having 8 k.
Also Isis is a good bet, and same with the Mega 5 1 line game.

 

[SlotsWizard]

I definitely agree that competitive poker is the best way to make your money last. Provided you don't get a bad beat. I've been beat many times by low cards when I had pocket aces or a suited big slick - that just stinks! But your money goes a lot farther, without a doubt.

 

[Mousey]

I would like to say that VP has been my 'rock', my dependable money maker. It isn't. It's trailing behind slots slightly for the past 2 years. I'm not wildly fond of slots. But if you 'do' any bonuses at all, more than likely, slots is required. On my own money I play VP, then when I've lost 75% of my deposit, I go to slots.

 

[dominique]

Poker tournies are definitley most profitable for a skilled player.

 

[CasinoForumu]

Casino war and blackjack.

 

[uungy]

I play BJ, war, or red dog. VP never seems to hit anything more than a straight flush, and thats very rarely. I am owed at least 2 RF's (without stats, just I feel I deserve them )

The latter, is a real drainer, but when the 3 of a kinds come in, it's really pretty! had one recently on a RTG on a $150 bet!

 

[mikepipe]

I play only slots.

Most profitable - by far - are good to go and secret admirer.
explanation?
I never give them more than five spins per night and had the feature super-often (winner screenshots...).
Certainly a case of good luck - what else---?!

 

[SlotsWizard]

I had one recently on a RTG on a $150 bet!

Wow, nice one! I have yet to hit 3 of a kind but I don't play Red Dog very much although I do enjoy it from time to time.

When you can hit those 5 scatters, that is the BEST!

Here's what it looks like at $90 a spin:

 

[just play]

For each individual player, what game(s) do you tend to win the most at.

You should have had none as one of the picks. I swear, I literally hit NOTHING...I have deposited almost everyday for the last 3 months and have hit NOTHING! Say I deposit 50-100, I never go over my deposit, not even by $1, it's really very strange. I thought it was just my favorite casino that was doing it to me, but I have tried 2 others and nope, nada, nothing...my money goes in and just goes downnnnnn.

I even emailed and called one of the casinos (the one I play the most at) asking them if they have me on a "don't win list"

I just makes no sense to me...if you deposit everyday or almost everyday for 3 months you should likely hit something right?

Maybe I should change my name to "the unluckiest player out there"

I ve never seen that before.
Phantastic

I hear that. It's the same thing for me too. In fact that's why I started this thread/poll - I want to know what the hell people are playing that they're cashing out so much money from. All these people cashing out 4 or 5 digits from a $20 or $50 deposit. Darned if I can figure out how they do it. I go to bingo in real life and can win regularly. But hop online to play, and the vacuum starts sucking until the bank account is dry.

As far as your deposits - I think this might be part of the problem. I find myself depositing small amounts too and before I know it I've "donated" $500 or more. That makes me think that if I had just deposited the $500 all at once, I might have stood a better chance of breaking even or coming out ahead.

No????? Is that real?
I ve never seen that before.
Phantastic

Sadly this was in "fun" mode. You can bet that my first stop (after the cash-out button) would have been the Winner Screenshots thread if it had been for real money!

Poker and Video Poker.

I had a bad dry spell with All Aces Video Poker last week but luck turned around big time this weekend. Straight Flush (300 coins), 4 Aces (2000 coins), 4 Aces (2000 coins) within 50 hands of one another. Plus some smaller wins on Bonus Poker afterwards while screwing around with some reload bonuses. 6 or 7 cashouts pending now. I still need a Royal on Microgaming.

Cashanova and Isis were horrible today. I took 100 spins of Isis and never hit for more than 2.5x my bet.

I hope I never see another roulette table. I'll leave it at that.

I hadn't played Texas Hold'em in quite a while. But since the poker rooms started putting free chips in my account I started again (it keeps me occupied so I don't play the casinos too much).

 

[Simmo!]

I put "reel slots" because they fit my strategy. Although I play bonus slots most and some VP, i dip into the "reel slots" just to build up a little bit of balance from time to time, so I go in, make a few bucks, then dip out back to the other games. They are far less streaky and there's usually a point when you are "up". Thankfully they are soooo boring generally, that's it's easy to quit while I'm ahead

Basically, the more boring the game, the more likely you'll finish up ahead

Ya see... In my first reply I was looking at long term... the total for almost 4 yrs play.

If you want to talk the last year... especially the past few months... I'm in exactly the same shape as you. Doesn't matter what software -- RTG, MG, Crypto, Playtech, Boss -- I can't get above my starting balance... slurrrrp, down the tubes it goes. I am at least 2 cycles behind for a RF. (And my last RF was while I was playing freakin' nickels.)

OH. And about starting with $500 instead of $50. I signed up at a new casino last week, had over $300 to play with (including the bonus) ... briefly got it up to +$25 very early on, then sluuurrrp... lasted less than 30 minutes. In fact, I managed to blow through over $700 in bonuses this month without hitting anything better than a $25 bonus round on Thunderstruck. I only managed 2 1/2 x playthrough on slots.

My NETeller is empty. It has NEVER been empty since my first cash out years ago. I gamble only with what I win. It's been too long since I've had a good run at slots or VP. I'm tired. I'm frustrated. Like you and a lot of others, I feel as if I've been 'profiled' and put on the 'do not win' list. (I'm not saying this is true, I'm saying how I feel.)

So, I'm taking a break. The only casino that has noticed so far has been Fortune Lounge who gave me a $50 bonus -- which lasted 3 minutes.

Sorry about all your bad luck Mousey, but your last sentence provides a bit of a clue; if $50 really did last only 3 minutes then I would say your bets are too big.
To profit consistently you need 1 of 2 things:-
a) Extreme runs of good luck, or b) Lot's of patience!
One of these things you can control, the other you can not...

Thanks KK. I played @ .36, and .45, and .72 per spin just trying to get something going. Should I start out lower? Tried a few .80 a spin at Megaspin Double Magic -- once upon a time, I depended on games like DM to help me make playthrough. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. And actually, I guess I was exaggerating a bit... the $50 lasted more like 5 minutes. When you never get above your starting balance, and nothing hits, it only takes a very few minutes to lose $50 on slots -- even at .45 a spin.

When I decide to play again, I'll remember your advice. I've managed to play for almost 4 years only on my winnings. And now... now, it's as if I've forgotten how I did it! I'm churning around trying this, trying that, and nothing is working.

I've got a bonus coming this week (slots only) ... I'll keep all my bets very low and I'll let you know it goes.

Obviously, the more spins you make, the chances are you will hit a nice win every now and then.

I work like this:

Bankroll of £100.00 - £0.72-£1.50 a spin
BR of £200.00 - Double above - maybe more
BR of £300.00 - x 1.5 above
And so on....

If you have big balls, go as much as you can and hope you hit. It all depends what you want from the slot - length of play or a big juicy win. When I just wanna play, I play small stakes. When I want a buzz I start gambling and play big stakes.

You can take someone like KasinoKing's advice and play conservatively for small stakes for a relative small profit every month, but personally I find that very boring and it wouldn't give me what I am looking for.

My biggest hit was 5 staffs with a wild on TS at £11.25 a spin. I had a bankroll of £1k at that time. It paid £2k+.

GL.

 

[Mousey]

Cheeky... I usually low roll it. And I stay low until I get some hits. If I get above my balance, I take it up to 3x or 4x my starting bet for a few spins. If I hit zilch, I go back to my .45 or .90 spins.

Lately, I could have half the money in Fort Knox to gamble with and I still think I'd lose it all before bedtime. LOL I'm just not hitting anything -- anywhere. Doesn't matter how much or how little I bet. I'm cursed.

Hehe - we have all been there Mousey.

I have enclosed a little something for you.

Save it to your pics and then wait for the slots fairies to come along.

 

[Slotster!]

I feel your pain Mousey!

Gotta say - I'm hitting nothing like anywhere NEAR the sort of hits I was getting this time last year!

Admittedly I am playing a lot less than this time last year (actually thinking about it - an AWFUL lot less), mainly due to other commitments eating into my gambling time (Damn family/job ) -- But, like you, I can't hit a thing!!

Off the top of my head, the last decent win I hit in terms of xBET was the five aeroplanes for 500 off .90p on Millionaires Club... That's going back about a month or so I reckon!

Maybe I was just losing more in the past than I care to think about?.. Dunno. Managed to go through 200 last night on Avalon in around Oooh... ten minutes or something at 2 a spin - not one feature. Was doing the "I'll switch to another slot at 150"..."I'll switch to another slot at 100"... "I'll switch to another slot at 50, the feature's gotta hit soon"... "I'll switch to another slot at 20"... Close casino. Heh hee...

That's slots for you... I coulda probably lasted a zillion times longer on blackjack or something, but where's the fun in that

I couldn't agree more Mr Slotster Sir!! But, you are still a slots legend :notworthy, although maybe Simmo is catching up with you now me thinks.

Heh hee... Cheers CM... But... Catching me up!??? The guy has zoomed past, kicked me into the bushes, got off, laughed, relieved himself on my crumpled and disfigured body, got back on his bike - and sped off into the distance cackling whilst throwing $100 bills over his shoulder

Simmo is undeniably the slots legend around these parts at the minute... A 16K progressive doesn't do any harm for starters!! :notworthy
