When going out to gamble your money in hopes of winning big, it helps to know a few tricks about how casinos work. While at first these establishments might seem like places of absolute luck, there are actually some lesser-known facts that could help you keep your cash, and then some. To help you strike it rich, here's some hidden secrets that casinos don't want you to know.
Number 1 casinos work to keep you in. This should make plenty of sense, as the entire point of a casino is to make money, and the longer you're there, the more money you can spend. Keeping successful gamblers playing is done through a large number of ways, including often not having windows or clocks in the building, in an attempt to have attendants lose track of time, and stay longer than they may have intended. Casinos don't just want you to forget what time it is, as tactics like bright flashing lights and attractive women are also often used to keep you interested in the appealing visuals, which are most commonly found in places called party pits. These places turn up the music to make you feel more excited and invested, but the truth is that these party pits are actually much more likely to have smaller payouts, making these wild areas less fun than they would lead you to believe. On top of all this, many are laid out in a confusing and maze-like way, in order to make it harder for you to leave. Overall, it's important to realize that casinos are places of business looking to take your money. And so not falling for these small tricks will help you hold on to what you walked in with. Number 2, security watches you more than you know. Just about everyone knows that casinos put fair investment into their security, as it's a place where cash is constantly moving, and it is in management's best interest to make sure there's no stealing or cheating involved. You may be surprised, however, to learn just how tight the security often is. The average casino is practically packed with cameras monitoring the entire establishment and all those in it from the moment they enter. Because of this, if someone becomes a suspect to the security team, they can go back and track everything that person has done while inside the casino. The cameras are also a bit more advanced than you may believe, even having the ability to zoom in enough to read the individual cards you're holding while playing a hand of blackjack. Not only sketchy behavior marks you as a target either. As soon as someone starts to win big, you can definitely bet that they will start being monitored, to make sure that their luck is entirely legitimate. All this surveillance can make you a bit nervous to visit a casino, but it's noteworthy that as long as you're playing the games the way they're meant to be played, security is nothing to worry about. Number 3, some games are more favorable for the player. Obviously luck is a huge part of gambling. In fact, it's pretty much all of it. But you might be surprised to know that you may be significantly more likely to win money depending on the games you choose to play at a casino. You may be drawn to games like Caribbean Stud and Three Card Poker, as they often pay out with higher amounts, but it's crucial to know that because of this, your odds of winning are much lower. Experience also plays a big role in what games you should be playing. You may be drawn to a game like poker first, but watch out if you don't know what you're doing. Instead, find something like baccarat, because almost no previous knowledge or strategy is required, and the odds are actually a lot more in your favor than most alternative gambling methods. If you know a little bit more about how card games work, then maybe you should try blackjack, as the knowledge required is minimal, and you have almost the same chance of winning as the house. Finally, the individual table or machine you play is also a huge factor. As a rule of thumb, the more flashing bright lights there are, the less good the station is for you, as payouts are often lower, and the odds are probably less in your favor.
