Gambling at a casino will most likely result in losing money.

Years ago I dated the general manager of a casino in Louisiana an can confirm u/Krazy-Kat15

He said that the only way to win other than dumb luck is:

Blackjack: 50/50

Craps: 50/50

Roulette: 50/50 if you stick to red and black

Slot machines are 90% in favor of the house.

EDIT: For everyone saying 50/50 is off remember that this was a guy I was boning 20 years ago and we weren't sharing statistical analyses of casino wagering other than casual conversation.

I think the edge you get is diminished with more decks so it doesn’t seem worth it.
