Most people go to the casino for a fun evening and for the thrills. It is of course great to play games, feel the excitement when you bet money and if possible win. Nowadays you no longer have to go to a casino for this, because you can also play online. There are many online casinos where you can play the same games from the comfort of your home. It is when playing casino games also winning, obviously you play for fun, but most people want to go home with a big profit.

Odds of winning and house edge

What does it take to win when playing at an online casino and what are the odds of you actually winning? Those are questions that people who go to the casino for the first time often ask themselves. Every casino has a house edge. This means that you never have a 100% chance of winning on a game. This is also necessary, because otherwise a casino would be bankrupt in no time. We have investigated the chances of winning in different games and to what extent you as a player can influence them.

Payout percentage

Every casino game has a payout percentage. At many online casinos you can preview the payout percentage of a game. Especially with slots this has always been known and it is indicated on the websites. So this is the chance of winning you have when playing the game. This way you can estimate a little how your chances lie. Of course, this is not always known or seen at a brick-and-mortar casino. But a lot of research has been done. You can easily find online what the payout percentages are of, for example, the games in all locations of Holland Casino . You can then coordinate your bets and see which game suits you best.

Poker

In poker, calculating the payout percentage is very difficult. The influence of you as a player is very large here. Are you a little good at the card game? Are you lucky and are your opponents less good at the game? All of this helps to increase your chances of winning. In poker it is very important to have good knowledge of the game. That way you can better see what your chances are and bet your money on it. That way you also run less risk. In the (online) poker game it is also very dependent on the cards you get. Do you have bad cards? Then take this into account when making your bet. You can of course bluff, but then you take a big risk.

Blackjack

Blackjack is one of the casino games with the highest chance of winning. In Blackjack you have a payout percentage of approximately 99.45%. That is the highest payout of all games. Blackjack is a card game that is all about getting closer to 21 than the house. You do not play against the house with other players alone. In the casino you play with multiple players at one table, but these players have no influence on your game. It is important that you know how the game is played and that you dare to take some risk when continuing or stopping. That way you can increase your chances of winning and beat the house.

Blackjack is a game that many people enjoy playing. It is a card game that requires little knowledge and yet you have the feeling that you determine your own chances of winning. Blackjack is a lot of fun to play in both the casino and online and with these winning odds a game is definitely worth it.

Craps

Craps is not played that much in a Dutch casino. It is an American dice game where you have to estimate what your fellow players are going to throw. A fun game to play with each other and the game can be found in many online casinos. If you want something different than Blackjack, Poker or Slots, Craps is definitely recommended. The odds of winning in Craps are high, around 99%. The chance that you win is therefore quite high and it comes in our list after Blackjack in terms of winning chances.

The player influence in Craps is small. It just depends on how the dice roll. Everyone thinks that blowing the dice or throwing a certain way increases the chances of winning, but of course that is a myth.

Roulette

Everyone knows roulette and it is a very popular game in land-based casinos and online. With an average win chance of 97.03%, it is always nice to bet. You can increase your winnings by betting on 1 specific number, but then the risk of losing your money is also much greater. If you choose to bet on 1 specific color (red or black), your bet will be doubled when the ball rolls into the correct box. By determining how you bet, you have a certain degree of player influence. But otherwise you actually leave everything to chance, because the ball is round. Much has been written about roulette strategy , read it before you start playing!

Slots

As the last game we will discuss the slots or slot machines. These are very popular both in casinos and online. Choose a machine that catches your attention and see if you can hit the jackpot. There are many different slots that you can play with or on. Especially online slots are very popular with players. You can choose a theme that appeals to you. In addition, it is very easy online to see what the payout percentage of a particular slot machine is. On average, the payout percentage of a slot is around 96%. For some this is slightly higher and for others a bit lower.

The player influence in slots is very small. Just press a button and the reels start spinning. You can choose to stop the reels earlier, but otherwise you actually have no influence at all on the outcome. The slot machine works with paylines within the game. Paylines all pay out different amounts. The jackpot is usually paid out with three identical symbols in the center of the cabinet. The online variations of slots have nice bonus games that can be used to make extra profit.

Volatility rate

In addition to the payout percentage, the volatility of a game is important for your choice. The volatility rate determines how the game pays out. A game can pay out a lot of small prizes, but there are also slots that pay out much slower, but then a high amount with a profit. When you start playing online this is known and you can decide for yourself whether you go for a high risk with the chance of a big prize or if you spread your chances. People who like to play the game often choose low volatility so that they win small prizes more often.

Mega Moolah

Mega Moolah is an example of an online slot with a high volatility rate. The chance that you will win a prize is smaller, but if you win, you might just hit the jackpot. At the Mega Moolah jackpot slot you have a chance to win a jackpot of 1 million euros. The highest jackpot the Mega Moolah has ever paid out is 18.9 million! That is of course an incredibly high amount.

Fun comes first

When playing in an (online) casino, fun is of course paramount. It’s a fun night out or a fun pastime when you play online. You now know which games have the best chances of winning and how much influence you can exert yourself on them. But always keep in mind that you are playing for fun.
