Casino Payouts

Every state in Australia now has a casino in their capital city. The various state governments gradually woke up to the attractiveness of gambling income through taxation and inevitably succumbed to introducing these revenue generators. It has been said that the greatest gambling addicts in Australia are governments, as they could not balance the books without the revenue they cream off the casinos, lotteries and Pokies.

For the purposes of the smart gambler, casino games can arbitrarily be divided into two categories, those which involve a degree of skill and those which don't.

If played well, the games which require a degree of skill such as Blackjack tend to offer better percentage returns to the player than games with fixed returns such as Roulette.

Being informed about your casino game of choice is going to give you a much better return than those who are unprepared, and will allow you to get better value for your entertainment dollar. Remember that this (entertainment) is what gambling at a casino represents for anyone who has not done the intensive training required to be a successful professional gambler.

It is entertainment for which you, as part of the wider group of casino gamblers, must pay. You may be lucky enough to win on a given occasion, but for that to happen someone else will have lost.

In deciding what casino games to play, it is recommended you refer to the following table of comparative returns... you may still choose to play your favourite, but you will now be aware of the return on the dollars you wager.
