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.
