Your personality type
Choosing the right game; Part 1
Which casino game should you play? It really depends on what thrills you,
how much money you have, and how much effort you want to put into your
gambling. Also, a player’s personality has a lot to do with choosing the
right game to play. For example, are you a relatively quiet, reserved
person? Then you might feel uncomfortable at the loud and boisterous
game of craps. Do you hate making quick decisions under pressure? Well
then blackjack may not be your game. Do you have an assertive
personality? Then you’ll probably be bored playing roulette. The point is
that a player’s personality can often help them decide which game is best
for them. Here are some tips:
Shy, quiet, reserved, introvert
Your best game may be the slot and video poker machines because you
don’t have to deal with a sometimes-intimidating dealer or fellow player.
Since there is no one rushing you, you can play at your own pace. If you
want to try a table game, a good option is roulette. It’s a slow paced game
with easy-to-learn playing rules. Also, where and how you bet have no
effect on the outcome of your fellow player’s bets. You will never feel self-
conscious about making a “stupid play” that may cause your fellow players
to lose. Another table game to consider is mini-baccarat. You just decide
on whether to bet on the bank hand or player hand. That’s all there is to
play this casino game and like roulette, where and how you bet won’t affect
other players.
Your overall best bet, however, is to play video poker. If you learn the right
playing strategies and are knowledgeable about which machine to play,
your odds of winning are improved compared to playing the slots, roulette
or mini-baccarat.
Outgoing, extrovert, assertive, bold
Your game is definitely craps. Here you can shout, scream, and let it all
hang out. You can assertively toss chips to the dealer and tell him or her
where to place them. You can tell the dealer to “press” your bets, or “take
them down.” You also get to hold the instruments that will control your
destiny (the dice) and can boldly toss them down the table. Yes, you have
a lot of control at the dice tables and the game is definitely not for the faint
of heart.
Risk taker, speculator, gambler
If you are the kind of person that likes to bet the long shot at the race
track, or the underdog in football, or buys lottery tickets hoping to win
several million then you’ve got several options in a casino that match your
personality. Certainly the possibility of winning a big progressive slot
machine jackpot for only a modest investment of a few dollars has to
appeal to the risk taker. Another option is the jackpot side bet in
Caribbean Stud Poker or the tournament side bet in Let it Ride. Here for
only a buck you’ve got a chance to win up to several hundred thousand
dollars if you get the right hand. There is also the hardway bet, any craps,
and other long shot proposition bets in craps that offer relatively high
payouts. And last but not least, is keno. Here for only a few bucks you’ve
got the chance to win $50,000 or more by just picking the right numbers.
But be forewarned that just like the lottery, these long shot, high-risk
casino bets have a relatively high casino edge.
