When faced with a game catalog as expansive as the one at Borgata Online, it can be a daunting task for someone unfamiliar with online casino games to choose one that suits them and their play style. Whether you\u2019re attracted to the exhilaration and unpredictability of random number generator (RNG) games or the strategy-based gambling of poker and blackjack, online casinos offer something for everyone. However, not all casino games are as easy to win as others. So, when you\u2019re looking for something to play, do you go for the game you love or the casino games with the best odds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice for many punters is to play casino games that they like and hope for some wins along the way, but for more serious gamblers, the point is to chase the best odds for a win. Take a look at a trio of the most popular online casino table games<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 namely craps, blackjack, and baccarat \u2014 and determine which of these offers you the best odds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are the Odds in Craps?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the craps casino game can seem a lot more complicated than it actually is, which deters some players. However, once you know how to play, the craps table offers you one of the most exciting (and potentially rewarding) experiences of any casino game, both online and in-person. Online craps might not be the most popular casino game to play online, but it\u2019s a great choice if you\u2019re looking to test how lucky you are or just enjoy casino dice games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, if you\u2019re looking for the best odds at the online craps table, then the pass line bet is your go-to. The pass line bet is straightforward. You\u2019re betting that the shooter will roll a 7 or 11 without rolling craps (2, 3, 12). If a point (a number other than 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12) is established, you continue rolling until either the point is rolled again (you win) or a 7 is rolled (you lose).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house edge on the pass line is just 1.4%, meaning you\u2019ll lose about a penny on average for every dollar you spend on the game. This isn\u2019t bad, considering you can fire the dice with just the click of a button, so get ready for some rapid-fire betting (within your available budget, of course). If luck\u2019s in your favor, and you\u2019re increasing your bet incrementally as you win, then you could extend your bankroll quite a bit while you play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another approach, though it can be met with some dirty looks, is to play the \u201cdon\u2019t pass line.\u201d This wager allows you to win when the shooter craps out before establishing a point. Now, the odds are even better here than on the pass line (the house edge is a measly 1.36%), but remember that everyone else at the table is likely going to be playing the pass line, and if you win on the don\u2019t pass line, then everyone else loses. (So, celebrate quietly to yourself if you do win because nobody else will be.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While pass and don\u2019t pass bets are some of the best craps bets you can make<\/strong><\/a>, these bets do have a small house edge, which means the casino has a slight advantage over time. However, did you know that there is a craps side bet that has no house edge?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a point is established (which is a number set by the first roll of the dice that is not a 7 or 11 win or a 2, 3, or 12 loss), you can make what\u2019s called an \u201codds\u201d bet. This bet is unique because it pays at the true odds of rolling the point again before you roll a 7, meaning that there is no house edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How exactly does that work? In casino games, the term \u201chouse edge\u201d refers to the casino\u2019s mathematical advantage over the players over time. It\u2019s expressed as a percentage representing the average gross profit the casino can reliably expect to make from each game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The odds bet in craps is an exception to this because it pays out at true odds. This means that the payouts are exactly proportional to your chances of winning. For example, if there\u2019s a 2:1 chance of rolling a certain number, the payout is also 2:1 (or +200 in moneyline format). So, when you place an odds side bet, you\u2019re getting a fair game where your chance of winning is exactly balanced by the amount you get if you do win. So, when you place an odds bet in addition to your pass or don\u2019t pass bet (when allowed), you can effectively make a portion of your total stake free of any house edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online Baccarat Odds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Online baccarat is a game that\u2019s easy to understand, boasts solid betting odds for players, and is incredibly popular at both online and brick-and-mortar casinos. The rules are simple \u2014 you bet on the player or the banker, both sides draw cards from a deck, and whoever ends up with a hand closer to 9 is the winner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baccarat has some of the best casino game odds. In fact, one of the main factors that attract players to the game of baccarat is the low house edge on the two main bets. The house edge on standard online baccarat tables is only: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
