Most casino games doesn’t require any knowledge of the game, only luck is needed. I’ll call “luck” the easy way, it means that you can play at a casino for the first time in your life and win big money. That is why casino games are so popular: humans tend to think that they will get lucky, risk their money at casinos … and … lose. Even you are a veteran player, in spite of knowing about house edge (house vigorish), the luck factor and the pleasure to get lucky will make your foots go to a casino.

“Luck never gives; it only lends.” – Proverb.  

Besides pure luck, some casino games require skill elements, for ex.  Blackjack is such a game. In such games the house edge is defined as the house advantage from optimal play. A good player minimize the house edge, but doesn’t remove it completely. So, it doesn’t matter how well you play blackjack, in the long term you’ll lose money … if your don’t have luck

Professional gamblers prefer to play casino games with a small house edge, because they tend to rely on their skills. Novice players are throwing themselves at any game thinking and praying solely on their luck. Such players are completely unaware that different games have different house edges.

Being a novice poker player, I’m relying on skill and constantly improve my game. Nevertheless, I’m very pleased when I win in situations where the skill tells me that I’ll lose. Random luck is one thing that makes me enjoy poker. While thinking about luck … I’ve started to think about playing casino games. Some casino games of skills are Blackjack, Video Poker, Sports Betting. And here is a list of games of luck: Slot Machines, Online Bingo, Keno, Lottery, Scratch Cards, Roulette, Instant Win Games, Craps, Sic Bo. I think I’ll give Blackjack a try soon. See you at the tables !
