It is possibel to gain an edge by “hustling progressive jackpots” on slot machines, however, there is a signifigant variance issue dues to the size of the progressive jackpot in comparison to other prizes/losses, that makes the likelyhood of actaually showing profits in ones lifetime not gauranteed. It is possible to hold an edge over the machine, but anybody calling themselves a professional slot player, is a fool.

Relevant to blackjack, the game of spanish 21, is also readily beatable by simlar tactics, and in fact, is more lucrative than blackjack by a small amount when dealt in the same manor. You will seldom hear about prfessional sp21 players, but they exhist.

There are craps players that use a technique reffered to as “dice controll” which alters the probibilities that different numbers will be rolled, shifting the odds into their favor, shoudl they bet accordingly, While it is impossible to measure due to the inneficiency of human action, the ROI for craps is estimated to be as high as 110%. The concept of dice conrrol has never been proven or disproven, but the concept is sound in principal.

Video poker machines with certain payscales are beatable by a rather simple playing strategy the put the ROI above 100% and as high as 100.7% unfortunately, the amount of money you can put into action is small, and profits are small as well.

Roullete is beatable by the concept of wheel timing, or dection of wheel bias. Wheel timing can be done with the aide of computer, but some peopel have developed what i see as controvercial techniques of wheel timing without using a computer, if the process of wheel timing could be simplified enough to be done by human mind, it woudl be plausibel that there are professional wheel timers. If not, the use of a computer to aide in playing is illegal in MOST locations, but not all. Detecting wheel bias, in the past was a common way to beat roullette, however, in modern casinos, wheel bias is detected automatically by the casino thanks to electronics monitoring the table 24/7, if the system detects a wheel ~may~ be out of allignment, it will let the personell know, and they will reallign it.

I has been theorised and universally aggreed that the process of card sequencing could be applied to effectively beat games such as three card poker, and casino texas holdem, however the process is undefined as it would be astronomically complex, and a simlified method of doing so just hasnt been created yet. Furthermore, there are very few shuffle trackers, and card sequencers in exhistance, and teaching somebody from day one, how to apply such techniques woudl take years, so it may never be a game that is READILY beatable and you will read about in books, but its certanly possible.

Vegas matt is very correct in that craps is the most lucrative professional gambling occupation. If you would like to learn about the p[rocess, there is a guy that offers classes on its mechanics In the atlantic city area. He holds classes on saturdays in pleasantville in a casino dealer school.

I have been greatly successful playing blackjack, Not only winning money, but getting thousands of dollars in comps as well, somethign often overlooks as an easy way to gain value from gambling.

If becoming a true professional isnt your thing, dont hesitate to overlook the art of “comp hustling” which ensures you get more money in freebies than you lose gambling, this often simple strategy will make your time spent in a casino well worth your while.
