In case you forgot, blackjack is a variant of the popular 21 game and is one of the oldest and most popular games in any casino.
Just like in poker, the probability of winning/losing in blackjack changes with each new card revealed.
The biggest increase in your chances of winning is getting an ace in your starting hand. However, when high cards fall out in the future, this probability, on the contrary, falls.
For example, the probability that you hit blackjack in the starting two cards is only 1.2%, and the probability of getting twenty points in the first hand is about 10.2%.
“Due to the possibilities of using information and rational choice, this game attracts even those who are not interested in gambling. Some will also enjoy the game due to its similarity to solitaire, as the dealer has no choice,” wrote mathematician and blackjack expert Peter A. Griffin in his book Blackjack Theory.

Slot machines or, simply, slot machines can be relevant both for land-based gambling halls and casinos, and for online gambling platforms.
By the way, the first legal online casinos will soon appear in Ukraine , where slots will be one of the most popular types of games.
It is quite difficult to calculate a universal win rate in slots, since there are thousands of different types of slot machines with different numbers of reels, lines and winning combinations.
However, in all slots without exception, the chances of winning depend on the random number generator ( RNG) and the percentage of money returned to the player ( RTP). In high-quality slot machines, the RTP should be at least 95%.
As for RNG, for example, in a slot with three reels and six lines on each of them, 216 different combinations can fall out. Depending on the number of winning combinations, the probability of winning them varies from hundredths of a percent to several percent.
Roulette
And, of course, the most common casino game is roulette.
The probability of winning differs in different versions of roulette: if the European variation of the game with 37 numbers on the wheel and one zero gives the casino a 2.7% advantage, American roulette has two zeros, which increases the house edge to 5.26%.
Otherwise, calculating the chance of winning here is quite simple: if you bet on one of the numbers, the probability of winning will be 1 out of 37 ( 38).
In some cases, you can bet on colors or several numbers at once. This allows you to significantly increase your chances of winning, but the amount of winnings will be much less.
