Comments

Comparing both tables, a clear trend can be seen.  Slots and keno are not the games you want to play if you have any aspirations of beating the casinos in the long term.  Game requiring a degree of player skill, such as blackjack and video poker, are much better bets.

Hope this is helpful, and Good luck in the future.
