Is it easy to win money in Casino?

From what I've read because the ships are largely unregulated the slots have a lower payout percentage than landbased casinos. I've heard that some lines adopt Blackjack rules that favor the house more, but I don't know enough about the game to really understand those threads. I would think that craps, roulette and poker would have roughly the same odds as a land based casino. I would stay away from Bingo on most ship's. The payouts are small and it's usually expensive.

There's no competition, so no reason to have loose slots ... people are either going to play or not. Table games generally have the same odds as on land, but you have to watch out for special games ... I've seen about 5 versions of 21 onboard, each with different rules, payouts, and odds (and none that "improved" the odds, for sure).

Craps is as fair at sea as on land, although I noticed that the table had the "Big 6" and "Big 8" in the corners which is a sucker bet (and illegal in NJ, although it's universal in Vegas). It's a sucker bet because placing the 6 or 8 pays better.
