Keno has the highest odds with about 29% chance. Then comes Big Six (that big wheel you spin with dollar amounts on it.) Slot machines actually have better odds of winning.

You also have to keep in mind payouts on BlackJack and most table blackjacks start at $5 minimum. There are very very few $1 tables left. So, you play a larger amount of money in 2 minutes.

I go to Vegas pretty much every year. I play blackjack quite a bit. Single deck blackjack are your best odds. You also want to play straight blackjack that pays 2 to 1, but avoid insurance. Counting cards can help give an even further edge.

On the strip, as with most games, the minimum bet will be higher. Downtown on Freemont Street you will find much better odds at the slots and lower limits on the tables. Give me a single deck black table with 2 to 5000$ limits and I'm in heaven!

Of course, what time of day you gamble also plays a big role. But that's another story...
