The flashing lights, the glitzy machines, and the free drinks and buffets all make casinos seem like a good place to spend some money. But beneath it all, they’re just an elaborate system designed to slowly bleed patrons of their hard-earned cash. Casinos rely on mathematical odds to maximize their profits and minimize their losses. For years, mathematicians and computer programmers have worked to exploit these systems in order to beat the house.

In addition to the traditional card and table games, some casinos offer a variety of Far Eastern gaming. These include sic bo, fan-tan, baccarat, and pai gow. Some have also added games that are popular in the local area such as two-up (Australia), banca francesa, boule, and kalooki.

Casinos are often the perfect venue for a wedding, convention, or group event. In order to attract these events, your marketing needs to reflect this. Using Cvent’s Competitive Ads, you can target planners who are searching for similar locations or sister markets and earn top visibility during their search sessions—the time when they are most likely to follow through on their booking decisions.
