What casino games require math skills
Quote from Mark Dash on July 5, 2024, 10:26 amMath and gambling go hand in hand, as every pro gambler you encounter will go on about math, probability, chance, theoretical payouts and similar stuff. Some of them will rant about slots being hot or cold.
Casino games in general exploit the players' psychology and the players' false understanding of math, so if the player has a good background in psychology and/or mathematics he will be hurt less by the casino.
But in which games does math take part? First one to come to mind is blackjack, where you can also do some quick card counting. Then, although this isn't technically a casino game, texas hold'em poker requires a lot of calculating in your head.
There isn't really a game where math skills could come in handy to beat the house. The house made sure all the math advantage is on their side, without any loopholes!
