The gaming commission doesn't break this out, you just see $0.25 listed, and compare. And probably more Video Poker machines, than all of the Strip. Here is the twist, North Las Vegas casinos have a ton of higher returning video poker.

Those are big numbers! If your gambling budget is only $300 per day, you can gamble nearly 4 times as long in NLV VS the Strip before going bust. Compare that to the Strip, where it was barely 89%.Įasy math says, for every $100 you cycle through in NLV, you will lose $3.00 of it. I'll tell you that, on average, North Las Vegas casinos, as a whole, returned nearly 97% of the money they took in at the quarter denom. IE the Strip, Downtown, Bolder, North Las Vegas ETC.Įverything gets lumped in. The only info that is published, is by market. The only ones that know that info, are the gaming commission and the casino itself. You will never know which casinos are giving you the best returns on slot machines. And to be honest, it is a bit stale by now. My above is the time honored reply to the question, and one you will find in most any guide book.

Plus, the fact that they did not have as big of a nut to cover as the Mega Casinos on the strip, means they did not have to rake you as hard to eek out some profit. Historically, off strip casinos have always given you a fair shake, or at least a better one when compared to the Strip. I came out of retirement to post this, as it has always been something I pondered. Also I play a lot of video poker and the paytables off strip are much better too. Give them a shot next time if you have a car. Some of the less nice casinos have great game selections too.

Also with the exception of South Point (they only cater really to locals as far as sending offers) the comps and offers are much better for the amount of play. It's also nice having some cheaper food options like a food court, etc that aren't overpriced. I have had some great winning trips at all of them. They all seem to get the new games, some games before the strip casinos even get them. Red Rock, M Resort, South Point and to an extent Green Valley Ranch all are large casinos with nice restaurants and hotels that rival the strip. I have had lots of winning trips at the off strip casinos over the past few years, and with the exception of some good visits to Cosmo, no winning trips playing on the strip. While you can have a great day winning at a tight casino or horrible luck at a casino with better odds, I find over several days I can almost always tell the difference. I live close enough to Vegas where I usually drive and then can make it around to all the off strip casinos, have been to most of them.
