This forces more dealer shuffles, which with smart play reduces your exposure to the casino edge. Get a casino gaming license and operate your own slot business.

For Michigan casino operators, No. 1 is the real license to print money, because slots represent 70 percent of the take in most casinos.
Many state gaming regulatory or tax agencies publicize casino slot returns for their jurisdictions.
For example, the nickel machines at the Cripple Creek casinos in Colorado return 93.7 percent to the customer. The Alton Belle Riverboat Casino in Illinois pays back 94.2 percent on its quarter machines. But Michigan casinos are not required by law to release information on their slot paybacks. All they must do is meet the standards for such machines in New Jersey or Nevada. In New Jersey, the minimum return is 83 percent, in Nevada it's 75 percent.
