Does anyone here know of other casino games that you can either count or use some other method to slightly increase the edge or simply reduce the house edge to zero? Games you can play to make yourself look like a regular tourist/player for camouflage and also comps without losing any profit?
Definitely video poker -- if you play it right, it actually can have a small positive expectation. It's not nearly what BJ is, but you can really rack up the comps! However, most casinos know that their "hold" on video poker is less than traditional slots, so their comp formulas are a bit lower for video poker.
Read the FAQ on the video poker tab at the top of this page. It's interesting stuff.
Are there any positive video poker machines in AC? I mostly play there and always thought the available games weren't that good. What about other table games? I know Roulette can be beatable (under the right conditions) and I have beat the game in the past, but in my experience the reward wasn't worth the effort. I'm also looking into dice influencing, but don't have as much time to practice as I would like. I stopped playing all games for a few years and have just recently started looking into it again. I ordered and recieved my copy of The Pro's Guide to Spanish 21 this week. Now i'm just trying to see if any other games have been analyzed and found to be beatable (or close to it) in the years that I have been away from the scene. I want to say thanks to everyone for all the responses to my recent posts. Everything helps as I try to knock some of the rust off my game and get my feet wet again.
Only time I play VP in AC is when there's a good comp offer, such as 8x rewards points. It can turn a "decent" VP game such as 9/6 JoB into a marginally positive game.
There are a couple of VP games in AC where return is slightly over 100%, but they typically have a very high variance and you need to hit a RF to see a profit.
See the link below for specifics.
