Why roulette and blackjack are not suitable for wagering

Introduction

When playing a bonus with a vager, the key indicator is the contribution of the bet to the offset of the turnover. For slots, it is 100%, and for board games such as roulette and blackjack, it usually does not exceed 5-10%. This makes them ineffective tools for fulfilling bonus conditions.

1. Low rate offset percentage

Roulette (simple bets "even/odd," "red/black") in the best cases give 10% of the bet. The remaining types of bets are often not subject to accounting at all.
Blackjack and other card games usually count at 5%.
Example: with the required turnover of A $1,000 and A $10 rate:
  • Slot: offset A $10.
  • Roulette (10%): offset A $1.
  • Blackjack (5%): offset A $0.50.
  • To get A $1,000 in roulette, you need to put A $10,000; in blackjack - A $20,000.

2. Longer wagering time

Round speed: slots last 3-5 seconds, roulette and blackjack - 30-60 seconds.
The required volume of bets: with a low contribution, it grows 10-20 times.
The result: instead of a few hundred spins, you have to make thousands of bets, spending hours or days.

3. Increased financial risk

High turnovers on low-contribution bets increase the likelihood of losing the entire bankroll before performing the vager.
Balance swings: Multiple rounds in high-stakes board games (for acceleration) result in spikes and unprofitable chains.

4. Accounting and control difficulties

Mixed odds: Switching between games makes it easy to get confused about contribution percentages.
Calculation error: missed bets or misunderstanding of deposits lead to non-fulfillment of the vager and cancellation of the bonus.

5. Optimal strategy

1. Focus on slots with 100% contribution.
2. Delegate board games only after the main turn is complete for a change, not for scoring.
3. Monitor progress through your personal account or spreadsheet so you don't waste time playing low-level games.

Conclusion

Roulette and blackjack when playing a bonus with a low wager become extremely ineffective due to the minimum standings of bets (5-10%) and long rounds. To fulfill the conditions as quickly and safely as possible, use slots with a full contribution, and leave board games "for fun" after closing the vager.
