Some casinos keep your losses as their profit, while others return your stake after every hand so you can keep gambling. As a high-rolling Vegas pro, I prefer the places that keep my losses—it means more money in the kitty for the big wins. Still, for recreational gamblers on a budget, auto-return stakes are nicer. Either way though, the house ultimately has the edge. The games are designed so the odds will always favor the casino. The stakes versus auto-return just determine how quickly the juicy stakes build up for when Lady Luck finally spins her random wheel your way!
