OT- I want to learn a new casino table game

Are those the only table games offered? Because the game that fits your criteria perfectly is Pai Gow Poker. It's a great way to spend a lot of time at a table without losing too much money (although you won't win a ton either).

The best would be craps if that have that but that also has a lot of advanced strategy that is hard to learn I think. As said above Pai Gow might be the best option as you can pretty much play it forever. I'm a huge NL Texas Hold'em player though and only play that when I go to the Casino.

Pai Gow isn't a gambler's game. It's a drinker's game. Pai gow is best played with a few friends yucking it up, having a few free drinks, making tons of inappropriate remarks about possible working girls lurking around, and hitting on the asian pit boss that stares daggers at you (okay maybe that last one is just me.) If you're just killing time alone it will probably get boring. The downside to roulette/craps is that even played optimally both games swing horribly (ESPECIALLY craps.) Considering you'll probably be alone I guess roulette would be the best way to socially blow your per diem at a slower rate (even though the odds are probably the worst in the casino.)

Rules in a nutshell: You place a bet/ante. You get five cards face down. Dealer gets four cards face down and one face up. You look at your cards and can either fold and forfeit your ante or you can call, where you will have to bet two times your ante. Dealer MUST have A/K or better to qualify. If he doesn't qualify, the call bets are pushed back and the dealer pays the ante of those who stayed in. If dealer qualifies and your hand beats the dealer, the amount you win varies depending on your hand. As with many casino games, it is not without a major kick in the nuts. If you get 4 of a kind, or some other monster hand and the dealer doesn't qualify, you will only win your ante and not the multiplier for having a good hand.

is total chance

let it ride is a no-brainer game, boring and just play your cards roulette is all about chance, i love it but there is no skill 4 card poker is where it is at, get 5 card and try and make your best 4 card poker hand [3,4,5,6 : 4 hearts] or whatever sucks your money fast but you can win big

is the best. If you have a little time to read up, you can pick up a basic strategy pretty well. If not, then you can play the pass line (like everyone else). Find the lowest minimum bet table and be sure to play odds. It's a blast. Fast paced. Great fun.

One, Carribean stud is a blast but I have found a lot of casinos are getting rid of it.... The ultimate game though is straight up Texas Hold em poker. Definitely practice before going to a casino though. What makes it so great is that the casino takes a certain percent of the pot total and you play against other gamblers, not the casino. That is how you know you have the best chance. There is a lot to it, but I have found that it is the most rewarding game. Blackjack is always an option but every casino plays the shoe and it's annoying that I'm paying the same price and the casino gets an added advantage.

Unfortunately, Blackjack is as good as it gets as far as skill-based gambling games that you play against the house, with something like a .5% house edge. Assuming that you don't abruptly become a good poker player (which you won't without effort), the next best choices would be craps or Video Poker (on a machine). Craps is easy to pick up (bet minimum on pass line, take the odds for as much as you feel like) and has a pretty low house edge overall. However, the skill factor is low and mainly works around avoiding the suckier bets. One thing to avoid is repeatedly betting on the pass line before your previous pass line bet is resolved; you tend to get lots of little wins and a few bigger losses, which I assume is horribly addictive. Video poker takes some effort to pick up, but has a lot of skill and often has a low house edge. You'll want to know a strategy, which you can find online. It's probably the best game to jump to if you like thinking but don't mind trying to beat the house edge. A great site to go to for video poker info is: http://wizardofodds.com/ Let Em Ride Poker has a pretty big house edge even with perfect play, but there may be a fair bit of skill there. Roulette has no skill, huge house edge (>5%) and is an incredibly stupid game for people who are stupid about gambling... no offense to any roulette players reading this.

Craps is great. So much action. Just learn what the sucker bets are and stay away from them. Don't play the field, and make sure you know the correct odds on the numbers. But if you can get a hot shooter its the best game in the world. I once rolled for 45 minutes in San Juan, Puerto Rico and everyone was chanting "Willy" before everyone of my rolls because they thought that was my name. I didn't care and just went with it the whole night. The next day when I was with the people I went to san juan with, some people from the table yelled to me and said "nice shooting willy." and my friends were like did they just call you willy? Ahh memories. Craps is expensive though. Money can go real fast.

Just run away from Let It Ride. You can't win, Rocky.

I've always had good luck with let it ride, but I might just be lucky.
