Player Values by Game

[themike537]

What do you guys think about player values as far as each casino game goes? The five most popular games are Blackjack, Slots, Craps, Roulette, and Video Poker - which do you think are worth the most for us as affiliates?

I'm not asking which gets more traffic, because that's easy information to find. Instead, I'm wondering which game produces more revenue per player.

For me its slots all the way. Reason being thats what I target, I'm sure if you persue any of the mentioned games you would do good.

That's a tough one. What does your site target? Are you targeting free chip players or high rollers?

I would generalize on the niche as opposed to the specific game.

I'm still relatively new to the casino side of things, but I'd have to think that slots leads the way in player value. After that I'd honestly have no idea... maybe Roulette next as it also fairly easy to play and has a high house edge. Either that or Video Poker... I remember seeing a show a few years ago that called 'video poker' the 'crack cocaine' of the casino.

If I had to put them in a list in average player value, this would be my totally unscientific guesses.

1. slots
2. Roulette
3. Video Poker
4. Craps
5. Blackjack

Well right now my site targets a specific game on the list, so that's why I was wondering.

I'm relatively new to casino as well, in fact most of my players are poker players who find the side games, and by far with these players I would have to say that blackjack far surpasses other games. My sample size is probably not as great as some straight casino affiliates though.

I mainly focus on slots but my next project will be more on table games. You can make a whole site just on say, roulette and certainly attract those players. Blackjack is very popular too I agree.

My motto is to promote everything but I still have a long way to go.

I have found slots players to be the biggest money makers for me. Perhaps it's because the game is so fast and there is no real strategy such as blackjack or some of the other table games. I imagine a hard core roulette player or craps player could be highly profitable too. But coming across these players is surely going to be more difficult than slots and blackjack players.

Blackjack players have huge swings that's for sure. I have heard from some AM's that the slots players are the highest value, I would guess video poker has decent player values, although with all that video poker strategy and whatnot they say the machines have like 99% payback or something like that. Either way a gamblers a gambler :-)

[themike537]

Yeah some video poker games theoretically can have a 99+% payout but the majority of the players are going to be degens playing at like 90% instead of pros.

Really seems to me like they're all pretty close, with perhaps Slots at a slight advantage.

One thing someone pointed out to me privately was that live casinos allocate almost all of their floor space to Slots/Video poker games, so that might mean something as well (although it could just be based on the popularity of those games).
