Best Games to Play at Sweepstakes Casinos

Not all casino games are created equal. Some have much better odds than others. Here is what to play to maximize your SC.

Best Games by House Edge

Blackjack (Best Overall)

House edge: ~0.5-1%. Blackjack offers the best odds at most sweepstakes casinos. With basic strategy, you can keep your expected loss to a minimum. Available at Stake.us, Chumba, Pulsz, Modo, Luckyland, and many more.

Video Poker

House edge: ~0.5-5% depending on variant. Full-pay Jacks or Better has one of the lowest house edges in any casino. Look for games with good pay tables.

Roulette (European)

House edge: ~2.7%. European (single zero) roulette is significantly better than American (double zero) at 5.26%. Auto Roulette is popular at WowVegas, Legendz, and Spinpals.

Crash Games

House edge: ~1-4%. Games like Crash Live (MyPrize.us), Space XY (Rebet), and 1000x Busta (American Luck) let you set your own cash-out multiplier. Lower multipliers = safer plays.

Plinko

House edge: varies. Popular at Sportzino, Moonspin, and Dara Casino. Fun and fast, but variance can be high.

Games to Avoid

  • Progressive jackpot slots: Very high house edge (5-15%+). The jackpot rarely hits.
  • Keno: House edge often 20%+. Only play for fun, not profit.
  • Side bets: Almost always terrible odds.

Remember: if you are just collecting daily SC and cashing out at minimum, the games you play matter less. But if you want to grow your balance, stick to blackjack and video poker.

Playthrough Requirements

Most sites require 1x playthrough on free SC before withdrawal. This means you need to wager your SC at least once. Blackjack usually counts 100% toward playthrough. Exception: Stake.us has no playthrough requirement at all.
