When discussing casino games with the potential for big wins, the topic can be divided into two distinct categories:
Casino games with the biggest possible top payout
Casino games with the biggest possible return-to-player (RTP) percentage
You must decide whether you'd prefer to go for the highest jackpots (which tend to have lower chances of winning) or whether you'd prefer games with higher RTPs (typically with lower top prizes).
Here's an overview of casino games with the highest possible wins. Progressive slots are the feature if you're after multi-million rewards.
# | Casino Game | Typical RTP (%) | Comment |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Video Poker | 98% – 99%+ | High RTP, especially with optimal strategy (e.g., Jacks or Better). |
2 | Blackjack | 99% – 99.5% | Very high RTP with good strategy, varies by rules and variant. |
3 | Baccarat | 98% – 98.5% | Simple mechanics and solid RTP, especially betting on Banker. |
4 | Slot Machines (Non-Progressive) | 95% – 98% | Varies widely by game, generally higher than progressive slots. |
5 | European Roulette | 97.3% | Better RTP than American roulette thanks to a single zero. |
6 | Slot Machines (Progressive) | 85% – 95% | Lower RTP due to part of bet funding the jackpot. |
7 | Keno | 70% – 75% | Low RTP but potential for big wins. |
8 | Scratch Cards | 60% – 70% | Generally low RTP, but fast wins can be fun. |
Looking for games that offer the best value for money? The following table gives games with the highest RTP – ideal for those wanting prolonged entertainment. Games like video poker, blackjack, baccarat, roulette, and slots are all excellent options.
Category | Definition | Examples |

When looking at popular casino games, there are two terms you should know about: volatility and RTP (Return to Player).
RTP means "Return to Player," referring to how much of your bet is given back to players in the long run. The higher the RTP, the greater the long-term chances of the player winning.
Volatility is a measure of how often and how much a game will pay out.
All gambling involves an element of luck – even skill games such as poker. But we tend to differentiate games of pure chance from those where skill plays a part.

Slot machines were a long-time favorite among players, especially Norwegians who had early exposure even before online casinos. Naturally, they were an immediate choice when the online sites became accessible – and still are.
Slot machines are purely games of chance. There is no strategy that enhances your prospects, even though jackpots like in Mega Fortune or Mega Moolah can be life-changing. These games often have eight-figure jackpots.
Slots also deliver entertainment value beyond winnings. Most games prioritize stunning graphics and compelling themes. NetEnt is a leading developer in this space.
New types of slots were created over time. While classic 3-reel machines still exist, the newer video slots dominate with enhanced features, a high number of paylines, and bonus games.
A newer creation is the "Megaways" slot – with changing dynamic paylines on each spin. These highly volatile slots are not for everyone.
Category | Description | Expected RTP |
---|---|---|
Classic Slots | Simple 3-reel slots with few features | 95–97% |
Modern Video Slots | Advanced graphics, more reels, bonus features | 96–98% |
Jackpot Slots | Include progressive or fixed jackpots | 93–97% fixed, lower for progressive |
Megaways Slots | Huge number of ways to win, varying paylines | 96–97% |
Most table games are card games, but roulette and bingo games also fit into this category. These games offer a real thrill. While the house always has an edge, strategy play – especially in blackjack – can reduce that edge.
Here's a look at the house edge for some of the most popular table games:
Game | House Edge | Win Probability | Additional Info |
---|---|---|---|
Roulette | 2.7% (European), 5.26% (American) | Depends on bet type | American roulette has higher house edge due to double zero |
Baccarat | 1.06% (Banker), 1.24% (Player) | Banker: 45.8%, Player: 44.6%, Tie: 9.6% | Often 5% commission on Banker bets |
Blackjack | 0.5% to 2% depending on strategy | Depends on strategy and number of decks | Strategy significantly affects outcomes |
Poker | Varies widely | Depends on player skill and variant | Popular card game with many variations |
Perhaps the world's favorite card game, poker has become increasingly mainstream and more readily available online. While Texas Hold'em remains the most well-known version, online versions like video poker – where you play against a machine – are also widely popular.
A global favorite also known as "21," blackjack is played with one or more decks. The goal is to beat the dealer by getting closest to 21 without going over.
Players are dealt two cards. The dealer gets two – one face-up, the other face-down. Players can take more cards or stand, depending on their hand. Aces can be 1 or 11; face cards and tens are 10.
Online blackjack is extremely popular. You can play standard RNG versions or live casino adaptations with real dealers via video stream.
While not as widely played in some countries, baccarat is gaining popularity. It is simple to play, fast-paced, and has one of the lowest house edges among table games.
