Casino games differ from each other by few percentage points. The best bet could probably be "bank" at baccarat. If you play many hours, day after day, you might notice that some bets are better than the others, but if you are a recreational player who visits casino once in a while these percentages won't make much difference. You can play the game with the worst possible odds and come out a winner and do everything right and loose. Don't forget someone wins a lottery when everyone says that the odds are horrible.

Lowest house edge on a bet where no strategy is needed. Just bet and cross your fingers.

The lowest edge game in the casino is betting your friend's free odds bets and letting them tip the waitress for your drinks.

Blackjack. The Wizard's Las Vegas Blackjack Survey shows a house edge range of 0.16% to 0.78% making the edge of the worst blackjack game substantially lower than the 1.06% house edge on the banker at baccarat. Those are the numbers without getting into promotions, comps etc. Perfect play is required.
I didn't forget video poker. There is a deuces wild version where there is a player edge, however you had better be a pro with the proper bankroll.

the wizard has answered this at times, the complication comes in whether you specify a single bet or not.

LIR (a/k/a LID) and some poker variants.Quote: richbailey86What is the lowest house edge casino game that can be found in most casinos?
NOMINALLY these may have higher house edge values, Let It Ride a/k/a Let It Die gives you other benefits and the house edge is only applied part of the time. Most of the time is spent watching a grown man cry or seeing him lead away from the table chatting to himself while the Shift Manager promises that the casino will see that he gets some help and will never be assigned to Let It Die again.. While that is happening, the house edge is zero, so it all averages out.
PAI GOW POKER is a nominally high edge, but just about every third hand is a push and cards are dealt fairly slowly and the dealer usually has nice boobs (and if the drinks are cold and come quickly) you get to enjoy a NOMINALLY high edge game at a rather low actual house edge because the house edge applies on only two-thirds of the hands.
Any Blackjack with lots of dufuses who bet those side bets.
