Slots versus table games?

It's common conception that slots just might be the worst games in the casinos as you are just putting money blindly into a machine , hitting spin, and relying on the RNG to hope you get a good win whereas with table games you generally need at least basic math skills and actually do some kind of work to get a good win. The slot manufacturers are trying to change the tides a bit by putting out slots where you aren't just blindly hitting spin on a machine and actually have to do work to get a good win. Skill based slots are what they are call them. Anyone on here do well on the skill based slots versus the table games?

Table Games are the same as slots. They both have house edges. In slots, the PAR or hold percentage just does it's thing and you can't really play better or worse than the next player. In Table Games, the House Edge does it's thing and you definitely can play worse than another player, making the expected house hold higher than the house edge.

A 3.5% hold slot will do the same thing to your bankroll over the long run as a 3.5% house edge table game played optimally. The two differences are your bankroll will last a longer period of time with the table game due to speed of play. And you would most likely get more comps playing the slots, as table games generally comp less, even for the same play level.

Zcore, good point about the table games playing slower than slot machines because of the breaks table games get and the waiting for all players to place their bets before the game can continue whereas with slots it's just you and the machine and you aren't waiting for other people to place their bets.
