Who is more successful in casinos, men or women? (AP Images)

The battle of the sexes has been going on forever, and casino play is certainly an area where women would have a fair shake at competing with the men. We all know that the house will bet them both, but which sex usually fares better in the casino? Overall more men seem to play video poker, while the women usually go for the slots. Video poker usually gives you better odds to win if you know your strategy, so the men get the edge in that department.

Being successful in the casino involves learning about all the edges that you can, and I think that men are more likely to pick up a book about basic blackjack or poker strategy than most women would be. Women tend to gamble less recklessly and practice better bankroll management discipline, so they’re probably in the game longer than the average man.
