There was a time when “casino player” was its own personality type. But now that millions of people around the world play these games, you can bump into just about anyone at the casino. That’s why variety has become so important; there’s a game for every personality, and a personality for every game.
To help you find the right casino games for you to play, here are some suggestions based on the main personality traits:
Open to Experience(curious vs. cautious)
This is where your current experience level comes into play. If you’re a cautious player, stick with what you already know, or try new games that are relatively simple with low house edges – Baccarat, for example. Curious players can open up to a wide range of new games; Craps is an exciting game that’s unlike anything else at the casino.
Conscientious (efficient vs. easy-going)
Games that require skill to play should be right up your alley if you’re on the efficient, highly-organized end of this spectrum. Poker is the most skillful game at the casino; you might also enjoy Blackjack, given your ability to learn the basic strategies. Easy-going players are spontaneous and should enjoy trying just about anything, but games of chance like Roulette are more likely to stick.
Extraverted (energetic vs. reserved)
Some games are naturally more adrenaline-pumping than others. If you’re an extrovert looking for a rush, try the pit games – Baccarat and Pai Gow Poker are incredibly lively games with lots of action. Need something quieter? The slow pace of poker will keep you from getting too pumped up.
Agreeable (friendly vs. detached)
This category goes hand-in-hand with your level of extraversion, but now the focus is more on the social aspect. The pit games remain a solid choice for friendly players; if you’d rather be doing your own thing, video poker is a better choice than heading to the poker room.
Sensitive(sensitive vs. secure)
Think of this category as “tilt level.” If you’re likely to fly off the handle when things go wrong, stick with a low-variance game like Baccarat, Blackjack or Pai Gow Poker. If you’re cool as a cucumber, you can handle the high variance of slots and video poker, as well as Roulette, Keno and Sic Bo.
