This is a difficult question, and it depends on your skills at certain games.
Craps can be one of the best games or worst games for you. Betting only the pass lines with odds in Craps is one of the better games to play. If you bet the pass line and take 2X odds and bet nothing else, the house edge is only .6%. Most people though often bet many of the other bets which have a huge house edge, For example, a hard 8 bet has a 9.09% house edge, placing the 4 has a 6.67% house edge, and betting on a YO 11 has an 11.11% house edge. http://wizardofodds.com/craps
Without any skill, betting the Banker on Baccarat gives you the best chance of winning any game, with a 1.05% house edge. as listed here http://wizardofodds.com/baccarat.
Blackjack odds vary based on your skill of play, but if you use a perfect strategy you can get the house edge down to about 1% .... and if you can count 8 decks you can gain an advantage :)
Roullette is a horrible game to try to win at. Every single bet you place has a 5.28% house edge. One of the biggest edges of any game in the casino.
Most of the other table games are "sucker games" with a house edge over 5% ... these include 3 card poker and let it ride
Slots have a house edge anywhere from 2% to 10% depending on the casino, but this includes the big jackpot. So with variance, these are worse to win at than most table games.
If you are a good poker player, this is the best game to win at, since you are playing against other players and not the house

Play blackjack - it is roughly even money if you play a reasonable game...pick up a 10 dollar black jack book and learn the rules...don't play in Indian Casinos - try to steer clear from longshot add ons...just play a solid game and play with money you don't care about losing. Your odds go up as the number of decks decreases...so don't be afraid to play at the two deck games for a little more cash...the counting is easier and possible, but you may be forced to play 25 dollar chips.
The best tip I can give any gambler is this - when you win an unexpected amount - immediately leave the casino with your winnings and splurge on what you have always wanted but never bothered to get when you were living responsibly. Cut the money in half, and splurge...that way if you go back and lose (because you will go back) at least you hav something you never thought you'd get but always wanted plus the entertainment of the adventure.
If you win a couple grand beyond your expectations...get your wife a day at the spa to save money on her gambling...get out and purchase a library of texas holdem or Omaha hold em books for 300 or 500 dollars and bone up for the real game - poker. By her a bracelet or bauble at a pawn shop because lets face it, the pawnshops are selling highend items cheap in gambling towns...
Regardless though...play black jack...play slow...take the third basemen's seat (to the right of the dealer...last to act)...and play for the double down on 9 to 11 when the dealer is showing 2 to 5.
Playing poker is an altogether different animal - it is a sport, not a game...steer clear of it until you have a nice bankroll.
Another tip - when you win a couple grand - ask your wife which machines she wants to play or try...the first one she says - tell her to stick 300 dollars in it and run it at max credits...if you hit you hit...if you don't you don't, but at least you get your wife to get the jingle jangle of the pesky machines out of her system...hopefully she will say "The Poker Machines" or "Wheel of Fortune", that way you know she will have to use her best game (buy her a 10 dollar poker machine gambling book - they exist and work)...or you will know when she hits it big so you can go congratulate her...
Have a good time, and live it up - ask for comps and double down...

Craps is the beast odds period. to be more specific the pass line odds bet is by far the best bet in a casino againt the house. Poker has good odds if you have good cards. Craps odds are the same regardless. Bacarrat is 50 50 at best.

Blackjack can vary depending if you can count cards AND know the perfect BASIC STRATEGY and how to vary your decisions according to the count.
With only a foggy notion of basic strategy or none at all depending on how the cards are situated in the shoe the house edge can vary from 5.00% to as hi as 20%
DO NOT PLAY BLACK JACK at a table that reshuffles the cards after every hand or only pays 6 to 5 for a black jack hand or allows the dealer to hit a soft 17 hand..You don't have a hope in hell of winning.

Poker, sports betting, and horse betting are games of skill, so in theory you could have a mathematical edge if you were good enough.
All other games are games of chance, with blackjack, video poker, and craps having the smallest edge for the house.
Roulette, Big Six Wheel, and Keno have the biggest edge for the house.

It's Punto Banco that has the best chance for the punter, if your American you'll refer to it as Baccarat unfortunately Baccarat is a different game. Then it's craps and after that it's Blackjack with Blackjack being the only variable % game on offer.

Betting the line in craps has the best odds of winning. However, it has the least pay-off.

Craps has the best odds if you know what to bet on.
