Your best odds of winning in the Casino would be to NOT enter in the first place, that said.....
If you are determined to goto the Casino and play...
First stay away from the slots, totally random outcome no control.
Roulette is the same totally random no control.
The only game(s) that you can have any control would be card games.
Of all the card games Blackjack (not Spanish 21) is the one game where you can really excel. Learn the "Basic Strategy" of playing Blackjack that will help to improve your odds immensely.
Although it is not illegal, card counting is not an accepted practise in most (ALL) casinos, you can try to learn it but if you are caught you will be asked to leave.
Stick with an 8 deck shoe style table, not a 6 deck auto-loader. The shoe table gives you the advantage of a stoppage in play every 30-40 minutes while they switch decks. This gives you the opportunity to take stock of your situation and decide whether you are making money or losing.
Set some upper (and lower) limits. If you win so much leave, if you lose so much leave. Start with a decent bankroll (usually $500-$1000) If the dealer cuts your bankroll in half in 1 shoe RUN!!!
There are many books on the subject of basic strategy in Blackjack. Read some BEFORE you goto the Casino.
Practise playing the strategy on an online casino (Use their play money) When you get REALLY good online then try the real thing.
Oh and finally NO ALCOHOL WHILE PLAYING!!! I know it's free and all but don't drink alcohol while playing. Try a coffee or soda. Save the Alcohol for celebrating your win after you leave the Casino.

If you count things like poker and sports betting, then those can be your best bets IF you're really good at them. You can get an edge at poker because you're not (directly) playing against the house, and you can get an edge over the other players. You can get an edge in sports betting because of the variability of results. Most games are essentially like the house flipping a coin with a 55% edge instead of a fair 50% edge: there are a fixed number of outcomes and the house wins most of them. In sports betting, the lines they set come with a house edge, but if the line isn't accurate then you can still make money.
If you're thinking about typical "casino" games, your best bet is probably to go with blackjack (21). Even if you don't count cards (and I would recommend that you don't...these days they typically spot it pretty quickly), if you play perfect strategy then you shrink the house's edge to a pretty small margin. As the previous poster said, just make sure to be attentive and don't drink.
You can't get an edge over the house in these games (except blackjack when you card count, which is why the casino doesn't let you do it). They don't afford the flashy lights, comped rooms, and free drinks by giving people an edge. However, if you play blackjack well you can probably do better than other games.

I found the best is on the roulette table playing columns or 12's. It is the blocks on the side (12's) and the blocks on the end(columns). You must decide which is the best for u, it work the same. I will explain in "one unit" amounts, again you decide what you want to loose (and I say loose because gambling will always make you loose in the end)
You play "one unit" each on two of the three columns/12's. You have covered 65% of the numbers which can be played. You get paid "two to one" if you win. That mean play 2, get 3 back with a 65% chance of winning.
Be careful - every time you loose, you must win 2 times to get your money back. I had reasonable good success with this, but the table must be quite busy and you must have time.
Good luck

Blackjack has the lowest house-advantage of all the casino games in America. In Europe, where there is single-zero roulette, roulette has the lowest house-advantage. This is why roulette is much more popular in Europe than it is in the U.S. If you look around you can find single-zero roulette in the US. It usually has a higher minimum bet than the other double-zero tables.

Blackjack. Single deck. Nevada. Basic strategy. No goofy rules (e.g., Five-card charley, Spanish 21, Double Exposure, etc.) The house has a scant 0.1% edge which can easily be overcome by counting cards and varying your bet accordingly.

They say that Blackjack and Craps, along with poker has the best odds. Stay away from roulette and Carribean Stud.

Many video poker games give the player the edge with perfect basic strategy.
